What they did
While learning AI tools over a weekend in early 2023, started building a blog chatbot for Feather's ~100 customers (everyone has a blog). Realized it shouldn't be limited to Feather users and split it out as a standalone product, SiteGPT, going from idea to launch in two weeks.
What happened
Reached ~$10K MRR within the first month, more than the parent product's $5-6K MRR.

“The best way for me to learn is to build something with it, so I thought, okay, I have 100 Feather customers, so what can I build for them? Everyone has a blog, so I thought, okay, why not build a chatbot that can answer everything that is on the blog?”
“When I launched it, it got to like 10,000 MRR within the first month itself.”
