I use Cursor almost every day for the last ~2 years and I’ve built some pretty advanced workflows, apps, scrapers, dashboards, websites, and automations with AI. The problem is, I still feel behind. Not because I can’t build. I can build way more than I used to. The problem is that AI has created this constant feeling that there’s some obvious money-making opportunity I’m missing. Every day there’s a new tool, new agent framework, new automation idea, new SaaS idea, new “AI agency” angle, and new person claiming they made money with something simple. It creates this weird pressure where even when I’m building useful things, I feel like I’m building the wrong thing and that my possible ROI is diminishing day by day. I’m trying to figure out the difference between: something cool something useful something people will actually pay for something I can realistically sell and maintain For those of you who use AI heavily and have actually turned it into income, what was the turning point? Did you stop chasing product ideas and start doing client work? Did you niche down hard? Did you build around a problem you already understood? Did you ignore SaaS entirely at first? I’d especially like to hear from people who felt overwhelmed despite using AI daily. How did you get focused? submitted by /u/shatteringreality2
