Podbit · The Hidden Third

The technological leap Wallo experienced when he first accessed the internet was seismic. Going from a pager and a landline to a handheld computer connected to all human knowledge — in a prison cell — was overwhelming in the best possible way. He created his Instagram account immediately, went deep into YouTube research, and kept adding to his Book of Life. When guards confiscated his devices, they sent him to the hole and transferred him to a different prison. He spent the whole time thinking about getting another phone. The information was everything. By the time Wallo was released, he had built a substantial Instagram following — evidence that his message resonated even before he had full freedom to live it.
In 2013, Wallo smuggled in an iPod Touch paired with a Clear wireless hotspot and immediately created his Instagram account, posting content while still incarcerated.
With AI coding tools like Cursor, Bhanu replicates an existing free tool for a new keyword in under 5 minutes. What used to be a multi-day build is now a lunch-break task.
Ahrefs, SiteGPT, Cal.com, PostHog, Datafast, Sibyl AI, Bento, Feather, Featurepace, Mintlify, Cloud Code, ChartMogul — Bhanu runs his entire business solo with these 12 tools.
PropGPT runs on React Native with TypeScript and Python for ML, Neon for the database, RevenueCat and Superwall for monetization. LLM costs are $20/month, data APIs $100/month, and after $10K in monthly marketing spend, margins sit at roughly 50%.

Inside SEO Bot, a single button labelled 'Boost My Domain Rating' routes users directly to Listing Bot. That one interaction converts a user of one tool into a user of two — without any marketing cost.
Directory listings are a powerful but underrated growth channel — but only if your product is genuinely interesting enough to earn the click. AI products have a natural advantage here because they're easy to package in a compelling, clickable way.
The fastest path to Twitter growth isn't volume — it's forming sharp opinions about how the platform works and sharing them immediately. People cluster around those who understand the rules and say so out loud.
Sam had no coding knowledge, so he used ChatGPT voice mode to generate his entire codebase and copy-pasted it into Notepad. A friend later introduced him to Cursor, and he never looked back.
