My ADHD brain always has another idea. AI makes it very easy to start building it.
I already have four apps I’m trying to monetize:
- Take Dictation: you talk, it types on your Mac.
- Overdrive Lab: an AI social media team that researches, drafts, and publishes after you approve.
- AI Health Export: chat with and export your Apple Health data.
- QuickSinq: bring your PayPal sales into Wave, with your approval.
While listing them on SaaS directories, I started thinking: why don’t I build one of these advertising platforms?
So I pitched Claude this idea. Claude’s response:
“You already have four apps that need buyers.”
Okay, Claude. Fair point.
I can build another thing. That doesn’t mean another thing is what these four need from me.
The easy trap is to keep adding features before anyone has had a chance to tell you whether the useful part is actually useful. AI makes that trap faster, too.
My reminder to myself: plan the next useful stage. Build it. Get people testing it, then using it. Let what I learn shape the next stage while I keep building.
If one of these apps would help you, take a look. I’d love to hear what you think.
The next idea can wait.
