The low-end estimate covers essential tools like a basic computer or smartphone, free or low-cost AI training platforms, and minimal marketing efforts using social media. The high-end estimate includes a more powerful computer, premium AI software subscriptions, professional marketing services, online courses for skill enhancement, and potential advertising costs. Hidden costs might include ongoing software subscriptions and unexpected equipment upgrades.
