From an account with 19K followers, this reached 5.3 times the account's own following. The median for 5K to 25K followers is 50.8 times, so this one stayed closer to home than most.

A bookmark is a plan to come back, and it tracks signups and demo requests more closely than a like does. The rest: 33 replies, 18 quotes, 107 reposts.
The first line is “MAI‑Transcribe‑1 makes speech‑to‑text clearer, faster, and more reliable even in noisy audio”. It carries a 37-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 603K views in the directory.
The copy runs 30 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41. There is a link in the body, which costs a post some reach and buys it a place to send people.
It went out on a Thursday. Launches posted on a Thursday have a median of 724K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
Attributing signups to a launch covers this: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product. For the next one, read what viral AI launches share: model launches are the largest category in the directory and travel on the demo.
X analytics explained is the guide for it: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size. Every launch we track in Frontier Lab is on that vertical's directory page.
