I'll bribe you to roast my AI

_{Day 43/100}

Hey—It's Tim. 

Echo went live on Thursday at 2:37pm.

By 6:15pm, someone had already made an Echo, tested it, and sent me this:

That's the whole game right there.

Then another dropped in

Not "professional tone." Not "brand voice." You. But scalable.

Here's the deal

I want 50 more of those messages this week.

So I'm bribing you.

The challenge:

1. Make an Echo of your writing

2. Generate one piece of content with it

3. Screenshot it + send me what you think (good, bad, ugly - I want it all)

What you get:

• All your credits back for testing.

• Your testimonial might end up on our homepage

• How I’m fixing any issues we have

• A reply from me (I read every single one)

What I get:

• Proof this thing actually works in the wild

• Honest feedback before we scale it

• Content for our launch sequence

• The satisfaction of seeing you win

Why am I doing this on a Saturday?

Because yesterday at 11:46pm, I was still in Figma tweaking the onboarding flow.

Then I realized: the people who care enough to test this on a weekend are exactly the people I want feedback from.

You're not waiting for "business hours" to ship. Neither am I.

So let's make something weird happen this week.
Wave Two is just around the corner, and I wanna make my dev’s sweat.

The fine print (that isn't really fine print)

• This offer expires Friday 24th at midnight

• I'm capping it at 50 people (first come, first served)

• Credits go back into your account within 48 hours of your testimonial

• You can say it sucks. I'd rather know now than later.

• If you say it's "pretty good" I'm not counting it. Give me specifics.

Three ways this goes:

Scenario A: You make an Echo, it's perfect, you tell everyone, I look like a genius. You look like a genius for knowing a genius and using genius things. We both win.

Scenario B: You make an Echo, it's weird, you tell me why, I fix it Monday, you still get your credits.

Scenario C: You ignore this email, test it in three months, and kick yourself for not getting free credits when you had the chance.

I'm betting on A or B.

Ready?

Hit reply with "I'm in" and I'll send you the walkthrough.

Or just go make one right now: app.penfriend.ai/echo

Then send proof as a reply to this email. [email protected] 

I'll be checking my inbox all weekend like a psychopath waiting for pizza.

See you in my DMs.

P.S. The real reason I'm doing this

Last night, someone asked me: "Why would you give away credits? That's revenue."

Here's the thing.

I'd rather have 50 pieces of real feedback from people who actually use Penfriend than 50 pieces of content sitting in a Google Doc collecting dust.

You winning = me winning.

That's not marketing fluff.

That's just numbers that makes sense.

P.P.S. If you're reading this but thinking "maybe later"

Later is when everyone else shows up.

Right now? It's just us.

The early, weird, willing-to-test-shit-on-a-Saturday crowd.

This is your bat signal.

Don't ignore it.
