The big idea
Starting any business — even a lemonade stand or lawn service — needs basic numbers. AI helps you figure out what to charge, what costs you face, and whether you will make money.
Some examples
- 'I want to start a tutoring service. Help me figure out what to charge per hour.'
- 'My lemonade stand costs $15 in supplies. I sell at $1.50 per cup. How many cups to break even?'
- 'I want to make and sell jewelry. Walk me through the basic costs and pricing.'
- 'I am planning a fundraiser. Help me budget so we actually raise money for the cause.'
