Roast this idea: Build your MVP in 7 days using AI + solo dev (me)

I want to test a crazy idea and would love your honest feedback, especially if you think this is dumb, flawed, or already saturated.

Here’s the premise:

I’ve been building products for 15+ years. These days, with AI + my own internal tools, I can ship a full working product in about 7 days.
Frontend, backend, auth, AI integration, admin panel, hosted, the whole thing.

So I’m thinking of running an experiment:

Help 4 solo founders or early-stage entrepreneurs
Go from idea → working product
In 7 days
For a flat $2,500
Just me + AI + 7 weeks non-stop

Questions I’m wrestling with:

  • Is this actually valuable, or just a builder’s fantasy?
  • Would you ever pay for something like this?
  • Am I undercharging or overcharging?
  • What would make this 10x more attractive?
  • Is the speed even compelling, or is it just noise?

Would love to hear your take, feel free to tear it apart 😁

If you’re curious or want to be part of the test, DM me or comment.
But mostly I just want to know if this is worth pursuing.

Thanks everyone!

    Speed is awesome, but we’ve found that when you build features that involve long workflows or external systems, the backend resilience becomes the harder problem. Retrying safely and keeping state between stages can really dominate dev time. Anyone here use patterns for durable executions without complex infra?
