Launching an AI product solo is brutal. The pre-launch phase is even worse. Email lists go cold, hunters ghost you, and every "growth hack" article tells you the same 5 things that don't actually work.
I'm currently building AI Hive and launched about a month ago, which an enterprise AI agent platform that helps teams take AI projects from pilot to production without needing a full AI team. We're prepping for a relaunch with new features (multi-agent orchestration, on-prem deployment, governance built-in). Trying to learn from other founders going through the same chaos.
SaaS subscriptions are getting out of hand. Why should a developer or small business pay $99/month for an SEO/website audit tool when they only need to run a report once or twice? They shouldn't. So I built an alternative. It s called ConvertIQ. It gives you a deep performance, speed, and technical SEO audit report for your website. No monthly subscriptions. No free tiers to trap you. Just $5 per audit credit. You pay for what you use, download your professional report, and leave. Just launched it tonight. Check it out: [https://convert-iq-blue.vercel.a...
While building Gueaux.com I kept hearing the same thing from users: I don t want to get in front of a camera. Some people are uncomfortable being recorded. Others know their story but freeze once the camera starts rolling. So I built GueauxStudio.com Instead of recording alone, users have a FaceTime-style conversation with an AI host that guides them through their story, idea, experience, or topic through personalized questions. After the conversation, GueauxStudio extracts key points, generates a summary and title, and creates polished content from what was discussed. It started as a way to help people tell fundraising stories, but I m discovering applications in content creation, memory preservation, founder stories, testimonials, education, and more. I m curious: What would you use something like this for?
#69 out of 1300+ launched the same day, which happened to be a Vercel Ventures sponsored day. Traffic was the best detectly's had so far, 100+ unique visits in 24 hours.
Honestly the conversations were the highlight. Had some genuinely good back and forth with other founders and a couple of people who really know fleet safety and insurance, asking sharp questions about driver coaching and the reactive vs proactive gap. That's shaping the roadmap more than any ranking will.
If you upvoted, commented, or just had a look, I appreciate it. Still time to check it out if you haven't.
Also follow the LinkedIn page if you want the regular updates on how this is going, that's where most of the build in public stuff lives.
