Sell Your AI Skills?
The author suggests that professionals should monetize their expertise by creating 'AI skills'—specialized, decision-heavy agents—rather than traditional courses or ebooks. This approach allows buyers to integrate expert decision-making directly into their workflows.
Why it matters
This represents a shift in the 'knowledge economy' from passive content consumption to active, AI-driven workflow automation.
min read Sell your AI skills, not another course Turn the judgment behind work you repeat into an AI skill people can buy, run, and use inside the job instead of another product to study.
Most people do not need another course. They need the part of your expertise that helps them make a good decision while the work is happening.
A course explains your method. An ebook documents it. A boilerplate gives someone a starting point. An AI skill can put your checks, examples, boundaries, and decision rules inside the work itself.
That is a different kind of knowledge product. The buyer does not have to finish eight modules, highlight a PDF, and remember what you said three weeks later. Their agent can use the method when the problem appears.
