AI accelerates building but does not solve marketing and distribution

April 7, 2026r/solopreneur, r/Entrepreneur, r/IndieHackers

Across r/solopreneur, r/Entrepreneur, and others, builders agree AI can speed up shipping, but getting customers still takes months and often requires positioning, timing, and trust building rather than more features.

You can build dramatically faster now, up to a point, but marketing things (outside of the ease of spamming with AI) hasn’t change
I've seen this pattern play out with multiple projects now where the build takes weeks but getting anyone to actually care takes months.
The distribution problem is especially brutal in B2B because the people who need your tool aren't necessarily the ones scrolling Product Hunt or LinkedIn.
The tech was fun; distribution in a zerotrust mess was the punch in the face.
Give it more time. Most of the ideas start to work after 3 to 6 months.
