Everything boosted by AI is losing its value down to zero - code / software / apps / saas - long form text / books / esays - video / music / ugs / art / photo / paintings - presentations / websites / landings - hard skills / math / 3d / translation / and so on... If I started over, instead of being super excited about areas AI is transforming, I'd go into areas AI can't touch yet: - the world of ATOMS - human pleasure and in-person services - energy - food - construction - and so on In fact, I've already started doing some of it (construction) and I'll slowly increase the time i spend on non-digital businesses before it all drops to ZERO. I've been saying this 4 years ago, when nobody knew what I was, today the number of people realizing this has grown a lot, if you're not in this group, lets talk again in one year.

Crazy numbers... In 3 years, devhunt.org drove 24,177,738 impressions across 9,791 listed products 🤯 Today, I'm introducing v2: built with opus5.5 + 100 million tokens in 3 days. $49 gets you (going to $99 soon) - Dofollow backlink from a DR 65 domain - Potential reach to 100k+ founders and developers - Homepage + newsletter placement For advertizers (best deal out there, I'm pretty sure) : - run an ad for a full month: $499 - up to 200k impressions - be in a newsletter sent to 40k users All stats, clicks, impressions, and demographics are public, on the website. P.S. Non-dev tools are welcome too. You still get the dofollow backlink, homepage placement, and newsletter mention; you just don’t enter the voting.

Here's what "AI agent era" actually looks like They work for me 24/7: writing code, doing sales, ads, SEO, legal documents, accounting, slides, docs, research, scraping, design, and so on. 23 examples:

Why did I create listingbott.com to list my products in web directories? 1. Boost SEO with backlinks. 2. Gain direct traffic. 3. Influencers & journalists often browse them. 4. LLMs scrape directories 5. Brand-building My favorite marketing channel of all time.

I acquired Unicorn Platform for $0.8M and grew it from 25k to 631,000 users. I've literally tried every growth method I've heard of. All my marketing failures & successes:

Just shared everything I learned building startups for 20 years (ideas, marketing, tools, ai, hacks, how-tos, and more) Enjoy (with live demos & examples on how you can do it) -> youtube.com/watch?v=SiRlIMtZ…

I've tried all ( 74 😵‍💫 ) AI Coding Agents & IDEs [Rork, CodeRabbit, Anima, Zed, Factory, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, MarsX, Canva, Devin, Github Spark, Vercel, Lindy, Warp, Figma, Cline, Vibe Coder & more] The most complete list ever made (with demos & notes):

I think this is absolutely genius. If you struggle with a marketing message, turn on A/B testing in TinyAdz and let it test lots of different ideas to pick a winner 😎 boom, now you have high-converting marketing copy you can use on ur landing page, cold emails, etc

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:

ListingBott is a no-brainer for almost every startup - SaaS, AI tool, Agency, and so on Why list on all relevant directories? - get more eyeballs on ur product - LLMs may pick up ur product & recommend it cuz they browse directories - earn backlinks for domain rating & SEO

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:

Oh man, I grind like crazy daily since 2005, building the @seobotai + @listingbott + @tinyadz_ + all my other products...but every day I feel happy like a child reading these 🥹🥲😭

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):

My founder report for May 😶‍🌫️ : (crazy growth of tinyadz, free embedded analytics in unicorn, monthly plans for listingbott, 4 new projects, maker week & hackathon, my entry into the construction, moving my holdco to a tax-free zone, monetization of my social media, and more)
