Build a tiny AI-wrapper SaaS
A focused tool that solves one specific problem with AI under the hood.
Who this path is for
Marketers, ops people, and side-hustlers who can spot a recurring workflow that takes 30+ minutes a week and would pay $20–$80/mo to skip.
The honest truth
The bar is low for "build it" and high for "anyone uses it." 80% of AI wrappers shipped this year will get fewer than 10 paying customers. The reason is almost never the product — it's that the founder picked a problem nobody pays to solve. Your first 30 days are mostly customer interviews, not coding.
What you'll do in your first 30 days
- 1Days 1–3: Pick a workflow you (or someone you know well) has done 50+ times. Specificity wins.
- 2Days 4–10: Talk to 10 people who do the same workflow. Ask what they currently do and what would make them switch.
- 3Days 11–18: Build the smallest possible v0 — one input, one output, no signup. Share it for free.
- 4Days 19–25: Pick the 3 users who actually used v0 and ask them to pay $20/mo. If 2 say yes, you have a business.
- 5Days 26–30: Ship the paid version. Set up Stripe. Stop building features and start selling.
What Waymaker does for you on this path
- Cofounder Roleplay: practice the user interview before you book the first one — most founders blow their first 5 interviews because they pitch instead of listen.
- Brain auto-saves your validation evidence so you stop arguing with yourself about whether the pain is real.
- Cameron drafts the v0 spec from your saved notes — including the "kill criterion" you set before you write any code.
How this works
You sign up. Cameron asks 18 questions to learn how you think. You pick this path. Your first 30 days are scaffolded into discrete plays — interview prep, validation scoring, kill criteria — so you never have to ask "what should I do today?"
Why this path
AI-wrapper SaaS is the lowest-capital, fastest-feedback business shape today. You can validate in 2 weeks and ship in 4. The downside is everyone else figured this out too — so picking the right problem is the only thing that matters.
This isn't for you if…
- You haven't done the workflow yourself or watched someone do it 50+ times.
- You're more excited about building than about selling.
- You think "marketers will pay" without a specific marketer who said they'd pay.
Honest fit beats wishful start. Pick a path that matches who you actually are right now.
