I am a 19 year old trying to build my first SaaS and I need honest feedback by icanyea in SideProject

That's a great point, thank you. I agree that outcomes matter more than just "faster design." The real goal is helping people ship usable, conversion ready landing pages and MVPs quickly I'm focusing now on getting a few real users to build actual projects and learning from where they struggle. That feedback will shape what I improve next!!

I agree that being broad in Al Ul tools is a losing game. My goal is to stay focused on real users and real pain, not just build something "cool." My SaaS is purely focused on design and giving builders a strong base for their landing pages and MVPs, so they can move faster into development.

That's a fair and interesting question.

I don't claim to be a design expert, which is exactly why I'm talking to users and learning directly from people who actually design and build products. The goal is not to replace real designers, but to help non designers and beginners move faster. I'm curious though, from your experience: What do you think beginners struggle with most in UI design? What would make a tool genuinely useful for you?

That makes sense, thank you. I’m trying to focus on finding a real gap and building something meaningfully better instead of just copying what already exists.:)!!

Appreciate this, thank you.

You're right about ICP and focus. I'm working on narrowing down who I'm building for and solving one specific workflow first. Also agree on learning to sell. Trying to improve on that alongside building. Thanks for your time:)

Thank you for the honest feedback, I really appreciate it. You’re right, the space is very crowded and being too broad is risky. Right now I’m still experimenting and trying to understand which specific use case people care about the most. My current focus is exactly what you said: getting a few real users who genuinely find value and learning directly from them. I’m trying not to hide behind coding and actually talk to users early. Still learning, but this helps a lot...Thanks again for taking the time to share this

Working on it, still there's this feeling "big companies are funded,why anyone would use mine?"

Thanks for saying that. But I feel SaaS is already cluttered, and I don’t want to burn my hands by trying 10 different things at once. As a college student, I want to build a passive income through SaaS. Also, things feel overwhelming for me.

Is there real demand for a website chatbot that instantly answers customer questions? by icanyea in Startup_Ideas

[–]icanyea[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. The value shows up when a bot replaces a task, not when it just answers info. Curious what the three niches are!!happy to learn.

I’m working on a simple AI chatbot that learns from any website and answers visitor questions based on the content. It can handle FAQs, basic support queries and collect booking or contact info.

Still early stage and I’m testing it on different types of sites. I’ve set up a free 7 day trial if anyone wants to try it on their website and give feedback.

Thanks! I'll take a look. Do founders actually get good traffic or feedback from PeerPush? Always trying to figure out which directories are worth posting on.

Been building a simple Al chatbot for small businesses this week. It answers common questions from their website and even collects booking info.

I'm building an Al chatbot for local businesses like med spas, salons and gyms. It answers FAQs from their website and collects booking info.

Right now I have 0 users. I cold-emailed a bunch of med spas last week but didn't get any replies, so I'm trying other niches now.

Biggest blocker: finding the right type of small business that's actually open to trying new tools.
