In plain English
pdfs.build lets users describe a document, like an invoice, report or contract, in chat. An AI agent writes a reusable template, so apps can produce that PDF on demand. Developers pay for plans. TrustMRR shows about $156 a month in recurring revenue and about $1,437 in the last 30 days. The AI writes the templates, while the service makes the files.

Overview
pdfs.build turns a chat request into a production PDF pipeline. Describe the document you need (invoice, report, contract) and an AI agent writes a Typst template with a JSON schema and sample data, compiling it live as it goes. Render it from your app over REST, MCP, or an editor you can embed for your own users. Built for developers who would rather not hand-write HTML and drive a headless browser to make a PDF.
Operator: Zeyad. Category on TrustMRR: Developer Tools. Founded: 2026-04-27. Website: https://pdfs.build/
