Show HN: My attempt to get Claude to run a business

https://pagecritic.app/
1•diegoaad•1h ago
On Sunday, I decide to give it a try and asked Claude to come up with a business idea and run it.

I installed it in an Ubuntu VPS, setup some accounts like Stripe, Cloudflare and let it decide on the idea, stack, promotion, etc.

It created this app: https://pagecritic.app/ that let people evaluate their landing page and scores it on 7 different items, evaluating things like clarify, value prop, CTA and so on.

You can try it for free and get a reduced report, or pay for a full report (first few HN users would be able to get full report for free as well).

The idea was interesting, it was able to build it pretty fast and get it up and running.

I had to help with some account setup, but it basically tried in different ways to launch/promote the app, but distribution is definitely a problem for agent run business.

It can do decent job on get it up and running and react to failures, but in my opinion is not really able to promote the business by itself.

I gave it a channel to Telegram, so it can always ask me for things on Telegram and it did ask for money to pay for advertising it in some launch boards. But still it's not able to really drive much traffic.

The nice thing it did was to make the whole journey public, so you can see it's journal: https://pagecritic.app/journal and some live numbers: https://pagecritic.app/stats

For folks who did similar experiment, has anyone been able to get some substantial revenue out of it? Or this only works if you're an influencer with thousands of followers?
