HOW IT WORKS

Get started in
5 steps.

01

Build something developers need

The best dev tools solve real pain points. Build something you'd pay for yourself. Focus on developer experience — rough edges frustrate your target market more than most.

02

Connect your repo

Connect your GitHub repo to Revnu. We open a PR that integrates AI agents into your tool's landing page and docs site.

03

Merge and let AI work

Review the PR, merge it, and AI agents start working. A/B testing your landing page, writing SEO content, analyzing visitor behavior.

04

Create professional docs

Developers judge tools by documentation quality. Good docs reduce friction and build trust.

05

Launch where developers are

Hacker News, relevant subreddits, Dev.to, Twitter/X developer community. Word of mouth matters in dev tools.

01

Landing Page Optimization

AI A/B tests your tool's landing page. Headlines, CTAs, feature highlights, pricing layout. Ten variants at once.

02

SEO Content Generation

AI writes articles targeting keywords developers search for. Get found in Google and ChatGPT results automatically.

03

Session Replay Analysis

AI watches how developers interact with your docs and landing page. Finds where they get confused or drop off.

Track competing dev tools. Their pricing, keywords, positioning. Get summaries, not research projects.
