Curiosity Quench

I Couldn’t Code 1 Year Ago, Now I Make $10K/Month

Starter Story Research Notes:

This guy's name is Jack Friks

He built 2 apps with AI

1. Curiosity Quench

  • $1,500/month
  • 30K users
  • Platform that helps you stop doom scrolling
  • Makes money through subscriptions in the app

2. Post Bridge

  • $13,000/month
  • 2500 users
  • Basically another social media scheduling tool
  • Makes money through monthly subscriptions on the site

Okay these are cool but, I wanted to dive a little deeper into this guy’s background.

So I found these two tweets that show off how he built with AI:

Tweet 1: a little over one year ago:

Main takeaway: you need to start just playing around with these tools

Tweet 2: Marketing

Our takeaways:

You need to MARKET your app and this is the playbook!!

Now... he's actually building another app with AI

Main Takeaways:

  1. In multiple posts he talks about how he solved his own problem using AI coding… and others wanted that solution too
  2. He builds and ships fast with Cursor.
  3. He MARKETS the product on a bunch of platforms (this is actually his main secret sauce)
  4. And he’s building an audience as he’s building shit (built-in distribution)
