Validating an AI compliance tool for SMBs — thoughts?

Hey IH 👋

I’m validating an idea called CompliAssistant — an AI-powered HIPAA compliance assistant for small businesses that don’t have legal teams or time to deal with endless policies, audits, and documentation.

The big question I’m testing:
➡️ Will busy teams actually trust AI to handle sensitive compliance workflows like HIPAA?

So far I’ve built a waitlist, had early convos with healthcare founders, and built a lightweight landing page here:
🌐 compliassistant.com

Would love your thoughts on:

How would you validate something in a niche, high-trust market like healthcare?

What kind of early proof would you want before investing more time or $$?

Does the positioning make sense, or need work?

Appreciate any feedback — and happy to return the favor 🙌

    Trust is the biggest hurdle in compliance curious to see how founders respond. The positioning is strong, and the pain point is real.

      Thanks so much — I completely agree. Trust is everything in compliance, especially when AI is involved.

      One thing we’re exploring is making the AI more “assistive” than autonomous early on — like helping draft policies or prepping audit docs, but keeping a human in the loop. We’re also thinking about layering in expert-reviewed templates and transparency logs to boost confidence.

      Curious: what would make you trust an AI tool in a regulated space like this? Would love your take — especially if you’ve seen tools that did this well.
