Validating startup ideas with AI Personas - building Zaqlick (launching September 🚀)

Hey IH 👋 I’m Elena - solo founder building Zaqlick, a tool that helps you validate startup ideas before you write a single line of code.

🧠 The Problem
As a founder, I’ve wasted weeks building features no one asked for.
User interviews are gold, but they take time, energy, and access to users, especially early on.
And ChatGPT? It’s helpful, but generic unless you really know how to prompt.

💡 The Idea
Zaqlick lets you talk to synthetic AI Personas built from real community signals (like Reddit, Twitter/X, Hacker News).
You give us:

Your idea

Competitors

Where your users hang out

And we give you:
✅ Realistic personas that sound like your ICP
✅ Structured conversation flows for validation
✅ Updated personas every month (some added, some retired)

You can test:

Idea clarity

Positioning

Value prop

Pricing
...and more - all in 1:1 chats with synthetic users.

Zaqlick doesn’t replace real research. It’s the step before it.
