I shipped 14 free tools in 3 days with AI. What worked, what did not, and the numbers.
Description and use
Rapidly built and launched 14 AI‑generated web tools in 3 days, attracting dozens of unique visitors each, but with no email signups or sales; distribution remains the main bottleneck.
Problem
How to rapidly build and ship functional web tools using AI while managing distribution and monetization.
Outcome
Rapid deployment of 14 AI‑generated tools in 3 days; each tool attracted 12–31 unique visitors; no email signups and only one paid sale; distribution effort became the main bottleneck.
Workflow
- 1. Identify common error problems and decide on tool scope.
- 2. Use Claude agents to generate code, tests, and pages in parallel.
- 3. Deploy each tool to the hub site within hours.
- 4. Rebuild UI for better UX on day two.
- 5. Publish analytics and distribution notes.
- 6. Monitor visitor behavior and adjust monetization strategy.
