Aish Srinivasan has built AI products at Fireworks AI, Microsoft, Google, and IBM and built a thriving creator business on top of it.

AI Builder vs Building with AI: How to Scale Your Expertise Into a Business

About This Workshop

Aishwarya (Aish) Srinivasan is an AI leader, data scientist, and creator-entrepreneur who has built AI products at Fireworks AI, Microsoft, Google, and IBM, all while teaching AI and data science to a global audience.
In this session, Aish shows how she uses AI to turn her expertise into multiple income streams: courses, content, sponsorships, and advisory work, run like a one-person business without a one-person workload. She'll pull examples from her own AI education business to show how AI powers the full operation across product, content, marketing, sales, and go-to-market.

You'll learn how to package what you already know into offers people will pay for, how to run a real go-to-market motion with AI behind it, and how to ship the work in a fraction of the usual time. The goal is simple: more ways to earn from your expertise, with fewer hours spent getting there.

What to expect:
•⁠  ⁠How to identify the expertise you can actually package and sell, and which format (content, course, community, or advisory) fits it best
•⁠  ⁠The exact AI workflow she uses to turn a single idea into a week of content, a course lesson, and a sales asset
•⁠  ⁠How she runs a full go-to-market with AI: launch content, enrollment, partnerships, and customer communications
•⁠  ⁠How AI handles the parts most experts avoid, like marketing, sales, and outreach, not just content
•⁠  ⁠Why using AI only for content creation leaves the most value on the table, and what to do instead
•⁠  ⁠A behind-the-scenes look at the systems that let her grow revenue without adding hours

You'll leave with a clear picture of how to build new income streams around your expertise, plus a workflow you can start applying to your own work the same week.
