Seven days, not two months
On August 19 Benjamin talked about two-month pilots. The customer says they'll get to it later. We never hear what they thought, and we've wasted a lot of time on them for nothing.
A trial of seven days is different, he said. You know that if you skip three of those days, you've wasted your own time.
You get seven days, not two months. We'd rather launch Mellovy and sharpen it with your feedback than polish it forever before launch.

Do you, though
The same day, Benjamin suggested asking for a small sum up front. The sum is a symbol, he said. If they won't pay even that, you've found a tire kicker before you spend a week on them.
Some companies I called said they wanted to grow big. Do you, though? I hated holding that question back. You can't ask a company that on a cold call without it sounding rude.
Joining the waitlist answers it, and the card you put in before your first run answers it again. I care more about the things I had to take a step to get, and I'd bet you do too.

From tomorrow
In Mellovy, an AI colleague works in your tools on a whole computer of its own. You get in through the waitlist or an invite from someone who's already in, not by signing up.
When your spot comes up, you get an invite by email and start from there. You get the same invite whether you run the company alone or with a bigger team.
You get seven days with a small amount of work included. Before your colleague's first run you put your card in through Stripe, and it stays there untouched until you choose to upgrade.
When the seven days are up, your colleague pauses. It doesn't start new work until you upgrade, and we never turn your trial into a subscription behind your back.
Say you ask your colleague on day one to book a meeting with a customer for Thursday. Mellovy checks your calendar, not the colleague's own report, and you still have six days left to tell us what it got wrong.
We open tomorrow. If you want it, join the waitlist. Then use all seven days.
