My AI-built saas is finally live! Here’s about my AI-powered coding journey looked like: ~Started with 300 requests on for frontend + Supabase - Lovable got stuck few times, so took my code to cursor. ~741 fast requests on Cursor Pro for features + Stripe -2 months to build... show more

Great job! I personally really enjoyed following your journey. I know that this is somewhat of the starting line, but it's incredible that you were able to build something that just a couple of years ago would've cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and taken months to build. Amazing.

@lovable_dev @supabase @cursor_ai What’s your plan in terms in generating traffic since Lovable uses React and Vite so doesn’t render pages server side? Here is what Google sees when they crawl your page unfortunately. If Google can’t seen the content they won’t rank the website for anything apart from the brand

"I built a $250,000 SaaS in 4 months with AI and barely knew how to code." I'm starting to think that a coding ide like cursor/windsurf can become the everything app for creators this custom mode wrote a linkedin post that reads better than tools charging $50+ a month it can do it's own research using web searches or using the brave mcp with a free api key it's not hard to imagine that I could also hook this up to an mcp to create posts on linkedin and have my publishing schedule managed from a json file inside cursor yes, linkedin is cringe, but this is just the beginning of what will be possible soon i'm not gonna say that mcp is "wild" or "this changes everything" but it's quite exciting to see how this is going to be used

Cursor engineer lauren reveals the original inspiration for Grok Bot was her internal Slack bot called Benny that would automatically fix bug reports for Cursor while she slept: "I built this bot called Benny. I'm a fairly lazy person, and we were getting so many bug reports for Cursor, and I wanted to just fix them all." "I started thinking about how would I make it so my agents could just automatically fix bugs for me while I sleep? That was the inspiration for some of our earlier experiments with building a more persistent bot." "I got so many questions like how did you build Benny? How can I build my own? That inspired some of the thinking behind Grok Bot. What if everybody could define one of their own bots, give it an identity, and give it things like its own computer, plus routines and automations." "I have bots right now that every time someone gives us feedback on Grok Bot, my bots are automatically going off and fixing them for me, and I just review their code." Grok Bot Cursor

We live in the solo founder era. That's for sure and building with AI has accelerated. I am building software to use for myself and replace the expensive tools I used to use. And partially thanks to AI we can build faster, but not dramatically faster if you want to build a commercial grade product. Before I was using a live chat and customer support tool that costed around 50-100$ a month. This helped me to interact with the customers of my agency or prospects. But I decided a few months ago to build my own and stop paying for these more expensive solutions. I did and turned into a product for everyone to use. The build was not 1-2 hours of work using AI, but it was a several-month process on and off as I needed it. Finally, it has turned into a commercial grade product. I have built several of these and this is when we will see more and more solutions like these. Let's start bootstrapping before showing MRR figures.

483 days ago, I built my own web analytics out of frustration. I was using Plausible and loved its simplicity, but I felt stuck. Pageviews are nice, but they don’t tell you what makes money. So I built my dream tool: connect Stripe to traffic, and see where revenue actually comes from, so I can double down. Almost nobody cared. It took 120 days to reach $1k MRR. But I didn't mind. I was having fun. I shipped 117,869 lines of code to build features I needed myself. My only KPI was (and still is) features shipped. Slowly, word of mouth kicked in, and the SaaS started growing on its own. 16 months later: - $17K MRR - 983 paying customers - 1.2B pageviews tracked I wanted to quit many times. I’m competing with giants and VC-backed startups, in an overcrowded market, for a vitamin product. What changed everything was niching down: building ultra-specific features for my own problems and hoping others had the same ones. I don’t really do marketing. Most users come from word of mouth. But today is special. I never truly launched DataFast, so I made this video to finally do it. Hope you like it!

Stripe’s strategy is to “win all the startups and then win them again.” I had a great time talking with Will Gaybrick. Will has held a broad seat at Stripe for more than a decade, joining as CFO in 2015, and today leading Technology and Business. This makes him the right person to explain how Stripe went from a simple payments API to a platform with ~25-30 banner products and 288 launches at its most recent Sessions event. Here’s what their strategy looks like: -Companies like DoorDash and Instacart started on Stripe when they were tiny and pulled the company upmarket as they expanded. -The fastest startups act as canaries for new product opportunities. Cursor surfaced a burgeoning problem of AI free-trial and token abuse; so Stripe built a token detection pipeline with the team in a weekend, and the resulting network now helps companies on Stripe’s platform block thousands of fraudulent trials daily. -Stripe keeps expanding the number of needs it serves inside each company, from Billing, Radar, and Tax to Managed Payments, Treasury, and stablecoin infrastructure. There is a large and timely lesson from Stripe which I strongly agree with: using AI solely to reduce cost is essentially going short your own company. Instead, companies should be using AI (and the tailwinds it creates) to ship more, serve users better, and create their next product line. And as Stripe continues to invest in agentic commerce, the company can move from processing a transaction to orchestrating the entire economic loop around it. The line between tokens and dollars is already blurring, and Stripe’s next mandate is to make moving between them as seamless and safe as moving between dollars and euros. A fun conversation about what it takes to build the next Stripe inside Stripe. a16z

Write 100x better code using AI (for free!) Install the Codacy extension (VSCode, Cursor, WindSurf). This will install an MCP Server locally on your computer. Your coding copilot will use this server with the Codacy CLI to check every line of code it generates. The way this works is pretty awesome (assuming you are using Cursor): 1. You ask Cursor to generate some code 2. Cursor writes the code 3. Cursor then calls Codacy's MCP Server to check it 4. The MCP Server will use the Codacy CLI to find any issues 5. Cursor will fix the issues and call the MCP server again 6. When the code passes all checks, you are done Level of effort on your side: literally zero! Code quality and security because of this: 100x better! Codacy has been doing this for a long, long time, and their Guardrails MCP Server checks for a lot of potential issues: • Security issues • Quality standards • Pattern violations • Linting issues You can see more information about the extension here: I recorded a quick video to show you how it works. Thanks to the Codacy team for helping me set up everything, answering my 1,000 questions, and collaborating with me on this post.

I took Grok 4 for a spin this weekend to build this game prototype. I used SuperGrok Chat to generate the initial game prototype and then brought it over to Cursor to continue coding with Grok 4 MAX. Grok 4 in Cursor is like a no-nonsense agent. Doesn't speak much, but delivers the goods. There were moments where I was rate-limited or stuck on a bug or two that I had to get other models to help, but otherwise it's a fast, reliable model to work with. This makes me incredibly excited for Grok Code to launch in August!

I’m coding until 4 AM again. Not because I have to. But because AI tools made me fall in love with building again. After 15 years in management I thought my coding days were behind me. Then I discovered V0, Bolt, Cursor, Copilot, and Claude Code. Built 7 apps + a startup in 10 months All while keeping my full-time job The difference between 2005 and 2025? Then: 6 months to learn one framework Now: 6 hours to build a working app You didn’t miss the coding revolution. You’re arriving at the perfect time. The playing field just got leveled. 👉 If you’re coding (or thinking about it), I’d love to hear.

So I said screw it. Cranked up the AI tools. Built the MVP. Loaded in real slot machine strategies. Now it’s real. A slot strategy chat bot. Not perfect. But real. And it’s live. If you want to help, check it out. Share it. Use it. The support means everything.

I BUILT A CURSOR WRAPPER: USING CURSOR WITHOUT WRITING A SINGLE LINE OF CODE FULL VIDEO BELOW: I've been talking to hundreds of people who refuse to try cursor because of how scary the interface is. And fair enough. Terminal, Composer, Agent, Commands... It can be scary. This is why people are using other web based tools to create apps. Which is awesome! But after about 12 prompts, they seem to stop working effectively. Meanwhile, with Cursor you can create MASSIVE projects without coding perfectly fine, for days or weeks. So I got some ideas. I took it upon myself to build a new front end to Cursor, using Cursor without writing one line of code. 00:00 - INTRO 01:29 - LET'S START BY ASKING COMPOSER 15:01 - TESTING THE APP

We spent months building this so you don't have to figure it out alone. A free 7-day course that takes you from zero to building real things with AI, no coding background, no expensive tools, no fluff, just results. From 0 -> to Claude code expert, completely free: > In 7 days, you’ll learn vibe coding, set up Claude Code, build your first AI app, create a prompt-built website, automate a task with n8n, and deploy it live to a real URL. No theory, no filler, just a real project you can show people by the end of the week. For those who want to go further, we spent even longer building another one, designed for people who are genuinely interested in AI deep learning and launching products. From Expert to Your First $10k Product {You can find it on the link above as well} The complete masterclass, full-stack AI apps, Supabase, n8n automations, AI agents, Telegram bots, SaaS products built from scratch, Stripe, subscriptions, client work, freelancing, pricing and scaling. This is the course that turns the skill into actual income. Me and Noisy put everything we know into both of these, you can start free, build something real, then decide how far you want to take it.

SpaceX just agreed to buy Cursor for $60 billion. Everyone is talking about the product, the models, the valuation. I’m interested in the human side of this AI story. Who built the team behind one of the fastest-growing software companies in history, and how do they think about talent at the frontier of AI? For the first episode of my new podcast, Below the Surface, I sat down with Adam Ward, Cursor 's Head of Talent, to find out. Before Cursor, Adam helped scale Facebook through its IPO, ran global recruiting at Pinterest from 200 to 2000+ people, and built Growth by Design Talent, the advisory firm behind OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, Notion, and Figma … until Cursor acquired it last year. We talked about what hiring looks like when the market is moving this fast, how Cursor does it differently, and what it actually takes to build a high-performance team right now. One of my biggest takeaways: the companies that win in AI won’t just have better models. They’ll have better systems for finding, assessing, and enabling exceptional people.

✨ To inspire more people to go build something now that we have AI to help us (especially non-tech people, cause I still know so many who are scared of building something): I added a [ BUILD IT ] button to It's like a mini-Lovable/Replit/v0: Any idea you see you like, you can click [ BUILD IT ], and it will use Opus 4.6 to build a landing page for it And then you can download the code it generated It's not a full startup of course, but a nice preview of what it can be, to give you an idea and inspire you to build it out further The code is live streamed also so you can see it being built 😊 Ironically this itself took me 1 hour to build with AI too Completely free and I pay for the tokens (please don't abuse it :D)

If you are a SaaS founder, read this. I think I found the best way for you to use OpenClaw. You can literally turn your agent into Paul Graham telling you how to fix your SaaS. The insights I got from it are just insane. TLDR; 1. OpenClaw analyzes your Stripe 2. Tries your onboarding like your ICP 3. Gets Paul Graham's knowledge base 4. Gives you a full report to fix your SaaS 1 - Create a "read only" API on Stripe. Give it to your OpenClaw (or whatever agent you're using right now). Ask it to analyze the full data: - Pricing - Churn - Conversion - LTV - Trial to paid rate - Discount impact - Invoice patterns Ask it to really go deep. Not the surface level. Go into every corner. Check invoices, not only graphs. Look at cohort behavior month by month. Ask it to calculate your real MRR after discounts (not the vanity number Stripe shows you). When I did this, I found so many golden nuggets in my Stripe Data. And the feedbacks from my OpenClaw were already super valuable. But this is not enough. We need the whole context, not just Stripe. 2 - Ask your Agent to try your tool Give it a free coupon for your SaaS and ask it to sign up and follow the onboarding like your ICP (if you didn't yet, define it before you send it on your landing page). It will follow step by step, take screenshots, and tell you what's good, what's not and give you solutions. Ask it to push the feedback on Notion (so you can visualize it). This already will give you enough work for the next month. 3 - Turn your OpenClaw into YC Founder Paul Graham co-founded Y Combinator and invested in Stripe, Airbnb, Dropbox, Reddit. He's written 230 essays on startups over 20 years. It's basically the bible of building companies. Send this link to your OpenClaw and ask it to find anything that could apply to your SaaS and current problems you're facing: paulgraham[.]com/articles.html Your agent will read all of them and pull out what's relevant to YOUR situation. 4 - The cherry on the cake Now ask it to combine all the data it gathered so far: - Stripe analysis - Onboarding feedback - Paul Graham knowledge base And tell it to give you a full analysis and solution for your SaaS and push it to Notion. This is where it gets insane. I got a 9 section report with specific fixes ranked by impact. Not just "improve your onboarding". This took me one afternoon. Imagine how much it would have cost me to get these kind of feedback a few years ago?

Here’s the truth: I didn’t know how to code when I started Goodspeed I didn’t even have a technical co-founder. But I had ideas I wanted to launch. I wanted to make older adults entrepreneurs - because they have knowledge, skills, and value that often go untapped. Then I found Bubble. That moment shifted everything. 4 years on - I run Goodspeed - an AI-powered agency. We’ve built a SaaS tool for magicians. We’ve built a marketplace for care homes. We’ve helped enterprises launch internal tools. If you have an idea, you can bring it to life. The tools exist. I'm Harish - CEO of Goodspeed, an AI-powered software agency that builds with Bubble We help teams go from idea → product → scale, faster than ever. Want to build with us? Send me a DM.
