ShipWithAI #11 — Turn Repetitive Client Work Into a Productized Feature in One Day

posted Originally published at shipwithai.substack.com 1 min read

Turn your manual consulting tasks into a repeatable, sellable AI-powered workflow. Perfect for indie devs, PMs, and engineers building solo SaaS tools.

Steps:
• Review 5–10 past client jobs and list the inputs, decisions, and outputs.
• Find the 80% of steps that repeat across projects — that’s your core feature.
• Sketch a simple pipeline: Input → Validation → AI Judgment → Output.
• Separate rule-based logic from AI steps, and wrap AI calls with guardrails.
• Expose one clean contract — an API route or upload UI with job tracking.
• Add basic metering and pricing (e.g., per file or per job) to start charging.

Gotchas:
• Don’t chase edge cases — they kill your launch speed.
• Don’t skip validation or monitoring — AI without guardrails breaks trust fast.

Do this today:
• Pick one deliverable you’ve repeated at least twice.
• Write its input → steps → output on a page.
• Draft your first pipeline and test it with one real user.
