Has anybody here made money setting up AI models to automate things for people? How did you get started?

I'm 22 with an econ degree I'm not sure I want to use for anything. The thing I'm thinking of is basically a form of consultancy, where you look at somebody's daily tasks, identify what could be automated, and wire up a pipeline accordingly.

This seems like something nobody is really trained to do because this has been possible to do reliably maybe for a year or two. And I think a well-calibrated intuition for what LLMs can and can't do is rare.

This seems to me meaningfully different from AI engineering, which is more about infrastructure and training models. It's more like practical integration of off-the-shelf models, plus judgment.
