Proof of Concept - Tears of Joy - 50 Years in the Making

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.
Hi everyone,
It started out as conversation with my AI Chief of Staff.
Then it evoked tears from me as I remembered a concept I came up with 50 years ago when my father suggested I come up with a million dollar idea.
I came up with a Solar Project, but had no clue what to do about it in my youth before internet or anything.
Later in life, I tried to share it with a few companies and I didn't care if they did everything and I got nothing. I just wanted to see it developed. No responses.
Then still in tears, I remembered that I had proposed it to AI last year so first I asked Claude and it had no memory.
I next ask ChatGPT and it REMEMBERED.
I pasted that info to my Chief of Staff and this is what has happened over the last 12 hours.
Going back and forth from my Chief of Staff and ChatGPT we have done the following.
We have confirmed that no such project exists as I have outlined it in the world.
We have initiated Trademark.
Waller Solar™ is named in honor of my father, Lester H. Waller Sr. — a man who taught me that real solutions come from real work, not theory.

I am ordering parts to build a mini prototype.
This week I will be filing the paperwork:
Provisional Patent Application (PPA)
Filed with the USPTO — gives you 12 months of "Patent Pending" status while you build and test the prototype.
This would NOT have happened in my lifetime if it were not for AI.
They created a 110 page Word Doc.
They created all the forms for filing.
They created the Prototype.

It will potentially lead to multiple Patents for this system.
I am dumbstruck and in tears.
Its perhaps the greatest business pending Success in my Lifetime.
There are ZERO reasons why this will not Succeed and we are moving fast to make it all a reality.
I'm exhausted and will sleep after I post this. I couldn't stop once we started and I thought of my father through it all.
Please, please start embracing AI and maximize your potential in Life and in Business.
