Реальный рабочий процесс

Solo founder's AI day: morning — Claude to think through one strategic question. Mid-morning — Cursor to ship product. Afternoon — ChatGPT to draft customer emails, Gamma to update an investor deck. Evening — Captions to repurpose a thought into LinkedIn content. Total AI spend: ~$100-200/mo. Replaces maybe two part-time hires.

Частые вопросы

  • Can I really build a product solo with AI?
    Yes — for many product categories. SaaS, marketing tools, internal apps, content sites — all are realistic for a technical solo founder with Cursor or Claude Code. Hardware, deep ML, multi-region infra still require teams.
  • What's the best AI tool for investor decks?
    Gamma for speed and visual coherence. Generate the deck from a prompt + your traction numbers, then edit. Investors increasingly assume AI-generated decks — the differentiator is your numbers, story, and judgment, not the slide aesthetics.
  • Should I disclose AI use to investors?
    For your AI-generated marketing assets — no, nobody cares. For your product's AI features — yes, and be honest about what's real today vs roadmap. Investors have heard a lot of vapor about AI; honesty stands out.
