About

I Made Money With AI is a database of real AI businesses where every revenue number carries an evidence label.

Who runs it

Cydel Giraudel (Austin, Texas) is the founder and editor. He co-runs Bambana, a home-decor brand moving from Amazon to its own Shopify store, so he's an operator, not just an observer. Research and drafting are AI-assisted; every published number is checked against its source before it goes live.

What we publish

50 case studies, 46 with revenue verified directly from a payment processor (Stripe, RevenueCat, Superwall) via TrustMRR. The rest are company-published or self-reported, and labelled that way. We never make up a number; unknowns stay blank. See the methodology.

Disclosures

  • Bambana belongs to our founder and is labelled as such.
  • Some case pages may include affiliate links to the product being studied. Each one is labelled "affiliate link" next to the link. Commissions never change evidence labels, verdicts or rankings.
  • We sell a $9/mo Pro tier and done-for-you services. Featured businesses don't pay to be included, and sponsors never influence labels.
