15 month old peeing on potty

We recently got a potty/stool to attach to our toilet, with no intention to fully potty train yet, but just introduce the idea to my daughter. I let her sit on it clothed, let her watch me use the potty, etc. just to get her comfortable.

3 days in a row, I said “ok time to go potty” and put her on it, and she peed! I didn’t really have a plan for if she actually started using it, because she’s still so young and I’m not sure if she could comprehend going all out, with diaper-off potty training.

I’m looking for advice on next steps. I’ve really only been putting her on the potty at random times when we are already in the bathroom, but am not sure if I should be putting more effort into this now that I know shes capable.

Is it worth it to challenge her more this young? Or should I continue with keeping things gradual and maybe try 1-2 times a day for a month or two, then eventually try to get to the point where she can tell me when she has to go(because we’re not there yet.)

If anyone has any experience with a similar situation, I’d love some feedback. I don’t feel the need to rush this, but want to make sure I’m not going to confuse her more by not having a routine.
