The author developed Jupiter, a local voice dictation software for Windows, using AI to handle tasks like coding, interface design, and licensing. While AI significantly increased individual productivity, it also created a need for ongoing maintenance, bug fixes, and user support, which the author initially managed alone.
The use of AI allowed the author to launch projects that were previously too expensive or complex to start without a team. However, as the number of active projects grew—including book writing, financial market research, and software development—the workload expanded beyond the capacity of a single person.
The author suggests an economic hypothesis: while AI reduces the labor required to create a single product, it may increase the total number of products being created. This shift could potentially generate new demand for human specialists in development, design, and marketing to scale these ventures.
Despite initial expectations that AI would eliminate the need for a team, the author now finds themselves seeking human partners to manage existing tasks. The focus has shifted from replacing staff with AI to finding collaborators to help scale operations and handle the growing volume of work.
