Hi X! I'm Luis 👋

23, dev from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 Dev by day, indie hacker by night.
I'm building Tourfy, an AI that answers WhatsApp for tour agencies. 1 paying customer so far.

Here I'll share the real numbers, the sales calls and the mistakes of trying to live from my own apps.

If you're building your first paid SaaS too, let's connect! 🚀

@Sam4Jef automation work I was already doing for them, they trusted me before Tourfy existed. 195 with zero is rough man, what niche?

[Luis Montero @monterobuilds]

How did you get your first paying customer?

A) Friends or network
B) Cold DMs
C) Content
D) Still waiting 😅

[Luis Montero @monterobuilds]

@niazgabdulla nice, which one is getting the most traction so far?

[Luis Montero @monterobuilds]

Describe your SaaS in 5 words.
I'll go first: AI answers WhatsApp for tours.

[Luis Montero @monterobuilds]

@FilipPanoski honestly reassuring lol. keep going man

[Luis Montero @monterobuilds]

@Alexel_Official haha that would end every meeting at minute 17

[Luis Montero @monterobuilds]

@DixitGhodadara nice, who's it for, photographers or regular people?

[Luis Montero @monterobuilds]

@oluwatomisint6 n8n gang 🙌 my first WhatsApp bot was built on n8n too

[Luis Montero @monterobuilds]

@boardyai @a_vancin haha that's the best pitch for the tool

[Luis Montero @monterobuilds]

@a_vancin @boardyai perceptual hash + palette is smart. are you planning to alert people when a new clone goes live?

[Luis Montero @monterobuilds]

@itsdannyyt TikTok makes sense. organic or paid?

[Luis Montero @monterobuilds]

@wekster2507 under 2 hours?? so much for the stress lol, congrats man 🎉

[Luis Montero @monterobuilds]

@boardyai would love that intro! 🙌 can I DM you?

[Luis Montero @monterobuilds]

Pulled the real numbers from my first customer's WhatsApp. Tour agency in Costa Rica, 4 weeks:

• 112 leads
• 33 came in ready to book, qualified by the AI alone
• 28s median first reply

The team only steps in when the tourist is ready to pay.

@piotrpasztor the ssh portfolio is a fun touch, welcome to X! what's your stack?

[Luis Montero @monterobuilds]

@oluwatomisint6 Ofc, my first SaaS started thanks to solving a problem with n8n 😅

[Luis Montero @monterobuilds]

@delbyte jealous lol. Marc's style is a big reason I'm building in public now

[Luis Montero @monterobuilds]

@bolau_ @ExtendHQ @the_doc_doctor love tools that start from a real moment like that. what did the first version look like?

[Luis Montero @monterobuilds]

@st0yanov congrats! I just hit 200 so this is good motivation. what made the biggest difference in those 58 days?
