USER NEEDS

Pain Points:

  • Businesses lack visibility into how users interact with their websites post-launch
  • Existing tools (Hotjar, Clarity, Full Story) only show user actions but don't provide actionable insights
  • Difficulty understanding what users are trying to accomplish and where they get confused

Problems to Solve:

  • Need to interpret user behavior data to improve websites
  • Reduce user confusion and improve user experience
  • Make data-driven decisions for website optimization

Potential Solutions:

  • AI-powered analytics that provide actionable insights from session replays and heatmaps
  • Software that identifies user confusion points and suggests specific website changes
  • Tools that go beyond data collection to offer recommendations

GROWTH FACTORS

Effective Strategies:

  • Building software to solve a validated pain point experienced in previous business
  • Starting with internal use for existing clients before public launch

Marketing & Acquisition:

  • Offering a free plan to encourage user testing and feedback
  • Sharing success story on relevant communities (e.g., Indie Hackers subreddit)

Monetization & Product:

  • Freemium model (free plan mentioned)
  • Focus on AI-driven actionable insights as key differentiator
  • Solving a clear gap in existing market (moving beyond data collection to interpretation)

User Engagement:

  • Public launch with free tier to lower barrier to entry
  • Community outreach through platform sharing (Reddit post)
