I need [tool] for my own product, and existing options cost too much for a small team. Write a Lovable prompt for the smallest version: the core feature, one settings page, a pricing page with one plan, and a script tag customers paste into their site.

Full write-up & sources
What they did: Usama Khalid, a solo founder in Karachi, needed in-app messaging for his main product, ContentDrips, and found existing tools priced for much bigger teams. He built TinyPopups with Lovable, then moved to Cursor, mostly with Claude models. The first version took a weekend. He made the real decisions himself, including targeting logic, pricing and what to leave out, and even the marketing pages are AI-built.
Results: He reports his first paying customer, a healthcare company in Germany, plus a few clicks a day from Google with 82 indexed pages (X, Aug 22, 2026).
Worth knowing: Build the tool you already need. AI writes the code fast, but your calls on pricing and scope are what make it sellable.
