Hey Product Hunt!
Plugin Factory is a marketplace of AI-powered plugins for Claude Cowork. Each one is an alternative to a specific SaaS workflow — legal docs, financial reports, ad copy, clinical notes, construction closeout, and more.
Install a plugin, run a command, drop your files. Everything runs locally.
The honest trade-off: Great for document-heavy workflows. Not a replacement for live integrations or real-time databases.
Today, I read a TechCrunch article about what investors are no longer looking for in SaaS, or rather, what to avoid if you don't want to lose their interest.
The red flags were:
Too easy to replicate light AI wrappers, generic horizontal tools, basic CRM clones, generic productivity or project management tools.
No real depth products where differentiation is mostly UI and automation, anything without proprietary data, surface-level analytics.
Becoming obsolete workflow automation tools that coordinate human work (agents are taking over), integrations as a moat (MCP is making connectors a commodity), and "workflow stickiness" products trying to keep humans inside their software.

Got me thinking: we launched Happycapy - the 1st agent-native computer here on Feb 11 (beta was Jan 27). Grateful @rajiv_ayyangar and the PH community witnessed it from the start.
I am a Computer Science student doing research into how solopreneurs and small startups create new apps and what their stack looks like. Particularly, I'm interested in how you handle things like authentication, billing, and permissions/authorization in your apps.
Let me know what you're working on below and how you're going about it -- I'd love to connect for some quick calls to learn about your product and talk about your process in building it!
