Yoav Hornung spent eight years at Fiverr before teaming with two friends to explore side projects rooted in gifting and physical products. Their first attempt with outside developers took months and slow progress. With Gift My Book, they switched to Base44 and built the end-to-end product -- an AI book generator that turns names, photos and inside jokes into custom 240-page personalized comedy books -- in about a week. They generated an ad on ChatGPT, put $100 of spend on Meta, and woke up to a purchase. The product hit 6-8% visitor-to-purchase conversion, reached annualized revenue close to $1M within about three months, and turned profitable in December. Live at giftmybook.com, built and hosted on Base44.

Public sources that passed the listing's publication boundary for financial, team, or AI-native claims. Sources still awaiting review or rejected during research are not surfaced here.
Evidence status applies to each supported claim, not the source as a whole, and does not imply an audit. A topic is shown as verified when at least one qualified source supports that topic at the verified level; founder/company-reported claims remain labeled separately. Observation dates show when AgenticArtists checked a source, not when the underlying claim necessarily became true.
