Anyone operates a profitable bot/AI?
Hi - does anyone here operate a bootstrapped bot or AI and makes profit? If so, can you tell more about your business?

Yep! I built Dependabot, a GitHub bot that creates pull requests for you to update your dependencies. Bootstrapped and now at $6k MRR.
Did an Indie Hackers interview here.
Really great idea... how long did it take to ramp up to 6k?
Thanks Kyle! It's 10 months since I launched Dependabot now, and it grows by about 20% a month. Not a quick road to success, but it's been really satisfying.
Love the idea, congrats!
I built https://www.checkbot.io/. It mimics a search bot to crawl your site for SEO, speed and security problems, but the term bot is being used more for chat bots now. 😅
That's a really nice service. Would you be willing to share (or at least indicate) your MRR and time to get there? :)
Thanks, I'll do an article on here in the near future I think. I only started taking payments last week so I need some time to see what the monthly average is going to be.
