What they did
Posted the product on AI tool directories such as Futurepedia. Content creators picked it up and made videos on their own, helped by how novel AI-generated flashcards were at the time.
What happened
Some creator videos went a little viral and brought in users and validation; the guest would still list there today but expects directories are oversaturated.
In their words
