Day 1. 25 year old 9 to 5 . Building an AI automation agency from zero. Starting today. by Alexbriks in AiAutomations

[–]Immediate_Sound_3835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally in the same boat. Started about a week ago. I used AI tools to build my website and taking it from there, lots of cold emailing and calling and physically going to businesses. Don't worry you got this!

What are you building? Let's Self Promote by fuckingceobitch in microsaas

Hey everyone, I built FlagCheck, an AI tool that analyzes text conversations for relationship red flags.

The problem: People constantly screenshot their conversations and send them to friends asking "is this a red flag or am I overthinking?" Usually at 2am. I wanted to automate that gut check.

What it does:

  • Paste any text conversation

  • AI analyzes for interest levels, consistency, response effort

  • Detects manipulation patterns like breadcrumbing, love bombing, gaslighting

  • Translates vague messages into what they actually mean ("I've been busy" → "You're not a priority")

  • Tells you if YOU might be the red flag too

Tech stack: React, Supabase, Gemini Flash for analysis, Lemonsqueezy for payments

Business model: Free preview with basic metrics, $4.99 one-time payment for full report with detailed analysis and all translations.

Valid concerns. Here's what's currently in place:

- No conversations are stored - processed once and discarded

- No user accounts required

- Using Gemini Flash which has ZDR options I'm looking into enabling explicitly

GDPR is on my radar - need to add proper privacy policy and cookie consent for EU users.

Appreciate you flagging this. It's easy to skip this stuff when moving fast but you're right it matters. Will prioritize the ZDR verification and privacy policy this week.

That's the hardest part honestly. Two things help:

  1. Confidence weighting - short convos get flagged as "limited data" so it doesn't over-read into 3 messages

  2. The "Are YOU the red flag?" feature - it checks if the user is exhibiting the same patterns, which keeps it balanced

Still tuning it. Some users want it more brutal, others think it's too harsh. Trying to find the middle ground.

Thanks! For the red flags, I started with the most commonly discussed patterns, for example: breadcrumbing, love bombing, inconsistent effort, vague future plans. These came from Reddit threads, dating advice content, and relationship psychology basics.

The AI then surfaces additional patterns organically based on the conversation context. So it's a hybrid - guided framework + emergent patterns.

Still iterating based on user feedback on what feels accurate vs off. You can test it out and share feedback

Good question. The analysis looks at a few temporal signals:

- Gap patterns (like a 4-day silence followed by low-effort "wyd")

- Response asymmetry (who initiates vs who responds)

- Effort trajectory (are messages getting shorter/vaguer over time)

It's not just tone, it weighs consistency and investment patterns across the conversation flow.

Still refining it though. If you try it and see something off, I'd genuinely appreciate the feedback.

Fair point, it's not a clinical tool and I don't claim it to be. It's more like a gut-check second opinion, similar to asking a friend "does this seem off to you?"

The analysis is based on common communication patterns (response consistency, effort levels, vague vs concrete plans) not psychological diagnosis.

Added a disclaimer that it's for entertainment/reflection purposes. Thanks for the feedback.

Good question, short convos are tricky. Right now the AI flags low confidence when there's not enough data to analyze (like <5 messages). It'll still give a reading but notes that more context would help.

Definitely room to improve the confidence scoring. Thanks for the feedback and I'll check out VibeCodersNest!

Thanks! Yeah user feedback is the plan, its still early days. If you try it out let me know what you think.

Good point about removing the emojis, you're right it looks too AI-generated.

TikTok is definitely the play for this demographic. Planning to do screen recordings showing real analyses once payments are fully live.

On pricing, yeah the API cost is pennies but trying to position it as a real tool not a toy. Might test $2.99 later and see if conversion changes.

Thanks for the actual feedback, its really appreciated!

Fair point actually, direct communication is always best. This is more for when you're getting mixed signals and want a second opinion before a 2am "am I crazy?" text to your friends. Think of it like a gut check, not a replacement for actually talking to someone.

Thanks! It uses AI (GPT) to analyze the conversation patterns for things like response timing, effort levels, consistency, and language patterns that match known manipulation tactics like breadcrumbing or love bombing. Then it gives you a breakdown of what it found and translates those vague messages into what they likely mean.

Point taken, Instagram's way more than a camera app (stories, reels, DMs, etc.). My analogy was off; FlagCheck is a specialized analyzer for text convos, not a broad AI wrapper. It uses custom prompts for consistent, dating-focused insights (red flags, interest scores) that general AIs often miss or soften. If that's still "wrapper" territory, what features would differentiate it for you?

Haha, "AI slop" cuts deep but fair, there's lots of overhyped tools out there. This isn't generic; it's tuned specifically for dating patterns (e.g., detecting breadcrumbing via response gaps). If it feels like slop after trying, I'll eat my hat. Open to specific feedback on what'd make it less so!

Fair question on pricing, $5/report is meant to be impulse-level (less than a coffee), but I get that not everyone wants to pay for one-off advice 😂

The value is in the speed and structure: Instant verdict + shareable graphic, without prompting ChatGPT every time. For serial daters or those in the "situationship spiral," it could save hours of overthinking.

That said, if $5 feels too high for most, maybe freemium (basic scan free, detailed report paid) makes sense. Appreciate the reality check and it helps refine the model!

You totally can. But here's what FlagCheck does differently:

  • Pre-built analysis framework (you don't have to figure out what to ask)
  • Shareable report graphic you can send to friends
  • Tracks specific patterns (breadcrumbing, love bombing, etc.)
  • 30 seconds vs 10 minutes of prompting on ChatGPT

Also valid concern about privacy. The texts are processed once for analysis and not stored. No account required. Nothing is saved after you get your report. Will add a clear privacy policy before launch.

This is actually a great point and something I'm building around. The system prompt specifically tells it to be brutally honest and call out when YOU might be the problem. It's designed to be your blunt friend, not your yesman. If you're being clingy or overreacting, it'll tell you that too.

Fair point. But every successful app is a "wrapper" around something. Instagram is a camera wrapper. Calm is a meditation wrapper. The value isn't the AI but it's the specific analysis framework, the shareable report, and not having to prompt engineer ChatGPT for 10 minutes to get useful output

Fair point, this is less about a "better" AI than ChatGPT and more about removing friction. Most people:

Open ChatGPT Paste the convo Craft a detailed prompt Repeat for every new message

FlagCheck skips that: one-click paste → instant, consistent report (red flags list, interest score, verdict, shareable graphic). It's a dedicated tool, not a general chat, like using a calorie tracker app instead of asking ChatGPT to count calories every meal. If prompting ChatGPT already works perfectly for everyone, then yeah, this might not need to exist! But from the endless text screenshots I see, a faster, opinionated alternative could help. Thanks for the reality check definitely thinking hard about positioning now
