Summary

A founder built a tool that uses AI to automate manual workflows for early-stage founders, turning repetitive tasks like data entry and CSV reconciliation into automated processes, saving hours per week.

so ive been talking to a lot of side project founders lately and kept hearing the same thing. theyre spending like 10+ hours a week on repetitive manual stuff (data entry, copying between tools, following up leads) because they cant afford to hire devs yet and no code tools only get them halfway there. decided to build something that bridges that gap. basically takes your messy manual process and turns it into an actual automated workflow with some light AI sprinkled in. nothing crazy, just saves people from the copy paste grind while theyre trying to grow. currently testing with a few beta users who run small SaaS side projects. one guy was manually exporting csvs from his payment processor every week to reconcile with his crm. now it just... happens. took his 3 hour saturday morning task down to literally checking a dashboard for 2 minutes. anyone else here dealing with this? what manual workflow is eating your time right now that you wish you could just automate away? curious if im solving the right pain points or if theres something bigger im missing also if youve tried zapier/make/etc and hit a wall where you needed actual code logic, would love to hear what that looked like. trying to figure out where the line is for most people
