i think it was
@levelsio who recently mentioned that he projects saas becoming more and more of a get-rich-quick scheme type business
meaning you quickly hop on a new trend, milk it, and move on
well, i just spoke with someone (he wanted to buy hosted accounts from us to do what i'm about to share) & it's already happening
BUT IN DROPSHIPPING
he showed me this account as an example, so hear me out:
the game in dropshipping has now evolved to taking listings from chinese supplier sites
then, you start accounts on insta and tiktok (the reason he wanted to speak was for scaling this) where you test a given product with ai content (his stack was gpt image 2 and seedance 2)
once something hits escape velocity, i.e., you have a viral video and people are asking for the product / not realizing it's ai, he quickly creates a store
there are many saas products, like
@LoicBerthelot dropmagic, where you can quickly spin up new stores to then start fulfilling those orders
the wild thing was that almost his entire setup was automated with hermes agent
he had a bot that constantly scraped, surfaced, and analyzed listings
another one to auto message multiple suppliers to get the best deal
and so on and so forth
pretty wild
