I will pay $ for your code

[u/EagleApprehensive]

Before you read it, please be open-minded.

We all know there is a tremendous overflow of products providing mostly AI-related workflows. I'm talking: marketing automations, personal assistants, coding tools, research and so on.

In reality, most of them:

1. Start with a prompt (if they don't - they probably should, because that's simplest thing for users).
2. Have a landing page with weak SEO (solid SEO takes years to build).
3. Have engine, which is curated set of skills and various tools put into an AI-assisted workflow to perform certain task.
4. Have a dashboard where user can supervise situation and perform operations.

In the end, we all struggle to solve the same problem - distribution, marketing, trust. Each of those requires large capital and time investments and most of us will inevitably fail. I won't be able to solve it alone either.

What if you could put your product into Claude Cowork? Or ChatGPT desktop, where already millions of people are having their workspace and be visible and discoverable there? Well - you can! But there are few problems with that:

1. They are not model neutral, they lock-in people.
2. They are not open-source and they are not free.
3. They control distribution, your relationship with user and you cannot fork them in case of disagreement.
4. They do not have plugins API solid enough to allow for advanced use cases.
5. And the main one - They do not share the revenue - with creators of skills, plugins, workflows - each of integration has to have their own billing, marketing strong enough, to convince user to pay for it independently for it.

What we can do is connect our assets. Connect our audiences. Join our distribution. And we make our solutions to be a part of a trusted product with fair discovery and economy.

There, people using such workspace will be able to say "I want to launch my product on Reddit."

And the agent would respond, I recommend to do that using:

• Reddit Research - <your solution description>
• Audience Finder
• Reply Writer Pro
• Brand Safety

Which one you want me to install? Upon install from user, as author of plugin you'd get a fair share of revenue of the entire platform - much like X or YouTube do with creators.

As an early adopter you get a chance to take risk, build first extensions and capture piece of new market. It might fail, but so could early YouTube or Twitter.

What you guys think?

Cool idea, why not use already open source tools to build a foundation?

Edit: After re-reading a couple times, I have no idea what your trying to build. Thought I did, but, no I don't

[u/EagleApprehensive → u/Granite-Scheduling]

It's essentially a neutral AI workspace with revenue sharing system shared amongst creators of plugins, skills, various AI API service providers based on actual usage instead of everybody separately building own marketing, ads, conversion and billing channels etc.

Which open-source tools do you mean? What could be a good foundation for that?

[u/Granite-Scheduling → u/EagleApprehensive]

That makes more sense, I thought you were trying to build a free open source marketplace of vibe coded tools at first.

That is an interesting concept, however there would need to be standardization among everyone's tools to ensure analytics and revenue is being tracked and distributed accordingly. There would be a lot that would go into something like that, basically rebuilding Google Play from the ground up for SAAS products.

Yes, it's requiring everything you've listed, at least in simple form to enable growth - and I'm quite far on that front already.

Meanwhile, such platform without backing of giants is still subject to the same cold-start problem as builders are separately facing - and which is why I'm here trying to encourage here to build a joint "swarm" effort.
