I'm working on 24 startups simultaneously
(half a million b2b users, multimillion ARR)

No VC funding, employees, calls, office, managers...

Each business is 100% async over chat:
> me: idea, design, UX & marketing.
> comaker: coding, product & support.

Why, how, what: Image
1. After wasting my best years for a decade in VC-backed space, startup accelerators, conferences, meetings, scrums, I decided to do a hard pivot.

In 2023, I started my bootstrapping journey to build the world's most automated org to democratize startups for everyone
2. I wanted to build a set of tools and AI Agents so that anyone with an idea, passion, and discipline could use them to compete with VC-backed corporations while being independent.

It felt unfair that only people living in a handful of Western cities playing the game.
3. My plan was to build tools for
- ideation, formation, operation
- building/coding
- growing/marketing

Basically, the whole cycle of the business. Here are the tools I've launched so far:
1. @unicornplatform
- website builder for busy founders & marketers.
- best for building web directories, job boards & landing pages with it.
- super easy to use, no design or coding skills needed.
- connected to all my other tools for seo/ads/analytics...
2. @seobotai
- world's first AI SEO agent for a blog
- runs 100% on autopilot with moderation options
- works with all popular CMS
- insanely good ROI for SEO if you're a busy founder

3. @listingbott
- finds new directories on the web every day
- lists your product on every relevant directory it finds
- humans moderate all the actions, so no spam, no mistakes
- saves days and weeks of work for busy founders and marketers

4. @indexrusher
- gets you indexed by bing(helps with LLM search optimization, so that chatgpt knows you)
- helps with google indexing(up to 20 pages a day)
- saves you time, often drives SEO traffic up

5. @devhunt_
- product hunt alternative for dev tools
- second best launchpad in the world after ph (by traffic)
6.
- analytics for landing pages & web directories
- web stats, seo stats, stripe, domain rating and anything else that is possible to fetch/measure for a saas is coming in v2
- The LifeTime deal ends next month, when I launch v2

countvisits.com
7. - cinema platform that offers entire cinema software set:
- website and native mobile apps
- CMS
- CRM
- cinema ticketing software and all the other software that cinemas need

Here is the old pic, today most of the team is replace by AI. filmgrail.comImage
8. @wrapifai
- can generate form based tiny apps
- works best for mini tools for SEO or lead magnets
- also works well for mini AI generator apps (e.g. user inputs data into the form and the app uses AI to generate smth)

10. Directory Guide
- I described everything I know about building successful directories
- Short but effective guide
- 1000+ people have bought it and 99% were happy with it

-> johnrush.me/directory-guid…
11. Projects in beta/progress
> saasEmailer - AI Agent to handle emails for saas.
> webPinger - AI Agent for web monitoring and uptime
> PR AI Agent - for social media and PR
> TinyAdz - ad network and monetization tools for websites, directories, newsletters and social media accounts
> Marketing Image Api - an image API to be consumed by AI agents to generate images with text/charts on the fly
> SupportAgent - AI Agent for support that uses discord as UI
> Nova - AI Agent that acts as PM and COO
> Cofondr - AI Cofounder
12. I have 23 more projects planned, and I need co-makers.
- you must have tried building a few products solo in the past
- you live in a cost-efficient country & can afford no revenue for 1-3 years
- you hate calls & love doing it all async over chat

I automated most of my job as an entrepreneur (landing pages, lead magnets, ads, websites, coding, operations, accounting, legal, research, seo, marketing, sales, customer support, and more).

These AI Agents & Tools help me run 11 startups & 22 directories simultaneously:
1. I build all my landing pages & web directories using @unicornplatform (I pick a template I visually like, then I explain my project with an AI prompt).

It all usually takes 5min for most of my landing pages.

2. I automate web tasks (e.g. form filling, data collection & other web automation routines) using

e.g. in @listingbott I use these web agents to submit my products to the relevant web directories automatically console.notte.cc

I started building an AI Agent for SEO in 2022.

The 1st version took a year to build,
then another year to iterate & reach a near-human level.

Today, @seobotai replaces my entire blog SEO team. An average article takes 2 hours, 700 prompts & 125 tasks.

How it works in detail: Image
1. The user provides a URL of the site to the agent:
- it scrapes the website
- LLM learns all the details about the biz: pricing, audience, solution, problem..
- It creates a full spec and passes it on to the next model

2. Next model creates an SEO strategy
- does keyword analysis
- looks at competitors
- looks at existing articles and pages
- comes up with full knowledge and topic tree
- tests it all for potential and demand via google search console API
- goes to google search to explore more Image

My AI predictions (2025-2035)

- Agents (agentic software will replace saas & humans at most tasks)

- APIs (agents need APIs to interact with each other & legacy systems)

- Most humans will act as tools for agents

- AI UX will shift to Canvas + Chat

I'm building these agents: Image
1. @seobotai AI Agent for SEO, that can:
- research topics & keywords
- generate articles
- find relevant news and knowledge on internet
- build up backlinks
- come up with pSEO ideas & implement them
-...basically act as your entire SEO department

2. @listingbott can do the boring job
- finds all relevant places on the web (directories, forums, launchpads, business sites...)
- lists you everywhere, filling out all those boring forms
- does it in a way that's safe with zero risks (slowly over time)

Robots are going wild tbh,

I build startups & AI Agents every day & night, but I'm so jealous of those who build robots & physical automations.

Sharing my 18 robo bookmarks:

1. Your next girlfriend:

2. This is why those electronics from China are so cheap.

If this is possible, then i guess we can automate almost any factory worker, and it's just a matter of time until humans dont have to be occupied by these super boring jobs

3. This one can fold laundry using a neural net. Which means: nobody has hardcoded this bot to do what it does. They just show him how it can be done and he simply learns (like humans)

let me save you $5,000 on appmafia course:

( how you can exploit a glitch in the VC money matrix )

(( if money is all you need ))
1. Attention-marketing:

> create a controversy
> get everyone to comment/quote/mention your brand with their "takes on it"
> throw even more wood into the fire so that the entire internet is talking about you (90% hating, 10% loving)
> earn followers & money
2. Influencer-marketing:

> book 100 social media infuencers to mention your brand & engage with each other on these posts
> trick algorithms to feature it in "what's happening/news" to turn it into "current thing"
> the crowd can't tell if the hype is fake, so they'll engage

I've tried all (61 😵‍💫) AI Coding Agents & IDEs

[Emergent, CodeRabbit, Anything, Zed, Factory, Cursor, Windsurf, Wrapifai, Copilot, Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, MarsX, Canva, Devin, Github Spark, Figma Make, Cline & more]

The most complete list ever made (with demos & notes):
1/ @EmergentLabsHQ
- purely vibe coding tool (you need zero code skills)
- works best for building micro SaaS on web
- has its own AI keys (no need to figure things out)
- I'd say: go for it if you are non-technical with an idea
2/ @coderabbitai
- helps to review the code
- works great when I need to review my vibe coded project, but I dont wanna read all the code
- finds bugs, security holes & suggests improvements
