Pazi is an AI team that takes an idea (like a book, shop, app, or skill) and builds a team of agents to execute business operations tasks such as creating a website, performing outreach, generating content, and planning the next step. It positions itself as 'vibe coding for business operations', meaning users describe what they want and the AI progresses the project incrementally.

Problem signal

It appears to solve the problem of not knowing how to turn an idea into reality or feeling stuck on the execution side. Users may have recurring ideas but lack the time, direction, or team to make consistent progress.

Indie angle

Indie developers could use Pazi to rapidly prototype and execute business operations for their own side projects or ideas. The model could also be adapted for niche audiences (e.g., specific e‑commerce categories) or integrated into existing indie workflows as a co‑pilot.
