Congrats on the 4K ! Quick question : how much of this revenue is generated by SEO ? (And did you do it manually or via AI content generation ?)
Thank you for the congratulations! 🎉 SEO plays a role in our revenue, and we use a variety of methods for content generation.
well thats cool as a solo product maker. Congratulates!
Thanks so much! It's been an incredible journey as a solo maker.
Man this is awesome! Congrats! Question, why did you choose this problem to solve? And how did you come to see it was a problem worth solving?
Thanks a lot! I chose this problem because it was a hurdle I faced myself and saw that it affected many others too. Realizing the widespread impact, it clicked that solving it could really make a difference.
Thanks for your experience and congrats! Looking at your pricing you probably get 200-500 customers, how did you got them? Traditional ads or did you take an other way?
congrats on the huge milestone! for the first 15 months, when did you start to reach out to customers to validate your MVP? how much time did you spend on product dev before testing it with real users?
Just launched my solo product. Love that you shared stats and learnings.
That's awesome, congratulations on your launch!
Thank you! I think you inspired me to do a similar post here in a few weeks :)
Congrats for the success. Starting early is an important factor, good job.
Thank you! Starting early indeed provided a good runway to learn and iterate.
I see you got $1K MRR in 15 months, Could you please share how long did it take for you to get first paid user or your first payment?
Just tried it out, very interesting. Just curious, how did you made it 15 months ago when ChagGPT was not there yet?
Thanks for trying it out and for your curiosity! 15 months ago, I was an early adopter of GPT technologies, which helped me in the initial development of AI2SQL.
Congratulations,a good product
Thank you!
Congrats. It's very inspiring to see someone already make it on the same path.
How much time have you spent on coding and how much on selling?
So happy to see this growth. I also run a deep tech video creation platform and we are growing slowly.
Many congratulations Mustafa
Thank you so much! Let's keep pushing forward and celebrate each milestone, no matter how small.

Wat stack and technologies you used in developement?
Congratulations Mustafa, this journey is not easy. You have accomplished many difficult things. Keep going.
Thank you!
I've been seeing AI2SQL for a while now, and I really wish you success 🎉
Thank you so much! Your support and good vibes are truly appreciated.
Huge congrats! I'm sure you've thought about this already, but a VSCode plugin for your tool could be HUUUUGGGE. Imagine being able to use your tool right in the developers IDE :)
Thank you! And absolutely, integrating AI2SQL as a VSCode plugin has crossed my mind and it could indeed provide a seamless experience for developers. It's on the roadmap.
Congrats Mustafa, that's excellent progress.

If you were pushed back in time to start your project again, how long would it take you, to reach this goal again?
Given the lessons learned and experiences gained, I believe we could reach this goal more efficiently if we were to start over. However, a lot also depends on the circumstances and resources available at the time.
This is the kind of story I am in the early days of so it is amazing to see that I possibly will have a successful future. #congratulations.
