Hey IH,
I need to vent for a second.
Last month, I tracked where my time actually went. The result? 6+ hours every week on the same repetitive nonsense:
Summarizing user feedback from 5 different sources
Generating weekly analytics reports
Creating content briefs from competitor research
Formatting meeting notes into action items
I felt like I was running a SaaS... but also working as my own intern 🤡
I'm a solo founder. Every hour I spend on repetitive tasks is an hour NOT spent on product, customers, or growth.
I tried:
Hiring a VA (expensive, training overhead)
Zapier + ChatGPT (context switching hell, 4 different subscriptions)
Doing it myself (burnout city)
Then a friend showed me Springbase.ai's recipe feature.
Here's the magic: You build a "recipe" once. It chains together AI models, automation steps, and your knowledge base. Then you run it with one click.
My "User Feedback Digest" recipe:
Pull feedback from Intercom, Twitter, email
Categorize by feature request, bug, praise
Summarize top themes
Format into a Notion-ready report
Email me the summary
Time spent: 30 seconds to click "run." Before: 90 minutes every Monday morning.
I now have 10 recipes running my solo operation:
Weekly analytics report
Content repurposing (blog → Twitter thread)
Customer research summaries
Meeting prep docs
Onboarding email sequences
The kicker? It's $9.99/month. One subscription replacing ChatGPT, Claude, Otter, Zapier, and Notion AI.
If you're a solo founder drowning in operational tasks, this might be your lifeline.
Happy to share my recipe templates if anyone's interested. Drop a comment.
Keep building
