<p>I started this project as a side hustle in my first year of college. I did the homework of and tutored my friends. They then referred their friends, and their friends referred more friends.</p><p>I just graduated, and so far, we’ve brought in $150k in gross revenues, accomplished 6,000+ assignments with a B+ grade, and our annual revenue is at $40k growing 2x YoY. Gross profit margins at this service are at 50%.</p><p>On the side, we built AI part - an AI answer engine for SEAn college students. We added college-specific features like intext citations for every answer and a ‘humanize’ button to beat anti-AI detectors. In 4 months, it grew to 600 MAUs. We are now in the process of training it with our proprietary data (about 30,000 pages worth of lesson plans, notes, syllabi, etc.) taken from the top 4 universities of the Philippines. By September, we will monetize this through a freemium version.&nbsp;</p><p>I bootstrapped this product, and have constantly been reinvesting net income to grow the business. We now have a strong team of 10 people and 300 on-demand subject experts.&nbsp;</p><br/> ✅ $40,000 in Annual Revenue ✅ 300 customers ✅ Business model: Commission ✅ Built with Ruby on Rails, ChatGPT, Python
