We recently launched a free chart generator (CSV/Excel charts) alongside our main product not as part of our free tier, but as a completely no-signup tool.

The goal is to let people experience the value immediately that aha moment of turning raw data into a clean chart before asking for anything.

Two months ago I typed "open chrome and find latest news" into Claude Code and got:

I can't open Chrome or control your browser. I'm a code assistant, I work with files, run shell commands, and help with software engineering tasks.

We launched Velo on Product Hunt this morning without expecting anything.

I thought we'd spend the day refreshing the upvote counter. Instead, I got hooked on reading every comment, watching sign-ups roll in, and seeing users create their first Velo in real time.
