Im Greg, a full stack developer and jr data analytics engineer. I'm preparing to launch my first SaaS after making 10 or 12 products that are in limbo and or abandoned. I'd love to meet more marketing professionals and community builders than I have in my development circles. I've done marketing and creatives for others before, but never for my own venture. Its different when you are starting from scratch! Hoping this community can help me make my product launch successful. Its a wonderful product that Im very proud of, but with all this time coding and writing tests Ive spent very little time thinking about how to get people to try it. Im thinking about offering some free 3 month subscriptions or something to anyone who tries it out in the first few months. During that time id be building out my enterprise features more. Does anyone have experience with successful soft launches like that? Or like.. a tiered launch for different market scaling?
Two months ago, I'd never heard of Product Hunt. When I told people we were launching @AI Context Flow here, they told me to keep my expectations in check.
Fast forward to today: #1 Product of the Day and #1 Productivity Tool of the Week.
The journey was chaotic, humbling, and honestly surreal. If you'd told me this would happen, I wouldn't have believed you.

Hey, Artem here. I left Meta in Apr 2024 to fully dive into realm of GenAI. I knew back then that with the pace of development the distribution wins, not the product. So I spent a year cracking SEO and wasting tens of thousands on ads so you don't have to. Happy to share my learnings and answer your questions. Some stats. As of now our app has over 200k registered users with up to 700 joining daily. Before AI summaries we've reached 200k monthly visits on the website. And then crashed hard in the past few weeks. We also iterated on product like crazy and learned a ton. Ask away!
