Meng To just dropped his $100K MRR playbook using Claude + Codex to ship paid AI apps.
Aura now only 20% of his revenue. Rest is from AI-built products.
His 9-step framework:
1. Mine ideas from tools you already use daily
2. Rebuild old products with new AI stack
3. Opus 5.5 for frontend, Codex for backend scaffolding
4. Ship baseline fast, iterate in public
5. Declare your full tech stack + future features upfront
6. One strong design reference per feature (not 10 vague ones)
7. AI must generate value, not just render data
8. Make the agent self-score /10, screenshot bugs, auto-fix
9. Ship demo → collect feedback → feed it back to agent → repeat
He shared 3 copy-paste prompts:
Prompt 1: Build a mockup editor (React + Vite + Supabase + Stripe) with 2D/3D tools, real-time collab, and export to YouTube/X/web creatives. References: Figma + Spline + Linear landing.
Prompt 2: Add AI icon generation. Compare Claude vs Higgsfield vs OpenAI APIs. Store keys server-side via Firebase/Supabase. Guide me through manual steps.
Prompt 3: Wire up Stripe Managed Payments + webhooks. Assume zero payment setup experience.
Full 45-min tutorial in the thread. Also 20% off Mobbin for design inspo.
This is the new meta for solo builders shipping fast.
