I made Fastlane, an AI tool that turns your app into viral short-form content (3,000+ users so far)
Hey everyone, I’m Gaurav
I built something called Fastlane (https://usefastlane.ai) and we recently crossed 3,000+ users, so thought I’d share it here
The idea came from a pretty simple frustration
Building apps has become insanely easy
Getting users is still ridiculously hard
I kept seeing founders ship genuinely great products… and then just struggle to get anyone to see them
Everyone says the same thing:
“I can build, but I don’t know how to market”
So I started thinking about what actually works right now, and it’s pretty obvious
Short-form content
TikTok, Reels, Shorts
That’s where attention is
But making content consistently is painful:
You don’t know what to post
You don’t know what’s trending
It takes forever to make anything
Most posts flop
So most people just avoid it altogether
So I built Fastlane
You enter your website, and it:
- understands your product
- looks at what’s trending in your niche
- generates ready-to-post videos (hooks, formats, scripts)
Then the UI is super simple:
Swipe right = post it
Swipe left = skip it
Basically like a Tinder for content
So instead of sitting there trying to “come up with ideas”, you’re just picking from stuff that already works
Some early results have been pretty crazy
One user went from $0 to $1,500 in a few weeks
and pulled in 250k+ views just from content generated inside Fastlane
We’ve also seen people go from never posting anything…
to posting daily across TikTok, IG and YouTube
Biggest thing I’ve learned building this:
Distribution is honestly more important than the product now
If no one sees what you built, it doesn’t matter how good it is
Still a lot we’re figuring out though, especially around new accounts getting low views (because they aren't warmed up) and making content more creative.
Would genuinely love feedback from other builders here, especially if you’ve struggled with marketing
Curious what’s actually worked for you guys to get users?
And yeah, if you want to check it out:
