How they did it

Run a paid beta, stated at about $16K ARR, then a public launch. The page prints the launch date as March 23 and the year as 2025.

1. Run a paid beta, stated at about $16K ARR, then a public launch. The page prints the launch date as March 23 and the year as 2025.
2. Stack named on the page: Convex, Vercel, Railway, Clerk, Resend, Axiom. Copy uses OpenAI and Claude. Image and video use a tool the page calls File AI. Engineering uses Claude Code on the 20x Max plan.
3. The page says they held about 2,000 customer calls.
4. Inference: the calls are the distribution loop the episode is selling, with the model stack as the product. I did not hear the episode.

Steps above are the recorded desk notes for this case.

Copy this prompt

Point your agent at this case.

We are launching a short-form AI tool. Ask for the beta price and the public price. Draft the call script for customer call number one, the stack checklist (database, host, auth, email, logs, copy model, media model, coding agent), and a revenue note with two fields that must not be auto-converted: MRR and ARR. If MRR times 12 does not equal ARR, print the gap and stop.
