When OpenAI released ChatGpt I knew I wanted to experiment with the technology, so I looked for and reached out to a few technical folks exploring it, to see if they were needing Product help. In April 2023, I met my co-founder, who had developed a tech demo to summarize podcasts using AI. As someone that follows more podcasts that I am able to listen to, I recognized the potential of AI-powered podcast summarization, and launched into transforming a tech demo into a viable product with paying customers.So I:- Developed a Vision and comprehensive strategy encompassing target market identification, pain point analysis, feature prioritization, pricing, and a go-to-market plan.- Modeled the economics and financials of our potential service, all the way to LTV, to help us guide our spending decisions.- Designed the UI and UX for our platform, following a user-centric paradigm, and implemented a robust user feedback loop to inform product enhancements and ensure a strong product-market fit.- Defined our GTM approach, based in organic growth through a content-driven, product-led approach.4 months after meeting, we released an early version of PodsmartAI.com, and verified that users are willing to pay for it. Since then we have shaped our processes and executed on our strategy, to build a platform that processes thousands of hours of content per day, serving hundreds of paying Users, who can leverage AI Chatbots on their content to better integrate it. Our platform alerts our users when Topics they are interested in are brought up in the broader podcasting space.We are now at a stage where we need to firm up our platform’s stability and performance - we know the paying users are there, and we have expansion plans.. We are looking for a Sr Engineer with experience in this kind of challenge that is interested in being our (Fractional) CTO. Reach out to me if you know of someone.
