The AI-First Playbook: Building and Running a Business with AI
summary
Concrete specifics: built four companies in 12 months — MeetKite (Calendly alternative), DataMerch (contact-data product), Scope (nontechnical OpenClaw workspace) and a secret fourth; three are live and some customers pay. Development is AI-agent driven, run as a one-person team, using an API-first design and heavy AI-indexing. Timelines vary: MeetKite takes 12 months, DataMerch months, Scope launches in four weeks, and a MeetBot instance runs at about $20/month.
