Will trade free UI/UX design feedback for 60 seconds of your time. (My app is failing)
Hey IH,
I’m a UI/UX designer. I recently launched Bunzee (https://bunzee.ai) an AI competitor analysis tool.
I spent months making the UI perfect, but my Product Hunt launch tanked (8 upvotes), and Google Ads are bleeding money with almost zero conversions.
I’m terrified my core messaging is confusing, or my "pretty design" is actually a bad UX for new users.
I need a brutal, 60-second roast. I don't need you to test the whole heavy app right now. Just tell me:
When you look at the landing page, do you immediately know what this is?
What is the #1 reason you WOULDN'T sign up based on the homepage?
The Trade 🤝:
If you leave a harsh, honest comment below, drop a link to your own project. I will put on my professional UI/UX designer hat and give you a detailed roast/teardown of your landing page or user flow in return.
Help me stop burning ad money! Roast me in the comments. 👇
Took a closer look at the landing + flow — here’s a more concrete breakdown.
The first screen looks clean, but I still don’t immediately understand what specific outcome I’ll get.
“Trust real data” sounds strong, but as a user I’m thinking:
what exactly will I walk away with after I use this?
The input field is where I hesitated the most.
It requires me to already have a well-formed idea and put effort in before seeing any value.
For something like this, I almost expect:
– a super simple input (or even a pre-filled example)
– and then a very clear, structured output
Right now, after submitting, the result feels closer to a general AI assistant response.
It’s informative, but not obviously actionable.
I was expecting something more like:
– clear market gaps
– positioning suggestions
– “do / don’t build” signals
– or a structured decision output
So the main drop for me is:
I’m not fully sure what decision this helps me make.
It feels like:
“analysis”
instead of
“decision support”
And that difference is probably what’s affecting conversion.
Overall it doesn’t feel like a design issue —
it feels like a clarity + outcome framing issue.
Happy to go deeper into where the flow loses momentum if useful — I think you’re actually quite close here.
Thank you for your valuable feedback. Your insightful criticism has given our team a lot to think about!
To clarify our vision, Bunzee is designed for two types of users. For users with ideas, we support them in analyzing market trends, identifying competitors, and pinpointing problems to build a Final Product Requirements Document (PRD) and a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). For users without ideas, we help them generate ideas by collecting real user reviews (non-AI-based) from various channels such as Reddit and app stores, and support them through the same PRD/MVP development process.
We were concerned that the learning curve might be steep since this tool focuses on business-level data analysis and documentation, but your experience has helped us understand why it currently feels complex.
Your comments regarding 'clarity and the way results are presented' are entirely correct. We will share this with our team and incorporate it into our improvement plans.
Please feel free to use Bunzee, and let us know if you have any feedback at any time. Thank you.
That makes sense — and I think the way you described the two user types actually explains where the confusion is coming from.
Right now both flows (idea generation and idea validation → PRD/MVP) are combined into one experience.
As a new user, I don’t really know:
am I here to explore ideas,
or to validate and make a decision on something I already have?
So I end up in the middle — putting effort into input, but not being sure what kind of outcome I’ll get.
I think that’s why it feels complex, even if the underlying logic is solid.
It might help to make the entry point much more explicit, something like:
– “I have an idea → validate it”
– “I don’t have an idea → find opportunities”
And then shape the output very clearly around that choice.
Because right now the output feels like analysis,
but the user expectation is closer to:
“tell me what to do next”
You’re probably very close — it feels more like a framing problem than a product problem.
Happy to map how those two flows could look as separate first-time experiences if useful.
I sincerely thank you for your heartfelt feedback. I fully agree with the opinion that the entry point needs to be made much clearer. I fully understand that the barriers to entry will differ for users who already have an idea and those who do not, as they refine their thoughts and move on to the next step.
Have you tried creating a PRD document after passing the competitor analysis stage?
Excuse me, skynet2101, but may I ask what you are currently doing and where you live?
I didn’t go all the way to generating a full PRD yet — I focused more on the first interaction and the competitor analysis step, since that’s where I felt the most friction.
From that part alone, it already felt like the outcome wasn’t fully clear yet, which made it harder to commit to going deeper into the flow.
I can go through the PRD step as well and see how the experience evolves there.
As for me — I work with early-stage products on UX and onboarding flows, mostly focusing on how to turn “interesting tools” into something users immediately understand and get value from.
Based in Europe.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful answer. I only asked about the city you're active in because Bunzee.ai is currently aiming for global expansion, and I wanted to understand our global audience better I hope it didn't feel too intrusive!
Regarding the 'strategy' and 'competitor' stages, could you tell me which parts specifically made you feel hesitant or made it difficult to make a choice? I’d love to understand what felt the most confusing for you.
I work as a UI/UX designer with a slightly stronger focus on UI, but I would like to be of help to you as well.
It didn’t feel confusing in terms of UI — more in terms of decision clarity.
The main hesitation for me happened around two points:
First, the “strategy / competitor” stage felt like it required me to already be quite confident in my idea.
So instead of guiding me toward a decision, it felt like:
“I need to define things properly first → then I can use the tool”
Second, after getting the result, I wasn’t fully sure what action to take next.
The output had useful information,
but it wasn’t immediately clear:
“based on this, should I move forward, change something, or drop the idea?”
So the hesitation wasn’t about understanding the interface,
but about:
“What decision does this actually help me make right now?”
That’s why it felt like analysis rather than decision support.
I think if the output made the next step more explicit
(even something simple like “recommended direction” or “next action”),
it would feel much easier to continue deeper into the flow.
Thank you for the feedback. Working as a UI/UX designer myself, I’ve also felt that some of the decision-making for Bunzee felt a bit foreign at times. I think that was a blind spot I had simply because I’ve been so deeply involved with Bunzee for such a long time it’s easy to lose that fresh perspective when you're so close to the product.
That makes sense — it’s really easy to lose that “fresh user perspective” when you’re deep in the product.
One thing that might help here is making the decision layer more explicit in the output.
Right now it feels like:
“here’s the analysis → now you decide”
But for a first-time user, it could be more like:
– “based on this → build / refine / drop”
– “top risk to validate next”
– “what to test before going further”
So instead of just informing, it actively moves the user forward.
Also, since you have two different user types,
the “next step” might need to look different for each:
– idea exploration → narrow down direction
– idea validation → decide what to do next
If helpful, I can map a simple version of how that decision layer could look in the flow.
@skynet2101 you so much for your thoughtful feedback. It really feels like Bunzee is heading in a much better direction because of it. Since I’ve been so close to the project for so long, I definitely developed some blind spots, but you managed to pinpoint exactly where we were falling short without any prior info. I’m incredibly grateful for how detailed and kind your suggestions were.
Moving forward, my team and I are planning to make the experience much more approachable and granular, especially for those users who are still navigating tough questions like identifying their riskiest assumptions or deciding whether to narrow down their niche.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you ever need a fresh perspective from my end. I’d love to return the favor and be as helpful to you as you’ve been to me!
@LilyJeon Took another look — this already feels significantly clearer than before.
The biggest improvement for me is the separation between:
– “I have an idea”
– “No idea? Pick one”
That alone reduces a lot of the initial confusion, because now the entry point matches the user’s intent much better.
The output also feels much more structured and decision-oriented now:
scores, market sizing, competitor breakdowns, growth outlook, etc.
It feels much closer to a real business intelligence tool rather than a generic AI analysis flow. One thing that still feels slightly missing though is the “what should I do next?” layer.
For example, after seeing something like:
“Wait & See, Needs More Proof”
I still find myself wondering:
– what specifically should I validate next?
– what is the highest-risk assumption?
– should I narrow the niche, pivot positioning, or continue as-is?
So, the analysis clarity improved a lot, but the next-step guidance could probably become even more explicit. Overall, though, this already feels much more understandable and directionally stronger than the previous version. You’re definitely moving in the right direction.
I’ve shared all the insights from our deep discussion with my team. We’ve been busy making improvements based on those points, and I’d love to know what you think of the changes. If you have a moment, would you mind checking out the updates? https://bunzee.ai/

The issue isn’t the UI, but it’s positioning.
When I land on the page, it’s not immediately clear:
So even if the product is strong, the value doesn’t click fast enough.
That usually kills conversions more than design.
I’d also simplify the first section to focus on one clear use case instead of multiple directions.
Happy to share a few specific ideas if helpful.
Thank you so much for the sharp feedback!
To give you a quick overview, Bunzee is built for anyone who wants to create a product but is wrestling with the question: 'Will this idea actually survive in the market?'
When you have an idea, Bunzee steps in to validate it. It tracks down competitors, extracts their pain points, and generates a full PRD based on accurate, hallucination-free data. On top of that, it gives you an MVP prompt that you can simply copy and paste right into design agent tools like Stitch, Google AI Studio, or Lovable.
Naturally, it shines the most in the pre-development validation phase. Just like our own team used to do, founders waste countless hours drowning in Excel sheets to validate ideas. Bunzee shrinks that entire grind down to just one minute.
I believe our biggest differentiator from other AI tools is that we prove business viability based on real 'human' data zero hallucinations.
However, your point hits home. As you mentioned, even if the product itself is great, it’s a problem if users can't instantly grasp its value. I’ll be taking this feedback straight to the team for a deep dive.
By the way, could you elaborate a bit more on the specific idea you mentioned? I'd love to hear more!"
