This weekend, @Astra__AI surpassed 10 million registered users.

It all started with a simple message from @klemenselakovic: "Want to build Astra AI?"

Three years later... 10 million registered users. 194 countries. One of the fastest-growing startups in Europe.

0€ in VC funding.

Bootstrapped from Slovenia. 🇸🇮

What still blows my mind is how we got here.

No big launch, no investors, no safety net.

Just a small team shipping relentlessly, week after week, while everyone said bootstrapping at this scale was impossible.

We're building the best AI tutoring product, accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world.

Next stop: 100M.

Včeraj zvečer smo v @Astra__AI dodali ustni izpit.

V samo parih urah so uporabniki z našim AI tutorjem govorili 8.796 minut. To je približno 147 ur pogovorov, skoraj en poln mesečni delovnik.

Prej si za to potreboval starša, sošolca, inštruktorja ali učitelja ...

Try it out 🤳

1.5M users @Astra__AI

500k in the last 30 days alone. 🚀

This is just the beginning.

@cavarlacic @samlambert @supabase We did the exact same thing. Sleeping much better running on planetscale!

[Andrej P. Skraba @SkrabaAndrej]

Today @Astra__AI surpassed 1,000,000 users. 🚀

It took us more than a year and a half to reach our first 100,000 users.

Then it took us half a year to reach half a million...

We acquired the last 500 thousand users in just over a month.

Next stop: 10M 💙

@rauchg @vercel You rock! 🤘

[Tjaž Silovsek @silovsek]

@MichaelArnaldi Would love to join! Not using it yet, but I am eager to introduce it in our company.

[Tjaž Silovsek @silovsek]

@rauchg @v0 Any plan to support google ai studio not just vertex?

[Tjaž Silovsek @silovsek]

@OfficialLoganK When will it be compatible to be used with user defined tools?

[Tjaž Silovsek @silovsek]

@zaidmukaddam @lgrammel You can just remap from old structure to new one when fetching from db.

[Tjaž Silovsek @silovsek]

@pranaygp @vercel Great job! Can't wait to try it. When can i join the beta?

[Tjaž Silovsek @silovsek]

@nizzyabi @theo @resend I hate resend pricing. Hitting a hard sending limit without warning is a real problem. Choosing a higher tier means paying for emails we don't use.

Usage-based limits with safeguards would be a much better solution.

[Tjaž Silovsek @silovsek]

@rauchg @jarredsumner When can we expect bun on vercel? 😄

[Tjaž Silovsek @silovsek]

@patloeber Is there a plan to fix flash-2.5 tool calling and early stoping?

[Tjaž Silovsek @silovsek]

@nicoalbanese10 Love it! When can we expect this also in stream text?

[Tjaž Silovsek @silovsek]

@openrouter @am_b__ @vercel Yes, all the prompts were larger (10k+ input tokens)

[Tjaž Silovsek @silovsek]

@openrouter @am_b__ @vercel Does it need to be enabled somehow? I am trying with flash-2.5 and flash-2.0, but for both I am unable to get any caching. (When inspecting generations "usage_cache" is always null)

[Tjaž Silovsek @silovsek]

@OfficialLoganK Fantastic model, really smashed our evals!! When can we expect to get some higher rate limits, so we can put it in production?

[Tjaž Silovsek @silovsek]

@OfficialLoganK @Vish_owl Still happening occasionally, but much better! Thank you for quick response, gemini is great :)

[Astra AI @Astra__AI]

Novo šolsko leto je tu in vsi imajo "back to school" akcije – @Astra__AI pa je resno back to school! 🙂

Med poletjem smo trdo delali in razširili našo ekipo - welcome @silovsek in @anej_zaler! 💪☀️

✨ Kaj je novega?👇
