It sold one promise that a customer can measure: a first reply to every new lead within 10 seconds. It sold this to businesses that already pay for many leads through Meta ads. A demo on the website brought sales calls through organic search before the product was built. Revenue then fell from US$9,000 to US$12,000 a month in late 2025 to under US$2,000 in September 2026. In the same months the founder launched other products.

One founder was a device sales rep. He built the tool for his own territory first, so the first customers came from his own industry contacts. Medical aesthetics is paid in cash by patients, so there is no insurance claims data that the usual healthcare sales tools sell. The founders sell to a few large customers, run the support and research work with AI agents instead of staff, and took no outside money.

It moved from a debt-collection tool to AI sales conversations on WhatsApp after a customer asked for exactly that part. Diario Financiero reported in December 2024 that the founders had built an internal product, Iris, to manage WhatsApp conversations. A customer asked to use it for sales and re-enrolment campaigns. Camhi said the team saw that this customer cared about Iris and not about collections. Camhi said that a founder's video about automating WhatsApp with ChatGPT went viral, and the team decided to focus fully on conversational sales.

Sales reps usually learn on real prospects, which costs the company leads. The founders turned role-play, which normally needs a manager or a colleague as partner, into a short daily exercise on the phone. Charaniya described it to Hypepotamus as the "Duolingo for sales". The company then moved up from single reps to sales teams in solar, home services, insurance and car sales. In those teams each rep is a paid seat.

The founder took a twenty-year-old product category with no open-source entry and open-sourced all of it. This gave him millions of Docker downloads and 37,000 GitHub stars without a marketing budget. Revenue stayed small for a year. It multiplied when he turned the product toward people who automate their posting with n8n workflows and, from late 2025, with AI agents. Agents need an API-first scheduler and keep paying because they post without human effort.

The founder had an audience before the product existed. He had a daily YouTube show about SEO since 2023 and an X account that has 62,000 followers today.

The product started as one plain rank tracker at US$19 a month, and grew into a bundle at US$57 to US$2,997 a month. By July 2025 the first payment of a new customer from a paid ad covered the cost of that ad.

Tradespeople already use WhatsApp all day on the job site, and many write quotes by hand or in a spreadsheet. Tutti puts the office work into that chat, so the customer has nothing new to install or learn.

Its founders wrote some of the methods that the industry already used to run models cheaply, such as AWQ for 4-bit weights. They turned that research into a paid serving API.

A small, steady flow of downloads, about 2,500 in 28 days in October 2026, keeps about 150 paid subscriptions alive. The owner is an experienced app marketer who already sells more than a dozen other apps from the same developer account.
