I recently launched Conntent (https://conntent.xyz) on Product Hunt. It's a simple tool that lets you generate content for various social media platforms from any online article using just its link.
Over 150 users signed up, but nobody ended up paying. I got some good feedback though. Now, I am in this dilemma whether I should iterate upon the feedback and improve the product or move on to the next one.
Let me know your thoughts, please!
What's the pitch for this service? Why would I use it?
Honest feedback: that url (not the website content, the domain name) looks like a scam and not something I’d trust with my payment data. Buy a real domain.
As for AI startups generally: please get rid of Google/Facebook/etc. login mandates, and, preferably, get rid of mandatory registrations altogether for demo purposes. I don't know whether there are any reliable statistics on this matter, but I'd argue that the presumed retention due to mandating registrations may prevent a larger user base from emerging.

Is it businesses? Is it individuals posting for their friends?

Yea, but why. Who is your user, and why is that something they want? Is it businesses? Is it individuals posting for their friends?
So I made a tool to make this task a bit simpler. I used conntent to generate my weekly newsletter yesterday. You can read it here: https://stemble.substack.com/p/indian-astronauts-embark-on-a...
To answer your question, people like me are the users.

I run a STEM page on LinkedIn & X. I have to post something STEM-related daily on them for which I search Google News for an article, open it, copy its content, and then ask ChatGPT to write an engaging LinkedIn post or Tweet for me out of it.

But going back to the question in your post, I suspect the reason you aren't getting paying customers is that people/companies who are reposting content across social media already have established patterns to do it and there's not a value add of switching that to your service.
What's the demand and the competition? I'd reckon that people can generate garbage ("content") easily enough on their own with LLMs. As for AI startups generally: please get rid of Google/Facebook/etc. login mandates, and, preferably, get rid of mandatory registrations altogether for demo purposes. I don't know whether there are any reliable statistics on this matter, but I'd argue that the presumed retention due to…
