What this launch shows

It starts “Introducing Autopilot: an always-on agent for your docs”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 26-second video against a directory median of 66 seconds. Videos under 30 seconds have a median of 783K views in the directory.
The copy runs 40 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 Tuesday. Launches posted on a Tuesday have a median of 595K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 647K.
The waitlist launch guide covers this: the call to action was a queue, and the four days after decide what the queue is worth. For the next one, read giving people something to reply to: the conversation is what carried this one.
Developer marketing strategy is the guide for it: developers try before they read, so the post has to let them. Every launch we track in Developer Tool is on that vertical's directory page.
