# You built it — how to get the first users

Updated daily, last 2026-11-12

Search cases by tactic rather than by category: 3,000+ rising products, each with a write-up of the exact channels and moves that got it users.

## Once connected, ask your agent

- I launched a budgeting app two weeks ago with 30 downloads — how do I get the first users?

- How do open-source projects go from 50 to 1,000 stars? Find recent examples

- Which products took off through TikTok creators, and what exactly did they do?

## The tools it will use

- `products(growth='channel or tactic')`: search cases by tactic

- `products(key=…, part='growth')`: read exactly how one case grew

- `data`: verify quotes and numbers in the ad libraries, X and Hacker News

Advice is tied to specific cases with quotes, numbers, dates and sources; where the databases have no evidence, it says so.
