@oadeals Which AI tool did you use for this?

I let my OA buddy SaaS stall for over a year. No updates. No marketing. Just a product running on autopilot while I figured out what was next. Then I started rebuilding it with AI. No developer. No coding background. Here's what just shipped 👇

This is just the start. Years of user-requested features that were too hard or too expensive to build before are getting built now. We've also built out a sick backend for analyzing crowdsourced notes and I will share that soon. x.com/oa_buddy/statu…
