Single-feature AI micro-tools (one verb, one search term: SVG converter, LaTeX converter, text-to-speech, PDF generation API): solo builder collects cash for 12 months, sells while last month's revenue is still ≥ TTM/12
Live Inspirational · the playbook (build it, collect cash, sell before it falls) First spotted 2026-11-02 · Last updated 2026-11-02
- Status
- Live (will fall: consumer-facing text tools were absorbed by LLMs first; developer APIs and hand-made tools last longer)
- Why now, and how long the window lasts
- A clear verb can be built in a week, and one search term brings SEO traffic. The window for a single tool is 12–24 months, and it starts to fall once ChatGPT / Gemini / Claude builds that verb into their products.
- Confidence
- Medium. 11 listings are all seller-filled; 10 uploaded a P&L. "Consumer text tools fall first" is inference, but the run-rates already show the direction. Would flip if the still-growing SVG / LaTeX listings drop below 1 next month, or if the falling humanizer / prompt tools rebound.
Evidence
Grouped by store. Each group starts with the charts that can be graphed (real curves, data dates below the chart), then the scanner's original notes and source links.

Already doing it
Those are the listings above; each verb has a cluster of same-named small sites (inferred).
The hardest step
Judge whether a model's next version will build this verb in, and time the sale right. Sellers commonly ask based on TTM; buyers look at last month.
Who it's for
Solo, subscription or usage-based; prefer developer APIs and manual / maker workflows (Cricut, laser, LaTeX) and avoid verbs like 'polish text'.
Should every product builder know this?
Yes. 'Look at last month before TTM' and 'sell when run-rate ≥ TTM/12' apply to anyone selling a product.
