With the rebuild behind them, Eyal and Yali share the structured playbook they wish they'd had from day one. Step one is knowing exactly who you're building for and what their pain points are. Step two is becoming data-obsessed — not just looking at top-line numbers but understanding what the conversion funnel is telling you at every stage. [1] — Eyal "Step 1: know exactly who you're building for. Step 2: worship your data. Step 3: obsess over in-app analytics to find drop-off points. Step…" 06:54 Step three, Yali adds, is obsessing over in-app analytics: tracking feature clicks to identify your most compelling value proposition, and watching onboarding screens to see exactly where users drop off. Step four is scaling through influencer marketing — but only after the product is ready to convert. The evidence is vivid: their 70th influencer video hit 600,000 views and pushed ARR from $8,000 to $38,000 in three days.

Influencer mar…" 08:07 One video, three days, nearly five times the revenue — the power of distribution applied to a product that finally worked.
A single viral influencer video with 600,000 views drove PropGPT's ARR from approximately $8K to $38K in about 3 days.
Their 70th influencer video hit 600,000 views and single-handedly pushed PropGPT's ARR from $8,000 to $38,000 in three days. Influencer marketing has a lottery-like upside — but only if the product can hold the users it acquires.
PropGPT's large language model (AI) operating costs are just $20 per month, and the cost is continually falling.
PropGPT spends approximately $10,000 per month on influencer marketing.
PropGPT runs at roughly 50% profit margins after accounting for marketing, data APIs, hosting, and tooling costs.
Get a co-founder who has your back. Be scientifically honest about whether your idea has real demand. Once you convince yourself, it becomes an order of magnitude easier to convince investors and team members to join you.
Directory listings are a powerful but underrated growth channel — but only if your product is genuinely interesting enough to earn the click. AI products have a natural advantage here because they're easy to package in a compelling, clickable way.
The fastest path to Twitter growth isn't volume — it's forming sharp opinions about how the platform works and sharing them immediately. People cluster around those who understand the rules and say so out loud.
Sam had no coding knowledge, so he used ChatGPT voice mode to generate his entire codebase and copy-pasted it into Notepad. A friend later introduced him to Cursor, and he never looked back.
Copy days of Discord chat history, paste it into ChatGPT, and ask it to list recurring pain points. The ones that come up most often are your best product bets.
Sam's top advice: when prompting Cursor, tell it to architect code for 100,000 users from day one. The AI changes its approach, building scalable frameworks instead of brittle one-user code.
With AI coding tools like Cursor, Bhanu replicates an existing free tool for a new keyword in under 5 minutes. What used to be a multi-day build is now a lunch-break task.
Ahrefs, SiteGPT, Cal.com, PostHog, Datafast, Sibyl AI, Bento, Feather, Featurepace, Mintlify, Cloud Code, ChartMogul — Bhanu runs his entire business solo with these 12 tools.
Game apps keep users engaged long enough for ads to pay off. Tool apps don't — so if you're building a utility, ads are almost always the wrong call and subscriptions are your only real lever.
Inside SEO Bot, a single button labelled 'Boost My Domain Rating' routes users directly to Listing Bot. That one interaction converts a user of one tool into a user of two — without any marketing cost.
