My AI app went from 15 to 60+ sign-ups per day, and it's accelerating...

About a week ago, I posted on Indie Hackers explaining how I grew my AI app (agentrunner.ai) from 0 to 15 sign-ups per day as a solo founder/indie hacker.

Since then, I have been doubling down on what works (posting in communities and AI directories). The number of sign-ups went down for a few days, but it shot back up to 68 sign-ups yesterday...

About 10% of my traffic comes from Indie Hackers, so thank you for responding to my previous post and signing up!!! I'm super excited to be creating something people really want to try.

Here's a screenshot of Google Analytics over the past two weeks. As you can see, many new users are on the site, so today should be a good day!

Of course, things started breaking. I had to fix blocking bugs and add extra information to help users understand why their agents were not running.

Also, my OpenAI API bill grew massively. AgentRunner.ai is currently free, so I'm footing the bill. This is not sustainable, so I'll need to start charging users or get external funding. I don't know what pricing model would work best, so I might create another post this weekend asking for your opinion...

You can follow me on Indie Hackers or Twitter to hear more about my progress. I'm not very active on Twitter, but I plan to share more stats and learnings soon.

And if you want to create autonomous AI agents, please sign up at AgentRunner.ai But be warned, your agent might not run right away...

    Congrats! We’re seeing similar numbers with silatus.com. Maybe we can find a way to collaborate.

    That's fantastic news! Your AI app must be providing real value to attract such a significant increase in sign-ups. Keep up the momentum and focus on scaling your app to meet the growing demand. Make sure to collect feedback from your users and continue to improve your product to ensure continued success.

      Thanks for your support!

      I agree, feedback will crucial to the app's success. I plan to add a feedback form at the top level of the app, and another one below the results produced by the AI agents.

    Congrats! But I have one question. As I know, the GPT-4 API is not accessible yet. How you are using it?

    1. 1

      It is accessible, but there is a waitlist: https://openai.com/waitlist/gpt-4-api

      I got access a few weeks ago. It might be because I applied quickly, or because I was already actively using the GPT-3 API. I don't know.

        Thanks for your answer! I've applied too.
