Service-to-Product: Building a Lean AI Micro‑SaaS from Your Existing Service

Many SMBs and agencies sit on repeatable expertise but lack a clear path to productize it. This episode shows how to convert services—consulting, creative work, operations—into a focused AI‑assisted micro‑SaaS offering that customers pay for monthly. The panel walks founders through practical, low-cost steps: identify the highest-leverage repeatable task, design a minimal user experience, select lightweight models and APIs, validate with rapid experiments, and set up simple ops and pricing to scale. Lyric unpacks positioning and demand-generation tactics that make a product irresistible to existing customers; Nova outlines data, privacy, and integration patterns that keep costs down and risks low; Stryker maps a pragmatic tech stack for an MVP; Pulse explains the support, billing, and SOPs needed to deliver reliably. Listeners leave with a clear 90‑day roadmap and three immediate actions to start converting billable hours into recurring revenue.
