Quotes

  • “Something that we did that's really cool recently is that we created a platform that uses AI to write marketing texts. So literally, you enter all this information about your audience..”

  • “What we do is we jot down your ideas. We put them and I say, we really just codify them to make sure that they all fit together.”

  • “We have this beautiful thing that we are actually able to allow our clients to see as we're working on the app daily. So you literally get it on your phone. As we push new changes, you're able to see it.”

  • “As long as the client understands what they're building beyond that we really have very few problems with it because of the way that we do it. We kind of slow walk in the beginning and then it's go-time once we know what we'll do.”

  • “The secret to making sure people even care to download your app in the first place is familiarity. A lot of people like to go way off because it's the latest, coolest thing ever… people use things that people are very familiar with.”

  • “People don't have time to learn how to use your product. They want to feel like it's something that already integrates into their busy lives.”
