19-year-old no-code developer makes $11,200 a month with an AI video editing app

A 19-year-old student and independent no-code developer used AI programming tools to build an AI video editing app, reaching $11,200 in MRR (about 80,000 RMB) over the past 4 weeks, with about 400 paying users. The product offers automatic highlight detection, segment cutting, burned-in subtitles, viral-potential scoring, and one-click distribution; subscriptions come in three tiers at $9/$39/$99, and customer acquisition relies on spending 45 minutes a day replicating proven viral formats, at a monthly cost of about $15. Competitors in its space have raised about 360 million RMB and have teams of over a hundred people.
