# 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.
