152 App Ideas With The Build Prompt Already Written

canivibecodeit.com lists 976 software tools and asks the same thing about every one of them πŸ‘‡

can AI build you a replacement today, or is it still worth paying for?

152 got a straight yes. Each one comes with a copy-paste prompt, an honest list of what you'd lose, and a note on why people still pay.

The verdicts are savage πŸ‘€

Linktree Pro, $15/month...

A static page. The most obviously one-shottable thing on this list.

Senja, $29/month...

A form, an embed widget, and a wall page. $300/yr for what is essentially a guestbook.

Cronitor, $10/month...

A hundred lines of code wearing a SaaS badge.

The site makes its own point – Rob Hallam says he vibecoded the whole thing in five hours 🀯

Treat it as an idea list rather than a shopping list. Every green verdict is a tool people are already paying for monthly, so you're not guessing whether there's demand 😎

511K Followers From AI Soap Operas About Footballers

πŸ“ Francis Zierer fell down a rabbit hole after finding an AI-generated crime drama starring the world's most famous footballers…

I shared the video with three separate group chats – "This is insane," I wrote. … "I want to unsee that," one friend wrote back.

The account is @godaresai – 511K followers. Its first post: a rich Messi on an inflatable orca, a broke Ronaldo crying in an empty pool.

It took seven videos to crack a million views. Then came a run of 45, every one over a million 🀯

Here's the whole recipe πŸ‘‡

  • Ask ChatGPT for a viral-ready concept, then describe each shot and generate a still image
  • Feed those stills back in as reference images, so your characters look the same in every scene
  • Drop the stills into Kling AI to animate them
  • Add generated voices and music, export, post

That reference-image step is what makes it a series instead of 12 different Messis. Kling's free daily credits cover a test run.

Francis walked in at episode 11 and kept watching. The format does the work, not the AI.

So pick a niche with die-hard fans – football, wrestling, whatever – then invent your own cast to star in it πŸ”₯

(Borrowed faces can bring copyright trouble, so original characters is the smarter long-term play. Or use IP that's entered the public domain.)

24K Visitors, $0 Spent: A Live Election Site Built in 2 Days

The official Tamil Nadu election results sites were a mess, so Karthikeyan Gopal built his own with AI as his coding partner – then wrote up how.

On why he bothered...

I wanted to see if I could build a better results site than what exists (everything out there is ad-ridden, slow, and unusable on mobile).

He gave himself one rule πŸ‘‡

The constraint: spend nothing. Zero hosting, zero domain, zero database.

A Python script on his laptop scraped all 234 official results pages every 2 minutes and pushed them to Cloudflare's free tier. The global CDN served everyone. AI wrote the code; he decided what to ship.

Then counting day hit πŸ‘€

  • 24,000 visitors
  • 430,000 requests
  • 24 countries
  • $0 spent

He cut it close with the free-tier limit 🀯

My scraper used 997 writes that day. The free tier limit is 1,000. Three writes to spare.

Two days of work, plus 60+ tweaks pushed live as people requested features mid-count.

The playbook: find a timely event with slow, ugly official data – a local election, a sports bracket – and vibe-code a cleaner live tracker on free hosting. Monetize with ads or affiliate links once the traffic shows up πŸ”₯

He Made $20K Selling an App That Didn’t Exist

Get Paid $15-25/Hour to Film Yourself Doing Chores

πŸ“ A Reddit user spotted DoorDash's new Tasks app…

Doordash Task is paying $15-$25/hour for doing basic chores.... Basically you're training Ai to take our jobs in the future... it's pretty good money for doing things you already have to do.

They mail you a free head mount. You strap your phone to it, film yourself loading the dishwasher or folding laundry, and the footage trains AI and robots πŸ€–

Best part πŸ‘‡

It's also paid by time and not task, so you want the task to take longer. Max time is usually 20mins and you'll most likely never reach the 20mins because it doesn't take that long to take out the trash or load a dishwasher for example.

So people stretch it. One person filled a bathtub with a bucket to make "pouring liquids" last the full 20 minutes.

πŸ€‘ Easy money, but earnings are modest – one reviewer reports $160 from 30 videos, another $50 in their first week.

It's live in 34 US states, no California, New York or Texas yet.

Everywhere else, Atlas Capture is running the same play worldwide 😎

$750 a Pop Selling Other People’s Stuff

πŸ“ Amer Arab spent weeks selling everything he owned before an international move, and decided the tools were the problem. So he built ClearList.

You photograph each item. AI writes the title, description, price and dimensions, then drops the lot onto one shareable page where buyers reserve what they want and book their own pickup slot – no messages to answer.

He says the pricing lands...

within 10 to 15% of where I would have landed after doing 20 minutes of Facebook Marketplace research, except it takes about 30 seconds.

πŸ’° He listed his own apartment – 46 items – in 10 minutes. A 200-item pass costs $39, one time, no subscription.

Now look at the competition. Commission on a small estate sale can run to 50%, and the average sale grosses $18K.

Companies will turn down a job they reckon is too small. So do it for the families they turn away. 😎

Buy the pass, photograph a client's house in an afternoon, let the AI write and price every listing, then run the sale off one link.

Take 15% instead of 50% and a $5,000 clearout looks like this πŸ‘‡

  • You: $750, minus the $39 pass
  • Them: $4,250 instead of $2,500

Still beats every liquidator in town 😎

$850 in 30 Days Selling AI Ads to Local Businesses

A broke 23-year-old grad tried ecomm, freelance, and websites. Nothing stuck.

Then he tried an experiment he saw on Reddit…

πŸ“ He writes…

Make 100 short ai ad concepts for local businesses and send them directly to the owners... Just make the actual thing first and send it.

No pitch. Just the finished ad, made with AI, sent cold.

He targeted med spas, gyms, and dentists – they already run promos but their creative is weak.

The funnel from 100 sends πŸ‘‡

  • 19 replied
  • 8 asked the price
  • 2 bought
  • 2 became monthly retainers

First month: $850. He charges $150–250 per ad, or $400–750/month for a batch of 4–6.

What surprised him: local businesses replied way more than ecommerce brands πŸ‘€

His biggest lesson though – stop leading with "AI"…

When I said "AI ad," people either ignored it or treated it like some cheap gimmick. When I said "short-form ad concept," they understood it immediately.

Build something useful, show it first, and don't make the tool the headline.

Run this play in any local niche with money and weak ads 😎
