Summary
Starter Story host Gus talks with Bogdan, a 28-year-old non-coder who built gettbook.ai, an AI tool that turns an idea into a complete ebook, from research and structure to writing, formatting and packaging. Bogdan says it brought in about $130,000 in under four months, with more than 1,700 paying customers and around 5,000 sign-ups.
The conversation covers the product and its pricing, which starts at $29 a month with credits sold as an upsell, plus tutorials and other digital products in the funnel. Bogdan explains that his first version was built with Lovable but became hard to manage as it grew, so he rebuilt it using Claude Code. His stack includes Supabase for authentication and database, Vercel for hosting, Resend for email, ChatGPT for research, and OpenAI and Gemini APIs for generation.
The episode also tackles the obvious objections: that it is just a ChatGPT wrapper and that it produces AI slop. Bogdan argues AI should replace repetitive work rather than original thinking, and admits that building fast without understanding the code creates messes quickly. The second half digs into the growth channels and marketing approach behind the revenue.
