Build Your Business with AI | Live Bootcamp: April 21, 23 & 28

What would your business look like if two of your biggest time drains were handled by AI?

That is exactly what happens inside the Effortless Business Bootcamp. Three live sessions starting April 21st where you walk away with two AI employees worth 250K!

Here is what the three days look like:

  • April 21 — You see how a real business runs on AI. The roles, the tasks, what gets offloaded and how it all connects so the business stops depending on one person doing everything.

  • April 23 — You apply it to your own business. Where is your time going, what is repetitive, what can actually be automated. Real answers, not theory.

  • April 28 — You get two AI employees that are already built and trained. You set them up inside the tools you already use and they start handling work for you that day.

VIP pricing for our upcoming bootcamp is going up TONIGHT. If you've been thinking about it, now is the time.

Perplexity Is Becoming Your Personal CFO: Perplexity just made it possible to connect your bank accounts, credit cards, loans, and investments using Plaid, so you can see everything in one place instead of jumping between apps. But the real shift is this: you can ask it questions about your money like you would a person, and it will break things down, track your spending, and even build out things like budgets or net worth dashboards for you. It’s less about checking your finances and more about having something actively help you understand and manage them.

Anthropic Tightens Control Over OpenClaw: OpenClaw’s creator sparked backlash after claiming his account was briefly banned by Anthropic over “suspicious” activity, only for it to be quickly reinstated after the situation went viral. The incident comes right after Anthropic changed its pricing model, forcing OpenClaw users to pay separately via API usage, citing heavier compute demands from these tools. While Anthropic denies targeting OpenClaw, the timing and feature overlap have fueled criticism that the company is tightening control while competing directly with the ecosystem it once supported.

OpenAI Drops a $100 Plan to Fill the Gap: OpenAI just introduced a $100/month plan, finally bridging the awkward jump between its $20 Plus tier and the $200 Pro option. It’s clearly built for heavier users, especially those using Codex for coding, with about 5x more capacity than Plus and a push to compete directly with Anthropic’s pricing. Bottom line: this isn’t about casual users, it’s OpenAI doubling down on power users who are hitting limits and willing to pay to move faster.

AI agents now read your docs almost as much as humans do.

Mintlify analyzed 790 million requests across its documentation platform. The finding: AI coding agents account for 45.3% of all traffic, nearly tied with traditional browsers at 45.8%.

Two tools are driving almost all of it:

  • Claude Code: 25.2% of total traffic, more requests than Chrome on Windows

  • Cursor: 18% of total traffic

  • Together they account for 95.6% of all identified AI agent traffic

The rest of the field, OpenCode, Trae, ChatGPT, and NotebookLM, is showing up but nowhere close.

One caveat: OpenAI's Codex doesn't send an identifiable user-agent header, so the real agent percentage is likely even higher.

The takeaway for anyone maintaining developer docs: your documentation now serves two audiences. Structure and machine-readability matter as much as clarity for human readers.

That’s a Wrap for Today 👋
