Bhanu's Full Tech Stack
At 13:48 · chapter starts 13:30
After the playbook walkthrough, Pat asks about Bhanu's tech stack and monthly costs. Bhanu rattles off a 12-tool setup: Ahrefs for SEO and keyword research, SiteGPT itself for customer support on his own site, Cal.com for scheduling customer calls, Datafast and PostHog for analytics, Sibyl AI for call recordings, Bento for email marketing, his old product Feather for blog writing, Featurepace for feature requests and bug tracking, Mintlify for documentation, Cloud Code for AI-assisted coding, and ChartMogul for subscription revenue analytics. It's a deliberately lean stack — no bloat, all utility — and the fact that one person runs all of this while maintaining $13K MRR is itself a testament to how far AI tooling has shifted the solo-founder ceiling.
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.
Don't spend months perfecting before launch. Ship the core feature, get real users, and let their feedback dictate the product roadmap. Premature polish is a trap.
