AI-first builder behind TrendFeed and CodeSpring, teaching non-coders to vibe code
About Sebastian Volkis
Sebastian Volkis is a young European founder who left an astrophysics path to build software businesses with AI. His first breakout was ChatIQ, a customer-service chatbot he put together in days, which reportedly passed 10,000 users and more than €9,300 in monthly revenue within two months before cheaper developer-built competitors squeezed it.
He then rebuilt his approach around generative AI coding tools and shipped TrendFeed, a tool that scans breaking news and surfaces stories likely to go viral so creators can turn them into short-form videos. He has said it was built almost entirely with AI in four days and earned about $12K in its first month.
Volkis now runs CodeSpring, a platform and course that helps non-technical people plan and build AI micro-SaaS products without getting lost or burning tokens. He grows it through Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and by mid-2025 Indie Hackers reported his products were bringing in roughly $29K per month combined.
