@uglyrobot 1/3 should be a fine margin, no? 33% COGS?

My weird fear building DocsBot, and probably for AI SaaS in general: We can afford generous AI credits because most customers don’t max them out. But when they do, token costs can eat roughly 1/3 of the plan revenue. The math works on averages. Yet every AI SaaS company is trying to make its product so useful that customers use everything they paid for. What if the product gets so good it breaks the pricing model?

@KatieKeithBarn2 @insta_wp @TasteWp You can give them an option to stage in your company account via instawp. This way they don't pay and you get full access to staging.

WordPress plugin people: What’s do you advise customers who need a staging site for troubleshooting but their host doesn’t offer one? We used to recommend @insta_wp but they now require a card and have 48-hr expiry, @TasteWp is also 48-hr and can’t clone in one click, and Local by @HeyFlywheel is fiddly and means installing software. Is there still a free, easy option?

Or just use instapods.com

Last week WordPress shipped an emergency fix for a nasty pre-auth RCE (wp2shell, CVE-2026-63030). An exploit was live within a day. At InstaWP, we shipped fleet-wide protection already. Releasing a tool to scan / fix github.com/InstaWP/wp2she… Full write up in first comment.

Last week was Koko Analytics Pro's best week yet. Today beat it. More licenses sold today than in the entire previous week. Months of small improvements are finally compounding. On track for 4x revenue this year. 🙂

@dannyvankooten Finally, it's good to hear some good news about WordPress plugin sales Congrats and well done

Wanna see how can you use AI agents to design, write content and build functionality. Tomorrow, I will be at Admin Bar with @kylevandeusen to talk about why don't have to leave WordPress to use AI. WordPress + AI = <3. Register at theadminbar.com/events/you-don…

We've barely scratched what AI can do for WordPress. Writing blogs and building plugins was the easy part. The real power is running the sites. On July 16, @vikasprogrammer and @kylevandeusen go live and let AI loose on real WordPress sites. Come watch what it can actually do. Free to join. Register here: theadminbar.com/events/you-don…

Vercel is getting way too expensive for me atp. Any good alternatives for hosting my Nextjs app without compatibility issues?

@gouthamciti adding more - Kathe - Speciality Coffee - Marseli

made a list of work-friendly cafes in HSR now for public goooood!

yall im ngl its way harder to get joy and satisfaction out of building with ai than it was before constantly straddling burn out, being far less immersed in hard problems, constant context switching i’m tired of the uncertainty of where this is going and how to do it well

The way you build with WordPress is changing. We built InstaMCP so you're ahead of it. Our Claude for WordPress. Flip one toggle and every site in your account is connected to AI. Then you just ask: build a page, fix an error, update WooCommerce. Try it now : app.instawp.io

Proud about this banger from the marketing team!
