SiteGPT (Bhanu Teja Pachipulusu)
SiteGPT lets businesses create AI chatbots trained on their own website content. Founder Bhanu Teja Pachipulusu says it reached $10,000 in monthly recurring revenue within a month of launch.
TypingMind (Tony Dinh)
Tony Dinh built TypingMind, an alternative chat interface for AI models, over a weekend for his own use after OpenAI released the ChatGPT API. Within three months it had more than 4,000 paying users and was #1 Product of the Day on Product Hunt. He raised the price from $9 to $79 as he shipped updates.
Buildpad (Felix Heikka and his brother)
Buildpad started as a way to give AI memory across the product-building process. The basic version took about 30 days. The founders report reaching $1,000 MRR 54 days after launch, $2,000 MRR after 98 days, and $2,700 MRR with 5,000 users after about six months.
My AskAI (Mike Heap)
Mike Heap and his co-founder Alex tried several GPT-3 products before My AskAI. They took $5,000 in pre-sales (50 at $99) from a landing page, built the first version on Bubble in two weeks for about $50 in software, and reached about $7,000 MRR within two months.
Talknotes (Nicolas Jeanne)
Nicolas Jeanne learned to code in 2022, shipped 17 apps in a year and sold one for $65,000. Talknotes cost him under $10 to build, mainly OpenAI API calls, and reached about $5,000 a month with 5,000 users.
AutoMemes.ai (Max Ibarra)
Max Ibarra was making memes by hand for Fiverr clients. He learned to build AutoMemes.ai using ChatGPT as his guide, offered it to those clients, and reached about $2,000 a month.
ResumeUp.AI (Hareesh)
Hareesh built ResumeUp.AI after playing with GPT and seeing how AI could fix resumes. It became Product of the Day on Product Hunt and got its first sale within three days.
AI Carousels and Resume Maker Online (Fernando Pessagno)
Fernando ran an agency for over a decade, went back to a 9 to 5, and then was unexpectedly fired. He went all in on his own products: Resume Maker Online, an easy resume builder, and AI Carousels, which helps people make social media carousels without design skills. A year later he says he makes a good living working about four hours a day.
Shipper (David and Daniel)
David and his brother Daniel describe themselves as non-technical founders who have been building software since 2019, funded by an earlier luxury goods authentication service. In summer 2025 they watched AI app builders take off and decided that winning even 1% of that market would change their lives. They built Shipper, an AI app builder where you describe what you want and it returns a full app, and told Starter Story it passed $50K a month in gross volume with about 690 paying users and no free plan.
