hey from tampa, solo bootstrapping my first AI product
hey everyone, matt here from tampa 👋
solo bootstrapping an AI product after spending most of my career nowhere near tech. 6 months ago i couldn't write a line of code. yesterday i shipped a live, paid product to swarmseller.com.
what i've been working on: a no-code marketplace where creators wire up multiple AIs on a visual canvas (claude, gpt-4o, grok, gemini, sonar pro), then sell the workflow. each agent does what it's best at, an orchestrator routes between them, and creators keep up to 75% of every sale.
stack: next.js + supabase + stripe + every major AI provider's API. shipped phase 1 + phase 2 (live web search via xai agent tools) so far.
launching on PH this tuesday may 5. would love to meet other solo builders, makers shipping AI tools, or anyone who's been through the PH launch before. happy to swap notes, give feedback on each other's work, or just nerd out about what's possible to build alone in 2026.
if you've shipped something this year i'd genuinely like to see it. drop a link 🐝

Super impressive Matt! From zero code to shipping a live AI marketplace in 6 months...that's huge.
I'm Rian, solo building The Sponge https://thesponge.app...an AI-powered flashcard app that turns webpages into spaced repetition study material via browser extension.
Got some PH launch experience (one was POTD). Launching soon...if you're up for it, would appreciate a follow (PRODUCT HUNT LAUNCH link in profile). Happy to swap notes!
Will check out swarmseller.com.
@rianbrob very cool Rian. It's been a while since college and i've done true studying like The Sponge would help with, but I feel like that is something that could absolutely be helpful. I'm sure there are some practical uses outside of education for that concept too. Followed! please check out my launch tomorrow. Us solo builders need to help each other out, because you quickly realize not many other people will.
