One-Liner feedback: "Habiter: We match users for accountability as a service"

I'm submitting my application for YC in the following days and was wondering if anyone here could review our one-liner.

We're Habiter. We match users for accountability as a service

Context:

Habiter is an app to help people that study online talk to each other in real-time. While studying, users can enter small group-chats where they keep each other accountable and share their progress.

Currently, people study by themselves cause there is no viable way to do it with others: Habiter makes it easy to find study groups online, for any online learning app you are coming from.

Users come back to Habiter because they find motivation and support in their study group. Online Learning platforms see Habiter as a high engagement channel to distribute their content, to eventually prevent their users from churning away.

Thank you and I apologies if the question does not follow all guidelines

    Hello

    A nice idea however few things to think about.
    1)How much of an interaction people prefer while studying. Is chatting too often a distraction for serious readers?
    2)A similar chat in fitness space failed due to the human psyche. When people couldn't follow a milestone, they starting avoided group discussions and the app saw low user engagement.

    Cheers

    Interesting @www_lessand_ro

    It's hard to tell from your blurb:

    1. Whether the problem is pain enough
    2. How big the market - well, if you use online learning as a sample size, it's big for sure. But you need to divide by the subset of people who is willing to jump on a virtual study group
    3. Financial potential - what would be the secret weapon to bring you sustainable revenue

    All the best :)
