Yesterday our co-founder Jay Ma (@Doudoujay) asked a room of founders: has a post or a launch ever gotten you more attention than customers?
Every hand went up.
Then he asked them to keep it up if they could put a number on what that attention did to revenue. Most of the hands came down.
We know the feeling. We were building @finalroundai before @hellyeah_ai, and it got to $1M ARR on viral alone. One post did 83 million views.
Then we went after $10M and kept getting the views without the revenue.
You can't schedule a viral post or buy another one. So we put paid next to it and scored every channel on what @stripe collected.
$15M ARR in 12 months. 4.2x blended ROAS.
@hellyeah_ai came out of that. We were customer zero, then other founders asked us to run the same playbook on their accounts.
The first thing we find is broken measurement:
👉 One campaign we audited reported 2,757% ROAS on the platform. Stripe, net of refunds, said 48%. Same campaign.
👉 A client's dashboard counted 16 sales last month. Their database held 3.
👉 A streaming client paid $300 a sale bidding on purchases. 90% of their payers hit 12 streams on day one, so we moved the bid to that event and paid $80.
We fix the data before anyone touches a bid.
We got tired of doing this by hand on every account, so we built it into a product. The agent runs the audit and the budget moves, and it asks you before it spends. Google Ads today, more platforms after.
Jay got into it with @unifygtm (@DurshtE ), @shanda_group (@bei_zhang01) and Press Club (@kwangaroo) afterward about GTM and which users are worth chasing in the first place. All three of us sell to founders who need customers to show up.

A bakery owner and an app founder hit the same wall with paid ads.
Neither has time to figure it out. Both need customers yesterday. 👇

Today we’re launching a new, brief-first Creative Studio in @hellyeah_ai.
Most AI creative tools make you start with a reference image or a blank prompt.
Creative Studio starts with one brief and turns it into a complete ad set grounded in your brand.
Here’s how it works:
1. Write your campaign brief
2. Choose from 5 messaging angles
3. Pick a visual style
4. Generate multiple creative directions
5. Choose the set you want to launch
Each set includes the copy, a landscape image, and a square image.
That’s it. One brief to a launch-ready creative set.

.@ComfyUI community helps build the product.
In this conversation, @jojodecayz explains how the loop works.
The core team improves model inference. Developers turn those improvements into custom nodes and integrations. Creators combine them into workflows that others can reuse and extend.
Each channel supports a different part of the process:
@X showcases finished work.
@Reddit and @discord host technical experiments and troubleshooting.
Templates and examples help new users get started, while in-person workshops help professional users learn the system with guidance.
Together, these contributors give the next builder a larger set of tools to work with. A closed-source AI company would need to recreate that participation across the full stack, from model inference to production workflows.
Six frontier models hit our partner nodes this month. Hard-wire to one vendor and you rebuild every quarter.
We bet on the opposite. Build the graph, swap the models underneath it. A workflow in a JSON file outlives every model inside it.
That bet:
→ 4M+ users, 50K downloads a day
→ 62K GitHub stars → 106K by March
→ NVIDIA shipped NVFP4 support with us at GDC: 2.5x faster generation, 60% less VRAM on RTX 50-series
→ Silverside AI built SVEDKA's Super Bowl spot - the first primarily AI-generated Super Bowl ad on ComfyUI
→ Magnopus published its architecture for running ComfyUI on shared production infrastructure
→ "ComfyUI artist" is now a job title on studio postings
Recruiters are a lagging indicator. When they move, the argument is over.

AI advertising gets hard when one asset turns into 10,000.
A reusable workflow keeps brand assets consistent and generates variations in batches. Teams can change individual steps without rebuilding the process.
Jo Zhang, founding member of @ComfyUI, explains how marketers and agencies carry one proven production recipe across product lines and local markets. An internal team can hand the same setup to a production partner without losing the intended output.

The harsh reality of scaling: If you haven't hit your "Aha moment," every dollar poured into performance ads is just burning cash.
Yesterday, @hellyeah_ai co-hosted an amazing panel alongside @metix_ai, @ReaddyAI, and Numix.
We dug deep into the true essence of Product-Led Growth, and it sparked some serious reflections.
Here is the reality check on scaling:
🔹 @CathyChang00 : Before you scale, you have to build an MVP by doing things that don't scale.
🔹 @DanniChenGTM: If you skip this, every dollar you pour into performance ads will likely burn with a negative ROI.
🔹 Frank Zhu (@ReaddyAI): You only earn the right to scale after you hit that Aha moment.
🔹 Kin Fu (@metix_ai): Once you are ready, the essence of performance marketing is relentless A/B testing across various platforms and creative templates.
🔹 Adam Cai (Numix AI): be resilient
Conversations like this forced me to rethink our own ICP. It became crystal clear: our core users are teams that have maxed out their founder-led or community-led growth and are now hitting a bottleneck. When they need to transition into aggressive, multi-platform exploration, that’s where our platform comes in.
@hellyeah_ai act as an aggregator—allowing you to test growth strategies across multiple channels seamlessly, without the friction of endless manual syncs.

Website rebuilds get messy when you have 3 products, 123 blog posts, old URLs, customer stories and event pages.
We shipped the first pass of Hellyeah’s new site. The team’s review was blunt: less orange, more proof, and a clearer Managed Growth story.
Back to work.🫡

This “Single Until Series B” Hat🧢Became a B2B Growth Strategy
While other infrastructure founders were publishing similar technical content, @contextconor created a meme people remembered—and eventually paid to wear @hyperspell.😆
His point: AI would never recommend making this hat. That’s exactly why it worked.
When everyone can generate content, personality and trust become the last moat.
