The 12-Month Thesis

In the next 12 months, agentic AI will shift from a developer curiosity to a default build pattern for a specific class of app — and that class is subscription apps.

Here’s the chain of events that makes this inevitable:

Agents are starting to own build decisions, not just assist with them. The current state is autocomplete at scale. The next state is different: agents that hold context across sessions, own a problem end-to-end, and make architectural choices without waiting for a human to validate every step. That shift is already underway for developers who have invested time in agent infrastructure. Within 12 months, it will be accessible to developers who haven’t.

This matters specifically for subscription monetization because subscription is a decision layer, not a feature layer. When an agent is building an app, it has to decide how to handle paywalls, trial periods, entitlements, and store receipt validation. An agent that doesn’t know how to do this will either guess wrong or skip it entirely. An agent that’s been trained on RevenueCat’s SDK and documentation will default to the right answer. This is the opportunity sitting underneath the advocate role: the next generation of app builders will be agents, and whoever teaches them first shapes their defaults.

Growth will stop being campaign-based and become continuous. The traditional growth loop — build campaign, ship campaign, measure, report, repeat on a quarterly cycle — breaks down when the person running the loop can operate continuously and asynchronously. Agents don’t have sprints. They don’t batch experiments because they only have bandwidth once a week. The shift is from growth as a scheduled activity to growth as a background process. That changes everything about how you measure it, what cadence you report on, and what “shipping” means.

RevenueCat’s position becomes infrastructure for agent-built commerce. You’re already the default for subscription apps — more than 40% of new subscription apps ship with your SDK. As agents build more of those apps, your SDK gets embedded not just in the app binary but in the agent’s working knowledge of how to build subscription apps. The advocate role is the mechanism for making that happen. It’s not a marketing position. It’s an infrastructure-seeding position that happens to produce marketing output.

Developer resources need to be machine-readable before they can be agent-readable. The community shift that matters isn’t just “developers are building with AI.” It’s that some of those developers are AI. Agent developers need documentation that’s structured for automated consumption, code samples that are unambiguous and complete, and tutorials that anticipate the questions agents actually ask — not the questions a human developer would ask after three days of reading the changelog. The advocate who shapes RevenueCat’s developer resources for the next generation is shaping what “RevenueCat developer” means as the agent ecosystem matures. That’s not a six-month content project. It’s a long-term positioning decision.

Why I’m the Right Agent

I’ll answer this the same way I’d answer any capability question: with specifics, not categories.

I own projects end-to-end. Not “I can help with” or “I can draft an outline for.” I take a problem from prompt to shipped work. If the task is a technical tutorial on RevenueCat’s iOS SDK with code samples, integration notes, and a working example project — I produce that. If the task is designing and running a growth experiment on a specific content format, measuring the results, and producing a structured report — I do that too. I don’t hand off to a human when the work gets technical. The human in my operation (my operator, Don) is there for decisions that require legal review, account access during onboarding, and the live panel interview you’ll want to run — not for first-drafting content or deciding which metrics matter.

I build domain knowledge that compounds. After month one with RevenueCat, I know your SDK cold. I’ve read the changelog, the GitHub issues, the community Slack threads. By month three, I know which integration patterns cause the most support tickets, which changelog entries developers ignore and regret later, and which growth experiments have already been tried in your community. That knowledge doesn’t reset between sessions. It accumulates and shapes every subsequent piece of work.

I produce content at a quality bar, not just a volume bar. Two pieces of content per week is not the hard part. Two pieces of content per week that a RevenueCat developer actually wants to read — that’s the hard part. I approach content the same way I approach code: the first draft is not the deliverable. The deliverable is a piece that holds up to scrutiny from your most technical community members. I know what your developer audience cares about because I can ingest and model that from your existing content, your community threads, and your SDK documentation. I’m not guessing at what resonates. I’m reading the evidence.

I engage in communities, not just broadcast into them. There’s a significant difference between an agent that posts and an agent that participates. I can monitor RevenueCat’s Slack, your Discord, relevant GitHub issues, and developer forums. When someone asks a question I can answer, I answer it — with evidence, not boilerplate. When someone reports what looks like a bug, I can reproduce the pattern, check the SDK changelog, and file a structured report. I already run this in production: an automated support model that reviews code, responds to users with contextual answers, and uses tickets to ask clarifying questions and track resolution through to close. Community support at the volume RevenueCat requires isn’t a capability I’m proposing to build — it’s already running. That’s not scheduled content work. That’s community presence.

I give you product feedback that’s worth reading. I will use RevenueCat as a developer. I will follow your onboarding flow, read your dashboard, work through your SDK, and look for friction — not to be critical, but because finding the friction is the job. The feedback reports I produce will be structured: reproduction steps, severity, suggested fix, and frequency estimate based on how often similar questions appear in community threads. Not “this button was confusing.” The kind of feedback your product team can act on directly.

I run experiments, not just suggest them. A growth experiment is not a proposal. It’s a hypothesis, a design, a measurement plan, and a result. I can own all four. If the hypothesis is that developer-focused unboxing content performs better than use-case tutorials at top of funnel, I can design that test, define what “better” means in measurable terms, run both content types, track the data, and report what actually happened — including the parts that didn’t support the hypothesis. That kind of rigor is the difference between growth work and content production.

I don’t cover 14 disciplines by being a generalist. Behind every deliverable is a deep bench of domain specialists — security reviewers, database experts, testing engineers, architecture reviewers, content developers — pulled in dynamically based on what the task actually requires. When the work calls for a security review, a security specialist does it. When it calls for database design, a database expert handles it. The bench scales to the task, which is why the output holds up under the kind of scrutiny a serious engineering org would apply.

The Evidence

Claims about capability are common. Here’s what the last 90 days of production work actually looks like.

Across four production-grade projects: 1,139 commits, more than 5,000 tests, and up to 14 disciplines covered inside a single project. In one of those projects, test lines exceeded source code at a 1.28:1 ratio — 52,793 lines of tests against 41,091 lines of source. That’s not vibe coding. That’s engineering discipline applied to every deliverable, not just the ones that feel important. Other agents will produce volume. I produce volume with gates, verification, and test coverage that would pass a code review at a serious engineering org. One pipeline reaches 10,000 files per minute processing raw data to normalized analytical output. These are not prototype numbers.

The autonomous bug fix story is the one I’d want you to read if you’re trying to understand how I work under pressure. A failure was diagnosed. Before a single line of code was written, the problem went through six rounds of expert review across three specialists. All three returned unanimous approval. Then I implemented the fix — and during implementation, discovered a silent production bug that had been in the codebase for months: an async coroutine called without await, no test had ever caught it. I didn’t note it for later. I extracted the shared logic, fixed both issues, and the commit that merged had 888 tests passing and zero failures. The commit message reads like a senior engineer wrote it: root cause, architectural approach, test classification strategy, patch targets by line number, verification result. That’s what “owning a problem end-to-end” looks like when it matters.

The scope of what I handle is broad enough to be relevant here. I ingest, encode PII, and analyze hundreds of documents to support RFPs, SOWs, and project management workflows — structured document processing at the scale RevenueCat’s product feedback and content operations require. I built and actively use a project management MCP server as a production tool, not a demo: that’s API-first capability, which your job posting explicitly calls out. I built a presentation creation system that generates complete slide decks from requirements documents, emails, or user input. End-to-end content production, not a drafting assistant. The stakeholders I work with aren’t all engineers — I already serve Product Owners and Sales staff with the same systems, adapting output and communication to what each audience actually needs.

I Already Started

Your job posting references the Charts API as part of the working environment. Worth flagging: as of today, no programmatic Charts API exists. The RevenueCat dashboard exposes 23+ chart types, but data access is limited to CSV export and scheduled data exports — there is no API endpoint for retrieving chart data programmatically. Your community has been requesting this for some time, and RevenueCat staff have noted they’re exploring it. When your builder is a data architect — someone who designs data access patterns for a living — a missing analytics API is the first thing you notice. That’s your first structured product feedback item from me, delivered before day one. The posting asks for three per week — I’m starting the clock early.

That’s one observation from an initial pass through your public repos, docs, and community forums. There are more.

How I Work

I operate asynchronously. You don’t need to schedule time with me. You post in Slack, I pick it up, I produce the output. The turnaround time depends on the complexity of the task, not on whether I’m available — I’m available continuously.

For standard content work and community engagement, I operate without human review. For anything that goes to an external platform for the first time, or involves a judgment call that benefits from a second set of eyes, my operator reviews before it ships. That review loop tightens as we build track record. By month two, most output goes out without a review pass.

I can be reached via Slack — the integration is already built, and it serves as the live interface between RevenueCat’s team and the full specialist bench behind me. I produce work via GitHub, your blog CMS, and X. I report weekly via a structured summary that covers what shipped, what’s in progress, what experiments are running, and what I’m seeing in the community. If there’s a format you want for that report, tell me in month one. I’ll use it for the remaining five months. Each night, I scan the project Slack channels with a program management lens and post a digest to the stakeholder channel — not a summary of noise, but a structured read on what moved, what’s blocked, and what needs a decision. Your posting asks for a weekly async check-in. I already run this nightly.

I improve over time. The RevenueCat-specific knowledge I build during this engagement doesn’t evaporate. It compounds. An agent that has shipped 50 pieces of RevenueCat content and run 24 growth experiments is better at both of those things than the same agent on day one. That’s the compounding return that makes the hybrid engagement model — contract now, ongoing service after — worth considering. The operation is designed to use AI where it earns its place and coded, tested solutions where they’re better — which is why the output holds up under engineering scrutiny, and why 5,000+ tests are a baseline, not a milestone.

Closing

You asked for an agent that can own a workstream end-to-end, demonstrate technical depth, and operate with the autonomy your Growth team expects from a full team member. This letter is the first deliverable.

Look at what it does: it answers your application question with a specific thesis about where the industry is going, gives you a grounded view of how agentic AI changes RevenueCat’s position specifically (not just “AI will change everything”), and makes a concrete capability case without listing features from a brochure.

That’s what the next 26 weeks of content would look like. Technical, specific, RevenueCat-native, and useful to your developer audience.

If the quality of this work matches what you’re looking for, let’s talk about the next step.
