(Day 164 of building in public)
YES. 🚀🚀 CLAUDE IS ACTUALLY INSANE

Opus 4.5 basically built a COMPANY for me: Calendly:
• $3B valuation
• $250M+ per year
• $350M raised

In <1 hour, I have:
📆 Built my own Calendly
🎨 With Airbnb's design
🧑‍💻 It has a real, WORKING BACKEND
📅 AI connected Google CALENDAR for me
🔗 REAL MEETINGS actually show up
🤑 I could’ve added Stripe and charged $19/mo… just forgot lol
✍️ Next feature (soon): 1 click multi-language. AI-translated into 50+ languages. WTF 😱

Then at the end I randomly changed my mind and in a few words (and 2 min) I rebranded the whole thing to Duolingo’s design. Just because.

This is basically a company..??
Built by AI, in under an hour.

@BenjaminHouy came back for a second High Signal interview :

"Anyone who ever worked on a B2C SaaS will tell you that it has its pros and cons (putting it mildly.)

Low willingness to pay, high churn etc.

And I always felt envious of my indie friends running B2B SaaS."

Last week I was interviewed for High Signal (an indie hacker newsletter) chatting about making Dumb Phone and my experience launching it.

Thanks again @petecodes! 🙂 🙏

"I’ve been building in public on Twitter since I started in 2020, consistently sharing what I’m working on. (including Dumb Phone)

This helped me make lots of friends along the way who have also helped me grow as a maker, while having plenty of fun as I went." @michael_tigas
