Take Upwork jobs, let AI do them (Astra etc). It's absurd.

Synopsis

Greg's solo pitch for AI-native one-person creative service firms. He frames three converging shifts (specialist creative models, Astra as orchestrator, Higgsfield's unified API for 50+ models) and demos 'Studio Operator', a MVP he built with six prompts that takes Upwork/Fiverr jobs ($100-$25,000) at claimed 60-95% gross margins versus the 10-15% a human agency nets. Three startup ideas get walked through: an Always-On Ad Studio, Franchise Localization, and Industrial Catalog Sales Assets.
