The sun was free. They sold you SPF 50 and a vitamin D deficiency. Sleep was free. They sold you an app, a pill, and a wearable that tells you your sleep was bad. Walking was free. They sold you a treadmill, a fitness tracker, and a £180 pair of trainers. Fasting was free. They sold you meal replacement shakes and the anxiety that skipping breakfast would wreck your metabolism. Cold water was free. They sold you a £3,000 plunge barrel and a podcast episode about it. Silence was free. They sold you a meditation app with a premium tier. Animal fat was cheap. They sold you seed oils, then supplements to replace what the animal fat contained. Tallow was cheap. They sold you a seventeen-step skincare routine and a clinical trial proving your face needs ceramides. Meat was cheap. They are currently selling you the idea that you shouldn't eat it. The 20th century removed access to everything the body needs to function. The 21st century is selling it back, one subscription at a time. Your great-grandmother had none of the products. She had all of the things.

@tommyswriting This looks sick, but I know you miss BA.

Continued! This ring is going places.

Building the creative engine for the jewelry industry: RingBuilder.ai. The way people buy engagement rings is going to change forever.

Sales outreach was my biggest bottle-neck, and I didn't want to pay for a general tool like Apollo. So I built a sales outreach tool with built-in sequences, AI-generated sales outreach, and a gmail connector. Took about an hour and cost be $6 in tokens. Mindblown daily.

It's very realistic for a solopreneur to hit $10k, $20k, $30k+ in MRR by just building for SMB. We're going to see a proliferation of apps for SMB that were previously inaccessible to them. Every company will be tech-enabled.

Before, the cost of building software was too great and the investment only worked if you were selling enterprise contracts. Today, a solopreneur can build a fully functional application for specific use-cases. Given the low capital required, SMB becomes a realistic market.

We're entering the golden age for SMB in SaaS. Any company worth their salt is going to be able to build an internal tool and avoid the minimum $50k+ price tag for a SaaS product. But a SMB company probably can't build it themselves. The economics actually work for SMB now...

Cooking with gas on RingBuilder.ai. Bringing customers' ideas to life and turning it into real revenue for our jewelry brand.

6. I'll preview test the feature in the side branches. Will usually go back and forth a bit to refine certain aspects. When acceptable, I'll merge it to the main branch! I'll try and share more about my workflows building RingBuilder.ai. Follow for more!

4. I first run Replit in plan mode, to fact-check the PRD, apply it to the context it has on my product, and start to build out the plan. This can happen simultaneously across multiple agents. 5. If all looks good, I'll flip Replit to build mode and go get a drink.

My current workflow using Claude + Replit to build RingBuilder.ai: 1. Every release, I ask Replit to update an MD file for the full project context and deeper-dive MD files for more intricate aspects of the product (prompt engineering guide etc). 2. I then...

I’m building the first AI-native jewelry company in the world.

Starting to become a poster child for replit. Not sure if it's a good thing or if I need to spend more time outdoors.

@albertmetzz @amasad Very true. It's also very tempting to keep building and building without getting real feedback from the field. I'm trying my best to balance new builds vs sales. Marketing and distribution are the bottleneck now that software development costs are effectively $0.

@amasad velocity is real but i've watched founders ship 10 features in a week with AI tools and still have zero users. the bottleneck moved from building to knowing what to build

If you’re building with Replit you have an unfair advantage given the velocity gain with parallel agents. I’d feel bad for anyone competing against you.

FuN dAy ToDaY 🤪 - new @Replit Agent 4 unlocking insane velocity

@nickco @Replit You guys cooked on this one. shipped like a dozen new features for my business today.

love @replit agent 4 in honor, 4 active tasks all in parallel

Jewelers on our platform sold an average of 2 rings this week alone. That's an average of $12k additional revenue to their businesses. If you want to see how RingBuilder.ai can transform your jewelry business, just message me!

not really sure what this one is tbh but thought it was cool. So did the customer as they requested a quote from their designer.

Over 300+ people across our customers have designed rings using RingBuilder.ai over the last month, here are a few of my favorites:
