Video transcript

This article explains how AI SaaS products are built, priced, funded, secured and launched.

AI SaaS is subscription software reached over the internet. Machine learning models work inside the product, not beside it. The intelligence and its feedback loop become part of the product.

SaaS is a recurring revenue model before it is an architecture. One month of churn can undo a year of new signups. Commercial choices should shape technical choices.

Validate an AI SaaS idea by getting a defined group to pay for one task. Start with a task a specific group already does by hand every week. A prototype tests output quality, while a minimum viable product tests monthly payment.
