Summary

Steve Moraco, a professional photographer, built an app using an iOS shortcut on his phone and turned it into a successful startup business called DATA, which is a digital assistant that uses AI to delegate tasks. He used Replit's online IDE, package manager, and AI generative coding tools to build and deploy the app quickly, receiving real-world feedback from users. With Replit's Autoscale Deployments feature, he scaled his customer base and grew the business rapidly, achieving $22k in monthly recurring revenue, 50+ features built by DATA Creators, and a 30,000-person waitlist for the cross-platform website version of DATA.
