Intro to Claude Code
How I Built a $300K SaaS in Just 30 Days
Author: Tomofumi Torii
Available on Gumroad (PDF / DOCX)
Overview
On February 5, 2026, the author began building a commercial service using only Claude Code as a development partner. No human team. 30 days later, MediLens Intelligence was born — a platform delivering personalized medical literature reviews to physicians worldwide every morning.
Building an equivalent system traditionally would require a team of 16, seven months, and approximately $300,000. This book is a business book that openly shares the complete record — successes and failures alike.
This is not a technical manual. It is a firsthand account of building a production-ready commercial service by deeply understanding an industry's challenges and giving precise instructions to AI.
