What happened
SaaStr's founder used Replit to build seven production apps, including a rebuilt website, a VC valuation calculator, an AI pitch analyzer, an AI mentor, an event site, and an automated speaker application grader. The grader replaced an outside agency that reviewed speaker submissions.
Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Replit and SaaStr, not ours.
- 334,835“It's been used 334,835 times in 30 days”
- 100,000“Used over 100,000 times, this tool incorporates 20 million words of SaaStr content”
- 4,000+“an automated system that instantly reviews and scores all 4,000+ annual speaker submissions”
Perhaps his most valuable build: an automated system that instantly reviews and scores all 4,000+ annual speaker submissions across five factors—speaker prominence, educational value, speaking tour status, media appearances, and more.
It automatically reviews all 4,000. We don't need the agency anymore. We're saving over $200,000 a year, which is interesting.
