A real, free essay, read by Claude through Trove. The wording of the answer is illustrative.
We launched last week and have 12 users. How do I get to the first 100?
Reading Do Things That Don't Scale by Paul Graham
Paul Graham's advice is to recruit your first users by hand, one at a time, instead of waiting for them to find you. Early on, that manual work is the growth engine, not a distraction from it.
- This week: write to 20 people who have the problem, one by one.
- Onboard each new user yourself, and watch where they get stuck.
- Fix what they trip on before you try to scale anything.

Your concerns, answered
The questions experts asked us, with straight answers.
Can someone copy my content?
Copying is possible with or without Trove. What beats piracy is convenience: on Trove, the easiest way to use your work is the one that credits you.
Am I in control?
Yes. You choose what goes in, nothing goes live until you approve it, your name stays on everything, and you see how your work is used.
Will this replace my paid newsletter or course?
We think it does the opposite. When your newest material is what people use at work, they have more reason to keep paying you, not less. Streaming grew artists' audiences in the same way.
How do I make money?
You earn when your knowledge is used. Our first experts help set the terms, so the model works for experts, not just for us.
Where do I start?
With a conversation. We look at what you've made and what you want to achieve, and tailor a plan for you. Then we build your library, and you approve it before it goes live.
How much of my time does it take?
Very little. One conversation to plan it, then we build it. You review and approve.
Some of my old content is outdated.
That's fine. Your newest advice comes first, and you can mark anything as outdated so it never speaks for you.
Do my readers need an account?
Yes, a free Trove account. It takes a minute, and it's what lets us show you how your work is used.
Will AI models train on my work?
Very unlikely. AI companies train on the open web, and Trove never publishes your work there. Work and company AI accounts generally don't allow training on their data. On personal accounts, a few of your passages would be mixed into a huge amount of other activity, which makes it very unlikely to reach a model in a usable form.
Is this really a win-win?
It has to be, or it won't work. You get credit, reach, insight and income. We get great knowledge for the people who need it.
Many authors? Start with a few titles.
Leave your email and we'll reach out about a pilot on a few titles you pick.
The world needs your knowledge. Now it can find it.
