Big Idea
The argument in one line.
Twelve new AI tools released this week show the same pattern: none invented new technology, they packaged an existing AI capability into a narrow, priced wedge and sold access to it.
Who This Is For
Read if. Skip if.
READ IF YOU ARE…
You track new AI tool releases weekly and want to know which ones are already making real money, not just generating hype.
You're looking for a narrow, sellable wedge to build a one person AI tool or agency around.
You use coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, or a similar agent and want to know what capability gaps other builders are filling around them.
SKIP IF…
You want a deep technical tutorial on how to build with any single tool. This is a rapid tool-by-tool overview, not a how-to.
You have no interest in pricing models or the business mechanics behind a tool, just want a feature review.
TL;DR
The full version, fast.
Two hosts cover twelve AI products released or trending this week: an AI launch-video agent, an AI influencer platform, a chief of staff layer for coding agents, a new agentic browser, free startup credits from Claude, a group-chat personal assistant, an isolated virtual machine for agents, and a funnel-cloning tool. Then they switch to four builders already showing verified revenue: a premium skills directory, an MCP that bundles image and video generation into coding agents, a minimalist tool directory, and a website popup tool. The throughline: every one of these packages an existing AI capability into a narrow, clearly priced product, and that packaging, not new technology, is what turns a weekend build into real revenue.

An AI video agent that turns a product idea into a publish-ready launch video, pitched as a budget alternative to the six-figure launch videos some companies already pay for.
01:39 – 03:18
02 · Spira AI: AI influencers for brands
A platform that builds and runs a full fake-influencer presence, posting and promoting a product the way a human UGC creator would, at a fraction of the cost.
03:18 – 04:57
03 · ChatGPT Dots: a chief of staff for coding agents
OpenAI's answer to tools like OpenClaw and Hermes Agent, used here as a manager that delegates work across multiple Codex threads and reports back on their status.
04:57 – 06:18
04 · Hark: a new agentic browser
An early-access agent with built-in web browsing and sidebar widgets that track accounts and projects in the background, from a founder with a strong track record.
06:18 – 07:12
05 · Claude for Startups: free credits
Claude's new startup program offers a year of seats, $1,000 in API credits, and up to $45,000 in partner offers to companies under five years old or recently funded.
07:12 – 09:09
06 · Instinct: agents in group chats
An iMessage-native personal agent that can now join group threads, used for email and document retrieval, Amazon purchases, and coordinating plans with other people.
09:09 – 11:24
07 · VMPal: isolated virtual machines
A one-time-fee app that spins up a separate macOS, Windows, or Ubuntu instance on your own computer, so an AI agent's apps and clutter never touch your main machine.
11:24 – 13:39
08 · Boring Funnels: clone a working funnel
A weekly breakdown of one complete marketing funnel, ad through email sequence, plus a one-click prompt that hands the whole thing to a coding agent to rebuild for your own offer.
13:39 – 15:18
09 · Skillry: a paid skills directory at $5K MRR
A directory of premium agent skills that shows the exact output before you buy, now at roughly $5,000 a month in verified revenue after about a month live.
15:18 – 17:06
10 · CreativeClaw: image and video for coding agents, $125K lifetime
An MCP that adds image, video, and voiceover generation into Claude, OpenClaw, and Codex by bundling the builder's own subscriptions to other AI tools, now at $125,507 in lifetime revenue.
17:06 – 18:36
11 · vibe-code.ing: a clean AI tool directory
A single-page, minimally designed AI tool directory monetized through paid sponsored placements, already profitable with its first handful of paying customers.
18:36 – 20:12
12 · TinyPopups: website popups with a claimed 30% reply rate
A five-minute-install popup widget that can be triggered by page, audience, or event, claimed to convert at roughly a 30 percent reply rate on its ask.
Atomic Insights
Lines worth screenshotting.
Companies have spent over $100,000 on a single launch video, which is why AI tools that cut that cost toward zero are spreading fast.
Brands already pay influencers tens of millions a year hoping one post in a hundred goes viral, so a cheaper AI substitute for that gamble is an easy sell.
A growing share of the user-generated content you see on Instagram and TikTok is already AI generated, not filmed by a real person.
A chief of staff agent that manages several coding threads at once solves a real problem: nobody wants to manually babysit five parallel AI sessions.
A strong founder track record buys a new agentic tool attention, but it does not prove the tool is different from what people already use.
AI vendors are shifting from throttling free usage to actively subsidizing young companies with credits and free seats to win them early.
An agent built into a channel people already use constantly, like text messages, gets used far more than one that requires opening a separate app.
Isolating an AI agent inside its own virtual machine means a bloated, slowed-down environment can be deleted and rebuilt without touching your main computer.
A one-time fee of about $35 undercut subscription competitors hard enough to spark a sudden spike of attention for a virtual machine tool.
A tool built to solve its own creator's recurring problem, here cloning a competitor's full sales funnel, tends to be sharper than one built for an abstract market.
A skills directory that shows the real output before purchase earns more trust than a typical free directory full of generic listings.
One builder bundled his own subscriptions to several separate AI generation tools behind a single connection and turned that bundling alone into six figures of revenue.
A single-page tool directory with no nested navigation can read as more trustworthy than a sprawling one, and that design choice alone becomes a competitive edge.
A website popup triggered by a specific page, event, or audience segment is reported to convert at roughly a 30 percent reply rate, far above a generic popup shown to everyone.
Takeaway
Every Tool Here Sells a Narrow Wedge
MONETIZATION PATTERNS
None of this week's twelve picks invented new AI technology: they packaged existing capabilities into a narrow, priced wedge, and that packaging is what turned use into revenue.
01Pexo: AI launch-video agent
Launch videos have become a default marketing format, with some companies spending over $100,000 on a single one, creating room for tools that reproduce the effect cheaply.
An AI agent that specializes in one job can become the backend for a one-person agency that packages and resells that service to other companies.
Treating a launch as a repeatable, low-cost motion instead of a one-time big event lets a product ship visible updates more often.
02Spira AI: AI influencers for brands
Brands already pay influencers tens of millions a year for user-generated content hoping one post in a hundred goes viral, which is why a cheaper AI-generated substitute is attractive.
A large share of the UGC on platforms like Instagram and TikTok is already AI generated, and that share is forecast to keep climbing toward the majority.
Positioning, including brand, pricing, discounts, and a strong launch-day rank, can carry a tool to the top of a crowded category even when the underlying idea isn't new.
03ChatGPT Dots: a chief of staff for coding agents
A chief of staff layer that sits above several coding-agent threads at once, delegating and tracking status, solves the real pain of managing parallel AI sessions by hand.
Whether a new agent tool is worth adopting comes down to a narrow test: can it actually retrieve and act on past context, not just claim to.
04Hark: a new agentic browser
A strong founder track record and backing buy a new agentic tool the benefit of the doubt, but that alone doesn't prove it's different from tools already in daily use.
Small background features, like a widget that quietly tracks one account or project, can be the actual reason someone keeps a new tool open.
05Claude for Startups: free credits
Vendors are shifting from limiting free usage to actively subsidizing young companies with seats and API credits to win them before they scale.
Eligibility windows for free-credit programs, such as company age or recent funding, are worth checking against your own status before assuming you don't qualify.
06Instinct: agents in group chats
An agent that lives inside a channel people already use constantly gets used more than one that requires opening a separate app.
Letting an agent search across months of email and attachments on command replaces slow native search for one-off retrieval tasks.
Extending an agent from one-on-one chats into group threads opens a new class of coordination tasks that a single-user agent can't handle.
07VMPal: isolated virtual machines
Running a virtual machine isolates an AI agent's activity from your main computer, so a slowed-down environment can be deleted and rebuilt without touching daily-use files.
A one-time fee that undercuts subscription competitors in a category where recurring pricing is the norm is often what drives a sudden spike in attention.
08Boring Funnels: clone a working funnel
A tool built to solve its own creator's recurring problem tends to be sharper than one built speculatively for an abstract market.
Bundling a reusable prompt with reference material turns research into something that can be handed directly to a coding agent to execute.
A low one-time or low annual price removes the friction of trying a new tool, which matters more than feature breadth for early adoption.
09Skillry: a paid skills directory at $5K MRR
A directory that shows the actual output before purchase earns trust that a typical free directory full of generic listings can't.
Charging a small price per item, with an option to buy the whole library outright, can work even in a category where most comparable products are given away free.
Verified revenue tracking is becoming a credibility signal buyers look for before trusting a solo-built tool.
10CreativeClaw: image and video for coding agents, $125K lifetime
Reaching six figures in revenue didn't require inventing new technology, it required bundling existing subscriptions behind one connection and reselling access to them.
Adding a capability that coding agents don't natively support fills a specific gap those tools share, which is a defensible niche on its own.
Pay-per-use pricing removes the need to hold several separate subscriptions just to occasionally need one of them.
11vibe-code.ing: a clean AI tool directory
A single-page, uncluttered directory with no nested navigation can read as more trustworthy than a sprawling one, and that design choice alone can be a competitive edge.
Selling a flat-fee sponsored placement is a simple enough monetization model that a solo builder can launch and get paying customers within a day.
12TinyPopups: website popups with a claimed 30% reply rate
A popup that can be triggered by specific conditions, like page, audience segment, or event, converts better than a generic one shown to every visitor.
A claimed high opt-in reply rate is the kind of concrete number worth testing against your own traffic before dismissing a simple point tool.
Glossary
Terms worth knowing.
UGC (user-generated content)
Posts made to look like they come from a real customer or influencer rather than a brand, used for organic-feeling marketing.
MCP
A connection standard that lets an AI coding agent call out to an external tool or service, such as an image or video generator, that it cannot do natively.
MRR
Monthly recurring revenue, the predictable subscription income a product collects every month, used as a shorthand for how much real traction it has.
Virtual machine
A separate, isolated copy of an operating system running on your own computer, used here to contain an AI agent so it cannot slow down or clutter the main machine.

You're about to get AI tools that will make you money. You'll get a tool that makes video ads for you. You'll get an AI influencer that publishes for you regularly on social media.
You'll get free cloud code and all of this week's hot AI releases. Plus, we'll show you people who make money with tools like this and how they do it. Links to everything in the description.
And we do this weekly, so subscribe if you like these types of launches. Let's get into it. Presented by Zapier, the AI automation company.
The first AI product that's going to help you make money this week is... Pexo, it's an AI video agent that turns your ideas into videos. And Corey, how would people use this?
So I feel like a lot of people, especially if you spend any amount of time on X, you've seen the viral launch videos that seem to be popping up on the timeline like multiple times a day. Everybody's honestly investing a lot of money into these launch videos. I've heard of companies spending 100K or more on a single launch video.
This is an AI agent that specializes in the creation of those launch videos. So realistically, if you're launching on a budget or if you just want to do like a bunch of little mini launches, you could use this tool to launch your products or to create launch videos. And I think a way that somebody could turn this into a business is you could basically start a launch agency where you help companies launch their products on social media and you use a tool like this on the back end to actually build the launch video.
Yeah, I mean, I used to think that launches needed to be this big feature or a whole rewrite of your software. People now are doing launches over just a little mini edition that they've added, and they're often using videos to get attention for it. All right, pexo .ai.
Next, this is Spira. And what it'll do is it'll create basically a whole influencer. experience for you, meaning like a person, an account, managed everything for you.
But it's fake. This dude right here going through and promoting Global Byte, he's not real. He's fake.
And you can now get your own fake influencer that's basically just promoting your stuff. I don't know that I would mess with this, but I do think it looks like it's fun and it's super effective. What do you think?
So I think this is where UGC is going. If anybody listening to this has heard of user -generated content, I mean, brands pay millions, if not tens of millions of dollars a year to influencers to create social media organic content, talking about their product, hoping that one out of every 100 pieces of content goes viral, and that's how they get their ROI.
So if you look on Instagram or TikTok, so much of the UGC you're already seeing is AI -generated. These influencers don't exist. Spira just seems to be a platform that, I mean, it just looks to be a really polished AI UGC platform.
And I think within the next year to two years, literally 80 to 90 % of UGC content is going to be from AI influencers like this. So I think this is one of those things where if you don't jump on the trend now, you're going to get left behind. And the people that try to hold out, you know, because they don't think it's right or whatever, like, I'm sorry, but this is just where this thing is going.
It has been incredibly popular. Product hunt number one of the day. Product hunt number one of the week.
They're giving 50 % off for people who want to try this out. It's basically like a whole almost human being doing nothing but promoting your product in a fun way. All right.
Next. This is not a great launch. I'm actually looking for a good launch video to show it.
But essentially, this is Dots from ChatGPT. And it's their version of OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, and so on. I don't like it.
I've been trying it. It's just doing nothing but nagging me about stuff because I'm not using it. But you've had good results with it.
How are you using DOTS? So I like using it as essentially a chief of staff specifically for Codex. So Codex is my hardness of choice.
I'm doing a lot of my work inside Codex. What I don't like about Codex is having to go through and manually... pop into each thread, you know, figure out what I'm working on, figure out the status of each thread.
So I use Dot as almost the manager of Codex. So I can just go to Dot and delegate things to Dot and Dot can spin up different Codex threads or different ChatGBT work threads and just manage everything through that single interface, that single point of contact. So that's how I've been using it.
Yeah. And I think, you know, I know you're a big Rockbot fan. I think each of the systems has its pros and cons.
But that's how I've been using dot up to now. So when I try to get it to refer back to other messages, it doesn't have access to it or it can't find the chat or something. But you're saying for you, you're able to say, hey, I chatted with chat GPT yesterday.
I want you to find that chat and then follow up on it. And it'll do that. Yeah, it's been working for me just fine.
And it can, like I said, it can spin up codex threads. It can refer back to codex threads. It can report on.
the progress of different threads inside Kodak. So far, it's been working well for me for that use case. I'll try it again.
Here is Hark. This is a brand new agent. I mean, we're getting agents now every single day, it feels like.
And the idea behind this one is it's got a better web browser access. That's part of it. And the other thing is Alex Finn, he got early access to it.
He noted that... You can also get these widgets that keep track of things for you and help you stay on top of them on the left. So you can see on the left, it's keeping track of his YouTube, of his X account, of his, what did he say in the video?
It was keeping track of the podcast that he's going to be on with Matt Van Horn and about his fantasy football. What do you think of this one? Yeah, so this one, again, I just, I don't see it being that.
unique enough for me to go and test it out or to use it in place of a dot or a crock bot again it's just kind of the like the new agentic tool du jour but i think we'll see if it has longevity i think the guy that started it is super legit right like he has a very strong track record and i think it's is it robotics i think you said earlier yeah he's got a massively successful company Yeah, it seems like it's got a really strong team and smart founder behind it.
So we'll see if it has legs. But for me, I don't think it's something that I see myself using quite a bit. All right.
Next, Claude is now finally, instead of cutting people back, they're saying, we want to help out startups by giving you free access. One year of Claude for Teens, $1 ,000 in Claude API credits, and up to $45 ,000 in offers from partners. I think this partner thing is not that valuable.
This API credits is great. It's getting your whole team on. And the goal is to get startups on their platform.
And if you're a startup that is five years or younger, or have been funded in the last two years, they're going to give this to you. And we're applying.
Let's see if we can get it.
Yeah, I'm going to be applying as well. In fact, before we hit record, I just went into Codex and said, hey, research the Claude Startup Program. Give me a checklist of everything that you need from me, and then go and apply on our behalf.
So we'll see if we get in there. But I think it's a no -brainer. Like, why not go and apply?
For sure. If you're listening, you qualify. Go do it.
Next. Instinct, this is the AI agent that you've been using because it fits in iMessage. And what they launched this week was group chats.
And so immediately I told my wife, I want you to get on Instinct so that we could chat together and merge our agents together. She hasn't done it yet, but I could see value in this. How has it helped your business, Instinct?
So I've actually not been using it for business at all. I look at Instinct as like my personal agentic tool. So it has access to my email.
It has access to, you know, I've given it my credit card through the secure portal so that it can make purchases on Amazon and sites like that for me. But I'm not using it for business. What I find myself using it for is like, for example, I had recently I had to give my accountant a bunch of.
documents right and they're buried in my email i've gotten them all at random times throughout the year and gmail's native search sucks uh you know i could ask claude or i could ask codex to go find it but even that's going to take a little bit of time so i just sent off a text to instinct in imessage i was like hey i need this ein number i need this k1 go find it and it found it within like 60 seconds just dropped it into imessage as an attachment and and it was done so i think the other reason i like it so much and the other reason that I'm using it more as a personal agent is because it lives in iMessage.
That's the interface that I'm in most often. And so it's just easiest for me to use it inside iMessage. And they just dropped a feature.
It's not available to everyone yet, but you'll be able to add Instinct to group threads. So like, for example, I could be in a family group text and we're trying to decide where to go to dinner. We make a decision and then we say, hey, Instinct, go and book it.
And so there's a lot of applications that I think come up for it being in group threads. Yeah. All right.
This one is the app that I'm going to rebuild my whole MacBook around. It's VMPal, virtual machines. What it does is it puts another instance of macOS or Windows or Ubuntu, though I'm just going to create macOS, on your computer.
And the idea is if you're going to give your agent a computer, you might as well put it on your own computer and then isolate it to that one computer. So it's like having another Mac operating system. with its own apps and everything on your computer, and then you tell your agent you control that.
The reason I like it is I've been playing with so many apps that I find that it slows down my computer. And you've noticed now over the last few weeks, my computer's gotten sluggish and more and more sluggish, and it's becoming more difficult to operate. I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to have a pristine copy of macOS that I'm going to run everything on.
and have only a few apps on that. And then I'll have a virtual machine using VM Pal, which will have the crazy software that people introduced me to that we talk about here and maybe agents controlling it. And then once I'm done with it, because it gets overloaded and too slow, I delete it and move on.
There've been lots of apps that do this. The reason this took off this week was because this is simple and inexpensive. We're talking about a one -time fee of $34, $35.
Love one -time fees. Love that. And then it's free forever.
And now you get to put it on your computer. I wonder how this like, I don't think my team needs it. Otherwise, I would get it because it's such a good price, 50 bucks to do it.
But this is one that I'm really excited about. And like I said, I want to build my whole computer around this.
I love this one. Again, I have the same problem where I've got a brand new MacBook as of four or five months ago. And it's got, you know, 36 gigs of RAM or, you know, whatever, kind of in that range.
And it's super fast. I mean, so far, I haven't had any issues. But just like you, I'm always testing out new tools.
I'm constantly like my downloads folder, you know, gets bigger by the day. And so having something like that, that I could just spin up and have like a pristine instance to do some of my work on, I think would be a huge benefit. And the fact that it's a one time fee makes it a no brainer in my mind.
I also love that they're that they're selling this as the the computer you put within your computer and then give agents complete control of so maybe maybe what you do is you say this is the one that i'm going to let grokbot completely manage and i've had such a good experience having it manage my main computer or or others okay it's really fantastic all right final launch and then we're going to talk about people who are making money using these tools but the final one is from boring marketer he created something called boring funnels you signed up immediately for this what is this So he launched this as of like three hours ago.
So what he built, it was on top of a problem that he was having in his business. A lot of what he talks about is marketing for boring local service businesses, building funnels, running ads, basically using AI to grow offline businesses. And he was having difficulty cloning successful funnels from other online businesses.
It was a very manual process. He'd see a funnel that did well. He'd feed it to Claude.
But then you only see the ad or you only see the landing page. You don't see the email sequence and everything that comes with it. So Boring Funnels is like a full funnel breakdown.
It gives you one funnel per week of like, hey, here's everything from the ad to the landing page to the email sequence to the CTA. And it also comes with a full library. So the paid plan, I think, is $2 .99 a year.
And that gives you access to the full funnel library along with a one -click prompt that you can one -click copy, hand a cloud code or hand a codex, and it'll build out the entire funnel for your offer with your voice and your copy. So this is something that I signed up for immediately. Like this is such a no -brainer.
And I mean, you can launch a whole agency with this tool as the backend, like just building funnels for local businesses by copying other funnels that work. I mean, it's a no -brainer. It's so smart.
It used to be that if I found a funnel that was fantastic, I would think, all right, I've got to now hire an agency to do it, or I need my team to have time to put it together. Now I really could just hand it over to Cloud and say, build this thing for me. And now I have a funnel that helps convert.
people into customers. All right, next. Actually, before I go into the next, I should tell everybody that my sponsor is Zapier.
I'm not going to promote anything from Zapier. I'm just going to tell you all that Zapier is the company that when I wanted to start this company up, I said to them, would you sponsor for a year? And they said, if you're helping people build with AI, we absolutely would.
So I'm not going to promote Zapier now. I'm just going to say, if you appreciate them sponsoring, let them know in the comments, and I would appreciate you appreciating them along with me. Okay.
Thank you, Zapier, for taking a risk on me and this whole show. All right, next, Skillery. Now we're talking about people who are actually making money with what they're building.
And Skillery is now at $5 ,000 a month in verified revenue. What is Skillery? So this is a skills directory.
And I think it's out of China. Somebody in China created this. But it's not your typical skills directory that what they're branding themselves.
I think on their homepage, it says like the directory of agent skills with taste. This is where you can either pay a monthly fee or you can pay one time and outright buy all the skills in the directory. And they actually give you a demo of what the output looks like.
So you know how so many people, like they give away their skills or there's a bunch of free skills directories online and you don't know what's in them and they're super generic or you don't really know what you're getting. This is where you pay a smaller price for premium skills and you can see exactly what the output's going to look like before you buy it.
So like this skill, you know, pixel promo video. That little demo that we're seeing on the left is the exact output that you're going to get if you pay $4 .99 for the skill. So I think premium skills directories like this have a huge opportunity.
And, you know, they turn this into MRR, but you can also just outright buy individual skills, which I think is smart. So I love this one. And they got up to what?
I think it's 5K MRR in a matter of a month, I think. Yeah, look at this. September 26, they got their first $5 in here.
It's unreal. Unreal. And anyone could build something like this.
Sometimes I feel like nobody is going to buy anything because everyone's going to make their own stuff. And then I see this and I think, OK, this is simple. It's generating revenue fairly quickly.
And again, because we see it's on trust MRR, we know that it's verified revenue. Now, let's go a little bit bigger. Creative Claw is a much bigger win.
They are now up to $125 ,000 in lifetime revenue, $10 ,000 a month in MRR. A guy named Itai. in Israel has been producing this and what it does is it lets you you know how Claude can't do images and videos it lets you add that ability into Claude but not just Claude it allows you to add it into into OpenClaw, into Codex.
Codex has decent stuff, but not enough. Grokbot, I don't think has it dialed in yet. And so with one MCP, you get to make it into much more of an artist.
And these are some of the examples of what it does. And what I like about this, I'm talking a lot about this, but what I love about what he did here is he didn't invent any of it. He's basically pulling together his own subscriptions to all these different tools that make images and make videos and do voiceovers.
And he's giving you access to it for price. I think anyone could have built something like this, and it's just fantastic. And it's pay -per -use, too, which, again, I love.
I think that's where everything's heading. It's heading to pay for usage or just one -time payment to be able to have access to this thing, and then that's it. So, again, I think this is smart.
I think we talk about if you want to turn this into a... cash flowing business. I mean, this guy's done exactly that, like turning things that already exist, just kind of putting pieces together and turning it into a business.
So I love seeing things like this. And for a lot of people, this just makes so much more sense than going to 11 labs and paying for a subscription and going into, uh, Hey Jen and creating a subscription there. And it's just a pain in the neck.
I love that he put it all together. Okay. Next, uh, after creative claw is this thing called vibe code dot.
And I love how you found this tweet where he says, I have three paying customers without any marketing. Yay. And then he tweeted a little bit afterwards and said, now I've got my fourth paying customer.
What is vibe coding? So this is just a, I think this is just a really good example of a AI tool directory done right. So if you look at it, I mean, it's super simple.
Like you're not having to click around to a bunch of different internal pages. Like it's just all laid out there on one page. And it doesn't have that vibe -coded feel either.
This actually looks like a very nice, concise, clean, minimalistic directory. And how they're monetizing it looks like is you can pay for a sponsored spot. So I think at the bottom left, there's a sponsorship button.
I think they're charging $350 for a sponsored spot, which that pretty much just puts you at the top of the directory and says, hey, this is a sponsored tool placement. And they've got them broken out by, I think, um, what do they say?
Like building or making, you know, they, so they've got it categorized in a nice neat way too. Yeah. And even like design, like I would, I would come back to this directory just to find the, the design, uh, tools that it mentions.
Right. Like, so I, I just love this. It's so simple and, and a very, very well executed directory in my mind.
In a day, somebody could have created this and then started to get some revenue. And I love that he's bringing in revenue and talking about it. Here's another one.
Tiny Pop -Ups got my second paying customer on tinypopups .com. Here is the site. You found this.
What is this? So this is a tool that allows you to embed like a little widget on your website. to where you can set the trigger, right?
So you can trigger this little tiny, it's called tiny pop -ups because you can trigger a tiny pop -up to pop up on your webpage and it can be triggered by, you know, the certain user demographics. It can be triggered when somebody lands on a specific page, it can be triggered from a specific event and the tiny pop -up can say whatever you want it to say, right?
You can say, Hey, you know, help us improve, fill out a feedback survey or subscribe to us on Instagram or enter your email, right? Like it's, it's basically just intelligent, website pop -ups that take five it takes five minutes to install this on your website they claim that they've got like a 30 reply rate on the pop -up so you know if you've got if you put a tiny pop -up on your website asking for people to input their email address to subscribe to your newsletter you know if you're getting 100 visitors to your site a day that's 30 new email opt -ins per day right according to their numbers so and there's obviously There's so many more.
You can get super creative with it, but I love it. I think this is smart. I'd be a customer of this for sure.
I think this is more of a simpler option for people that don't want to get into Clogged Code or Codex and build this into their site by hand. But for the person that just wants five minutes and done, this is an awesome product. Congratulations on your first customers.
All right, we've got a bunch of great products here. And if you like these, we've got others for you to watch. And we'll see you in that video.
