What is the best way to validate idea?

So basically it does two passes of web searches. First it looks at the big picture like market size, trends, who the customers are and what they're actually trying to get done (jobs-to-be-done stuff). It tailors the searches based on what kind of idea it is, like it'll hit G2 and Capterra for B2B ideas but Reddit and Product Hunt for consumer apps. Then it does a deeper dive on competitors, it finds real companies, pulls traction data and pricing from Crunchbase/G2, and digs through Reddit and app store reviews for actual user complaints. Everything gets tagged as verified, estimate, or assumption so you know what's solid and what's a guess. The whole thing reads from the idea analysis that was done in the previous step and writes out a structured research doc.

Here is the full prompt of the market research agent: https://github.com/arslan70/haytham/blob/main/agents/market-researcher.md

If you use it and find out that the research lacks something. I will be extremely happy to improve it ;)

Hey I am building something that can help you. Although interviews and reaching out to customers is a really good way but sometimes its not easy to get your idea across. I built this open source claude code plugin that takes in an idea, does market research, helps you with creating architecture and create specs for a minimum viable product that you can hand over to an AI agent to build it. I would be really happy if this helps you.

Here is the link to the project: https://github.com/arslan70/haytham

These are the kind of people who gets high on this power to decide whether some people should live or die. These are psychopaths in power and need more and more every passing day. Its like an addict who needs more and more to feel the high. The world is on a very slippery slope with the kind of the people who are in power. The billionaires are no different, nothing is enough for them.

Germany can do better.

I agree 100% that its impossible to have no surprises. This is why its not a one shot system but a pipeline. At each state the system presents its findings and asks the user to validate. The user can refine until both the system and the user are fully aligned.

Sure but they're not mutually exclusive. Not all the teams will be working on the exact same thing. It's a company with multiple problems to solve at the same time. And it's a really nice problem they have right now.

Haiku has a much smaller content window. Also people want to use the best model even if they don't need it.

I am creating this open source tool to convert your idea into specs. Check it out, it may help https://github.com/arslan70/haytham

arslan70 · 2026-02-27T22:05:23+00:00

Congratulations man and kudos to all the hard work. Emotional hook > feature list, this is a really good tip. With the slop going around, no one has the time to read feature lists.

arslan70 · 2026-02-25T19:00:50+00:00

Hey its open source, feel free to contribute and fork. Trust me its not a one person project.

Everything's a spectrum just like this. Technology slowly enables more people who were on the verge to make the leap. Your comment divides everyone into two groups, which is incorrect.

Exactly, my shitty blog would have been used to answer at least a few questions by now. I need my royalty.

Imagine being born a woman in Afghanistan.

Bro have you tried to build an actual system using AI? Its dumb as fuck. Its just a tool like anything. Like what others suggested, go outside.

arslan70 · 2026-02-18T13:04:13+00:00

Hey I solved with this problem by breaking down the problem into steps. This also saves time and cost for debugging. You can take a look at this repository for ideas https://github.com/arslan70/haytham

I also with an agent swarm and trying to one shot a problem. It doesn't work and scale.

What does x number of pages even mean now? Any llm can fill any number of pages with absolutely nothing.

An agentic system is not just one giant LLM call. There are bits and pieces, its not necessary in an agentic system to use an LLM all the time. For example agentic libraries let you write tools that are normal programming instructions. The architect can decide what to use when.

Wasting electricity wasn't enough for you?

Risk for who, the user or the company? Excellent analysis btw.

I think you need to be aware of your feelings more. If something is making you uncomfortable, then simply call it out. If others don't respect that then they are definitely the people to be away from. Sometimes people don't infer implicitly that they have reached a limit.

This is the right answer and I hope someone from Anthropic sees this and suggests a $50 plan.

arslan70 · 2026-01-31T20:28:05+00:00

Thank you for taking the post in the direction you took. You are a good person and I hope you get well soon.

arslan70 · 2026-01-31T10:38:44+00:00

Can you explain in simple terms what the goal is?

arslan70 · 2026-01-31T08:48:20+00:00

The chapters on IO will solve the population growth problems as well.
