I just finished building two different SaaS products that solve genuine, painful problems, but I’m completely stuck at zero users. I have zero background in traditional coding, so getting the products up and running was a massive mountain to climb, but now I’m realizing that building was the easy part. Distribution is kicking my teeth in.

I honestly don’t know where to start with marketing or how to land my first 10 users. Here are the details of what I’ve built:

1. AXCIS LEDGER

This is an AI-driven assistant that acts like a personal Chartered Accountant. It answers region-specific tax queries for 14+ countries, tracks expenses, and helps with basic ITR filing prep. The core feature is a Notice Analyzer users can upload a confusing, jargon-heavy letter from a tax authority, and the AI breaks it down into plain English instantly to stop them from panicking.

2. BlueCollar Bookie

This one targets local service providers like plumbers, HVAC techs, and contractors. It’s an automated AI receptionist built on WhatsApp and Twilio. When a solo contractor is stuck under a sink or driving and misses an incoming customer call, this tool instantly drops a human-like text back to the customer on WhatsApp to capture the lead and book the appointment before they move on to a competitor on Google.

I tried doing some basic validation and posting in niche subreddits, but the pushback against anything "AI" or market-research related is incredibly high. Tradespeople are tough to reach online, and people are naturally skeptical about AI handling financial data.

For those who have launched tools in either of these spaces:

How do you get past the noise and get the first few users to actually test the product?

Should I shift entirely to direct cold outreach (DMs/emails) instead of trying to post in communities?

Genuinely looking for some brutal feedback on what I am doing wrong with distribution.

Thanks. Have a great Day ahead!

I wanted to share my journey and a few lessons learned building AXCIS LEDGER, a Micro SaaS designed to act as an AI Chartered Accountant. It helps users with tax queries, tracks expenses, and features a built-in Notice Analyzer and ITR filing helper.

Currently, it supports 14+ countries out of the gate.

As a non-technical founder building in the highly regulated financial tech space, I had to learn a few hard truths about handling complex logic without a traditional coding background. Here are my top takeaways:

BUILD FOR THE "SCARE FACTOR".

first

When I started, I thought users just wanted a chatbot to ask basic tax questions. I was wrong. The real trigger for a user is panic—specifically, receiving an official, jargon-heavy tax notice in the mail. Building a feature where a user uploads a photo of their notice and gets a plain-English breakdown instantly solved a real pain point and drove our core engagement.

MANAGING LLM's

In tax, an LLM hallucination isn't just a funny bug; it's a legal liability. Since I don't write custom backend code from scratch, I had to obsess over strict system prompt guardrails, structural validation, and localized context-switching to ensure the AI strictly adheres to the selected country's tax frameworks.

THE FREEMIUM HOOK

To build trust in an AI tool handling sensitive data, you have to let people test the waters. We offer 10 free messages per month so users can stress-test the accuracy before ever seeing a paywall.

NEXT STEP

We’re currently optimizing the backend for faster response times and laying down the framework to expand from 14 to 50+ countries.

I’d love to connect with other solopreneurs here:

If you’re building AI tools in high-stakes niches (finance, legal, medical), how are you handling user trust?

If you want to check out the UI or test the features, let me know below and I’ll gladly send over the link!

THANKS , HAVE A GREAT ONE.

Hey SaaS founders,

​I’m the founder of AXCIS LEDGER, an AI-driven personal Chartered Accountant that handles tax queries, tracks expenses, and features a built-in Notice Analyzer and ITR filing helper.

​We currently support 14+ countries and have a premium model, but offer 10 free messages per month so anyone can experience it.

​Since this community is all about sharing the SaaS journey, I wanted to drop the two biggest lessons I've learned while building an AI in a highly regulated, high-stakes niche like finance:

​1. The "Notice Analyzer" was a game changer for UX:

​Initially, I thought people just wanted a chatbot to ask tax questions. But the real pain point? Receiving a terrifying, jargon-heavy letter from a tax authority. Building a tool where users can just upload a PDF/image and get a plain-English breakdown instantly spiked our user engagement.

​2. Guardrails > Pure LLM Logic:

​When you're building for 14+ countries, you can't just rely on standard LLM prompts; a single hallucination ruins user trust. We had to implement strict formatting guardrails and localized context switching to make sure the AI knows exactly which region's tax laws apply.

​What’s Next:

​We are expanding our assistance to 50+ countries and optimizing the backend for even faster, hyper-accurate response times.

​I’d Love Your Feedback:

​If you want to test it out, drop a comment saying "interested" and I will send over the link via chat. For the fellow founders here:

​How are you handling multi-country scaling or localization in your own SaaS?

​What's your go-to strategy for onboarding users to AI tools without overwhelming them?

Thanks.

I’m a "0-code founder." Three months ago, I didn't know how to deploy a database or handle complex APIs. But I had a massive itch to build, and after weeks of sleepless nights and wrestling with AI tools, I finally completely finished my project: AXCIS LEDGER.

what it does : a personal AI Chartered Accountant (CA) designed for freelancers and solopreneurs. It answers financial/tax doubts, helps figure out tax refunds, analyzes scary tax notices, and manages expenses. Because international taxes are a mess, I built it to support 14+countries..

now when i've published after fixing the bugs and all i stuck with distribution, thought it would be the easiest thing but i literally don't know how to get users to the app.

I'm not here to drop any link.

i just wanna know if you were at my place what would you do to get your first client ?

is there any specific community or subreddit where i should look for people having troubles with their tax and finance ?

I’m happy to DM the link to anyone who wants to try it out for free in exchange for honest feedback.

THANKS!
