Cold messaging on Facebook + word-of-mouth growth. We found people in one large Facebook group.

To get 1,000, we used SEO.

Our product helps people get ready for the Duolingo English Test, so our target audience was well-defined from the beginning.

I could not agree more with this. I think as the quantity of content increases, quality content will only increase in value.

Because we're just 2 people, the only team we have is us :) That's why whatever our focus is becomes the next phase of our roadmap.

This is the most thought-provoking company I’ve encountered in a long time. Congrats on doing genuinely interesting innovation.

Speaking as a potential user, my biggest hang up is trust. How can I trust that Roundtable’s results are accurate and not the result of hallucination?

One of the powerful things about data is that they surprise you. This is why data integrity is so important (“crap in, crap out” as the old adage goes). But if I get a surprising result from Roundtable, how can I verify it? I think you two are already thinking about this and building features to address it.

I’m also wondering if trying to verify a surprising result from Roundtable is the wrong response…Why would a LLM give me that answer? There may be something useful to understand about why the LLM is “hallucinating.” In terms of features, it may be interesting to see whether Roundtable’s LLM could explain its answer.

The UX could be like having a brilliant but inscrutable research assistant…

You identified exactly the cycles I’m trying to speed up.

Another way to phrase my question would be: What are the cycles that I will likely encounter and what can I do now to be better prepared for them?
