How to Productize a Service Business with AI
What does it mean to productize a service business with AI?
Productizing a service means taking the work you do by hand for each client and packaging it into something repeatable that clients can use without you in the room. AI makes that possible for small operators, because the judgment and busywork inside a process can now be handled by an app instead of a person.
Why I'm doing this every week, online
For the last month I ran an in-person AI meetup in Kuta, Lombok. I'm moving to Siargao in the Philippines, so the meetup is going online. The new format is simple: each week I take one real business, from someone in the audience or a friend, and we productize it with AI together.
What's the first business we're productizing?
A friend who runs a house flipping service business. He helps house flippers automate and outsource the processes behind their projects. Right now that is a service, which means it depends on his time. This week we build a small app that does that work with AI, so the service starts turning into a product.
How do you pick what to productize?
Start with the process you repeat for every client. In the house flipping case, it's the operational work flippers need handled on every project. The repeated part is the product. The custom part stays a service.
Who is this session for?
Anyone running a service business, coaching practice, or expert offer who wants to see a real business turned into an app step by step, instead of reading about it in theory.
FAQ
Do I need to be technical to join?
No. The session is a live build you can watch and ask questions in. You see the decisions, not just the finished app.
Can my business be the one we productize?
Yes. Each week features one business from the audience or a friend. Tell me about yours when you join.
Where does the meetup happen now?
Online, inside the Digital Product University app. It started in person in Kuta, Lombok, and moved online when I relocated to Siargao.
