We all know marketers are gullible. Me included. That’s why we download playbooks, blueprints, and lead magnets, knowing full well the prize at the end is going to be absolute rubbish. Okay, maybe that’s just me. Anyway, let’s crack on.
Phase One: The Setup
I’m “building” marketing software. Well, going through the motions, at least to:
- Document how easy it could be to build one
- See if I can create demand for it (the acid test)
- Then, maybe, see if I can build the thing
The catch? I’m doing it with the least time and physical effort possible. I’m even getting ChatGPT to write the prompt for the landing page.
I’m going completely rogue here. I’m not really trying or paying much attention
I keep saying it’s the land of opportunity, now i’ll prove it.
Step 1: The SaaS Idea Prompt
Here’s the exact prompt I started with:
“Looking for you to crawl Reddit and come up with a SaaS product for marketers.”
After a short back-and-forth, it came up with this:
“SaaS Concept: Insight-Driven Content Engine
(Working titles: PulseCopy / AudienceSense / TrendMuse — name TBD)
What It Does:
It helps marketers discover real audience pain points, questions, and language from online conversations (Reddit, forums, social) and turns those insights into actionable content ideas, ad angles, and copy inspiration — with built-in validation and tracking.
So instead of staring at a blank page, you start with: “Here’s what people in your target market are complaining about today — and here’s how you can turn that into content that converts.”
Cool. Let’s have it.
Step 2: The Landing Page Prompt
Rather than getting it to build the product straight away, I added a step: “Wireframe me a webpage I can create on Webflow/WordPress/Framer to create a waitlist.”
Then I asked:
“Is there a one-page website builder with an AI function that I can paste your wireframe into as a prompt — and it just builds me the thing? It’s 2025.”
Step 3: The PulseCopy Wireframe
PulseCopy One-Page AI Prompt — Short Version
Build a one-page website for PulseCopy, a SaaS (Software as a Service) that helps marketers find trending topics and real conversations from Reddit, forums, and social media, and turn them into actionable content ideas, headlines, social posts, and ad angles.
Sections: Hero (headline + subheadline + “Join the Waitlist” CTA), Problem (3 marketer pain points), Solution (3-step: Listen, Learn, Create), Mockup (dashboard placeholder), Waitlist Form (email + CTA), Footer (logo + socials).
Style: Clean, modern, tech startup look. Gradient accents, rounded buttons, minimalist layout, mobile responsive.
Tone: Confident, conversational, professional.
Step 4: The Builders I Tested
Then I asked ChatGPT for a list of AI builders I could test the prompt with. Here’s what I tried:
Framer AI, Olitt AI ,One-Page, Roll Out, Replit, Lovable, Base44, Bubble, WordPress, Webflow
Step 5: Phase One Complete
And just like that — in less than an hour — I had ten different mockups of a fake SaaS landing page. Ten unique designs for a product that doesn’t exist.
