This is rooted in psychology.

When you show that there is enormous interest in something, a crowd of people will flock and want to see it.

I woke up this morning, and X was full of this message:

This post is actually inspired by a tweet from @sandradjajic + an update here on PH from @chrismessina.

A few days ago I saw this:

I know it isn't just me because I have a number of LCNC friends who, like me, won't even open Stripe before first opening ChatGPT or something similar to guide me through the maze that is Stripe.
Here's me, having just downloaded Claude Cowork, really doubtful that it is going to make any difference with the seven stuck projects I have in Stripe...

1. Global problem: Dating apps fail for complex lives (illness, relocation, unfulfilled youth). A platform is needed for matching based on life path compatibility.

2. Daily routine: after every client meeting, I need to write a structured report for colleagues. Existing corporate tools (Microsoft 365) are inefficient and slow for this.

3. A startup founder loses focus and productivity juggling 5-7 tools for a single project. Existing all-in-one platforms don't provide the feel of a unified workspace.

4. An African entrepreneur cannot accept international payments on Shopify. PayPal blocks, Stripe is unavailable. There is no payment gateway that does not discriminate based on geography.

5. Micro-influencer cannot monetize a loyal audience: there is no safe and effective platform for deals with small brands and those willing to work with small influencers in India.

With the advent of clawdbots, it's as if we've all lost our inhibitions and "put our lives completely in their hands."

I'm all for delegating work, but not giving them too much personal/sensitive stuff to handle.

1. A 3-year search for a simple tool to track both personal and business finances in one place. Nothing fits.

2. Website owners constantly need minor edits in the admin panel. They are forced to pay specialists for 5-minute tasks. We need an AI agent that does this on command in the browser.

3. An indie hacker spends 20-30 hours manually cold launching each new product in directories, Reddit, and blogs. There is no tool that fully automates this and proves its effectiveness.

4. A freelancer often loses in proposal competitions due to the inability to quickly create personalized and visual website concepts for each job order.

5. A Telegram channel owner is losing their audience without understanding the reasons for unsubscriptions. There is no simple tool for automatically collecting feedback from departed subscribers.

Hey everyone,

I've built my product around traditional SaaS pricing (monthly tiers), but I m starting to wonder if that model is getting outdated, especially with more AI-powered and compute-heavy tools entering the market.
That shift requires real architectural changes, instrumentation, metering, billing logic, and UI changes, not just pricing tweaks. It s something I m starting to seriously think about for my own product.

In particular, AI usage has real COGs (every prompt costs money), and I m seeing more platforms experimenting with usage-based models, or hybrids like SaaS base + usage + overage.

For those of you building AI or compute-intensive tools:

Since I haven't been able to meet my work goals very well in the last few quarters, I now plan to approach them more systematically and not push myself too hard on work goals, as that ultimately led to problems that made my plan less sustainable.

So here is my structure and list:
