Farhorn Deutschfree until 2027

You shipped it. Nobody came.

Farhorn is an AI marketing co-founder for solo builders. It works out your positioning, hands you a file your AI can read, and writes a week of drafts you approve. Then it builds the next week from what you tell it actually happened.

Diagnose my product Free, no account. About five minutes, and you leave with a document you can share and a file for your codebase.

Not for funded teams with a marketer, for agencies, or for anyone without a shipped product URL: Farhorn starts by reading a live page.

A real run from 19 Aug 2026: Farhorn reads this page, finds six things it gets wrong and writes the first week. Three of the findings were fixed the same evening.

Building is cheap now. Attention isn't.

Most indie products die from distribution, not code. Marketing is a different craft, it needs months of consistency you don't have, and when nothing happens you can't tell if the product, the positioning, or the reach is broken. Farhorn attacks all three.

How it works

01Diagnose Point it at your product. It analyzes your landing page, interviews you, and produces a real positioning doc: who it's for, why they should care, how to say it. This part is live today.
02Execute Every week: a plan plus finished drafts for X, each with the reason it exists. You approve and post them yourself, nothing auto-posts. This part is live today. Reddit drafts exist too, but nobody has posted one yet, so this page does not sell them.
03Learn Tick off what you posted and write down what it brought in. The next plan is built from that. Tell it nothing and the plan says so, instead of inventing a reason. This part is live today.

It lands in your codebase

Most people building this way write code by prompting. So the document exports two ways. A task prompt carries only the work an AI can finish, with what needs you marked as off limits, so no agent reports your customer interviews as done. And a positioning file goes into your repo, where every future session reads who the product is for instead of inventing an audience and sanding the copy down to average.

What Farhorn found when it read this page

real run · 19 aug 2026, 21:51

We pointed Farhorn at farhorn.com. It found six things, each tied to a line on the page. Three were fixed the same evening, a fourth on 9 October. Open one to see the line it comes from and what happened to it.

01 There is no proof that anything works, and the page says so itself. open

on the page

"An example, not a log. Both stages run today, but nothing has been posted to a channel yet and there are no numbers worth showing here." The example document (Ledgerly) and the example week are both invented.

what it cost

You are asking for five minutes and a product URL from a stranger with zero evidence. The honesty is a real asset, but right now the only proof you could offer is your own account: what your positioning doc said about Farhorn and what happened when you posted from it. That costs you the sceptical visitor who is exactly your buyer.

02 Stage three, the learning loop, is described but never marked as live, unlike stages one and two. fixed · 9 oct 2026

on the page

Stage 01 and 02 each end with "This part is live today." Stage 03 ("Learn") has no such line, only "Tell it nothing and the plan says so."

what it cost

The loop is your strongest claim over a scheduler or a chat prompt. Leaving its status ambiguous means the reader files the whole thing as roadmap and discounts stages one and two too.

what changed

Step 03 now says that it is live today, like steps 01 and 02.

03 The price is a temporary state with no successor: "free while it is new" tells me nothing about what happens after. fixed · 19 aug, 22:20

on the page

Header badge "free while it is new" and "The positioning document and the weekly drafts are free while this is new. No account, no card."

what it cost

A solo builder deciding whether to put a positioning file in their repo wants to know if the thing will still exist and what it will cost. Unnamed future pricing reads as "they have not decided", which is exactly the signal that keeps someone from building a weekly habit on your tool.

what changed

The badge now reads “free until 2027”, and the page names the price after that: 29 $ a month.

04 The "not for" line, which your own example document treats as essential, is missing from your own page. fixed · 19 aug, 22:20

on the page

The example document contains "Not for: agencies with a bookkeeper. They already know." The Farhorn page names only who it is for ("solo builders") and never who should leave.

what it cost

You sell exclusion as the mark of real positioning, then do not practice it. It also lets funded teams and agency marketers run diagnoses that produce documents that do not fit, which pollutes your only feedback source.

what changed

A “not for” line now sits under the button. It names funded teams with a marketer, agencies, and anyone without a shipped product URL.

05 The X and Reddit choice is asserted without a reason, and Reddit is the riskier half. fixed · 19 aug, 22:20

on the page

"a plan plus finished drafts for X and Reddit"; the example week contains one Reddit draft ("I shipped four products and marketed none of them").

what it cost

Reddit punishes generic promo posts and rules differ per subreddit. Without a sentence about how the draft handles subreddit rules, an experienced reader assumes it does not, and that is the objection that stops the sign-up.

what changed

Reddit came off the page. Step 02 now says that Reddit drafts exist and why this page does not sell them.

06 The German version is one click away, but the page does not say who the German market is or why it exists. kept on purpose

on the page

Language switcher "Deutsch" and the internal link https://farhorn.com/de/, while the entire English page addresses "solo builders" with no geography.

what it cost

Two languages double your writing work per change. If German visitors are not converting, it is drag you can drop; if they are, that is a positioning fact missing from your page.

what changed

Two languages are a standing decision the model could not see. The German page stays.

Farhorn's own first week

written 19 aug 2026 · real workspace

The week Farhorn wrote for itself right after that run. Pick a draft to read it with the reason it exists.

draft 01 · x/thread · mo 09:00 · 1213 chars

I built a tool that writes your weekly marketing posts. I have never posted anything myself. Two diagnoses have run through it. Both were mine. This week I am running it on itself and posting whatever it hands me, starting with this thread.

The problem it was built for is mine. You ship, you deploy, traffic stays at zero. There is no next step in the workflow after deploy, so the product just sits there and you go build the next one.

The usual fix is pasting your landing page into ChatGPT. You get posts. You post none. Next week the session is empty again. Nothing accumulates, so nothing compounds.

So this writes a file instead: docs/positioning.md, in your repo. Who it is for, who it is not for, what you do not know yet. Every future coding session reads it before it writes a line.

Then it drafts the week for X, and every draft carries the reason it exists. Nothing auto-posts. You paste it yourself or you delete it. I am the one hitting post on this thread, which is the point.

Does it work? Unknown. No user has posted a draft anywhere, me included until today. Four weeks of my own posts is the test. I will publish the numbers every week, including the weeks the number is zero. farhorn.com

why this

Your own document says posting your weekly plan is the only proof you can generate without users, and the honest version of "nobody yet" is the only answer to the first objection you listed.

draft 02 · x/post · we 09:00 · 239 chars

My landing page names nobody who should leave. That is a bug. Farhorn is not for funded teams with a marketer, not for agencies, and not for anyone without a shipped URL: the flow starts by reading a live page. I am fixing that line today.

why this

Your example document sells the "not for" line as the mark of real positioning while your own page has none, and wrong-fit runs pollute the only feedback you have.

draft 04 · x/post · fr 09:00 · 259 chars

Question for anyone who ships alone: what did you do the day after you deployed your last product? Not what you planned to do. What you did. I am collecting answers word for word, because my product's problem statement came out of a tool, not out of a person.

why this

Your three failure modes and your target customer description all came from your own diagnosis output, and this is the cheapest way to start collecting real wording.

A real week. Nothing from it has been posted yet, so there are no results to show. When there are, they go here. Draft 03 was written for Reddit. Nobody has posted one yet, so this page does not show it.

Both stages run today

The positioning document and the weekly drafts are free until 2027, then 29 $ a month. No account, no card, and nothing is published unless you say so.

Diagnose my product

About five minutes. You get a document you can share, a file for your codebase, and a workspace that keeps your product in mind from week to week.
