There are way too many ads around "AI". Everybody else does that, frequently overwhelming people with too many promises of quick wins. I prefer to distinguish from this hype and reach people through other channels - good content, word of mouth and interesting collaborative events (like our last Enterprise RAG Challenge). This might lead to slower sales in the short term, but I think the long-term value to the brand is worth it. EDIT: fixed typo

yeah, this is much slower growth... danger must be it is so slow it must be non-existent. but I am with you on same boat, there are too many AI ads for crappy apps but I guess it speaks to flood of crap-ware, and flood bad content in social networks ^not meaning about you, of course (those folks must not be even on HN)

  Building something that people truly need - might not lead to huge sales right away, but I believe this to be a good long-term strategy. Sprint vs marathon. Just keep on pushing on it, and it will eventually work out.

    anyways, hope it works out well for you friend. tough for everyone! keep up all the hard work!

    Building something that people do not need might not lead to sales right away either. Maybe it will work out, at low growth rate... in 180 years, when it does not matter anyways. Extremely low grow rates are functionally indistinguishable from death. And even successful great products will not be used by anybody, ... if nobody even knows about it. Think of Facebook or Apple hiding somewhere in corner vs screaming about themselves in Times Square billboards and streets storefronts in rural India. Marketing, Distribution, Discovery is important for to-be great products too, just as it is important for crap-ware. (unfortunately later makes bad name and bad look for the whole industry).
