My Saas got its first paying customer last week!!!

So, for the past two months I've been building Assertio.ai out of my decade long SEO content writing workflow. I built it to write, rewrite, and score content at the claim level so it actually says something instead of producing AI slop.

Last week I got my first paying subscription. It's only 59 bucks but I wept a little.

We're currently at 198 users in the past 7 days.

Until a few weeks ago I was staring at zero conversions on cold traffic and wondering if the whole thing was broken. Turned out the ad targeting was misconfigured. But that's water under the bridge.

Rn, I'm in a good mood, so: any new account gets 5 free articles to write or rewrite with Assertio.

Feel free to push them to your site if you like them, I'll be happy to assist.

Assertio: a multi-agent writing tool for content that actually says something

​

Built this from my own SEO content workflow. As an SEO guy, I kept running into the same wall: AI writing tools (and human writers too) produce fluent text that says almost nothing, vague qualifiers, unfalsifiable claims, padding dressed up as paragraphs.

Assertio is built to fix that. It uses speech act theory and propositional density methodology (Kintsch & van Dijk) to check output at the claim level. Every piece gets scored, contradicting claims get flagged, and there's a write/rewrite loop to fix weak sections before publishing.

It's a multi-agent pipeline: research, draft, then a critic step that gates output on an IQS (Information Quality Score, my own metric) before anything counts as done.

Still early. Launched this month, single-digit users, mostly me testing plus a few comped accounts while I finish billing setup. Positioning has shifted a few times, but where it stands now: freelancers and small agencies managing multiple client portfolios who need to produce more content without it reading like generic AI slop.

Link: assertio.ai, free to try, five credits on signup, no card needed.

Brutally honest feedback on positioning and functionality is welcome. I know some of the weak spots, probably not all of them.

Assertio: a multi-agent writing tool that generates answer-first content that says something

Built this out of my own SEO content workflow. I'm an SEO guy who kept hitting the same problem: AI writing tools (human writers as well) produce fluent text that says almost nothing, vague qualifiers, unfalsifiable claims, padding dressed up as paragraphs.

It's a multi-agent pipeline: research, draft, then a critic step that gates output on an IQS (Information Quality Score my own scoring) before it's considered done.

Still early. Launched this month, single-digit users, mostly me testing plus a couple comped accounts while I finish billing setup. I've pivoted the positioning a few times, but where it's standing as of now: freelancers and small agencies handling multiple client portfolios who need to produce more content without it reading like generic AI slop.

Link: https://assertio.ai - it's free to try it out. Each signed up user gets five free credits, no card needed.

What I'm looking for: Brutally honest feedback on positioning and functionality. I'm aware of some weaknesses, but may not be aware of others.
