I've built 6 AI micro SaaS that make me 20k/month. Starting a small group to share exactly how I do it.

Hey everyone,

I currently run 6 micro SaaS that are actually live and generating a bit over $20,000 in recurring monthly revenue.

The wildest part? I barely wrote any code myself. I used AI to generate pretty much everything — from the database structure to the frontend.

It definitely wasn’t magic from day one. I spent a lot of hours stuck on buggy code before I finally figured out a system that actually works:

- Keep the idea minimalist (a real MVP, nothing fancy)

- Guide the AI step by step instead of asking for everything at once

- Launch fast to get real users and feedback

Lately I’ve seen way too many non-technical founders quit at the first AI bug. It’s a shame because the technical barrier has basically disappeared.

AND PLEASE, STOP BUILDING ALONE IN YOUR BEDROOM

I’m starting a community.

Full transparency:

I’ll probably charge for the full program later. It makes sense with the specific workflows and copy-paste examples I’ll be sharing. But right now the main goal is just to build together. Working alone is the fastest way to give up.

If you want to join and build or market your own AI SaaS with us,

drop a comment or send me a DM and I’ll send you the link.

Non-devs shipping with Lovable/Bolt/Cursor: how do you check a new feature works before customers get it?

I'm on a small team and trying to understand how others handle this. When the AI builds a feature for you, how do you check that it works before your customers see it?

And the last time you weren't sure about a change or feature or bug fix that broke or didn't work or you weren't sure about, how did you get it sorted out?

(not selling anything BTW, genuinely curious)

Has anyone actually built a successful product using Bolt?

Hi Redditors!

I wanted to ask if anyone here has actually built something entirely using Bolt and eventually had success with it?

I'm not a developer and don't have any experience creating programs or apps. But I've been working in Recruitment for years, and I recently started building a small project based on problems I've encountered in my field. The goal is to eventually create something that can actually help businesses, not just a personal project.

I'm curious about what happens after the initial build, though.

Has anyone started a business or SaaS using Bolt, but eventually reached a point where they needed to bring in a human developer to improve the code, architecture, performance, security, or just take the project further?

Basically, I'm wondering if Bolt can be a realistic starting point for someone like me who has the industry knowledge but doesn't have the technical background.

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience, whether it was a success or even if things didn't work out.

Thanks!
