Mission → 1k teams to adopt weekly prod. discovery. 📈 curr: 15/1000

Hey - I'm Niko,

after coaching 30+ teams on Product Discovery I realized one thing.
The single biggest action any product team can take, is getting to talk to users, every week.

That's why we started juttu.co
>> A tool that automates having two user interviews in your calendar - with the right people - at the right time - every week.

After working with product leaders and coaching teams on the best practices, I realized that the first step is getting team to "just talk to their users".

If you want your teams to be empowered and built user-centric products - this is where it starts!

Do you want to press PLAY on Continuous Discovery? 
>> Give juttu.co a try at https://juttu.co/

Want to chat? 
Drop me an email at niko@juttu.co

In any case, have a great day ahead.
And keep building products users love.

Niko

not going to lie.
haven't been posting cause AI-generated content everywhere.
and i wasn't sure what to contribute here on LinkedIn.

so i went and touched some grass instead.

but I cleaned up my feed.
and my brain.

following founders and product leaders like David Finnegan, iuliia shnai, Charlotte Schmitt, Louise de Sadeleer etc. has restored my faith in ... well humanity on LinkedIn.

working without distractions on AI-agent-systems for weeks has cleared my brain.
I'm as excited about tech as I've ever been.
and as I get to work on things like mastra ai (typescript agent framework) 40h a week, well, I learn a thing or too.

and i'm going to be sharing that.

building ai products.
finding customers.
b2b SaaS stuff.

and up the transparency.
spoiler: I might even be coached in public this week.

alright, back to dancing with the new claude opus.

Reduce subscription churn with smart cancel-flows

Idiot or genius? 
We just made Juttu freemium as a self-funded team.  

Conventional wisdom says freemium kills focus and margins. 

I disagree. 

If you have fewer than 50 cancellations a month, Juttu is free forever. 

Why?

Small teams need churn analysis early.
Not after the leak becomes a flood.  

Most think retained revenue is the headline. 
The real win is knowing why people leave, fast. 

Our cancel flow surfaces reasons and retention plays.
You get the smartest cancel flow without building one.  

The bet is simple. 
If we help you keep customers now, the upgrade later is obvious. 

Usage caps create a path to paid, support stays sane, and we gather sharper product signals. 

I will report back how it goes.  

If you were me, what metric would you watch in the first 60 days? Have you tried freemium in B2B, where did it work or break?  


P.S.  Hey, I'm Niko.  I'm building a retention tooling SaaS in public. Talking about AI, B2B subscriptions, pricing, and all that good stuff.  Follow along if that's your jam.

Feels like every month now we have a major outage?
Last month AWS.
This month Cloudflare.

They proxy 10% of ALL internet traffic.

When AWS goes, Netflix goes.
When Cloudflare goes twitter goes.
But also Supabase (a big database provider).

Man this internet is getting centralized.
Back to self hosting websites we go?

honestly?

ah, and John Rush is a cool guy to follow.

New release: Paddle integration is now live at juttu.co 

Stripe was our starting point, but many people told us:
“Love this… but we’re using Paddle.”

So we shipped:
- Plug in Paddle 
-	Create your flow and retention offers
-	Retention and cancellations are automatically synced into Paddle (it stays the source of truth)

Excited to see what you’ll build with it.

AI did not kill SaaS, it raised the bar for people who ship.  

Reality check. 
The hot take that we will not need software anymore is self centered. 

If you wake up to solve real problems, and code can help, you still have a job. 
People use coded products every day. 
The work is to build something clearly better than a quick internal script.  


Example from our shop:

Our first AI cancel flow was basic. 
Prospects said, I can build this. 
Fair. 

Then we added smart offers, on the fly churn analysis, and tight UX. 
Now it is obvious they should not build it in house. 
We keep improving it so they do not have to.  

What actually wins:
Not raw code, the cost of thinking, maintenance, and iteration. 
Most teams do not want their scope to explode. 
They focus on their edge, they outsource the rest to specialists who ship weekly. 

The bar is higher, not gone.  

Where do you draw the build versus buy line today? What would make you switch from DIY to a product?

If you only track one number this year, make it this one.

NRR >100% → your customers get value, stay longer, and pay more over time.
NRR <100% → your existing revenue is shrinking, even if your top-line growth looks great.

It’s one of the first numbers investors look at.
Because it shows the quality of your revenue, not just the quantity.

I’m doing a series on core retention metrics for SaaS, and this one had to come first.

Here’s how it works 👇

I just automated our entire lead qualification process and it felt great. Here's how:

We were spending 10+ hours/week manually checking pricing pages. Not anymore:

Full n8n workflow walkthrough below. I recorded the whole thing.

1. Fetch new leads from our database → filter for unqualified ones.
2. Generate and test likely pricing URLs to avoid wasting AI calls.
3. Scrape the real pricing page with Firecrawl → analyze with OpenAI → push structured output back into Coda.

Result: Hours saved daily + far more consistent scoring.
We finally spend our time talking to people who actually need us.

Is this taking #buildinpublic too far?
David reviews our business Juttu in public. On YouTube.

Link in comments.
Here my thoughts on it.

We have our first customers. 
The product reduces cancellations, saves revenue for SaaS businesses.

But obviously the challenge now is to improve how we
- solve the problem of our customers
- find new customers
Every day.

And while most startups (especially here on LinkedIn) pose to be WAY BIGGER than they actually are, I thought:
"What founder/product content would I like to have seen 5 years ago?"

Well, and that's where the idea for David coaching me in public came from.
Cool idea? Taking it too far with the transparency?

This is an experiment.
Let us know what you think.
Pls. Thx.

The AI-slide wars.
When model providers move to the application layer.

I love Gamma, and that new round, almost 70 million at a 2 billion valuation, proves how fast this space moves. Big value created, big creative destruction coming. 

(value because Gamma is profitable)

Now Kimi shipped Agentic Slides with Nano Banana Pro (Google newest image gen), plus their LLM, search to create to edit in one flow.

On paper, same job as Gamma. As always, demo videos look magical. The only way to know is to run your own test. 

Here is my 20 minute test for real value:
- ask LLM to summarize slides you already have (with figures, details)
- give it to Kimi
- edit layouts
- generate infographics with (hopefully) accurate text
My first test were surprisingly accurate with enough context.

Luckily I don't have urgent need for creating many slide decks right now.
But if you know somebody at McKinsey, maybe send this post to them <3

The model providers going to the app layer is interesting though.
