Founder Kyle Gawley vented about spending 5 hours with Shopify's AI assistant trying to fix a problem—human support solved it in 5 minutes. He's using the moment to promote his free 5-day email playbook on getting your first 100 paid users.
The playbook covers pre-selling to 7 users before writing code, a DM opener with a 90% response rate, landing Jason Calacanis as a customer, and the channels that grew his products to 22,000 users and $1m+ revenue.
