Building AI Agents? Me too. Let's set the bar. I'd be impressed if one could do Stripe integration

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...

How much do you trust AI agents?

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.

What if AI context didn’t reset every time?

If you use AI dev tools daily, you ve probably felt this:

You start a new session and immediately have to re-explain:

  • what the project is

  • what you already tried

  • why certain decisions exist

  • what not to repeat

Not because the AI is bad.
Because the workflow forgets.

⚡ 5 New Problems to Build a Startup | ProblemHunt

  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.

1000 Day Streak on Product Hunt

Today marks my 1 0 0 0 day streak in on product hunt - wow does time fly

The last 2.7 years have been insane From discovering awesome products (built by SF legends) to actually launching 2 products myself and winning 2x product of the month awards a golden kitty with @Clustr and now being nominated for an orbit award with @Trace feels unreal. Not only did my team go through the ups and downs, but we persevered and survived two top tier accelerators with @500 Startups & @Y Combinator - gotta catch them all

Do you still know how to build anything without AI? (Or are we outsourcing our “taste” too?)

I m noticing something weird happening in solo dev land.

We used to compete on:

  • remembering docs

  • knowing frameworks

  • being a better coder

Now it feels like the real edge is:

2026 and your goals. Let's try to set them for Q1.

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:
