A developer shared a profit case using Cursor to build a Grok bot: after subscribing to Cursor ($60/mo), they created a speed-to-lead bot. When an inbound lead requested a $999 AI assessment, the bot responded, answered two questions, and sent a Stripe link, resulting in immediate payment. This is highlighted as an example of independent developers leveraging AI tools for rapid monetization.
