Founder Ferhat Suat Erdogan shares the vision behind Ekofi: moving from software services into SaaS products, AI automation, and long-term software acquisitions. A solo founder episode about building, distribution, AI, and the future of small software companies.

For years, AI has been about predictions. Predict the next word. Predict the customer who’s most likely to churn. Predict the best time to send an email. But in 2025, AI has stepped beyond prediction and into action. That’s where agentic intelligence comes in. It’s not just about knowing — it’s about doing.

Welcome back to the podcast. Today, we’re going deep into the heart of one of the biggest changes happening in tech right now — the AI agent revolution. This isn’t just hype. It’s a real shift in how businesses operate, how teams work, and how decisions get made. And at the core of it all is a smarter kind of automation — powered by AI agents that can actually think, plan, and act.

Not too long ago, when we thought of AI, most people pictured simple chatbots. These bots lived on websites, answered FAQs, and maybe helped you reset a password. They were helpful, sure — but limited. Everything they said was scripted. They followed decision trees. If you went off-script, they usually broke down or gave you a generic response. They were rule-based, not intelligent.

Over the past few years, we’ve seen AI go from predictive tools and recommendation engines to generative models that can create content, code, and designs. But in 2025, the spotlight has moved toward autonomous AI agents — systems that don’t just generate or analyze, but actually take action. These agents can reason, make decisions, and interact with digital environments on their own. The differen...

The story of Lovable.dev is more than just a tale of productivity. It's a journey that blends artificial intelligence with creative ambition, reshaping what it means to build software. While many platforms focus on optimizing code or automating developer tasks, Lovable.dev took a different route—it asked how AI could support imagination. The result is a tool that doesn’t just make coding faster, b...

There’s a quiet revolution happening at the intersection of creativity and technology, and it’s being led by tools that don’t just make development faster—but more human. Create.xyz is one of those tools. It doesn’t try to replicate the developer experience in a browser. It reimagines what it means to build, create, and ship ideas digitally. The magic of Create.xyz lies in what can only be describ...

Building a digital project used to mean choosing between two extremes: either spend weeks learning how to code and deploy everything yourself, or pay someone else to do it. The journey from idea to reality was full of blockers—technical, financial, and creative. But that gap is disappearing fast. With Create.xyz , digital creativity is no longer limited by access to skills or resources. It's fluid...

Web development used to be a solo journey. One person behind a screen, tinkering with code, pushing updates, refreshing browsers. It was powerful, but it was also isolating—and often inaccessible. Over time, tools emerged to make building websites easier, but the process still relied heavily on technical know-how, version control systems, and often a maze of frameworks and files. Then came Create....

There’s been a surge of browser-based coding tools that look impressive at first glance. Many of them use ChatGPT under the hood, offering natural language prompts and AI-generated code snippets wrapped in sleek UIs. But once the novelty fades, users hit the limits quickly. These tools often feel like cleverly packaged demos—lightweight wrappers around code generators, not serious environments for...

The AI development space is crowded. From auto-complete tools embedded in IDEs to chat-based assistants that generate code from prompts, countless platforms promise to make developers more productive. But productivity isn’t just about writing code faster. It’s about building better things, more intuitively, and in less time. That’s where Bolt.new sets itself apart. While many tools are fighting to...

In a world where technology increasingly shapes every corner of life, the ability to build software is one of the most powerful skills you can have. But for decades, that power has been locked behind complex programming languages, steep learning curves, and years of experience.

Every so often, a product appears that doesn’t just improve an industry—it redefines the playing field . In the world of software development, Lovable.dev is that product. In just 60 days, it didn’t just go viral—it translated virality into a jaw-dropping $10 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR). And it’s not hard to see why.

Imagine this: you’ve just had a flash of inspiration. Maybe it’s a new productivity tool, a marketplace for creatives, or a platform to connect communities. Normally, that idea would sit in your notes app, waiting for the perfect moment—or the perfect developer—to bring it to life.

Software development is undergoing a revolution—one that’s powered by artificial intelligence, real-time iteration, and a bold reimagining of how products get built. At the heart of this revolution is Lovable.dev , a platform that doesn’t just enhance coding—it redefines it.
