Summary
I spent six months trying to build my own Amazon AI tool… only to realize the real shortcut was buying one. In this episode I share how my DIY ambitions hit a wall—meeting after meeting, development quotes piling up, and the crushing cost of training models—until I discovered Jarvio.io and realized sometimes you build it, and sometimes you buy it.
I walk you through the moment I saw Scott Needham’s LinkedIn post, booked a demo with co-founders Connor Mulholland and Jake Ryan, and immediately locked in a partnership.
Discover what this partnership means for Weavos clients: AI-driven account task management, instant listing fixes, automated reporting, and Slack integrations that deliver real-time updates on sales, inventory, and optimization suggestions. This is just the opening act—by 2028 AI will contribute over $1 trillion to a $7 trillion IT market, and we’re ready to help you lead the charge.
Whether you’re building from scratch or partnering with the pros, the goal is the same—smarter Amazon growth, faster.

| 0:00.0 | Spent about the last six months or so trying to build my own Amazon AI tool, only to realize |
| 0:05.1 | the real shortcut was just to buy one. |
| 0:07.8 | I'm very excited to announce in today's episode, our official partnership with Connor Moll |
| 0:21.1 | Holland, Jake Ryan, and the jarvio.io team. Because sometimes you build it and sometimes |
| 0:27.9 | you buy it. I was working on Wevos AI for the last few months, which some of you are aware of. |
| 0:34.3 | In fact, a lot of you were able to test it and try it out and even use |
| 0:38.6 | it for a little while. Fun fact, it does still exist. Wevos AI was a tool built through chat |
| 0:44.4 | GPT with agents trained specifically on my Amazon strategies and content. You could query the AI |
| 0:53.0 | just like you would on chat GPT, ask it specific questions |
| 0:56.4 | about how to start an Amazon business or questions about Amazon, and the chat GPT trained AI |
| 1:01.6 | agent would give an answer, but considering all of my content, meaning podcast episodes, |
| 1:07.2 | YouTube videos, course content. So in a sense, take the general consensus of what the |
| 1:12.9 | answer would be based on traditional chat GPT answers, but it definitely gave an emphasis |
| 1:17.8 | towards my thought process or my experience for that specific query. And the end goal was to actually |
| 1:24.5 | link WIVOS AI with the Amazon seller API so a user could ask the agent |
| 1:31.0 | questions about their own Amazon account. Like, you know, what are my sales today? Or, you know, |
| 1:36.9 | show me a certain report. What's the status of my shipment? Anything related to their Amazon account, |
| 1:42.3 | you could ask the AI agent specifically. In order to |
| 1:45.8 | build out a software tool like this, it would take a lot of developing hours and developer dollars. |
| 1:52.2 | In fact, I had multiple meetings with OAs and my WIVO's team about this. And I even got quotes |
| 1:59.0 | from developers and kind of sent out a little plan for what I had envisioned |
| 2:04.6 | for this type of tool. But I hit a big roadblock. The biggest roadblock being probably the cost |
