Founders: would you trust an AI agent to test every release before users see it?

AI is making it easier to write code .

But who’s making sure it actually works?

Feels like software testing is about to become just as important as coding.

[Hassan Rizwan @hassanz_io]

AI is making it easier to build features.

But does adding more AI features actually make a SaaS product better?

Or should founders focus on solving one problem really well — and charging for the value it creates?

Curious what other founders think.

AI agents are moving beyond chat 🤖

Today, Nooks launched a platform designed to automate sales from first outreach to customer renewal.

SaaS founders: would you trust an AI agent to handle your sales process, or keep a human involved at every step?

[Hassan Rizwan @hassanz_io]

Building a SaaS is one thing.

Getting someone to actually pay for it is another.

Solo founders, what’s harder for you right now?

Building the product or finding your first 10 paying customers?

[Hassan Rizwan @hassanz_io]

SaaS founders, what’s one thing you wish you knew before building your first product?

Not a technical lesson. Something about business, customers, or the reality of running a SaaS.

I’d love to hear your experiences.

[Hassan Rizwan @hassanz_io]

@DARKKEVN Exactly. People don’t necessarily need AI to be perfect. They need to know there’s a way to catch mistakes before they become real problems.

[Hassan Rizwan @hassanz_io]

AI agents are moving into real workflows, but trust is still the bottleneck.

G2’s 2026 research found 52% of buyers require human review before agents go into production.

For SaaS founders, building the agent is only half the job. Earning trust is the other half.

[Hassan Rizwan @hassanz_io]

AI is changing SaaS pricing.

For years, it was simple: pay per user.

Now we’re seeing usage-based pricing, AI credits and outcome-based models.

I think the real question is:

Are customers paying for features, or for the value they actually get?

[Hassan Rizwan @hassanz_io]

Your first 10 beta testers can shape the future of your product.

Give them early access, listen to their honest feedback, understand their pain points, and keep improving.

Because great products aren’t built on assumptions. They’re built by listening to the people who use them

October 20, 2026 — a day to remember.

ALHAMDULILLAH! I got my first customer and my first feedback for Yubnal AI.

It might seem like a small step to some, but it means a lot to me and my startup.

Just getting started. 🚀

[Hassan Rizwan @hassanz_io]

Just built an automated pipeline for Yubnal AI to reach 120 YouTubers (5/day).

Lesson so far:
Posting into the void with 0 followers gets 0 users. Direct 1-on-1 outreach is the only way from 0 to 1.

[Hassan Rizwan @hassanz_io]

I’m starting my journey as a solo founder.

My first startup, https://t.co/1beOelmGhv helps YouTubers create and edit better thumbnails.

I’m giving the first 20 users free access to Pro.
