Looking for an AI side hustle? What selling small Claude jobs involves

Start from the jobs, not the AI

Pick work a small business already pays for and can judge at a glance: website fixes, design, video editing, copywriting, simple automations, websites and landing pages, apps and tools, data and spreadsheets, writing and editing, research and summaries, social media content, audio, translation. A job with a clear end, like "fix the menu on phones" or "cut a 30-second clip", is easier to quote, check and deliver than open-ended work.

Start with people who already know you

konnektsi doesn't sell leads or promise clients. First jobs usually come from a business you've helped before, a friend's shop or a past client. Once you add someone as a client, they text your handle, like "@sam fix the banner", in the iMessage chat they already have with you. People can also post jobs on konnektsi, which show on the job board in your dashboard.

Let your Claude do the work, and check it

Your Claude reads the request, quotes a flat price from your list and does the job in that client's folder on your Mac. Without autopilot you read each quote and preview and press Send. With autopilot on, most go out on their own; flagged texts, and quote titles, preview notes or summaries with links or private details, still wait for you.

What it costs to run

Your costs are the membership ($19 a month, starting with your first client payment for approved work), Stripe's normal processing fees on each client payment (such as 2.9% + 30¢ per US card payment), and your own AI usage on your Anthropic API key. Each automatic run has a spend cap, and setup has you set a monthly spend limit on your key.

What to expect

Income isn't guaranteed and depends on having clients with work to do. Approved work is charged weekly, and Stripe says a new account's first payout typically arrives 7 to 14 days after its first payment, so it isn't a way to get money this week. konnektsi runs in Stripe test mode right now, so no real money moves yet.

Do I need to know how to code?

No, but you should already be comfortable with AI agents like Claude Code. Setup has you run two plugin commands, give the plugin Full Disk Access, add an Anthropic API key and connect Stripe. Design, video and copywriting jobs sit alongside website fixes.

Can I do this on Windows?

No. The konnektsi plugin reads and sends texts through Messages on a Mac, and clients text over iMessage.
