I’m a full-time software engineer and solo founder. I built an AI-powered fitness app in one month. I have 0 users so far and I’m looking for actionable advice on how to get the first ones.

if I were you, I’d: - build a strong social presence, especially on Facebook and Instagram. That’s where fitness audiences hang out. organic reach is slow, so you might explore AI-assisted ads targeting fitness interests to control costs. - show what the app can do. as a fitness app user, I’d want to see: - how easy it is to track workouts - whether you give personalized advice for food/calorie tracking
in short: how does your app make my life easier?
also, get your first users offline. if you go to the gym, start there—demo it to people, watch how they use it, listen to complaints, and note what they like. you’ll get valuable feedback faster than from online strangers.
