Ideas se execution tak.
Dev builds real businesses with AI, one at a time, and shows every step: the idea, the tools, the costs, and every real dollar it makes (or doesn't).
What is this?
The Dev's Desk is a series about starting small businesses with AI, out in the open. Dev, a 3D character made with AI, picks an idea, builds it with AI tools, puts it online and reports what really happens.
No course to sell, no secret formula. Just one honest build after another, on the way to a $90,000 goal.
- Real numbersEvery dollar shown is real and comes straight from the payment records.
- Step by stepEach build is explained in plain language, so you can follow along without knowing how to code.
- Failures includedBusinesses that flop go to the graveyard, with exactly what went wrong.
The $90K goal
Revenue from everything Dev builds, added up. Updated after each money episode, straight from the payment records.
Last updated November 3, 2026. Day one: nothing sold yet.
It's a goal, not a promise. These are Dev's own results, not typical results or a prediction of what anyone else will earn.
The businesses
Every business Dev builds, whether it's live, next up, or already in the graveyard.
