I Built a SaaS MVP with Next.js 16 + AI Agents in 21 Hours — Here's Part 1

Let's be honest: most coding tutorials are useless for production.

They show you how to npx create-next-app and build a to-do list. Then you're on your own when real problems hit — auth flows, rate limiting, AI integration that isn't just calling an API once.

I've been a freelance dev for 10 years. I've shipped real SaaS products. And I wanted to create the kind of content I wish I had when I was starting out.

What's in Part 1:

• Setting up a Next.js 16 project with production architecture (not just /app/page.tsx)
• Integrating AI agents into real workflows — not a chatbot gimmick
• Building patterns that scale beyond "it works on localhost"
• The unedited, uncut process — bugs, decisions, and all

Why 21 hours?
Because that's what a focused MVP sprint actually looks like. No cuts, no "and then magic happens" edits.
