How Fast Can You Build a Niche Directory With AI?

Kirill Zubovsky built a working niche directory in 15 minutes for about $2 in AI credits.

The demo is a local service finder for emergency plumbers in Boise, Idaho, on emergencylocalservices.com. A visitor can open a business website from a listing or start a call. The project was saved and sent to production so emergencylocalservices.com would be ready to check after the episode. Open source means everybody can use the build without having to rebuild it. The work took 15 minutes and about $2 in AI credits. The same directory can go on 10 different domains, and findlocalhomeservices.com was another domain bought during the conversation.

A single finished directory can be reused across many web addresses instead of being rebuilt for each one.
