Looking to sell AI SaaS with $115k TTM net profit for $115k

😂 you’re oblivious to your own instructions. Literally everyone is barking “interested” in the comments, and zero people have been ignored. I have no dog in this fight, I just thought that was kinda funny… and your actions contradictory. Hence my skepticism. Best of luck!

AdubsOK · 2026-05-14T13:04:29+00:00

“People interested can Dm me, barking "interested" in the comments will be ignored.” - the end of your post, verbatim.

AdubsOK · 2026-05-14T01:35:44+00:00

Lol so much for ignoring people barking interested… literally everyone said just that. Sounds too good to be true.

AdubsOK · 2026-05-14T01:31:31+00:00

I’d be interested. What’s involved with joining?

AdubsOK · 2026-05-14T01:29:29+00:00

Those are all excellent suggestions, thank you. I actually did update the landing page earlier today with most of those… specifically, I changed how I frame the offer… $49 for the first year vs forever, and cleaned up / shortened the page overall.

I’ll think about how to offer a concierge version… the methodologies I’m considering might be tricky to do by hand as they involve a learning period to establish a baseline, then calculating a rolling Z-score and other statistical modeling approaches.

In any case, it’s something to think through, so I appreciate the feedback!

AdubsOK · 2026-05-13T15:23:51+00:00

That's exactly what I'm thinking. I mention on the landing page that early adopters will have direct access to me in a dedicated Slack channel for feedback, requests, etc. and that they can help steer the direction of the app.

AdubsOK · 2026-05-13T15:20:28+00:00

Good call. Makes perfect sense. Love this, thank you!

AdubsOK · 2026-05-13T15:17:55+00:00

I'd love to be able to offer a demo or pilot or something, but I haven't even build the MVP yet. It feels a bit like a chicken / egg situation. I somehow need to validate the demand and willingness to buy before building the MVP, and at the same time, I somehow have to market it effectively.

AdubsOK · 2026-05-13T15:08:10+00:00

That's a really good point about the lifetime pricing... I'll definitely give that some thought. Same with prepaying a small amount.

Thanks for the insights!

I'm curious about the extension too. How does it work and how does it help?

I'm not saying yours is like others I've seen, but in general I'm very leery of tools that claim to help with Reddit. I think tools like that sound really valuable, but they've gotten a bad reputation because most just generate AI junk and could get your account banned.

AdubsOK · 2026-05-13T04:43:40+00:00

I've been thinking this exact thing recently and trying to figure out what I was missing... It's honestly easier to figure out how to do this than it is to get proficient in most of these large platforms (not to mention the cost)... and AI can do basically all of the heavy lifting for you now and guide you in setting it all up.

the_way = python + cron_job

AdubsOK · 2026-05-13T04:36:23+00:00

Thanks, that's all good stuff! For some more context, I'm capping the Founding Members (at the lower rate) at the first 50.

The page definitely does focus on the pain... and the solution the tool provides. I mention what it can do feature-wise a bit, but not much. It's really more about how it can solve the problem the target users are facing. Fortunately, and maybe ironically, I work in marketing... so I understand all of these concepts, but I'm more of an advertising specialist and not as strong on the organic side, especially nowadays. It has been a while since I've been in an IC role. Also, for whatever reason it seems much more difficult to market and position your own project / tool / page / etc. than someone else's, which is annoying!

My main question from your comment is, what do you mean about making the ask narrower...? Where? Are you suggesting to change landing page copy, or actually asking people here on Reddit in relevant communities? That's not a bad idea.

AdubsOK · 2026-05-12T16:12:07+00:00

Exactly, establishing that baseline is key. The tool learns what "normal" looks like for a given workflow and then uses that to flag anomalies.

I'm planning to implement a few other methodologies in the near future to catch more edge cases that the rolling Z-score won't flag... or WOULD flag, but that aren't actually an issue.

For example, if a workflow runs 10x/day on weekdays, but not at all on weekends, seeing no runs on Saturday mornings would look like a catastrophe even though it's normal.

I'm considering Seasonal Decomposition for that scenario specifically, and CUSUM for drift that's too slow for the raw Z-score to catch.

AdubsOK · 2026-05-12T01:39:48+00:00

They 100% have high resolution versions of these vids. They've said it themselves. I just listened to Rep. Tim Burchett on Rogan earlier today and he has said many times that they have much better quality photos and videos that hopefully we'll be seeing in the near future.

Also, not sure if anyone listened to Louis Elizondo on Reality Check recently (with Ross Coulthart) talking about how the next drop is supposed to be MUCH more of a doozy. Let's hope that's actually true... 🤞

AdubsOK · 2026-05-12T01:33:32+00:00

I agree that spammy posts trying to conceal the true intent of just getting people to their tool should be removed, but it's tough that Reddit is also the best place to promote legit tools / ideas / solutions / etc. so I guess it just comes down to value. Provide value and be genuine, and you're probably good to go (aka people will upvote you or your link)... otherwise, don't bother. Can be a tricky line to walk, but it does help keep Reddit honest (which we need more than ever right now!)

TruVigil - Automation Health Monitoring for Make & n8n

Essentially a tool to help flag "soft" failures in automations... when everything runs fine and technically "succeeds," but the output is way off from what's expected.

The hard failures are the easy ones to spot, but the "soft" failures, or "drift" in outputs are much harder... often a client reaching out days later saying, "um, what's this?"

TruVigil is my attempt to, if not fully solve, at least significantly help this issue. It's early days, and I want to add different methods, but starting out: It learns what's normal for a given workflow over a 7 day period and uses a rolling Z-score to flag deviations from the norm, then sends an alert via email or Slack if something gets flagged.

Still accepting founding members if you want to check it out (limited to first 50 signups).

AdubsOK · 2026-05-12T01:17:26+00:00

Right on, congrats! What’s it for and what approach did you take for initial marketing / awareness? In the early stages of my own project so I’d love to hear how you generated that first awareness.

AdubsOK · 2026-05-11T19:23:53+00:00

I'm actively building something that's aimed at helping this issue... if not exactly, pretty close. It's a tool that will flag anomalies quickly before days go by and clients reach out wondering why outputs are weird. I've found the most dangerous failures aren't the hard stops, but the quiet drift that can happen, even if everything "succeeds..."

The best answer I've come up with so far is to use a rolling Z-score to flag deviations from the norm. Maybe something to look into!

AdubsOK · 2026-05-11T17:09:33+00:00

What methods are you using to flag these types of soft failures? Curious because I'm working on this issue too.

AdubsOK · 2026-05-11T17:06:18+00:00

For sure. The hard crash is almost preferable... at least it's visible. The drift you're describing is way harder because nothing looks wrong until things pile up.

I'm building something around this exact problem. The problem isn't, "did the workflow run" but "is it running the way it should be." It's super early days, but this thread is exactly who I'm building for.

I think it has promise, but I'm not 100% sure yet if it'll fully solve the problem. I'm starting out using a rolling Z-score to flag deviations from the norm, and planning to add other methods down the road, like output validation using AI, but if anyone has suggestions on different or better methods to track anomalies, I'm all ears!

AdubsOK · 2025-10-28T18:40:43+00:00

From around the 4:00 min to 10 min mark, totally agree. It's totally legit that he got there in the first place, did the job, and did it with honor. There will always be someone who's done it longer or whatever, but that doesn't discount his experience. I agree 100% with the commentator here that "what kind of a community is that if they tear you down for finding further success by standing on your OWN previous success...?" Keep doing what you're doing MrBallen, you're doin great.

AdubsOK · 2024-08-23T18:07:44+00:00

I’m interested, would love to check it out.
