I'm not gonna sugarcoat it—this took way longer than I thought.
The brutal truth:
Launched in September with a "lead finder" concept
Got to 100 users by November
Watched 60% of them churn after trial
Felt like I was building something nobody wanted
The turning point:
Started actually reading user feedback instead of defending my product.
The pattern was obvious: "Love the leads, hate the manual work."
They wanted outcomes, not tools.
What I changed:
Built autonomous AI agents that handle the entire loop:
Find conversations → Detect intent → Draft replies → Post outreach → Start conversations
No human intervention needed.
The difference:
Before: Users found leads, got excited, then ghosted because engaging was manual
After: Users wake up to conversations already started. The job is done.
Since deploying the agents 3 weeks ago:
✅ 100 → 230 users (130% growth)
✅ $80 → $150 MRR
✅ 10+ daily signups consistently
✅ Zero ad spend (agents run distribution)
✅ 89K+ leads processed automatically
What nobody tells you:
Growth isn't about finding the right channel. It's about solving the complete problem.
I spent months optimizing funnels when I should've been improving the product.
Current vibe:
Cautiously optimistic. Numbers are moving right. Product is selling itself.
But I've been burned by false starts before, so staying focused on retention over vanity metrics.
Next challenge:
Scaling infrastructure to handle 24/7 monitoring without destroying margins. API costs are getting spicy.

Question for IH: When did you stop optimizing growth and start fixing the product? That shift changed everything for me.
Now this is something I've been looking for, the first step for me now seems achievable

This hit hard.
“Love the leads, hate the manual work” is such a clear signal in hindsight, but it’s incredibly easy to miss while you’re building.
Curious — once you identified that pattern, what was the smallest change that made users stick instead of churn?
Just make sure you give customers what you claim and show them value
