About Kim
Most "AI business" content is written by developers for developers. I'm none of that. I'm a regular person who got obsessed with AI and started building real businesses with it.
SHOK is my AI-native venture studio: a self-building system of digital businesses that run largely on automation. I'm building it in public, in real time, so you can see exactly what works.
If you've ever thought "AI sounds amazing but I don't know where to start", this is for you. You don't need to code. You need the right tools and a system.
What I'm building in public
I'm documenting the entire journey of building an AI venture studio from scratch. No coding, no team, no BS. Sign up and you'll get updates as I figure it out.
The AI tools I'm actually testing. What works, what doesn't, and whether it's worth your time. No affiliate fluff.
The workflows I'm building to run a business without coding. I'll share them as I create them.
Transparent updates on the SHOK venture studio: what I'm launching, what's earning, what failed.
Guides, templates, and tool lists, shared with subscribers first as I create them along the way.
The AI business opportunities I'm researching and scoring. Which ones I'm pursuing and why.
No hype. No "passive income" fantasies. Real numbers, real timelines, real challenges from day one.

$19 on Gumroad ↗How SHOK works
SHOK isn't just a blog. It's a live experiment in building a portfolio of AI-powered businesses, autonomously, at low cost, in public.
Research agents scan markets, score business ideas, and surface the best ones using a priority formula. No guessing.
Builder agents create landing pages, write copy, and launch products, often in days, not months.
Growth agents run experiments, track what works, and optimize. Scale what works, sunset what doesn't.
Every venture makes the next one smarter. Lessons are captured, workflows are updated, the studio gets better over time.
Proof of work
9 sessions. 23 deliverables. Every decision documented. See exactly what's been built and why.
