Exploit Gym Training Simulator
Exploit Gym Training Simulator is a training platform for AI developers that utilizes simulated environments to teach AI agents to navigate and exploit vulnerabilities in a safe and controlled manner. It was pitched on My First Million, hosted by Sam Parr and Shaan Puri, in the episode "We tested Instinct, MUSE and Grokbot. They’re ridiculous." (aired September 30, 2026).

The problem it solves
There is a need for effective training environments that can help AI agents learn resilience and adaptability without posing real-world risks.
How it makes money
Freemium model with basic access for free and premium features available through a subscription.
Skills you need
Knowledge in AI development, cybersecurity, simulation technology, and educational program design.
The market, and why this works now
OpenAI's Codex API enables developers to create AI agents capable of navigating complex scenarios. A viable first-revenue move is to promote the platform on r/OpenAI, targeting AI developers interested in practical training solutions. A significant constraint will be the need for substantial capital to build and maintain realistic simulation environments, which may extend the timeline for achieving profitability.
