Build AI Products Solo
The indie AI builder path. You find a problem, build an AI-powered solution, launch it, and let it grow. The barrier to entry has never been lower — one person with Claude Code or GPT-4 can build what used to take a team of 10.
$100K+/mo MRR — one person, no team, no investors
What this path is
You build and launch your own AI-powered software product as a solo founder. No investors, no co-founders, no team of engineers. The AI tools available today let one person design, code, deploy, and market a product that generates real recurring revenue. You own 100% of the business and 100% of the upside.
Real people, real income
