PM builds a real SaaS in 24 hours with AI agents, sharing his full zero-cost stack
PawelHuryn · x · 2026-09-21
PM Pawel Huryn argues you don't need to code as a PM, but understanding engineering is what gets you hired — and the best way to learn is building. He recently live-built askone.org, a Slido alternative, spending just 3-4 hours of his own time while agents implemented and tested for about 24 hours.
His recommended near-zero-cost stack:
- GitHub: repo, branches, migrations, releases
- Supabase: app data, cron jobs, edge functions
- Clerk: free auth, user/org management, plans and permissions
- Stripe: payments and invoices
- Netlify: free hosting, DNS, DDoS protection, rate limiting, basic WAF
- GoDaddy: custom domain
- Next.js + React + Tailwind CSS: UI
- Resend: transactional email that avoids spam folders
- Microsoft Clarity: free session recordings and heatmaps
Takeaway: with agents, a non-engineer can ship a real paid product in a day.
