Day 5: Still at 2 signups. Posting anyway.

5 days in. 2 signups. Every piece of feedback circles back to the same thing: "Why would I pay for this when ChatGPT exists?"

I don't have a good answer. "It's faster" isn't compelling enough. "It's on LinkedIn" isn't either. Clay just integrated with ChatGPT. The timing is brutal.

Starting to think the cold email AI space is cooked. Everyone's building the same thing. The differentiation is marginal. Maybe the play is to find a wedge nobody's thought of yet, or accept this idea is dead and move on.

Anyone else killed an idea at the validation stage? How did you know it was time?
