What would you do differently from day one? Focus on retention from the start. The product converts well — we proved that. But we prioritized acquisition over retention, which is common at our stage. We hit 13% monthly churn in August 2025 without dedicated retention efforts, which shows what's possible when it's actually prioritized. Adding stickiness features (saved docs, usage streaks, team workspaces) and pushing annual plans harder from launch would have changed the trajectory. What levers does a new operator need to pull? We built this with three people and about five hours a week of work — and never built a single feature dedicated to keeping users. That's the clearest sign of how much room is left. Retention is the highest-leverage fix. Beyond that: add adjacent writing tools (grammar, citations, paraphrasing) so users come back daily instead of per project. Open a B2B channel for agencies and SEO shops who need this at volume. Activate the 300K email list that's never been touched. And the biggest opportunity — we already have the infrastructure in place to expand beyond text into image and video detection. AI-generated content is moving into every format, and detection is following it. This isn't a shrinking market, it's a market that's just getting started. If given $1M today? Product (retention features: Chrome extension, doc history, team plans, API access). Channel expansion (Google Ads, TikTok, affiliates, and activating the email list, UGC campaign expansion). B2B sales (agencies and freelance marketplaces paying multiples of consumer pricing). And expansion into image and video detection using existing infrastructure — that's where the market is headed and we're already positioned for it.
