Assistant email open source : résoudre son propre problème à 10K+ MRR

Elie built Inbox Zero to fix his own email overload from running a previous business, after realizing a human assistant would be too expensive and an AI could do the job instead.

“When running a previous business, I spent way too much time on email, following up with clients, and staying on top of what mattered.”

Elie built early interest through a pre-launch landing page and waitlist rather than an existing audience or paid acquisition.

“I was able to establish some interest in the product beforehand.”

Elie intentionally delayed his Product Hunt launch until he already had a handful of paying customers from his pre-launch waitlist audience.
