It appeared in January 2023 inside Google Slides, a program where people already work. At that time writing slides from one sentence was new, and users showed it to each other without paid advertising. A blog about presentation topics then brought about 80% of new users from Google search, by the founder's account. Both channels weakened: search traffic fell, and Google added the same function to Slides. The verified total is real, and so is the fall: monthly revenue fell by half between February and July 2026.

It is run by a search marketer. Its pages target what people type into Google. Its best month came from a list article on another company's blog that ranked there. A US$1 trial that needs a card turns visitors directly into subscribers at US$25 a month or US$99 a year.

The first customers came from a lifetime-deal sale on AppSumo, at a time when the product had no AI at all. That gave about a thousand users, word of mouth and a Powered by Guidejar link on every free guide. From April 2024 the founder sold subscriptions instead, and added AI writing, voiceover and translation to the paid plans, metered in credits.

It sold a simple promise, a finished PowerPoint file from one sentence, at a low price. In 2024 and the first half of 2025 the archived pricing showed unlimited decks for US$9.99 a month. Stripe payments read by TrustMRR add up to US$60,120 since the start. The verified monthly figures also show a steady fall after November 2025. By then the plans had moved from unlimited use to slide credits. The founder put the business up for sale.

It put a language model inside Google Sheets from November 2022, and Google's marketplace brought more than 201,000 installs. Few installs paid: US$52,136 of verified revenue in 47 months is about US$0.26 per install. Its most important result may be indirect. A request for a pitch deck for SheetAI led the founder to build MagicSlides. By its own verified data, MagicSlides earned about 14 times as much. SheetAI's own revenue is now falling, and Google has offered a similar AI function inside Sheets since June 2025.

It does the work in the cells instead of explaining what to paste. It works in the Excel that people already have, without a Microsoft Copilot license. The founder already taught Excel to a large French audience. The AI models are bought by the request from OpenAI and Anthropic, so one person could build and run it.

One person in Paris built an AI research product that sells a one-time report instead of a subscription. TrustMRR reads US$30,168 of revenue from its payment accounts between December 2025 and 12 October 2026. The page shows how a crowded AI category can still pay a solo founder. It also shows how revenue behaved after the first three months, and what is still unclear about the first month.

Many recipes now live in short videos, where the ingredients are spoken or shown and never written down. A model that can watch a video and write out a structured recipe turned an old app category into something that works for these videos. That category is the recipe keeper. One developer built it on rented models and sells it through the app stores as a subscription.

It was online in August 2022, months before ChatGPT made chat with language models common. So it was early to a simple and frequent need: remembering spreadsheet formula syntax. The same need is now served free by general chat assistants, and Sheeter's Stripe revenue has fallen every month for a year.

Heavy users of AI chat apps lose old answers, because the apps had no folders, no filtered search and no bulk export. AI Toolbox adds these inside the apps, for four apps at once, and sells them mostly as one-time licenses. By the seller's account, it finds its buyers through search pages instead of ads.

xAI released Grok Bot, a messaging app of AI agents, in beta on 11 August 2026. The two founders published their own open version about two hours later, under the name OpenGrokBot. They pitched it to people who wanted the same idea on Claude or Codex instead of Grok. Payment records show the first payment on 27 September 2026 and US$5,503 in the 30 days to 25 October 2026.

The founder first published the same idea as a free command-line tool on GitHub and npm in July 2024. It collected about 2,100 GitHub stars and a Product Hunt launch. The paid desktop app then sold to people who wanted the result without a terminal. It sold a US$19 one-time license for local models, or credits for cloud models. Revenue peaked in November and December 2025 and fell when the founder moved his time to another product.

General schedulers such as Hootsuite, Buffer and Later only publish posts made elsewhere. Velisto starts one step earlier, from the listing. One property becomes a campaign of posts, stories and a reel for each stage from Just Listed to Just Sold. Topic suggestions fill the weeks without a listing. It is narrow on purpose, built only for real estate, and charged from US$59 a month after a 7-day free trial.

It aimed at regulated enterprises that needed AI agents on their own servers, with audit logs. The company said in 2025 that hundreds of organizations used it. Asana bought it in May 2026. Asana's quarterly report states the price.

Four founders, two of whom had built the drinks-delivery start-up Winelivery, looked for a profession. They wanted one that works with a large, fast-changing body of rules and had not yet adopted AI. They chose Italian accountants and labour consultants. They tested a first version with practitioners and sold monthly subscriptions. In October 2025 TeamSystem, an Italian maker of software for accountants, bought the majority of the company. Its press release said Normo.ai had €1.3 million of revenue in 2025.

A studio portrait needs a photographer, a booking and days of waiting. AI SuitUp sold the same result, a photo for LinkedIn or a résumé, for a one-time price from early 2023. The larger packs had a money-back guarantee. It narrowed the offer to one use, professional headshots, and then built a landing page for almost every profession and a version for company teams. Stripe records US$648,649 of payments in total, but only US$35,743 of it in the last 12 months. So most of the money came in 2023, 2024 and 2025.

The founder had worked as a screenwriter and knew which part of the job is tool work. That part is the page format, and keeping characters and scenes consistent across a long draft. He built the editor around that work and kept the AI in the role of a helper. He says Claude Code wrote all the code. The beta grew through invite codes that users earned by posting about it. Monthly revenue rose from US$5,136 in May 2026 to about US$46,000 in August and in September.
