What traffic channels did you use or have?
we utilized social media platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, and FB to promote our platform, share content, and engage with the community. We also ventured into video marketing on platforms like YouTube, providing tutorials and demonstrations of our product.
Impressive growth! Democratizing data with SQL AI. Exciting journey ahead! 💪💬
Thank you for your encouraging words!
congratulations ! what channels have you tried and which one is performing best for you?Do you see your tool used by tech or non tech folks?
Thank you for your kind words! We've tried various channels including social media, email marketing, and even direct outreach. However, word of mouth referrals have consistently outperformed others in driving traffic to our tool.
As for the user base, we've seen interest from both tech and non-tech folks. AI2SQL was designed to simplify database queries, making it accessible to people even with minimal SQL knowledge. So while tech professionals find value in its efficiency, non-tech users appreciate its ease of use and learning curve.
great thanks for sharing. Word of mouth works best but it takes long time and certain amount of users to kick in :-)
Congrats! That line going up on the chart looks beautiful 🤩🥳 Gonna check out your app, looks interesting.
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 I hope you'll find it interesting and beneficial. Feel free to share your feedback, it's always appreciated!
Nice. Is the pricing targeted for individuals? What are the usage limitations? I saw the FAQ but don’t see usage mentioned in the plans.
Also, it’s good you included yearly billing. You could try making the yearly pricing the default one, I keep hearing how it’s way better in terms of LTV, activation, and retention.
Thank you for your comments.
Our pricing is typically geared towards individual users, but we also have suitable packages for businesses and corporate users. Usage limitations are usually plan-dependent and should appear when you select a specific plan. However, as you pointed out in the FAQ, perhaps we need to make these details more prominent.
When it works, it works 😎
like this quote, saved thanks:). Simple but so true.
I saw the video on your website. Can ai not directly retrieve data from database instead of writing SQL script?
Certainly, AI2SQL can connect to a database and retrieve metadata using natural language queries. In cases where you need to retrieve specific pieces of metadata, you just need to define your SQL query appropriately. This combines the simplicity of natural language querying with the precision and control of SQL, making it a versatile tool for interacting with databases.
Cool! congrats :)
Thanks!
Congrats!
Thank you so much!
Congratulations! Those are the hardest $k of MRR to lift.
I couldn't agree more – reaching that initial threshold in MRR is indeed one of the most challenging milestones for any startup.
How did you tackle the customer support challenge? Please expand on that, what you tried, what tools you use, etc
As the founder of AI2SQL, we've used a combination of strategies to tackle customer support challenges. We initially handled all queries manually but later adopted a ticketing system, to manage and track common issues.
Congrats
Thanks.
What's the benefit to use this over just asking gpt4 to generate sql for you?
Absolutely, that's a key feature I should have mentioned.
With AI2SQL.io , you can directly connect your database and interact with it. This makes it even more efficient as you can ask the system to generate SQL queries specific to your own data. This way, you can perform complex queries without needing extensive SQL knowledge.
I see. Thanks! Was/is it tough to get companies to trust your company with database access?
how your team has been able to double your Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) in just a short period of time. Your mission to democratize data and make it accessible to everyone, regardless of technical background, is commendable.
Every big things start small.
So true ... you've just got to start small and then scale from there.
Bingo!! Onwards and upwards man!! 🚀
great market. huge demand in there.
Thank you for your insight.
Can you create a short article about how you started and the step-by-step actions you took for growing fast?
not bad
Wow. I love the steady graph growth. Hard work pays. Keep up the great work with your team
Congrats Mustafa, you did a great job.
Thank you so much!
Congratulations and thanks for sharing. Can you share more detailed information about how did you increase your social media engagement to promote your tool?
Thank you for your congratulations! We increased social media engagement for AI2SQL through a combination of high-quality content, consistent posting, visual appeal, community engagement, user-generated content, interactive campaigns, and a data-driven approach.
Wow! Congrats! Great job! This is really solving a hair-on-fire problem. I have seen so many people struggling with this. I am happy you are helping them and having success with it!
Thank you for your kind words. The recognition of the value of our work fuels our dedication to innovation and service. We're looking forward to continuously providing solutions to the challenges that many face when dealing with SQL.
