I’ve built and launched numerous SaaS products (which have paying customers) which were almost entirely built usibg AI agents including https://securitybot.dev and https://dependencydesk.com.
My experience so far has been if you possess both deep domain-specific experience and significant coding experience then these coding LLMs, and most notably Opus 4.5, are the greatest productivity booster in the world.
Looks great! If you don't mind sharing, what is the revenue and profit?
Thanks for sharing. Are you getting customers by outreach, seo, ads or some other way?
It differs according to product. SecurityBot.dev has solid SEO because I put a lot of focused work into the landing pages. Interest in DependencyDesk has come exclusively through showing it directly to industry contacts.
The latter is partly what I was getting at regarding domain expertise because with that expertise comes an industry network. AI is great but if you’re creating solutions in search of a problem then the code doesn’t matter because nobody will need/want your product. I feel like your chances of success are much higher if you’ve personally felt the pain your product intends to solve, and that pain is built into the domain expertise people accrue over a long period of time.
