AI is making it ridiculously easy to build software.
So I’ve been thinking about a different question:
If everyone can build, what actually makes a business worth owning?
That’s what @profectushldgs is exploring with The Investing Group.

How I increased my revenue by 150%:
I don’t iron
I don’t clean
I don’t cook
I don’t do laundry
I outsource the boring stuff and spend my time orchestrating AI to grow my revenue next month
My most valuable asset is my time

Some things are mandatory as an indie hacker:
8 hours of sleep
Coffee in the morning
Workout every day
Sunset after work
Build hard. Live well

I used to think going viral was mostly luck
Now we have models like Fable 5 that can analyze a viral video second by second.
Why did it work?
What was said?
When was it said?
How was it delivered?
Then give you a script to recreate the same pattern.
And if your version doesn’t go viral, give both videos back to the model.
It’ll show you the differences.
Because you probably didn’t recreate it as closely as you thought.
The words, delivery, pacing and timing all matter.
Virality still isn’t predictable.
But it’s becoming a lot less mysterious.

They meet in person in Chicago every other Monday to discuss investing, AI, business models and markets.
If you’re in Chicago, you can join them.
If not, they livestream it on YouTube and publish the meeting summaries.
Internet makes this pretty cool

I gave an AI a vague marketing brief and it came back with an actual brand direction
Positioning
Messaging
Creative ideas
this is getting dangerously close to the part of building an app where I usually spend hours staring at a blank page

your marketing department now fits in one room
80+ tools on standby. You just talk.

for 2-person teams and 200-person agencies
p.s. this entire video, the storyboard, and this tweet were built with Cuppa's MCP in Cursor

First month ever making $6k+
I’m SO proud of this one
What got me out of the $3k jail:
• Launched 3 new products
• Killed what wasn’t working
• Doubled down on what was
• Made a lot from X too
But the biggest difference?
I stopped trying to make everything work and focused on what actually was

what’s the point of copying the exact same app as everyone else?
what are you expecting?

I still do way too much repetitive research before reaching out to people
finding dive centers, checking data, jumping between tools, writing the first message...
this is the kind of work I’d happily hand over to an agent
the tool layer is getting interesting
