Olivier Mamet shares his journey of pivoting from a failed investment in AI chatbots to successfully launching his own solution using bubble.io. Initially inspired by a blog post about generating $10K MRR with AI chatbots, he decided to offer a similar service through a white-label agreement, investing over $13K. However, he faced challenges as clients demanded extensive customizations that were not feasible within the existing framework. This led him to reassess the partnership, ultimately deciding to scrap his $20K investment, which included time and additional costs for customizations and advertising.
Mamet then turned to bubble.io, which allowed him to rapidly develop a new solution tailored to his designs and ideas. Within three weeks of this decision, he launched his product in March 2024 and achieved $1K MRR. He is currently testing his tool with three large companies, which could potentially increase his revenue to $10K MRR soon. His tech stack includes Bubble, Pinecone, Open AI, and Claude. He invites feedback on his tool, Chat Whisperer, which specializes in generating custom-trained AI assistants and chatbots.
