Why 25,000 people signed up for this UK AI app in three days

Key Points

  • Potentially AI's early access waitlist reached 25,000 registrations, with more than two-thirds arriving in 72 hours.
  • The draw is twelve months free on the Protect plan, worth around £100, from the date each account is activated.
  • The company raised its free licence allocation from 10,000 to cover everyone who had signed up.
  • Paid tiers run from £7.99 to £59.99 per month once the free year ends.
  • The London-listed company returned to AIM in July 2026 after a reverse takeover and a £4.9 million raise.

London-listed Potentially AI has filled its 25,000-place early access waitlist after offering registrants twelve months’ free use of its consumer AI app.

The company opened the waitlist on 5 August 2026 with 10,000 free licences on its entry-level Protect plan, worth around £100 each.

Registrations reached 25,000 on Friday (7 August), with more than two-thirds of those arriving in the previous 72 hours. Potentially raised the allocation to 25,000 so that everyone who had signed up by that point receives the full free year, running from the date their account is activated.

“The response to our free AI initiative, to support the launch of our platform, has been phenomenal and we believe is a clear signal that having all your favourite AI in one app is a value proposition that people want,” said Oliver Yonchev, co-founder and chief operating officer at Potentially AI.

What registrants get

The free tier is Protect, which covers text models plus features the company says are designed to protect users’ work and intellectual property.

Registrants also receive an early access code ahead of the platform’s wider launch. Potentially will onboard users over the coming weeks, issue access codes in phases and contact each registrant directly when their access opens.

The waitlist remains open at potentially.com, though the company has confirmed the free year only for the 25,000 registrants to date.

Potentially plans three membership levels:

  • Protect – £7.99 per month, covering text models and IP protection features
  • Create – £19.99 per month, adding image, video and audio models
  • World – £59.99 per month, a collaborative workspace built for teams and larger projects

The company behind the app

Potentially AI sells access to more than 1,000 AI models – both open-source models and those from the larger commercial labs – through a single subscription, rather than users paying for several separate services.

The London-headquartered company completed a reverse takeover and returned to AIM in July 2026, raising approximately £4.9 million to fund product and technology development, commercial growth and working capital.

It trades under the ticker AGI, having previously been listed as Tiger Royalties and Investments.

Alongside the consumer app, it plans to launch a professional workspace and a marketplace in the second half of 2026.
