Venkata

I'm a Senior Data Scientist building my first SaaS product in public. Here's what I'm building and why you should follow along:

@hida_artemis Congrats 🎉

it's finally happening, I got 2 sales in a day for super-recorder.com 😭 one of them comes from chatgpt and one from X 👀 the best thing is they are happy with my app and have a real use for it 🫶🫶 4 months ago I don't even know how to build an app this app was about recording a video with auto zoom and you should at least try it for free!!! thank you so much for all the support everyone has given all this time 🫶

@engagekit_io Haha appreciate that! Just getting started — a lot more cooking to come.

@VenkataBuilds bro is cooking

Free offer for marketers: Send me your Google Ads or Meta Ads data (CSV export) and I'll run a free analysis using auryd.io. I'll show you exactly which campaigns to pause, where to shift budget, and how much you're wasting. First 10 people who DM me get a free audit. No strings attached. auryd.io

@buildwithak Thanks Afaque! Genuinely want to help marketers see where their budget is going. DM me if you know anyone running ads who'd want a free audit!

@VenkataBuilds that is a massive value add ngl

You won't appreciate clean data until the market punishes your bad decisions. When I kept skipping proper UTM tracking early on, a mentor flagged it. Said he was pointing it out because sloppy attribution would cost me later. If he didn't care, he'd have said nothing. Didn't get it until I watched a client burn budget on a channel that looked profitable - but wasn't, because the data was never clean to begin with.

@RoyPaclio @Kishan_Devani_ thanks for the tip! privacy policy is definitely on the list before full launch

@VenkataBuilds @Kishan_Devani_ Congrats on the beta! AI ad tools handle serious data, so advertisers will want to see a Privacy Policy upfront. It builds trust and keeps you safe with app stores. pactlio.com generates custom docs in minutes so you can focus on scaling.

Good morning everyone! What are you building today? Share you work

@servantpeter001 that's literally what I'm building auryd.io for - automated alerts when metrics start slipping before you even notice

@VenkataBuilds Exactly

🚀 14 Days After Launch… • 217K Impressions • 1,350 Conversions • $130 Ad Spend • $0.10 Cost per Conversion Client has already closed 50 sales selling a $40 product. That’s: 💰 $2,000 in revenue From just $130 ad spend. Let's plan your next ad together Good morning X

@askOkara Add to the list: optimize ad spend with AI (auryd.io). Solo founders are running ads across Google, Meta, Shopify but nobody has time to analyze what's working. AI does it in seconds now. The solo founder stack in 2026 is insane.

in 2026, a solo founder can: - get traffic and users (okara ai cmo) - build ai apps (cursor, claude code) - run email campaigns (beehiv, kit) - grow an audience (x, tiktok, linkedin) - accept payments globally (stripe, paypal) - find and email leads at scale (apollo, clay) - track key metrics (google analytics, posthog) this is the biggest shift since the rise of the internet.

@AdityaShips Congrats on shipping your first Mac app! Day 1 energy is the best energy. Building auryd.io right now and I know exactly how exciting this stage feels. Rooting for you!

Announcing my next SaaS A MacOS screen recorder with auto zoom effects And this is the day 1 of me building my first ever mac app

auryd.io Day 3 update: Got my reply in front of 279K people on a post about AI + Google Ads. Joined 2 new marketing communities. Engaged with PPC pros. 27 followers. The grind is real but every conversation counts. Day 4 tomorrow.

auryd.io Day 3 update: Got my reply in front of 279K people on a post about AI + Google Ads. Joined Digital Marketing & Indie Makers communities. Engaged with Google Ads specialists, PPC pros, and SaaS founders. 27 followers. Still Day 3. The grind is real but every conversation is building something. See you on Day 4

'Most founders don't stay long enough.' That's the real truth. Day 3 of building auryd.io in public. 27 followers. Could easily quit. But posts like this are the reminder — consistency wins. Adding Reddit to my distribution plan this week. Which subreddits worked best for you?

"Reddit doesn't work for SaaS." You posted once. Got 0 views. Quit. I posted on Reddit 3 times a week for a month. Got 100,000 views. Brought my first paying customer. Reddit works. TikTok works. X works. SEO works. Most channels work. Most founders just don't stay long enough to find out.

This is exactly what's happening in marketing analytics too. Teams of analysts pulling data from 4 platforms, building reports for weeks. Now AI does it in seconds. That's why I'm building auryd.io — one tool replacing the entire ad analysis workflow. Solo builder, same vision.

Had a team of 45 across my companies. Marketing alone took weeks of coordination. Now I'm pushing a full launch solo in days. The system does what used to require a project manager, a copywriter, a designer, and a video editor. Combined.

Living Week 1 right now. Day 3 of posting auryd.io raw on X — an AI ad spend analyzer. Getting real conversations with marketers, not just likes. 27 followers but the feedback is already shaping the product. 'Distribution is the bottleneck' hits hard. Building is the easy part

If I lost everything tomorrow and had to start from $0 in 2026, here's what I'd do: WEEK 1: Don't build anything. Post the idea raw on Twitter. If 10+ people don't DM you asking for it, probably kill it. I've saved 6 months three times doing this. Goal: get to the thing people want. MONTH 1: Build the ugliest version that works. One feature. Get 5-10 people using it. If they don't come back twice, you don't have a product. Goal: Start user retention. MONTH 3: Go loud everywhere. Post daily. Share your $47 MRR. DM 10 people per day with a problem first pitch. This is when you are effectively 'in business'. Goal: $1,000 MRR. MONTH 4: Test marketing channels. Test SEO, ads, and affiliates simultaneously for 60 days. Pick the ONE winner. Kill the rest. Focus beats diversification. Goal: get the first $ from a new marketing channel. MONTH 6: Double down on what's working. Scale it ruthlessly. Don't add new channels. Don't optimise for features. Distribution first. One channel at a time. The truth is... AI made building easy. Distribution is the bottleneck now. HEY 👋 Want the full playbook with DM templates, outreach scripts, and the exact breakdown of each phase? Sharing everything in the newsletter tomorrow!

@nandwani_janhvi #2 Product of the Day is massive — congrats Janhvi! Building auryd.io right now and a Product Hunt launch is on my roadmap. Any tips on what made the biggest difference for your launch day? The prep, the community support, or something else?

We just hit #2 Product of the Day on Product Hunt 🎉 The support today was real and we felt every upvote. Means a lot.🫶💙 If you're building voice or chat AI agents and flying blind in production, give us a try 👇 cekura.ai

Hey Everyone! I am a Senior Data Scientist building my first SaaS — auryd.io, an AI-powered ad spend analyzer. Helps marketers find wasted budget across Google Ads, Meta & GA4. 3 days into building in public, 27 followers on X, $0 MRR. Here to learn from this community and share the journey. What's everyone working on?

Hey everyone! Senior Data Scientist here, just joined this community. I work with marketing data every day and I keep seeing the same problem — teams spending thousands on ads across Google, Meta, GA4 but can't connect the dots across platforms to know what's actually working. Excited to share data-driven insights here and learn from this community. What's the biggest analytics challenge you're facing right now?

Free offer for marketers: Send me your Google Ads or Meta Ads data (CSV export) and I'll run a free analysis using auryd.io. I'll show you exactly which campaigns to pause, where to shift budget, and how much you're wasting. First 10 people who DM me get a free audit. No strings attached. auryd.io

AI managing Google Ads workflows is the future. The manual loop of exporting CSVs, building pivot tables, and guessing what to pause is over. Building auryd.io for exactly this — analyzes your ad data and tells you what to pause, scale, or fix in seconds. Love seeing AI take over the grunt work.

if you're a performance marketer, here's how I use a custom Claude Cowork plugin to manage Google Ads at @AnthropicAI. it connects to the Google Ads API via MCP, encodes my common paid search workflows into skills, and works on desktop and Dispatch.

AI + Google Ads is where it's headed. The manual workflow of exporting data, building spreadsheets, and guessing what to pause is dying. Building auryd.io for exactly this — upload your ad data, get clear actions in seconds. Love seeing more AI tools in the ad space.
