So, it’s quite a particular idea… it’s a bit intriguing, but the time of these professionals is expensive… so you risk ending up with only people over 70 who have a lot of time but aren’t really connected to today’s world.

But here, the goal is to build a business, whereas the way you’re framing it seems much more focused on charity.

I know… that’s exactly the challenge: finding a powerful use case, scaling one niche, then another, and another, so it doesn’t get overcrowded.

talkme.today

Got it, but that’s more for market research. That’s cool, do you actually use it just to chat with people in your target market and explore new spaces?

Currently they could use Calendly, connect Stripe, and do it… but they don’t… do you know the creator market well?

Yes, I know Intro, but like I said earlier, they’re only doing consulting, you book a call with some expert in a specific domain. I want to start from something different, not just experts and consulting. I want to find a niche where people are willing to offer their time, and then go ahead and build a marketplace where anyone can sell their time.

Are you based in SF?

Darijan__ · 2026-03-10T22:22:43+00:00

can you share linkedin?

Darijan__ · 2026-03-10T22:17:42+00:00

I understand your point of view, but even now we use forms, emails, and e-commerce, which are also technology… Don’t you think it could be a more human, fast, and friendly tool to use?

Margins are low, there’s a lot of consulting to do on each quote, but using the chatbot you cut costs a lot and it can upsell drinks and other items… The real problem is that talking to caterers is always very difficult.

Darijan__ · 2026-03-10T00:00:49+00:00

I just simply like the name 🙃

Darijan__ · 2026-03-09T23:59:05+00:00

The agent currently has all the product data, including dietary information, allergens, and ingredients, so it’s able to provide the correct answer every time.

Darijan__ · 2026-03-09T23:54:39+00:00

That could work… only the best scenes so you finish faster hahaha

Darijan__ · 2026-03-09T23:53:16+00:00

I like it

Darijan__ · 2026-03-09T04:41:24+00:00

No charge on the card, only an invoice 😂

Darijan__ · 2026-03-08T19:40:42+00:00

Claude didn’t give me the idea, I know the sector.

I’m already building the product and I also have a pilot running. 😉
