It appeared in January 2023 inside Google Slides, a program where people already work, when writing slides from one sentence was new, and users showed it to each other without paid advertising. A blog about presentation topics then brought about 80% of new users from Google search, by the founder's account. Both channels weakened: search traffic fell, and Google added the same function to Slides. The verified total is real, and so is the fall: monthly revenue fell by half between February and July 2026.

It is run by a search marketer: its pages target what people type into Google, and its best month came from a list article on another company's blog that ranked there. A US$1 trial that needs a card turns visitors directly into subscribers at US$25 a month or US$99 a year.

The first customers came from a lifetime-deal sale on AppSumo, at a time when the product had no AI at all. That gave about a thousand users, word of mouth and a Powered by Guidejar link on every free guide. From April 2024 the founder sold subscriptions instead, and added AI writing, voiceover and translation to the paid plans, metered in credits.

It sold a simple promise, a finished PowerPoint file from one sentence, at a low price: in 2024 and the first half of 2025 the archived pricing showed unlimited decks for US$9.99 a month. Stripe payments read by TrustMRR add up to US$60,120 since the start. The verified monthly figures also show a steady fall after November 2025, when the plans had moved from unlimited use to slide credits, and the founder put the business up for sale.

It put a language model inside Google Sheets from November 2022, and Google's marketplace brought more than 201,000 installs. Few installs paid: US$52,136 of verified revenue in 47 months is about US$0.26 per install. Its most important result may be indirect: a request for a pitch deck for SheetAI led the founder to build MagicSlides, which by its own verified data earned about 14 times as much. SheetAI's own revenue is now falling, and Google has offered a similar AI function inside Sheets since June 2025.

It does the work in the cells instead of explaining what to paste, and it works in the Excel that people already have, without a Microsoft Copilot license. The founder already taught Excel to a large French audience. The AI models are bought by the request from OpenAI and Anthropic, so one person could build and run it.

It took a narrower job than the general AI design tools, mobile apps only, for people who build apps without design skills. The three founders reused what they had learned from four earlier design tools, built it in three weeks, and showed finished designs on X before the launch. Each new Gemini model gave them a better result and a new demo to post.

Team of 2 to 10 · 20 months after launch

The founder had sold several companies, one of them to the private equity firm KKR, by the company's About page, and found each time that owners had little visibility into what their company was worth or who might buy it. Large language models made it possible to turn financial statements and transaction data into a written valuation report in minutes, so a small team could offer a free first valuation to owners and use it to reach them years before a sale.

It launched the obvious application of a new model within weeks, with a pricing page on the first day. The founder built the parts around the model instead of a model, so every model upgrade improved the product for free. Then it moved from a consumer toy to business customers who stay.

It went where the users already were: an app in ChatGPT's app store, a plugin in Claude's directory and in Claude Code, and setups for Cursor and Codex, in the months when these directories were new. It charges per tool call instead of a share of ad spend, so a small advertiser starts at US$49 a month. And it applied to the platforms' own API programs; the company says Google approved it in June 2026 and Amazon admitted it to its partner network.

It launched in the month that AI models became good enough to write a whole app. It sold to people who cannot program, it charged from day one, and it was sold to a company that already had millions of customers.

For its first 20 months the product brought in about US$3,500 a month. Then three things came together: phone apps with weekly plans from August 2025, web plans with unlimited use at US$4 a month billed yearly, and a new group of customers, people who make songs with AI generators such as Suno and need the last step done for them. Monthly revenue rose 7.2 times between January and July 2026. No source states which of the changes caused the rise.

In the founder's words on TrustMRR, agents like OpenClaw and Hermes can take on a solo founder's busywork, but setting one up means renting a server, wiring up API keys and fixing it when it breaks. Heyron does that setup for a flat monthly price, so a non-programmer gets a working agent in about two minutes. Stripe data shows nearly US$50,000 in its first month of sales, March 2026, and US$62,946 in April.

It put the newest video models, among them ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 from 14 April 2026, inside a storyboard editor that keeps characters consistent. Revenue grew from US$645 in May 2026 to US$32,697 in July. Then it fell by three quarters by September, and no source says why.
