How getting our product out got us 1500 signups in 3 days.

We have been building corpora AI(https://www.askcorpora.com/) for more than a month with team of 4 people.

🙂starting/problem:

basically starting point was, one our friend mentioned a problem about, how small to big firms uses tradition search tools, and employee have to spend lot's of their time in finding right information from corpus of 1000 of pdfs and key word searching was very tedious and frustrating.

solution

then the idea of making chatGPT like chat style AI tool to ask Q&A from large number of document came in.

⚙️building

this part took most of our time, we had to try out different solution, as let me tell you even seemingly simple task as extracting data from pdf in way that it keeps its most structure was not simple.
for a month we build a very interesting pipeline using different AI methods and LLM at every possible component, so data is best analyzed for Q&A and search.
then after we did through testing.

📉slow zone

after we had beta product ready, we started to think let's try reach B2B companies and firms, but response was not that impressive.
cracking initial clients in B2B space is hard.

🎉corpora AI out in public

suddenly we saw a product in same space came out, then we thought why not give it try.
we are not marketing genius, so we started posting in various social media channels like twitter, reddit, reaching out to people with genuine cause.
trying to get some pr from newsletter.

guess what, people in social media like our product we got, enormous response from reddit, twitter, and communities.
People with good audience in the space gave response back.
we starting getting traction.

guess what it all happened in 3-4 days of kind of public launch.

👀interesting

we maxed out most of our servers and resources in 1-2 days, couldn't scale initially due to high traffic, gathered lot's of positive feedback.

we are still early and improving corpora AI every day, trying to start our journey in B2B space, getting more and more feedback from users.

if you like this little journey, you will like our product more.
