Yesterday morning, I was preparing a landing page for a special price offer on my SaaS, the AI Jingle Maker. I thought it would be nice to add a short video greeting in the top right corner of the page, to bring a bit more human touch and explain the details of the offer.
At first, the plan was simple: grab my phone, record a quick video, add it to the app with a circle mask. It would not have taken too long.
But I had a bit of time, so I decided to turn that very specific need into a full SaaS.
It was 12:00, and I had planned to send the newsletter before 16:00. So I had 4 hours to build the product and insert the JS snippet into the head of my promo page to greet visitors.
I finished in time.
Then I spent 2 extra hours making the app multi-tenant, creating the landing page, buying a domain, submitting it to Paddle for approval, fine-tuning a few features, and sharing the product with a couple of friends.
Paddle approval was fast, so I did not even have to keep the billing placeholder I had prepared.
6 hours after the initial idea, the product was live and the first users started signing up!
Then I closed my laptop and headed to Soho for a cabaret show.
Just another day in my AI-assisted development journey.
