GrowthX AI

What GrowthX AI does

GrowthX AI is a San Francisco-based, fully-remote B2B software company founded in January 2025 by Marcel Santilli (CEO; ex-CMO at Deepgram, Scale AI, HashiCorp, ServiceTitan) and Daniel Lopes (CTO; ex-Canopy from 37signals spin-off). The company sells an agentic AI platform called GrowthOS that unifies website content management, search engine optimization, and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) into a single closed-loop system, with companion products CheckThat.ai (AI visibility measurement) and Output.ai (content output). Pricing begins at $6,000 per month and bundles a human strategist, full platform access, up to 50 pages created monthly, and 5,000 prompts tracked, alongside separately-sold professional services delivered via Services Order Forms.

The platform's core technical architecture is a five-stage closed loop (Context, Record, Intelligence, Action, Learning) where AI agents autonomously produce, recommend, retrieve, and optimize content while a human strategist calibrates direction. GrowthOS crawls, scores, and tracks every customer page daily and optimizes for both traditional search engines and AI answer engines (Google, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity), integrating OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and Perplexity as core LLM subprocessors and LangFuse for AI observability. A proprietary "Context Core" built in the first week of engagement serves as a truth layer over each customer's company, competitors, taxonomy, and voice, compounding value across cycles.

GrowthX goes to market through a sales-led enterprise motion with 45-minute demo calls, a Learn platform and blog functioning as content marketing, joint webinars with partners such as AirOps and Strapi, and an external community at ailedgrowth.com. The customer base is heavily skewed to enterprise and mid-market B2B companies — including Vercel, Stripe, Ramp, Brex, Webflow, Abnormal AI, SentinelOne, Lovable, Deepgram, Together AI, Navan, Superhuman, Udemy, Outreach, and Metronome — with documented outcomes ranging from 3x to 46x improvements in organic traffic, LLM referral traffic, and demo requests. The company raised a $12 million Series A round in January 2025 (Madrona-led per later disclosure) and currently operates with 11–50 employees distributed across North America, EMEA, and South America.
