Are the study methods for exams changing?

Talked to a guy yesterday who runs a podcast where he interviews exam toppers. He said something that stuck with me.

When Gen-Z toppers started coming on his show, he noticed a pattern — a lot of them were using AI as a core part of their prep. Not for notes or summaries. Some of them were literally chatting with ChatGPT instead of watching YouTube educators.

His comment section didn’t like it. Older aspirants pushing back hard — “how can you study from AI?” But the toppers were clearing exams.

I prepped for competitive exams myself. If I’m honest, I would have wanted exactly this — something that could answer my specific doubt, as many times as I needed, the way I needed it explained, and that I could train to understand me.

What’s your take? Which AI do you use for prep — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude? And if you do use it, how exactly are you using it?

Founder, 1 year of experience of building ai software products, and need advise runway.

I came here to seek some tailored advice for my condition and goals. Here is the context first-

I've spent the last year building AI software for clients across the world. Products like - Rag applications, Web scrapers, Lead generation system with outbound email campaigns, etc. I vibe code with claude code and have used n8n before for building manual workflows.

I am a founder and currently building a product i already have one lead in the pipeline however i don't know when it will finally convert and land money in my empty wallet. So the traction is uncertain, and i need a reliable way to maintain my runway.

I have never used any freelancer platform before, so i have no experience here i know currently this is relatively easier than any other entrepreneurial path as

I only need $50 to $100 for a month (alright $50 is enough lol), and i have the necessary technical skills to build and proof of work, the goal is minimum effort because i already have a business that demands my presence all the time.

what should i do to get to that $50 a month? and please some actionable and tactical advice, would be appreciated.
Freelancing? (these platforms abstracts business functions like marketing and sales for you so can focus mainly on building and delivery, so i am originally thinking to go with this)
or some other platform?

TL:DR - i just need $50/month with minimum time commitment and effort, already got all the technical skills, experience and proof!
