Some time ago I built a transcription app using AI. It worked, but became hard to maintain and extend.
So I rebuilt it from scratch, this time with a structured AI-assisted system:
- PRD → Architecture → API boundaries → UI slices - Org-scoped ownership + proper separation of concerns - Usage limits + monetization (subscriptions + credit packages) - AssemblyAI integration with configurable features
The result: a fully working, monetized SaaS built with a repeatable process.
And I documented the entire system: Full Breakdown
If you’re building AI-powered products and want to do it properly (not just vibe-code), I’d love to connect.
