Who Sami is for

You've asked everywhere how to market your product. Every answer was the same.

Sami is the marketing advisor that reads your product before it answers.

Same question, asked twice. One answer came without looking at your product. The other came after reading all of it.

2.Launch on Product Hunt
3.Run some targeted ads
4.Write SEO blog posts
5.Build in public on X
Would you like me to elaborate on any of these?
Fits any product. Swap "loopnote" for any other name and the answer doesn't change a word.

How do I get my first customers for loopnote?
You don't have a traffic problem. 1,860 people came and 22 tried it. Three things, in order:
01Lead app/page.tsx with voice capture. It's your only feature nobody else has, and it's on screen four.
02Pause Google Ads. $410 bought one payment. Restart when the new page converts.
03Reply to the 40 people in r/ADHD asking for exactly this. A reply, not a launch post.
Do 01 today. I'll check your trials on Friday.
Fits only yours. Every line points at a file, a page or a number it actually read.

Sellable, badly presented

Who pays

People who think faster than they type. Your transcription turned a 40 second ramble into four dated tasks. I tested it. It's the reason to pay.

Who walks away

Anyone landing on your homepage. It leads with calendar sync, which every task app has. The thing that's different is a footnote.

The market you're really in

Not task apps. You're in voice capture for people who think out loud. Seven products promise effortless capture. None do voice well. That gap is yours and you haven't claimed it.

Where you're leaking

Every commit since launch went into dark mode and a settings page, for people who never got past your first screen. Build nothing new until someone pays for what is already there.

The last $410 of ad spend, all on Google, bought 1,860 clicks, 22 trials and one payment. The traffic is fine. The page isn't. Pause the campaign until the homepage leads with voice capture.

The plan

Ten ways to get customers, in the order they'll work for you.

Free channels first, paid ones locked until your product converts. Anything ruled out stays on the list with the reason. On a paid plan, Sami tells you each morning what to work on.

Put voice capture in the headline. Move calendar sync below the fold.

1,860 people saw the current page and 22 tried it. The one person who paid used voice within a minute. Say that first, and the ads you've paused are worth turning back on.

How it works

Your honest read is free. You pay for more of Sami and a Founder review.

Sami only ever reads. It never writes to your repo, never posts anywhere, never touches your accounts or your card.

1

Sign up free and look around

GitHub, Google, Apple or an email address, and no card. Sami says hello in the chat.

2

Tell Sami what you built

Its name, what it does and who it is for, in your own words, and its live address if it has one. Then Sami asks what makes yours different.

3

Give Sami what you have

Your live site, your GitHub repo, ad exports, anything. All of it, some of it or none of it.

4

Sami reads everything

Whatever you gave it. Then your honest read and your ranked plan are waiting for you.

“You want access to my private code.”

Only if you connect it, and only to read it. Sami never writes to it.

“At what point does this cost money?”

Signing up, your honest read and your ranked plan are free. You pay when you want more of Sami, or a Founder review.

“And if I want to stop paying?”

Cancel any time. Plans are paid a month at a time, so stopping just means there is no next payment, and your account goes back to Free.

This is you

Sami is for you, the builder, not a marketing department.

01

You launched a real product and nobody signed up, or nobody paid.

You need your first users and your first paying customers.

02

You're the one doing the marketing, on top of everything else.

You're solo, or a tiny team wearing every hat at once.

03

You're sick of advice that fits every product and helps none.

You want advice written for yours.

What Sami is not

A short list, so you don't pay for the wrong thing.

A general chatbot

An analytics dashboard

A content or ad generator

A code reviewSami reads your code to judge the business, not the engineering.
