Cook with AI
Tweet · Jul 11, 2025
Steal this business idea:
Ok so hear me out…
This would start as a YouTube channel but if done right could be built into a product with a huge following
==THE CORE IDEA==
“Cook with AI” – Every episode starts with a prompt to ChatGPT and then the host cooks the result exactly as the AI generated it. NO tweaks.
PHASE 1: 0–1000 subs
You just have to prove the concept.
Quick shorts with stuff like “I asked ChatGPT to give me a recipe with ingredients I already have… here’s what it said.”
Make the food then post a CTA
“Want the full recipe? Comment ‘cookbook’ below.”
Step 2: Niche
Pick a niche like: “Whatever’s in the fridge” cooking. (Realistic, budget-friendly)
Or things like
- “$5 AI Meals”
- “I only cook what GPT tells me.”
- “Date Night with GPT”
PHASE 2: 1000–10K subs
NOW start making long form videos:
Subjects like :
“Rating AI-generated recipes for a week.”
“I let ChatGPT plan my meals for 7 days.”
START A NEWSLETTER:
Email lead magnet example: “Top 10 Weirdly Delicious AI Recipes”
PHASE 3: 10K+ subs

Lean into AI’s quirks and hallucinations.
Make it easy for the viewer to try themselves.
ALL you’ll need
