Original Summary

I'm a full stack developer and I just launched Nenosource, my first SaaS. It's an AI assistant for small teams that answers questions from their own documents and shows the exact passages each answer came from. No revenue yet. It went live this month. Sharing a few decisions from building it, and I have one question at the end. I started with individuals, then switched to teams The first version was basically "chat with your documents" for anyone. That space is crowded, and one person asking questions about a PDF doesn't have much reason to pay. I rebuilt it around workspaces: the team shares the documents, everyone asks the same agent, but each person's conversations stay private. Citations are the product, not a feature In consulting or support work, a fast answer isn't enough. Someone still has to check it. So every answer keeps the passages it used, attached to the message, even if the document changes later. I measured cost per request before setting prices Every AI call is logged with its tokens and cost. I set plan limits from those numbers instead of guessing, so the free plan can't turn into a big bill. It also means everything runs on one server for now. I built the retrieval pipeline myself No LangChain or LlamaIndex. More work up front, but I control exactly how documents, sources and citations connect, which matters when citations are the main promise. Pricing: free plan, and team plans at $19, $49 and $149/month. My question: for those of you selling to small teams, did a free plan bring you real teams, or mostly solo users who never upgraded? I'm not sure mine is set up right. If you want to try it: https://nenosource.com Honest feedback is welcome, especially if the citations point to the wrong place.   submitted by   /u/Piyush__1 [link]   [comments]

中文概览

中文标题： 作为独立开发者，我刚发布首个SaaS；我把它从面向个人改为面向团队，原因如下

独立全栈开发者本月发布首个SaaS Nenosource，面向小团队的AI助手：基于团队自有文档作答并显示出处。最初面向个人，后改为按工作区组织团队，成员共享文档但对话私密。引用是核心产品，答案保留所用段落。定价前记录每次请求token与成本，据此设套餐限额；检索流程自建，未用LangChain/LlamaIndex。基础版免费，团队套餐19/49/149美元每月，尚无收入。作者问免费方案能否带来真实团队，还是只吸引不升级的个人。
