Building SaaS With AI Is Becoming a Community, Not Just My Journey
I have started turning the Build SaaS with AI journey into a public Facebook community, with practical Guides so members can follow the process, see real builds develop and learn from the decisions behind them.
One of the changes I have been making to the way I build in public is to make the journey easier for other people to follow rather than simply posting finished software after the event.
A new Build SaaS with AI community
I recently opened the Build SaaS with AI Facebook group. The idea is simple: share the real process of taking an idea, working through the problems, building the software with AI and then improving it from feedback.
I do not want it to become another group full of generic AI posts. I want members to be able to see what I am actually doing, why I make particular decisions, where things go wrong and how the finished apps change as a result.
Making the learning easier to follow
As the number of posts has grown, I have also started organising the useful material into Facebook Guides. These are there to give members a clearer route through the material instead of expecting them to piece the story together from a long stream of posts.
The Guides are intended to cover the practical side of following along: what is needed, how I approach an idea, how a member suggestion can become a real software build, what problems appear during development and what I learn from fixing them. The important part for me is that people can see the process rather than only the result.
Early engagement
It is still a small community, which at this stage is useful because conversations are easy to follow and feedback is direct. At the time of this update the group shows 26 members. Facebook Insights also shows 56 posts across the 23 July to 18 August engagement period, with activity spread through the month and several posts already producing multi-comment conversations.
I am more interested in that participation than in chasing a large member count. Some of the most useful posts so far have been the ones where a member describes a problem or an app idea and the discussion starts turning it into something practical.
Why this matters to the SaaSYeti journey
SaaSYeti started as my own collection of software ideas and experiments. The group is beginning to add another layer: people can now follow those experiments as they happen, suggest problems worth solving and see how AI can be used as part of a genuine development workflow.
That is the direction I want to keep developing: fewer claims about what AI might be able to build, and more real examples that people can inspect, discuss and learn from.
Follow the journey: join or view Build SaaS with AI on Facebook, then use the Guides section to follow the organised learning content.
