CAD Drawing Service
The story
Starting from scratch, the author experimented with Codex for CAD to test whether AI-assisted drawing services could attract paid work. After two posts on Xiaohongshu, they won a first order and reported earning 10 yuan.
The next target was 1,000 yuan. Drawing details, production time and tool costs were undisclosed.
