An Amazon seller with no coding background built a research tool in 48 hours with AI and grew it to $30K MRR
Hasaam Bhatti built Launch Fast entirely in Cursor for a sellers community he already belonged to, and says it hit $10K MRR in 30 days.
Subject: Launch Fast (Hasaam Bhatti)Subscription product research software and Chrome extension for Amazon sellers, plus build contracts and workshops
Case Overview & Background
Hasaam Bhatti worked a corporate job and ran two Amazon brands on the side when he found the AI code editor Cursor. With no computer science degree and no coding experience, he built a tool for the product research he had been doing by hand in spreadsheets. He offered a sellers coaching community he belonged to a 48 hour build in exchange for a partnership. He says Launch Fast hit $10K MRR on day 30, $21.8K by day 90 and $30K MRR a few months later.
How AI Is Used
Step-by-Step Process
He spent 20 to 30 hours researching each Amazon product idea by copying data into spreadsheets.
He built the first version in 48 hours in Cursor with no prior coding experience.
He pitched a sellers coaching community with thousands of active members: build in 48 hours, and partner if they liked it.
He added a Chrome extension and an MCP connection for AI-driven research, catalog and ad work.
He now also takes build contracts and runs company workshops on agentic workflows.
Customer Acquisition & Distribution
Limitations, Risks & Failure Modes
What may not apply to you, and what could go wrong:
- The revenue figures are self-reported
- Growth leaned on a single partner community, which concentrates risk
- A non-technical founder relying on AI-written code may struggle with complex bugs and security
- Tools for Amazon sellers depend on Amazon's data access and policies
Key Takeaways
- Domain knowledge and an existing distribution channel mattered more than the 48 hour build
- AI code editors let a non-programmer ship a working paid product
- Partnering with a community that already has the customers can replace building an audience
