After the initial launch of the Beta version of the Automatic AI app, the founders reached a major milestone—10,000 active users. However, they quickly realized that their initial product was only the beginning. Despite the early success, feedback from customers revealed areas for improvement, and Automatic AI faced the challenge of refining their product to meet growing user expectations.

Listening closely to their customers, the team rolled up their sleeves and got to work on developing Version 1 (V1) of the app. This update addressed key pain points and introduced exciting new features aimed at enhancing the user experience. From goal-setting functionalities to improved analytics, profile creation, and better shot AI, V1 was a game-changer.

The impact was immediate. User engagement soared, and the app's user base more than doubled, growing from 10,000 to 22,000 users. On top of that, users were taking nearly twice as many shots on the updated version of the app, demonstrating not only the app’s improved functionality but also how well it resonated with its audience.

Launching V1 was a pivotal moment for Automatic AI. It wasn't just about adding features—it was about listening to their users, improving the experience, and creating something that could scale with their growing customer base. As a result, the app became more user-friendly, offering a polished interface and intuitive tools that aligned with the users’ needs. The app's success also highlighted the importance of being flexible and willing to pivot as necessary to stay relevant in a competitive market.

In January 2024, the Automatic AI team made another significant leap with a major software update, further refining the user interface and making the app even more accessible. As the user base continued to grow and the product matured, the team's dedication to improvement and responsiveness to feedback remained at the forefront of their strategy.

The success of V1 and the continuous development of Automatic AI set the stage for the company's ongoing expansion. By embracing a culture of feedback and refining their product based on user insights, Julien and Andrew were able to lay a strong foundation for their next phase of growth. The app now stood as a testament to the importance of constant iteration, customer-centric development, and the willingness to evolve in the face of challenges.

With a loyal and growing user base, the company was in a strong position to focus on even greater innovations, expand its features and improve its user experience to meet the demands of its customers. This commitment to growth, combined with their entrepreneurial drive, positioned Automatic AI as a promising player in the sports technology industry.
