“AI built the product. Most of my work runs through Claude Code or Codex... in September we're at $653 a month and just passed 50 paying users.”
Editor's note: The founder later posted on X (Sep 29, 2026) that he was 'about to hit $1000 MRR' and that SEO brings in most customers.
How they got customers
A few semi-viral social posts brought the first paying users; since then SEO brings people to the site every day.

Build the tool you want for your own workflow (he wanted keyword data without opening an SEO dashboard).
