Big Idea

The argument in one line.

AI dissolved the operational and research advantages big brands held for decades, letting a small Shopify seller match their legal, customer service, product research, copywriting, and ad output without hiring a team.

Who This Is For

Read if. Skip if.

READ IF YOU ARE…

You run or want to start a Shopify brand and feel like you can't compete with bigger-funded competitors.
You're comfortable using Claude or ChatGPT for writing and research but haven't applied it to product research, ad creative, or sales copy yet.
You want a concrete process for finding an underserved niche inside a large, competitive market instead of hunting for a tiny untapped one.
You're running (or about to run) Meta ads and keep getting burned by expensive, underperforming creative.

SKIP IF…

You're looking for a done-for-you or paid course; this is one creator's process, not a step-by-step product walkthrough.
You sell in a market where legal, medical, or financial risk makes AI-drafted contracts or customer service genuinely unsuitable.
You already run a dedicated product research, copywriting, and performance marketing team; the advantage described here is specifically for lean, small operators.

TL;DR

The full version, fast.

The video argues that a single AI tool released about ten months earlier erased the structural advantages big Shopify brands held for decades: deep teams, expensive product research, and professional ad and copywriting budgets. The process has five parts. Use AI to cut operational costs (legal, customer service, development, design) to near zero. Pick a large, growing market and carve out an underserved niche inside it rather than a tiny untapped one. Build value instead of competing on price, using AI-generated bonus ebooks and tools. Feed AI three inputs, product facts, customer language from reviews, and proven ad-library examples, to get copy that actually converts. Run one diverse Meta campaign and let performance decide which ads scale.

Chapters

Where the time goes.

00:00 – 01:20

01 · Cold open: the 10-month shift

States the thesis: one AI tool released about ten months earlier erased the advantages big Shopify brands had held for decades, and teases a two-person brand that scaled from zero to a $1M/year pace in about seven months.

01:20 – 04:54

02 · Operations: run lean with AI

Covers using AI to gut operational overhead: legal contracts and research, Shopify development and design through Claude, and nearly fully-automated customer service through Gorgias, tasks that used to cost big brands thousands of dollars a month.

04:54 – 09:05

03 · Product research: little fish, big pond

Lays out the market-selection strategy, enter a large, growing market and carve out a small defensible slice instead of dominating a tiny niche, then feeds competitor and review data into Claude to find an underserved group, illustrated with a $200M coffee brand and the Dude Wipes origin story.

09:05 – 11:45

04 · Pricing: build value instead of cutting price

Explains why small brands don't need to compete on unit cost: AI can generate bonus ebooks, guides, and simple tools or calculators in minutes that add real perceived value to a product without raising its cost.

11:45 – 14:40

05 · Copy: three inputs that fix AI copy

Breaks down why default AI sales copy is weak and the fix, feeding the model specific product facts, real customer language pulled from reviews, and proven ad and landing-page examples pulled from Meta's Ad Library.

14:40 – 16:34

06 · Ads: one campaign, diverse creative

Covers the most common ad-account mistake, too few, low-quality ads, and the fix: load a diverse batch of AI-generated ad formats into a single campaign and ad set, using tools like Higgsfield for the images.

16:34 – 17:25

07 · Funnel: clone a proven landing page

Shows the last piece, finding a landing page that's already converting via the Meta Ad Library and handing its URL to Claude along with product information to generate a matching funnel page.

17:25 – 18:28

08 · The two things that took them to $1M

Recaps the exact two actions, a listicle-format AI-built funnel and 10-20 AI-generated ads produced every week, that took a two-person Denmark-based team from zero to a $1M/year pace against a competitor doing hundreds of millions, then closes with a subscribe CTA.

Atomic Insights

Lines worth screenshotting.

A single AI tool released about ten months earlier dissolved advantages big brands had spent decades building.
Legal work that once cost $50,000 and took three or four months to draft a contract can now be done with AI in about five minutes.
The highest-leverage move for a small brand isn't finding an untapped niche, it's carving out a small, defensible slice of a huge, growing market so there's always room left to grow into.
A coffee brand that targeted people with stomach issues grew past $200 million in sales inside a market dominated by giants, without ever launching a second product.
Feeding AI a market's customer reviews surfaces the same underserved pocket of dissatisfied buyers that four college students found when they invented a men's-targeted version of baby wipes.
Big brands can out-order and out-price a small seller on raw unit cost, so the fix is building more value into the product rather than racing to the bottom on price.
An AI-written bonus ebook or calculator that costs minutes to create can be priced like a $20-$40 product and given away free to raise perceived value without raising cost.
AI sales copy fails almost every time it's asked to write generically; it only becomes competitive once it's fed specific product facts, real customer language from reviews, and proven ad examples.
Screenshotting competitors' ads and landing pages from Meta's Ad Library gives AI a template for what already converts, instead of guessing at format.
Most underperforming ad accounts fail for one reason: a single low-quality ad gets launched instead of a diverse batch tested inside one campaign and one ad set.
A two-person team working from an apartment scaled to a $1M/year pace in about seven months against a competitor doing hundreds of millions, using an AI-built funnel and 10-20 AI-generated ads a week.
Winning ads got doubled down on and losing ads got cut; that iteration loop, not any single hero ad, was the actual growth engine.

Takeaway

Five AI Levers That Replace a Big Brand's Edge

WHAT TO LEARN

Big brands' edge was operational scale and expensive research, and AI now lets a small Shopify seller match both, so the real skill is feeding AI specific, concrete inputs instead of vague prompts.

01Cold open: the 10-month shift

One AI tool released about ten months before this video dissolved advantages big brands had spent decades building; there's no size requirement left to compete on execution.
A two-person team working from an apartment reached a $1M/year pace in about seven months against a competitor doing hundreds of millions, using nothing but an AI-run funnel and ad production.

02Operations: run lean with AI

Legal work that used to cost $50,000 and three to four months of back-and-forth with attorneys can be drafted with AI in about five minutes.
Shopify development, page design, and most customer service (through tools like Gorgias) can now run on AI instead of a team, freeing that budget for growth.
A small brand's real advantage isn't working harder, it's starting from a blank slate with none of the legacy headcount, offices, and overhead a big brand is too slow to cut.

03Product research: little fish, big pond

The strongest market strategy isn't finding a tiny untapped niche, it's carving a small, defensible slice out of a large, growing market so there's always room left to expand.
Feeding AI raw competitor and customer-review data surfaces the same underserved group that built a $200 million coffee brand and the original Dude Wipes: buyers purchasing the category but unsatisfied with what's available.
Screenshot or download reviews if you have to; the raw material matters more than how cleanly it's formatted before you feed it to AI.

04Pricing: build value instead of cutting price

Big brands can always out-order you on unit cost, so competing on price is a losing game; competing on perceived value isn't.
An AI-generated bonus (an ebook, guide, or simple calculator) can be built in minutes, priced like a real $20-$40 product, then given away free to raise the offer's value without raising its cost.

05Copy: three inputs that fix AI copy

Default AI sales copy from a generic prompt is weak almost every time; it only becomes usable once it's given real inputs instead of a vague request.
Feed AI three things: specific product facts, customer language pulled straight from reviews, and proven ad or landing-page examples pulled from a public ad library.
Mining competitor reviews for exact complaint phrasing and reusing that language in your own copy makes it sound like it was written by someone who's actually used the product.

06Ads: one campaign, diverse creative

The most common reason ad accounts lose money isn't the platform, it's running too few, low-quality ads and quitting before a real test ran.
Load a diverse batch of AI-generated ad formats into a single campaign and a single ad set, then let performance data decide what scales; cut losers and double down on winners.

07Funnel: clone a proven landing page

A public ad library is also a funnel-research tool: click into a competitor's running ad to see the exact landing page template and copy that's already converting for them.
Handing AI a proven landing page URL alongside your own product information is enough for it to generate a matching funnel page ready to load into Shopify.

08The two things that took them to $1M

Everything in this process collapses to two repeatable actions: a listicle-style funnel built with AI, and 10-20 AI-generated ads produced every single week.
Most of the week's ad output was 100% AI-generated images, not filmed video, and the ads that worked got scaled while the rest got cut.

metaphor

Only 10 months ago, big brands had all the advantage. They had way more money, way more resources, way more people. So on Shopify, it felt basically impossible to be able to beat them.

But then everything changed. Let me show you what I mean.

With the release of just one single AI tool 10 months ago, nearly every advantage these big brands had that made them sort of sit there fat and happily for decades just melted away. now i've been building businesses for 17 years and i've sold over 460 million dollars so far but this business right here is doing five million dollars a month that i own and we've been able to use some of these tools to absolutely destroy the biggest brands on the planet on shopify then here's a brand that started from zero on shopify just around seven months ago and now they're on pace for a million dollars a year and they're competing against brands that do hundreds of millions of dollars a year And there's two things that they did to get there that I'm going to share.

But first, we need to get into something. So the question is, with all the advantages that small brands have access to now, what really separates the ones that absolutely crush it versus the ones that fail? In this video, I'm going to show you exactly how to use AI to be the biggest brands on Shopify and when it actually makes more sense to just use common sense and better judgment.

So the first thing is operations. Now, big companies, because they've been built sort of pre -AI, built up all these massive resources, these large teams, these managerial layers.

And so they're doing all this stuff that costs them a ton of money. And I know from building a lot of businesses over 17 years now is that firing people is terrible. It's no fun.

And you tend to do it way slower than you probably should, even if the entire landscape changes. So the advantage to you as a small brand owner is that you're basically starting from a blank slate. You don't have all of this people and 401ks and offices and all this kind of nonsense that you don't need anymore because you can do what they do with one -tenth of the people.

So the first thing is to focus on operations. To give you an example, we bought a software business for a couple million dollars, I don't know, four years ago or so, and it cost us $50 ,000 to do just one thing that now you can do in about five minutes with AI. Now that advantage is insane.

That did not exist before. So what you want to do inside of your business is you want to use AI for as much operational load as possible. So when it comes to developing pages, you're going to use Claude.

When it comes to writing legal contracts, now there's going to be a lot of people that says, oh no, never use AI as your lawyer. And sure, if it's something that's extremely important and you think could really blow up in your face, feel free to talk with an actual attorney. But I'm going to tell you that even in our businesses, for better or worse, you know, we like to keep things as scrappy as possible.

Nine times out of 10, we're using AI to either do legal research or write contracts and all that sort of stuff that used to cost thousands of dollars and would take weeks with stuff you can do in just five minutes. So that software business that we bought, we spent $50 ,000. Creating the legal contract with UK attorneys and US attorneys and all this back and forth, that took three or four months just to get the contract ready to buy this couple million dollar software business, which is not that big of an acquisition.

Now we can do that exact same thing in five minutes, and that's an advantage that you have right now. On the customer service side with Shopify, you're able to use apps like Gorgias to do almost all of your customer service 100 % automated with AI. Now, that tool started off as just a basic ticketing service, but they've adopted AI and now allow you to do most of your customer service without any people, which all of a sudden saves you thousands and thousands of dollars a month that instead you can just devote to growing your business and beating these big brands.

And the other areas that you really want to use AI for to beat big brands are development and design. Now, I have other videos that go into how to use this, but in general, you'll use something like Claude to do almost all of your Shopify development and do almost all of your design. And these tools did not exist in their current powerful form until about 10 months ago.

And so these are things big brands are spending, once again, thousands or tens of thousands of dollars a month that you don't have to. So you run a more efficient operation and you can just dump that money into growing your business, either with marketing, better products, recruiting influencers are all three of these. But...

you want to make sure that you keep your business as simple as possible. And we're going to talk a lot about that, especially when it comes to marketing, because you're going to lose all of your advantage if you don't simplify your design development in other areas of your business and use these tools for their full power.

And here's the thing, all this operational stuff is not really what's going to make the biggest difference to you building the most valuable business possible. So if you end up wanting to sell your business for millions of dollars or tens of millions of dollars to any of these big companies, what we're about to cover in terms of how to use AI and how to build the most valuable business possible may be the most valuable thing you listen to anytime this month.

So the next area is what big companies like Procter & Gamble and Unilever They spend hundreds of millions of dollars every single year on product research just to make sure that they're selling the right products with the right features. Now you can beat big brands on Shopify by doing this all nearly automatically with AI.

So the main process you're going to use today is you decide on a market you want to enter. And so the way I consider markets and products to sell is basically I want to be a little fish in a big pond. Because that gives you room to grow.

So the old model was like, hey, I just want to enter this tiny little market that nobody cares about. All these big brands, fortunately, were so nice. So they left for me to go play in this little market.

And then I want to be the biggest competitor in that space. And then I'll be done. The problem is, is that as soon as you become one of the bigger players in that space, you can't grow anymore.

So you have to go find a new product. You have to go find a new pond to get into. Instead, if you find a big market, a big pond, and you're like, I just want to carve out a small part of this big market, which can be a million or $10 million business, by the way, I want to carve out a small part of this market.

And then I still have the ability to grow into the rest of the market. This is exactly what we've done in our business selling coffee. And so we entered this massive coffee market and we found that there were people that were having stomach issues with coffee.

And so we designed and developed a product that was better for people with stomach issues with coffee. And so that carved our little niche, which allowed us to build a business that today has over $200 million in total sales in this massive coffee market, billion, multi -billion dollar market. And we've still been able to grow without having to add a new product.

And so all we're doing is... saying hey this product yeah it's great for people with stomach issues it's also great for people that just want better health like me and my business partner we don't have stomach issues but we want the cleanest coffee possible that's organic tested for hundreds of different toxins single origin high elevation grow and all that sort of stuff so we're playing in this massive pond as we ourselves become a bigger and bigger fish within that pond so that's exactly what you want to do So the whole process is very simple.

You find the pond that you want to plant, a growing market that you like. If you're into health and fitness, you go into that market. If you're into automotive stuff, you go into that market.

If you're into kitchen and cooking, you go into that market. And then you find this big market that seems to be growing, which is easy to find, just a quick Google search. And then you look at what are the best -selling products in that market.

If you're looking at physical products, you can find this stuff on Amazon. You can look at other people's Shopify stores. And then from there...

You just want to grab as much information as possible, especially customer reviews. If you have to literally screenshot them, screenshot them. If you want to use a tool which you can Google to download their reviews, do that as well.

Then you take this raw material and you feed it into an AI tool. My preference is Claude. And you say, hey, within this market for this product, who is buying this thing?

What do they care most about? And what are they unhappy with? And you're looking for this.

sort of starving group of people in this market that are kind of unsatisfied they're buying these products but it's not really exactly what they want this is exactly what four guys did you know about 10 years ago i believe that were sitting in their dorm room they were sitting there using these bathroom wipes that you know especially back then they were all covered in little babies and yellow and pink and that was kind of who they were targeted at but they're like look Everyone else has butts also, even dudes in college.

And so they created their own bathroom wipes, put, literally called them dude wipes. They're all black and they have sort of, you know, fun language that's targeted to that market. And then all of a sudden now they're a multi hundred million dollar business.

They found this big market. They realized there was a group of people that were unsatisfied. And that's exactly what you're doing.

Except now you can do it all with AI. If you literally feed that raw material information about competitors' products, information from reviews on who's buying, positive and negative, you can come up with a tailored product so fast that finds these holes in these markets that can take big companies years to uncover and now you have that advantage to move quickly and create the perfect product for people that are desperate for a solution in just about any market now how do you compete with these brands on pricing because in almost all cases it's just a law of economics if they order more units than you do they're going to get lower cost which allows them to sell at lower prices, even though they make the same exact amount of money.

And so how do you beat them on pricing? Fortunately, you don't have to. Number one, if you're already creating a new product that's solving a problem for people that are desperate for a solution, you're already going to be able to charge more.

But you don't have to stop there. Because now, as a small brand with these huge advantages with AI, you can instead build the value of your product without actually increasing its cost. And so you'll notice on some of our sales pages, we're offering as bonuses, eBooks.

And so these can be recipe eBooks, these can be guide eBooks. These are things that people used to sell all day long for 20, 30, $40, and some people still do. Now you can create these with AI in literally minutes.

You can go tell Claude or your favorite LLM or AI chat tool of choice, hey, I wanna create a PDF that covers Whatever topic, how to use this thing, I want it to be a resource guide, something that's valuable for people using this product. And you can have that thing created in minutes that you can literally sell on your store for $20, $30, $40.

Even if you never sell a single unit, it doesn't matter because when somebody buys your main product, you can give that away for free. And it's got a real price. Hey, this thing is normally $20, $30, $40, but now you can get it 100 % for free.

So now you're adding $20, $30, $40 of extra value. to your product with something that you created in literally four minutes and if you want to get a little fancier you can even talk to claude or any other sort of llm and build a tool if you're selling a weight loss product you can build a weight loss tracker or calculator and these things are not hard to create at all with ai and you offer those as bonuses people do this all day long with mobile apps they build in literally a day that they offer as free bonuses when people buy their products so you can build the value of your product without increasing costs which allows you to either charge more and or makes it easier to convert more visitors into buyers and now you can use ai to write copy that's better than most humans which is common knowledge the problem is is most ai copy absolutely sucks I've read every copywriting book on the planet.

I've put in my 10 ,000 hours. Believe me, I've written copy that has generated hundreds of millions of dollars in sales. So I know good copy versus bad copy and what's actually going to perform.

And I can tell you, if you just go into Claude or ChatGPT or Grok or whatever and say, hey, write me some sales copy for my product, it's going to be terrible and it's not going to convert 99 out of 100 times. But you can fix that in about two minutes. So the way you fix it.

is you feed it examples and you feed it specific information. So when you're ready to sell your product, you want to feed it as much specific information as possible, specific facts, features, exactly what your product does, how it's made, the materials, the ingredients, why that stuff is made, how it's manufactured, as much raw material as possible, which can literally just be stuff you dump into a Google Doc.

It doesn't have to be formatted at all. So now it has good raw information about your product. The second piece you want to feed it...

is actual customer information and so if you've never sold your product before then you want to feed it your competitor reviews and say here's exactly what people are saying they like and don't like about the current options and you want it to use their exact language if they're like man i wish this thing you know it doesn't fit in my gym bag and so part of your copy can literally be fits in a gym bag or fits in any bag And so depending on your product, you can sort of let your imagination run wild, but you're speaking in customer's exact language.

The last piece is the most critical, is you feed it good examples. And so if you're looking for landing page copy, all you have to do is go to Facebook ad library, which you can Google, and you can start typing in different brands that you're familiar with. brands in your space the biggest brands on the planet for example if you wanted to go sell supplements you could type in grooms or you could type in ag1 or athletic greens or any of these massive brands and you could start seeing their exact ad copy you can just start screenshotting them or you can use other tools to grab them but you can just start screenshotting so now you have exact ad copy then you can click on all those ads you'll open up their exact landing pages so now you'll see the templates that they're following and you'll see their exact copy so now ai has raw material on your product they have raw material on what customers like and don't like, which you can also feed your reviews, by the way, if you have some.

And then it knows exactly what a good, high -performing landing page looks like. You feed it all that information, it's going to write copy better than almost every human being on the planet. Maybe other than the top 1%, which would be too expensive to afford anyways.

And these big brands probably aren't even writing copy this good at this point because they're still using humans that are more likely. mediocre copywriters and so you can do all this with those few easy steps and you can write copy and sell your product better than just about anybody else now the biggest place to get customers today is the massive social media platforms such as facebook instagram tick tock youtube and so forth they all have more than a billion users and you can get as much traffic and as many customers as your business could possibly handle but the problem is is actually being able to afford those customers And what most brands do is they throw up terrible ads and they wonder why they can't make any money, they lose money, they stop running ads, and they never go anywhere.

So what you want to be able to do is to create good, high -quality ads, even with very little experience. And so... There are a variety of ad formats that have been proven to work for any market.

And so if you create a diversity of these kind of ads, put them into a single campaign, which I have another video that talks about how to structure these campaigns. But basically all you're doing is going into the biggest ad platform on the planet, which is Meta, which covers Facebook and Instagram, create a single campaign, create a single ad set, dump a bunch of these high quality diverse ads in there, and you are much more likely to be able to get customers at a cost that allows you to scale.

now i have a tool below this video that i built that has 15 examples of the best ad formats you can possibly run today that are highly diverse which is way better than what you're going to spit out just by randomly prompting ai and it allows you to take your existing landing page copy or product information and automatically in literally like one second generate custom prompts for each of these types of ads that all you have to do is copy that prompt and go into either chat gpt or go into any image generation tool that you can use to generate AI images.

You can use Higgsfield .ai, you can use ChatGPT, you can use Creator .ai, which is a business that I'm a co -owner of. Any of these tools that allow you to access the AI models for image generation and then copy and paste those prompts in there. It'll generate those ads for you and you're done.

You load them into Facebook and you're off to the races. And really the last piece that you need is a good funnel. and so below this video i have something called the ai funnel toolkit that walks you through the whole process of creating a funnel with ai but the long story short is all you do is like we talked about going into facebook ad library clicking on some ads finding a good example of a landing page that's performing you give that url to claude and you tell it i want to create a landing page similar to this and it should already have all your product information and everything it's going to create that landing page for your product and then Once you generate that, you just load that up into Shopify and you're done.

You've got a good product. You've got good ads. You've got good copy.

You've got a good funnel. And then now you're beating brands extremely easily. So the guys that I'm working with that were able to scale from basically $0 to a million dollars a year on Shopify from scratch over the last seven months or so.

The two things that they did were they created a good funnel using AI, following all the practices we've talked about, following a good model. They used a listicle format, which is basically like the seven reasons why, which you'll see all kinds of people running. They created that style of landing page.

Then they created about 10 to 20 ads a week. Nine times out of 10, most of them were with AI. They had a few people record a few videos, but most of their ads that are performing well are actually 100 % AI.

So they created 10 to 20 of those ads a week, loaded them into Facebook. They cut off the ones that were not working. They doubled down on the ones that were working and they created more of those.

That was the entire process. Literally just those two things done 100 % with AI. These are just two guys that are sitting at their...

apartment i believe they shared over in denmark and they're beating a massive multi -hundred million dollar brand and that brand doesn't even know it yet so i'm sharing everything i know on this channel of how to scale businesses as quickly as possible based on my experience so go ahead and subscribe then jump over and watch this video next which i'm going to show you the world's simplest facebook campaign structure to scale your business incredibly fast

The Hook

The bait, then the rug-pull.

Matt Clark starts with the gap that defined ecommerce for years: big brands had the money, the people, and the resources, and small Shopify sellers couldn't touch them. Then he names the AI release that erased it, and spends the next eighteen minutes showing exactly where that advantage lives now.
