How Samy built his SaaS in 4 months

In partnership with

Welcome to AI Case Study, your go-to resource for navigating AI workflows as a solopreneur.

Hey legends, I hope you are having a great week so far.

So, the idea of this newsletter edition is to show you how you can use the power of AI and build your SaaS without previous experience.

I have followed Samy for a few months, and he was quite inactive on LinkedIn in the last few months.

So I ask him, Are you okay?

What’s going on?

He replies to me that he is building his first SaaS.

Okay, but why, you know, is it challenging?
He has a vision that he wants to productize his offer.

To do that, you need to have a tool.
Which is, if you ask me, a great idea because:

• You avoid sales calls.

• You avoid discovery calls.

• You have all of your assets in one place.

So before I show you the tool, Samy built this in public and shared his process.

He spent:

→ Hours learning frameworks & APIs

→ Hours testing prompts

→ Hours preparing data for fine-tuning

And now, he almost has a good MVP.

For now he has:

✅ Viral content trends

✅ Template generator

✅ Linkedin post generator (with research and youtube summarizer)

✅ Carousel generator (to be improved)

All in one place.

Here’s the funny thing:

He did not write a single line of code himself.

Nor did he use an expensive no-code tool.

And YOU don’t need to either. 🫵

All you need is:

- A good boilerplate project → Github

- A good AI model → Claude Sonnet/ Open ai o1

- A good development environment → VS code/Cursor ai

Here are 5 actionable steps to help you get started:

1. Learn the basics of coding : Typescript, React and Next JS

2. Learn APIs : Claude, Perplexity, …

3. Use pre-built templates (Youtube, GitHub are great resources)

4. Make it work locally, then improve the features one by one with AI

5. Leverage AI vision to turn screens from Mobbin/Dribble into code

So with that said, let’s explore AIforbees, Samy’s ultimate content tool for LinkedIn growth.
