6 figure MRR. 90% profit margin. $0 marketing spend.

How? Building on ESTABLISHED platforms. Here's the playbook: https://t.co/LPCn0hlm1T

@starter_story viral revenue

The "10K Rule":

If you can organically build something to 10K subscribers, 10K email list, or $10K profit, then you are set for life.

Not for the audience or money specifically, but for the skills you develop on the way & the persistence required to get there.

Knowing you can do it gives you the confidence you can do anything in life.

STOP BUILDING PRODUCTS NO ONE IS SEARCHING FOR

This guy makes $4.5M/year selling B2B Shopify apps.

And built something people were already searching for.

  1. He picked the right keyword (“bundles”)
  2. Optimized for 5-star reviews
  3. And just built something ppl needed

Reddit is an insanely underrated channel - using it to validate many product ideas

yet 9/10 founders fail there. but we’re fixing that for you now 🎯

see, Reddit hates spam, and Redditors downvote and report anything that feels fake, promotional, or AI-written

most founders fail because they:

because in the next 24hrs i'll be dropping something i've been building for the past 6 months, probably a life changing opportunity for most

there will be limited spots tho, you don't want to miss it

@thepatwalls popular authority relevant fresh

Yes, clawdbot in its current form is probably a one week wonder.

But a new category has been created.

And many people / teams / the big players will take the ideas and run with them.

If I was starting from scratch, looking for somewhere to build, this feels like a promising new category.

@thepatwalls viral authority fresh

Clawdbot is all hype right now.

Buggy, too hard to set up, and no clear use cases yet.

You know what that means?

HUGE business opportunity.

@starter_story viral fresh

We are 26 days into '26.

Promise me you're avoiding Clawdbot and Ralph Wiggum tutorials like the plague.

And actually SHIPPING your thing into the hands of real users. https://t.co/EP53P1fDJn

I just whipped out my wallet.

And instantly paid for a Mac app called Willow Voice.

Somehow, they built 100x better dictation than Apple, a multi-trillion dollar company.

That's the beauty of building in AI. Massive companies like Apple too scared and too slow to fix things like Siri for years.

That's where we win.

Manual Processes 4/5 Significant manual component
Old Tech Stack 4/5 Established product, likely pre-AI
High Pricing 3/5 Standard pricing ($25/mo)
Low NPS 5/5 Widespread frustration (9 complaints found)

AI Angle: # AI Disruption Analysis: Salesforce Sales Cloud

Clone this because: Salesforce Sales Cloud faces significant disruption risk from AI-first competitors, but the threat is more nuanced than simple displacement—it's about who captures the autonomous agent market first and whether pure-play AI solutions can match Salesforce's data integration advantages. ## 1. Manual Processes Ripe for AI Automation

Confidence: Medium

2. Insightful — Score: 14/20

Revenue: ~$NaN/mo MRR
What they do: Workforce productivity monitoring tool for in-office, hybrid, and remote teams with analytics and performance reporting.[2][4]

AI Angle: # AI Disruption Analysis: Insightful's Vulnerability

Clone this because: Insightful faces moderate-to-high disruption risk from AI-first competitors that automate its manual interpretation layer and reduce implementation friction. The company's current value proposition relies heavily on human decision-making to validate AI outputs—a bottleneck that a purpose-built AI system could eliminate. ## 1. Manual Processes Ripe for Automation

Confidence: Medium

3. Wrike — Score: 14/20

Old Tech Stack 4/5 High revenue suggests mature product
High Pricing 2/5 Low pricing ($18/mo)
Low NPS 5/5 Widespread frustration (8 complaints found)

AI Angle: ActiveCampaign faces moderate disruption risk from AI, primarily from AI-first competitors emphasizing agentic orchestration, native content generation, and simplified interfaces, but its ongoing AI investments (e.g., AI agents, predictive sending) provide short-term defenses.[1][4]

Clone this because: ### 1. Manual Processes AI Could Automate AI can target ActiveCampaign's remaining human-dependent workflows, building on its existing automations like predictive send times and behavioral triggers:
