Two products I built and run

Both started as problems I kept hitting while growing a channel. VisiScan is available to try. TubeAnalytics is temporarily unavailable.

TubeAnalytics product screen

TubeAnalytics

YouTube analytics for creators.

See why growth slowed, where viewers drop off, which competitors are pulling ahead, and which topics deserve your next upload.

  • Real CPM and RPM for connected channels
  • 180+ registered creators

TubeAnalytics is temporarily unavailable.

VisiScan product screen

VisiScan

See whether AI recommends your business.

VisiScan asks AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity the questions your buyers ask, then shows who gets named, who gets recommended instead, and what to fix.

  • Free scan, no signup
  • Full report for $49, paid once
  • Weekly monitoring from $29 a month

Hi, I’m Mike

I’ve been shipping software since 2013, starting with iOS apps in Objective-C: a charity-giving app, a language tutor, and a client for OBD car devices. When AI tools got good enough to build real things with, I started testing them in public.

AI Automation Station publishes my practical AI builds. AI Income Lab is its paid learning community on Skool, with courses, templates, and help while you build. I also build and run TubeAnalytics and VisiScan.

My rule for every video: build something real, leave the mistakes in, and tell you plainly whether the tool is worth your time.

  1. 2013Shipped my first iOS apps in Objective-C
  2. 2014Rebuilt Tetris in Swift the year it came out
  3. 2016Built an iOS client for OBD car devices
  4. 2025Started AI Automation Station on YouTube
  5. NowBuilding TubeAnalytics and VisiScan, and hosting AI Income Lab

Questions people ask

What do I get in AI Income Lab that the videos don’t cover?

The videos show what a tool can do. AI Income Lab adds step-by-step courses, templates, and a community where you can ask questions while you build. VIP adds weekly coaching.

What does AI Income Lab cost?

Standard is $29 a month, Premium $49, and VIP $89. Annual billing is also available on Skool: $290, $490, or $890 a year, respectively. You can cancel before the next billing period from your Skool account.

What happens when I click Join?

Skool’s plan page opens in a new tab. You choose Standard, Premium, or VIP and monthly or yearly billing, then sign in or create a Skool account and pay on Skool. This site never sees your payment details.

How do course unlocks work?

On Standard, Beginner’s Automation Course unlocks at Skool level 2 and VAPI AI Voice Agent Course at level 4. Premium and VIP include immediate access to both, plus Complete AI Avatar Video Course. The Runable course is available to all members on every plan. VIP also includes Ultimate N8N Template Library with 6,400+ workflows.

What tools will I need, and can they cost extra?

It depends on the build. Automation hosting, AI API usage, and other software can cost extra. Each video lists what it uses, so check before you buy anything.

Do I need to code to follow your videos?

No. Many videos use no-code tools like n8n and Make.com. The Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode builds run in a terminal, and I show every setup step on screen.

How often do you post?

Most days. Subscribe on YouTube to see new uploads first. The latest videos on this page refresh once a day.

Is income guaranteed if I join?

No. The training shows you how to build useful AI systems. Results depend on your project, your experience, and the time you put in.
