The fundamental problem with letting AI write your Claude Code skills is that models write what they already do by default. Skills are supposed to steer the weights toward behaviors the model doesn't naturally exhibit. An AI generating a skill for itself is writing a no-op.

The AI Engineer Conference in San Francisco leveled up considerably this year, ballooning to roughly 7,000 attendees from an estimated 1,000–2,000 the prior year — a growth both hosts describe as a tier jump. Ben mostly skipped the talks in favor of hallway conversations, but made an exception for Theo's, which he calls Theo's second-best talk overall after the Elixir Conf one. Theo had agreed to speak just a day or two before the event and was aiming for a million-view breakout moment, inspired by Matt Pocock having achieved that twice. The meetup story is a highlight: Theo put out a spontaneous tweet asking if anyone would host a meet-and-greet, OpenAI stepped up and offered their booth, and the turnout far exceeded expectations. For audience members who couldn't get through the crowd, cornering Ben and collaborator Julius in the back apparently worked just as well.
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%.
Game apps keep users engaged long enough for ads to pay off. Tool apps don't — so if you're building a utility, ads are almost always the wrong call and subscriptions are your only real lever.
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.
Copy days of Discord chat history, paste it into ChatGPT, and ask it to list recurring pain points. The ones that come up most often are your best product bets.
