Indie team scales app to $20K MRR with in-house AI UGC platform, public launch soon

An indie developer reports that their portfolio app has been scaled to $20K monthly recurring revenue using an in-house AI UGC (user-generated content) platform, which they plan to release to the public soon.
The approach is notable: instead of just selling the tool, they validated it by running their own app's growth on AI-generated content first, then productizing the platform once the results proved out — a useful playbook for solo builders and small teams.
