$39 / $79 / $199 / $499
AI agents for ANY business. Teachers, plumbers, agencies, physical products, local businesses, consultants, freelancers. Massive TAM.
$99 / $249 / $499
"Sam" is the AI intelligence that powers both. SamCart has Sam 1.0 (assistant). Sam.ai IS Sam fully realized — a team of AI agents. The bridge: "Sam got promoted."
April
"Eat our own cooking"
Justin: 1 week vacation + bug fixing. Goal: Brian + Justin using Sam.AI as their OpenClaw by end of April.
May
"First paying customer"
Fix bugs + add features. 1st paying customer by end of May. VIP Day (May/June): demo to VIPs, announce MEGA Launch date, ask them to promote.
Jun — Aug
"Controlled rollout"
Brian starts promoting Sam.AI. Possibly closed to public with private waitlist building. Selectively letting more groups of paid users in.
September (latest)
"MEGA LAUNCH"
Biggest possible launch. All top influencers promoting simultaneously. Could move earlier based on product readiness.
Priced as employees, not software. "Sam costs less than your worst freelancer and outperforms your best one."
🏆 Founders Pricing — First 500 Users
$79/mo locked for life. All agents. 2,000 actions. Creates urgency, rewards early adopters, and generates 500 power users producing data + case studies before unit economics matter.

| Combo | Monthly | What They Get | Cheaper Than |
|---|---|---|---|
| SamCart Builder + Sam.ai Solo | $138 | Full selling platform + 2 AI agents | Kajabi Basic ($149) — with 100x more AI |
| SamCart Pro + Sam.ai Solo | $178 | All selling features + AI team | Kajabi Growth ($199) |
| SamCart Business + Sam.ai Team | $448 | Everything + 6 agents + cross-sell | One mediocre freelancer ($500-2K) |
The killer advantage: SamCart's checkout data flows INTO Sam.ai's intelligence. When Sam.ai runs ads, it knows which products convert. When it suggests cross-sell partners, it uses real transaction data. The two products make each other smarter.
EMAIL 1 — THE HOOK
"Sam learned something interesting about your niche..."
Share a personalized insight from Sam's data. End with: "Sam is getting smarter. More on that soon."
EMAIL 2 — THE VISION
"What if Sam could do more than build pages?"
Describe the agent architecture without naming Sam.ai. Ads, social, email, partnerships — all handled by AI. Paint the picture.
EMAIL 3 — THE REVEAL
"Meet the full Sam team."
Reveal Sam.ai. Waitlist link. SamCart customers get priority. "Your SamCart account gives you first access."
EMAIL 4 — THE OBJECTION KILLER
"Sam.ai isn't replacing SamCart."
Address the fear directly. SamCart stays for your products and checkout. Sam.ai handles everything else. "SamCart is where you sell. Sam.ai is where Sam works."
Brian doesn't promote SamCart or Sam.ai directly. Brian shows HIMSELF using Sam. The audience draws their own conclusion.
LinkedIn / X
"I told Sam to plan my content calendar for the month. Here's what happened."
Instagram Story
"Sam found me a cross-sell partner I never would have found. We made $4K this week."
YouTube
"I haven't opened Framer, Mailchimp, or Canva in 3 weeks. Sam does it all."
The Sam Challenge
"Tell Sam your business idea. Sell your first product in 7 days." 100 creators do it simultaneously. Film everything.
CreatorU members are the most engaged, most trusting audience. Make them the first public Sam.ai cohort:
They become zero-cost Sam.ai evangelists. They talk about it in their circles. They create content. They recruit.
"We're giving you first look + 30-60 days to prepare. When MEGA Launch hits, everyone promotes simultaneously."
60-second business build. Sam creates page, writes copy, designs layout, sets up checkout. All from a text prompt. So visually dramatic that sharing it IS the marketing.
Personalized dashboard: "Sam increased your checkout conversion by 34%." Gets screenshotted and shared. Makes users flex on competitors' users.
"I left Kajabi and Sam doubled my revenue in 30 days." Find 10 stories. Film them. Run them everywhere for 6 months.
When Sam.ai finds you a cross-sell partner, BOTH sellers have a reason to recruit more sellers onto the platform. Built-in virality.
"Paste your Kajabi/Teachable URL and see what Sam would do differently." Spreads through every creator Facebook group and Slack community.
Monthly: "What Sam learned from 50,000 businesses." What niches are growing. What prices convert. The Bloomberg Terminal of the creator economy.
When anyone asks "which one should I use?"

The whole timeline depends on these milestones. Dogfooding → first customer → VIP Day → controlled rollout → MEGA LAUNCH (September latest).
