The AI Why with Liam Lawson

How One Founder Replaced a 20-Person Team With AI Tools


Listen Later

On this episode of The AI Report, Liam Lawson sits down with Avi Hacker, founder of the AI Consulting Network and one of the most prolific solo operators in the AI world.

Avi doesn’t know how to code, but that hasn’t stopped him from building a business powered entirely by custom GPTs, Airtable workflows, Make.com automations, and a relentless commitment to experimentation. He’s automated everything from daily newsletters to podcast production and does it all without a technical team.

This conversation dives into:

  • How Avi scaled from law school grad to AI consultant

  • Why he operates like a 20-person team with zero employees

  • The real cost of automation and what clients often misunderstand

  • How he built tools for LinkedIn growth, blog creation, and deep research

  • The tech stack behind his daily content engine

  • If you’re interested in the intersection of AI, automation, and solopreneurship, this is one to queue up.
