Kuse.ai made headlines with a standout launch. The campaign hit 10 million+ views, won Product Hunt’s Product of the Day, gained international exposure through the Associated Press and CBS, and revealed $9M ARR, entirely driven by word of mouth, without ad spend.
--Kuse.ai, an emerging AI startup, made a striking debut with its launch campaign, generating over 10 million views, securing Product Hunt’s Product of the Day, and appearing on international outlets such as the CBS, Associated Press, and Benzinga.
The momentum is not only about exposure. Kuse’s story resonates with a tech community tired of hype-driven launches. The company reported $9 million ARR, achieved without venture capital funding or paid advertising. Instead, growth has been powered entirely by word-of-mouth and a product-led approach.
Kuse attributes its success to a new paradigm it calls Visual Context Engineering. While most AI tools rely on single-prompt interactions, leaving users endlessly tweaking their wording, Kuse argues the real challenge is context. Its visual AI workspace gives users the bigger picture. Instead of chat threads, users drag in messy documents, spreadsheets, videos, or images, and Kuse connects the dots into strategies, product requirement documents, or even working prototypes.
Siqi Chen, advisor to Kuse, CEO at Runway and former GM at Zynga, commented: “We’ve all probably suspected that a chatbox isn’t going to be the ultimate expression of AI, and Kuse has shown that it can be done. Visual Context Engineering is an incredibly powerful paradigm for squeezing the most out of an LLM.” As one early user put it, “It’s like if ChatGPT, a whiteboard, and Notion had a genius baby.”
Kuse is already proving its value across industries. Product managers use it to turn scattered requirements into system-level strategies, marketers rely on its AI-powered mood boards to craft standout campaign proposals, and teachers in Hong Kong prepare consistently formatted exam papers in just minutes. The company describes its mission as closing the loop from real human needs to the right ideas and to real outcomes, positioning AI not only as a tool but as a true collaborator. Its slogan, “Chaos in, genius out,” has quickly become shorthand for this approach.
In addition, Kuse is introducing a flexible payment model. Teams can either subscribe per seat or use a shared credit pool, which allows them to add members for free and pay only for the credits consumed, with full transparency.
Today, more than 400 teams and 200,000 professionals across over 60 countries are already building with Kuse. Led by founders with backgrounds at Meta, Nvidia, and Y Combinator, the company positions itself as a challenger to traditional office software. The ambition, as its founder Xiankun Wu puts it, is simple: “We want to create a product you’ll still love to use even if AI takes over all human work.”
