You bring the industry. We bring the AI.
What the platform does, and what you do. Nothing in between.
- 01
Hosting and runtime
Your AI runs on our infra. You never touch a server.
01Pick your industry
One niche you already understand or already sell into.
- 02
Cloud computers
Sandboxed VMs for any task the AI needs to do.
02Talk to customers
Sit with them. Watch. Translate the work to the AI.
- 03
Chat interface
A ready-to-use UI your customers already know how to use.
03Close the deal
Sell direct, through your network, or via the marketplace.
- 04
Payments
We bill the customer. Stripe routes the payout to you.
04Own the revenue
Keep the customer relationship and keep the income.
Why this works.
Your industry is the moat.
Insiders know the buyer, the pain, and the price. AI vendors cold-calling that industry can't catch up.
We built the hard part.
Hosting, runtime, cloud computers, chat UI, and Stripe. You skip the engineering, the DevOps, and the merchant account.
Cash from week two.
Operators close their first customer fast. $1,000+/mo by the end of the first quarter. Top earners clear $10K/mo.
What’s an indie FDE?
A Forward Deployed Engineer is the operator who designs, sells, and ships a working AI tool for one industry. They sit close to the customer and own the outcome end to end.
indie FDE means you do that solo. One person, one industry, one revenue line.
Indie hackers made small SaaS in 2015 to 2024. Indie FDEs sell AI in 2026 onward. Same indie spirit. Different product. Closer to the customer.
Start earning in four steps.
No funding round, no co-founder, no engineering team. Most builders ship their first AI tool in a weekend.
Step 01Sit with a customer
Observe a real workflow in the industry you know. Pick the task someone already pays a human to do.
Step 02Teach your AI
Use our chat UI to walk the AI through the workflow. No code. Try it against real customer data.
Step 03Deploy in one click
Push to main. Our server automatically builds, tests, and deploys your agent to production.
Step 04Get paid
Sell direct, through your network, or list on the marketplace. Stripe pays you out automatically.
$50/month flat. We take a cut on revenue you earn.
