Looking for feedback from fellow builders 👋

We’re working on GoStudioM, a simple tool to help Airbnb hosts:
• Stop manually managing cleaners
• Improve listing rankings
• Understand real revenue & taxes

Quick questions:

Does this solve a real problem in your opinion?

Which feature sounds most valuable?

What would stop you from using it?

Brutal honesty welcome — it helps more than praise.

    Happy to give feedback — I’ve found it’s most useful when it’s tied to a specific decision.

    What’s the one thing you’re currently unsure about or trying to decide so the feedback actually helps you move forward?

    Yes, the problem is very real. I'd argue the core pain is uncertainty and loss of control. Hosts are running fragile businesses and often don't know whether they're healthy, bleeding, or one bad week away from trouble.

    Of the features you list, financial diagnostics feel like the strongest wedge. If I don't understand my money - leakage, risk, runway - then cleaners and growth become secondary. Profitability and stability come first.

    The biggest thing that would stop me from using a product like this is if I can't clearly understand what it's telling me. If it becomes another dense dashboard, I'm not going to bother. The magic is surfacing what matters in plain language: "Cleaning reliability is degrading - this is now a revenue risk."

    Forewarned is forearmed. :D

  3. 1

    I am an extensive user of Airbnb, though not a host, and I don't think it solves a real problem. Airbnb actually has IRL advisors that go around trying to help hosts improve - we met one in Brazil once.

    However there are plenty of websites renting outside of Airbnb. Like we just booked a skiing trip and each resort has a home made page where you can find listings not on Airbnb. IMHO its these hosts trying to go it alone and bypass Airbnb and VRBO that need help.

    If this response was helpful do me a favor and check out my landing page and answer your same questions above and anything else that comes to mind. I'm going to start an email campaign soon to get early users but want to make sure the website is decent first.

    Thank you,
    David
