By Emtaj Khan

Have an AI product idea but don't know where to start?

How to Build, Launch & Grow an AI Product in 30 Days is a practical founder's playbook that takes you from idea → validation → MVP → first users → launch → early growth.

Instead of spending months building something nobody wants, this book gives you a structured 30-day framework to test your idea, build the right MVP, find your first customers, launch intelligently, and create a foundation for growth.

WHY THIS BOOK IS DIFFERENT

Most AI business content tells you:

“Here are some AI tools.”

This book asks a different question:

“What are you actually building, who needs it, and how will you get your first customers?”

Technology is only one part of the equation.

A successful product also needs:

Problem + Customer + Product + Distribution + Feedback + Execution

That's what this playbook focuses on.
