Transcript context
…But I mean, it sounds like you accelerated, because you told me it was like 100k, 200k a day. And now it's accelerated? Yeah, this past- I mean, every week has been kind of a blowout week as far as- Is it TikTok? We're digging into the degree that we can of just like where all this stuff's coming from. I mean, there's a ton of word of mouth, right? So that you can't- which you can't just like look by refer, right? So there's a ton of direct. But yeah, I mean, there's a lot of TikTok. There's a ton of YouTube. It's kind of, I think, been a sensation in the sort of like entrepreneurial, build your own SaaS, indie hacker, even developer circles. And I think, too, our team's been doing a really good job. Our folks just kind of like flipped a switch. And people were just working through the weekends or whatever to get stuff fixed. And so the product- and you'll see people say this online. Like today, there was a tweet. Someone was like, yeah, I tried this like the first week and I couldn't get whatever to work. Came back today, six weeks later, and this is ridiculous. Like this is so good, right? And so I think there's been an incredible amount of improvement to the product, to the agent, also to like the underlying models, too. Like Sonnet, they just happened to do an update with their release a couple of weeks ago. And so when we put our new agent online and the new Sonnet, we saw a huge bump in conversion just based on that. And so yeah, we've gone at that. When we were chatting, that must have been three weeks ago, maybe an average of 100K ARR per day. And this week, I will see- I've said this every week, but we'll see if it holds. The past couple of days have been like half a million of ARR per day, which is insane. I think today we've had peak traffic, just kind of set the previous- and that's kind of been every day this week. But anyways, yeah, I think things just continue to accelerate, which is kind of blowing my mind, because it's just the sheer numbers of this stuff are just mind-boggling. I think you almost suffered from the Twitter demo issues that other people had. The first time I saw Bolt, I saw the demo and I was like, oh, that's cool. I didn't go to try it because I was like, I've seen so many of these that it's like, I don't know if it's actually going to work. And then two days ago, I signed up to use it. I was building a Luma replacement. I'm done with Luma. And I was like, man, this thing really works. And I already knew you, of course. I was like, man, this thing really works. What the fuck? I was like, it's actually, I don't know if it's like the model, if it's like how you prompt it, but it's so good at coming up with the simplest thing to implement. So the Luma example, right? So first I was like, create a RSVP page for an event and it created a wedding RSVP. I don't know if it's your fault. I don't know if you bolted it. And then I was like, well, now it needs to have a way to create more events and added that. And then I was like, now it needs a way to like have an admin page to modify event. And maybe what I would have done as a developer is like, well, I'll create a different like admin view, you know, with all the events and then I'll have like the front end thing. And instead what it did is like, it created like a admin view with toggle on top and then like just a pencil button on every page to edit them in line, you know, and that was it. And I was like, yeah, that works just as well. And like for the model, that's probably the simplest way to do it because it like limits the amount of files that are there. Can you talk just more about how much of this is like the model coming out with it, how much you're prompting it to kind of like be very like…
