Day 2 after launching ChunkChat.

One thing I've learned already:

Building the product was easier than getting attention.

Over the past few weeks, I went from idea → POC → production and launched an AI chatbot platform that learns from websites, PDFs, FAQs, and documentation.

Yesterday was launch day.

Today I'm realizing that customer acquisition is an entirely different skill than software development.

Current status:

• Product is live

• First business demos completed

• Website and widget deployed

• Gathering feedback from potential customers

My focus now isn't on adding more features.

It's understanding:

• Who gets value the fastest?

• Which messaging resonates?

• What problem are customers actually paying to solve?

For founders who have already crossed the first-customer stage:

What was the single most effective thing you did to get your first paying customer?
