I’m Tatsuya. 43 years old. Zero coding skills. Running a fully automated AI blog for $57/month.
This is not a tech blog written by a developer.
I’m a solopreneur based in Japan. I have no programming background. I can’t write code from scratch.
And yet — I built a system that automatically finds AI tool topics, writes full articles using Claude API, and publishes them to WordPress, dev.to, and X simultaneously. Every day. Without me touching it.
My only job: 30 seconds of approval each morning.
Why This Blog Exists
When I started searching for “how to automate a blog with AI,” everything I found was either:
Written by developers who skipped the hard parts
Theoretical guides with no real cost breakdowns
Success stories with no mention of what broke
I couldn’t find a single honest account from someone non-technical doing this in production.
So I became that person.
What You’ll Actually Find Here
Real cost breakdowns.
I run this on a Contabo Windows VPS + Claude API + a few other tools. Total: $57/month. I’ll tell you exactly what each dollar goes to.
What breaks. Constantly.
Something goes wrong almost every day. I document it. That’s the useful part.
Reviews written from automation experience.
Every AI tool I cover, I evaluate through one lens: can a non-technical solopreneur actually use this to save time? Not “is this impressive tech.” Not “what do developers think.”
No fake success metrics.
Visitor count, revenue, days running — I publish the real numbers. Right now: 62 visitors, $0 revenue, Day 44. I’m not hiding it.

Who This Is For
You’re a solopreneur, freelancer, or side-hustler. You’re not a developer. You’re tired of “just use AI!” advice that assumes you can read Python error messages.
This blog is for people who want to build real automation systems — not demos, not tutorials — and are willing to hear the honest version of what that looks like.

If you have questions about the system, open an issue on GitHub or find me on Threads.
This blog is written with the help of Claude API. The strategy, decisions, failures, and real numbers are all mine.
