I followed the herd and built a website because ChatGPT said I’d be a millionaire

So anyway, I did the totally original 2026 thing and built an AI SaaS.

ChatGPT assured me this was the shortest path to passive income, financial freedom, and probably a podcast interview where I say “we’re just solving our own problem.”

The product is called **Slop Swamp**

It basically scans AI-generated content, prompts, website copy, and code snippets for “AI slop” — you know, the usual:

“In today’s fast-paced digital landscape…”
“Unlock your potential…”
“Seamless, game-changing, revolutionary solutions…”
900 words that somehow say nothing
Cursor prompts like “make it nice and modern”
Code that technically works but looks like it was assembled during a caffeine emergency

You paste the mess in, it gives you a **Slop Score**, tells you what’s wrong, and helps clean it up.

Is this website itself AI slop?
Almost definitely.

Was it built by AI?
No comment

Was it also built by a human pretending to be in control of the AI?
Yes.

So the official positioning is basically:
**Built for humans, by AI, by a human, to remove the AI from AI.**

I’m still working on it, but the idea is to make something actually useful for people using ChatGPT/Cursor/Claude/v0 every day who keep ending up with copy, prompts, or code that feels… suspiciously mushy.

Would love feedback, roasts, feature ideas, or someone to tell me this is either genius or the most SaaS-brained thing imaginable.

Would free dev support help more people start useful small businesses?

I’m trying to understand something from people building early businesses.

A lot of useful ideas never get tested because the first technical version is too expensive or too slow to build.

I’m especially thinking about:

Communities.
Blogs.
Micro-networks.
SaaS.
Ecommerce.
Publishing systems.

The question is simple:

If the technical foundation was already handled, and the builder only had to verify the direction, talk to users, and run the business, would that make the idea easier to test?

The filter would not be hype or trend.

It would be value.

Does the idea help people create, organize, publish, coordinate, trade, or build something real?

Curious how founders here would think about that model.

Does anyone else feel like their CRM is just another thing to maintain instead of something that actually helps?

I’ve felt this a lot. A CRM is supposed to reduce mental load, but for many of us it becomes another admin task we avoid. The issue usually isn’t the concept of CRM — it’s how disconnected it feels from daily work. If you’re constantly switching between email, chat, task managers, and then manually logging updates into a CRM, it’s exhausting. I’ve found that systems that automatically preserve conversations and connect emails, tasks, and meetings reduce friction. Even for personal CRM use, the key is lowering input effort. If updating the system takes more than 30 seconds, it won’t stick. I’m curious — how do you reduce maintenance fatigue?
