The creator announces a shift in their channel’s focus for 2026, moving from general AI discussions to documenting their journey building AI-powered micro businesses, sharing practical strategies, financial details, and real-world results. They also introduce a new tool for tracking trending content and plan to offer more in-depth tutorials, aiming to help viewers leverage AI for entrepreneurship.
The creator begins the video by wishing viewers a happy new year and reflecting on their three years of running the channel. They express gratitude for the journey so far but announce a shift in focus for 2026. Instead of just discussing AI developments, the creator plans to concentrate on applying everything they’ve learned to real-world projects, particularly by building micro businesses powered by AI. The goal is to demonstrate how AI can be used not just for experimentation, but for generating revenue, building connections, and making a tangible impact.
For the upcoming year, the main content will revolve around the creator’s personal journey using AI to create and grow small businesses. They will share their experiences, workflows, and strategies, including financial details like revenue and spreadsheets. While major AI releases and new models will still be covered, the emphasis will be on practical application and business-building. The creator hopes this approach will provide valuable insights for viewers interested in leveraging AI for entrepreneurial purposes.
To illustrate that these methods work, the creator shares recent examples of their own projects. They highlight a new YouTube channel started in late December, which quickly gained over 100,000 views and more than 120 subscribers with just two uploads. Similarly, on TikTok, their content achieved over half a million views, tens of thousands of likes, and thousands of shares, demonstrating the continued effectiveness of these strategies for audience growth and engagement.
The creator also introduces a new tool they’ve been developing, designed to help users identify trending content on platforms like YouTube Shorts and TikTok. This tool will allow users to see what’s popular in real time, making it easier to create relevant and high-performing content. The creator plans to launch this tool in 2026 and believes it has strong revenue potential. They also mention ongoing work on their AI videocourse.com platform and their use of advanced AI tools like Opus 4.5 and Cloud Code to manage multiple projects efficiently.
Looking ahead, the creator outlines plans for more detailed, longer-form weekly videos that document their progress, challenges, and successes in building AI-powered micro businesses. They acknowledge that some content may be too in-depth for YouTube and are considering launching a Patreon for more detailed tutorials and behind-the-scenes insights. The creator is committed to delivering value and helping viewers learn from their experiences, inviting feedback and support as they embark on this new direction for the channel in 2026.
