Maybe I should read more of your content first, but I’m curious when people say “AI is working for me while I’m sleeping,” what does that mean exactly? Is that just hype or do people have it on some sort of schedule? Is it hype or real?

Kate's take, in a sentence or two

Kate says the "money while you sleep" idea is mostly true because of automated systems—like her evergreen email funnels, tripwire funnels, and recurring memberships/payment plans—which genuinely generate revenue on days she doesn't work, as shown by her highest earning day being one she took completely off. However, she says AI itself isn't autonomously running her whole business; instead it mainly collapses the time tasks take or handles specific "grunt work" (like overnight morning briefings, newsletter prep, or school post scheduling) while she still applies a human first-and-last touch, though a few things—like her overnight video transcription project—truly run on their own with no involvement from her.
