    Episode 199 : I Built an Amazon Tool With AI in 45 Min (No Coding)

    I built a fully working Chrome extension for Amazon sellers in under 45 minutes using Claude AI — and I have zero coding experience. Watch me go from idea to finished product completely live, no cuts. The extension is called Replen Scout. It overlays a profit calculator directly onto any Keepa product page, auto-pulls FBA fees (pick & pack, referral fee), calculates your net profit, margin, and ROI, and draws a live break-even line on the Keepa chart — shading everything above it green and below it red. No coding. No developer. Just AI and 45 minutes.

    Struggling to find profitable Amazon ungated products in 2026? In this video, I break down the exact system I’ve used for over 10 years to find ungated brands and turn one product into hundreds of sourcing opportunities.

Instead of chasing random leads, I’ll show you how to: Find brands you’re already ungated in Use Keepa to unlock 700+ related ASINs Reverse source competitors for hidden suppliers Use tools like Nepetto, ArbaSource, and Quickfinds correctly Build an evergreen sourcing system Scale beyond $5,000 per month This is the same process we teach inside Business Building Legends. It works whether you are just starting or scaling your Amazon FBA business. If you are tired of hearing that Amazon is saturated and want a real sourcing strategy, this is it.
