I'll just be honest. Every time I see a ChatGPT wrapper, I feel i could have built that. Last November, I said good bye to my super rich freelancing client and started building what everyone is building. A ChatGPT Wrapper
I know I know, but hear me out first.
I have been building an AI-powered blogging assistant.
The goal is not to add into the AI-generated junk out there, but to help busy startups with business blogging. I genuinely believe the tool has some unique angles that could make it valuable for businesses who have a blog.
But is it too late? Am I wasting my time trying to break into this space?
Here's what I'd love some honest feedback on:
Oversaturation: Are you guys already drowning in AI writing tools, or is there still a room for highly targeted tool for business blogging?
Differentiation: What would make you even consider a NEW AI blogging assistant at this stage? What features are a must-have?
The Pain Points: Where are the current AI tools falling short for you as a blogger or content writer?
I'm not just looking for encouragement here (although that's always nice). If this is a truly a dead-end, I'd rather know now and pivot my focus.
Thanks for reading, and let's have a real discussion about this!
Hi there,
From a PM’s perspective:
Would you not want to address your last Q first?
As you’re investing your time into building a tool, would it not make sense for you to - first - dive really deep into all the tools out there and figure out what can be done better?
As for oversaturation, yes the AI hype is real. But there are lots of examples of tools not being ‘first to the market’ and winning, some even winning big (eg Google search).
Builders love to build and if building is what you want to do - great. But if you want to make your product a success, no matter how modest, the starting point ought to be understanding deeply the problem space.
You are not the only one with these thoughts, Thankfully you're voicing our concerns too. Thank you. however, I feel the industry is generous enough to accommodate us all
