coverlettergpt VS SaaS-Template-GPT

Also, my first simple SaaS app, CoverLetterGPT.xyz, which I launched in March 2023, currently has 83 customers and makes $434 per month! Nothing crazy, but something I’m still proud of. (Btw, if you want to check out how I built it, it’s open-source!)

Open SaaS is still very new, but there are a couple that used the "old" version of it, which basically gave us an idea for Open SaaS. For example:

- CoverLetterGPT (https://coverlettergpt.xyz/) - generate a cover letter based on your CV and job description

- Etsy description generator (this one even got acquired): https://dev.to/wasp/from-idea-to-exit-building-and-selling-a...

AI is making new app ideas possible, which is partly why we’re seeing a resurgence in developer interest in creating SaaS apps. As I mentioned above, the first SaaS app I built, CoverLetterGPT, is one of those “GPT Wrappers”, and I’m proud to say it makes a nice passive income of ~$350 MRR (monthly recurring revenue).

CoverLetterGPT - the perfect starting spot for an AI-powered SaaS

Below, I’m going to share with you how I built it (yes, it’s open-source!), how I marketed and monetized it, along with a bunch of helpful resources to help you build your own profitable side-project.

If you’re interested in building something similar, I would recommend checking a related tool: CoverLetterGPT.

Hey there. I launched https://CoverLetterGPT.xyz to help people on their job search. It generates unique cover letters based on your resume/cv and the job description and allows you to further revise and manage them.

command to create a new Wasp application. I have chosen the basic template, but you are free to create a project of your choosing, e.g. SaaS starter with GPT, Stripe and more preconfigured. As shown in the screenshot, we should change the current directory of our project to the proper one and then run our project with it.

By the way, If you’re interested in building your own SaaS with almost the same stack as above, I also built a free SaaS template you can use that will save you days of work!

The problem of writing convincing product listings in English caught Max’s attention. He was aware of ChatGPT and how useful it could be for this. However, being a backend engineer with limited frontend experience, building a full-stack app around it and choosing and configuring all parts of the stack himself sounded daunting and laborious. It wasn’t until he came across Wasp’s GPT Starter for React & Node.js that he felt ready to take action.

💡Tip If you're looking for a quick way to start your project, check out our Ultimate SaaS Starter. It packs Tailwind, GPT, Stripe and other popular integrations, all pre-configured for you.

As a bonus, I also give a quick introduction to the free SaaS template I created for building your own SaaS app, with or without GPT, on the PERN stack (PostgreSQL/Prisma, Express, React, NodeJS).

I made one that’s entirely free: https://github.com/wasp-lang/SaaS-Template-GPT

I just created a fullstack template with Stripe checkout built on top of the PERN stack (Postgres/prisma, ExpressJS, React, Node) https://github.com/wasp-lang/SaaS-Template-GPT
