My guest today took a completely different path. After Savannah Gilbo's best launch ever brought in almost 200 new students, her live coaching calls were running 30 minutes over. Her membership deliverables doubled. She was burning out fast. Instead of building a team, we built her an AI clone together. In this episode, Savannah and I walk through exactly what broke after her biggest launch, the options she considered (and why hiring more people felt worse, not better), the triage framework that made her AI clone actually coach like her instead of giving generic AI answers, and what her students are saying now that they're using it. If you've been curious about AI clones for your business but worried about whether it would actually work for your niche, sound like you, or feel right for your audience, this episode is for you. What we cover: The breaking point that made Savannah look for a solution Why she ruled out hiring a community manager or student ambassadors The fear that almost stopped her from building an AI clone in her niche The triage framework that transformed how her AI handles student questions What 10-15 beta testers in her membership did with the clone (one had a 400-message conversation) How students are now using the clone before office hours (and why this changed everything) What this freed up for Savannah, mentally and emotionally Her advice for creators on the fence Connect with Savannah Gilbo: Website: https://www.savannahgilbo.com/ This 30-Second Quiz Reveals Your Author Success Blueprint: https://www.savannahgilbo.com/quiz Connect with Destini: Website: destinicopp.com Creator's MBA Mastermind: mastermind.destinicopp.com Newsletter Profit Club: destinicopp.lpages.co/newsletter-profit-club-webinar
