Show HN: Smarketly–The Marketing CoFounder I Built Because No One Saw My Product

https://smarketly.lema-lema.com/
3•abilafredkb•8mo ago
I'm Frederick, a builder from Ghana where our tech ecosystem is still emerging. For years, I created solutions that died in obscurity—not because they weren't good, but because marketing felt like an impossible mountain to climb without resources or expertise. After watching my best ideas disappear into the void, I built what I desperately needed: an AI marketing partner that works like a team member, not just another tool. Smarketly's AI assistant June:

Hunts for qualified leads in communities where your users already exist Crafts personalized outreach that doesn't trigger spam filters or cringe reflexes Develops marketing strategies calibrated to your specific growth stage Generates conversion-focused content in your authentic voice

I built this because the "build it and they will come" myth kills more promising products than technical challenges ever could—especially for founders outside Silicon Valley networks. This is solving my own deepest pain point as a solo founder. It's helped me reach 3x more potential users in the first month using it than in the previous six months combined. Still rough around the edges, but I'd love feedback from fellow builders who know what it's like to create something great that no one discovers. Try it: smarketly.lema-lema.com

I've been testing Smarketly for the past week, and it's solving a real problem most technical founders face. As someone who's launched three side projects that went nowhere despite good execution, I finally understand why - my marketing was practically non-existent. What's different about this AI assistant is that it actually understands product positioning. Most AI tools just rephrase things, but this one suggested communities I'd never considered for outreach and crafted messages that genuinely resonated with those specific audiences. The lead-finding feature alone saved me about 6-8 hours of manual work. For anyone who's built something good but struggles with the "getting seen" part, this is worth checking out.

Quick demo for those interested - here's a 1-minute video showing June finding relevant leads on Reddit and generating personalized outreach messages: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXuHNq9fMTk What surprised even me during development was how much better the responses are when the AI understands both product context AND the community you're reaching out to.
