🦄 Startups.fyi Spotlight 💰
1. The Trailblazer 🚀
This guy called Mike just gets it.
He saw that the AI market was booming and built an AI tool that integrated directly with Slack, meaning you do not have to leave the Slack platform to use the tool.
The AI tool is like a ChatGPT for Slack, it is a Free AI Assistant in your Slack and also allows you to use ChatGPT without any restrictions.
To make it more interesting, he didn't even hire an AI developer. Instead, he leveraged OpenAI's accessible technology, which includes pre-built models and APIs.
So with ChatGPT and the API instructions, it’s possible to create a tool like this without needing in-depth AI development expertise.
It was launched this year by a solo founder and it is still pre-revenue.
2. The Quick Brew ⚡️
This is freaking amazing.
Imagine a productivity tool that predicts when you should tackle tasks—based on your unique habits and meeting patterns.
It integrates seamlessly into everyday tools like Slack and Google Workspace, enhancing—not interrupting—daily workflow.
This tool was launched as a side project by a solo founder after getting frustrated by traditional task apps that lacked personalization.

3. The Game Changer 🔥
While other video editors are manually adding text to the screen, this platform is doing it seamlessly in minutes, not hours.
This is a user-friendly online platform that makes subtitle editing, translation, and management easy.
Launched in 2023 by the solo founder, this tool is already generating $50/month constantly.
4. 🎯 The Power Play 🎯
This no-code tool was built by a solo founder and up till now, he still has no employees and he is generating $300 every month.
It is a platform that offers a range of PDF tools for editing, converting, securing, and sharing files, anytime and anywhere.
5. The Crowd Favorite 🌟
Here is another simple idea.
A dynamic PDF generation platform offering a user-friendly drag-and-drop designer, HTML editor, and REST API for seamless PDF creation, customization, and automation.
Launched by its solo founder in 2023, this idea is making him a constant $500 in MRR.
6. The Hidden Gem 💎
This fitness app helps you work out and eat well with personalized workout plans, exercise videos, customized nutrition, progress tracking, community support, and wearable integrations.
Not needing the help of any employee to manage you can easily start something similar.
Launched in 2023, this app is generating $1,000/month.
7. The LaunchPad 🚀
Here is the last idea for this week's newsletter.
It is an AI-powered platform that offers automated editing, custom image creation, and artistic styles for graphic designers, social media managers, and content creators.
Launched this year, this tool has only one founder and no employee and it is still making $3,000/month.
