I love building stuff. Not just software and apps - I love actually building physical stuff and seeing how all the pieces come together. Assembling Ikea furniture is my zen zone. The main problem I have with Ikea is that the instructions are in hieroglyphics, but this is easily fixed if you have pretty good spatial reasoning, a tape measure, and a connection to Youtube. :)
The main problem I have experienced in building tech stuff is not as easily solved though. Let me rephrase - the main problem is not with the building stage at all. It's the build - launch - crickets cycle. The crickets are what bothers me, and as an introvert who prefers building stuff to marketing myself online, the crickets have prevented a launch from success more than once for me.
So I decided to build a solution, and go all-in on getting it out there to founders who also have been hit with the plague of crickets (locusts?) post-launch. Bonai is a launch platform for founders who are tired of duct taping a launch stack together and then hustling non-stop to get eyes on the product. With Bonai, you get everything you need to actually launch your site with quality online content in multiple high authority platforms for your niche, and then weekly ongoing AI search visibility audits and calibrated SEO/AEO content for recurring posts in the top 4-5 relevant communities.
I have put the MVP together, and it's currently in testing to work out some bugs before going live. Bonai has two tiers - free forever and paid at $49/month (locked in for founding members). The paid tier includes domain registration (free .com for first 20 founders) and hosting, site builder, the content launch package and directory listing drafts (anywhere from 20-100 quality directories depending on your business niche), and ongoing SEO/AEO content for compounding growth, based on actual audit results for your brand and written in your voice. The free tier includes an initial launch package of 3 launch posts, 3 directory listing drafts, structured AEO site data (JSON-LD schema, llms.txt, robots.txt etc.), and access to a limited version of the AI audit, to be run manually by the user 1/month. This is the only platform I've seen so far that includes both the moment of site launch and the "what comes after" - automation of the post-launch visibility hustle so you get quality content tailored for posting in all the right places.
The actual posting can only be automated completely for your own site blog if you decide; other third party platforms require your review and active copy-paste posting of the Bonai-generated content. This ensures human in the loop accountability, accurate brand representation, and compliance with platforms that often don't allow automated content posting.
I am really excited about this product, I feel like it could help lots of founders get traction, and I can't wait to go live. Would love to hear your feedback, and if any of you are interested in getting the link when it's live, let me know in the comments.
Hey, I read your post about Bonai.
I really like the idea of solving the “build → launch → crickets” problem. That’s something a lot of solo builders struggle with.
I’m currently working on an AI media platform (image + video generation with credit system) and we’re also focusing heavily on helping creators actually get visibility and usage after launch.
Would love to explore if there’s any overlap in how we can help each other or share feedback on early growth strategies.
Hey thanks! Your platform sounds really interesting, and sure would love to chat and see if there's any overlap, you can DM me on Twitter @buildingoggles or email at alex.badar@admatilabs.tech
Hey Alex,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your contact — really appreciate the opportunity to connect with you directly.
Looking forward to staying in touch.
Best regards.
