Idea type: Freemium

People love using similar products but resist paying. You’ll need to either find who will pay or create additional value that’s worth paying for.

Should You Build It?

Build but think about differentiation and monetization.


Your are here

Your idea of an AI-powered app that captures and tailors saved content falls into the "Freemium" category. This means users are generally interested in the core functionality but may be hesitant to pay for it. The good news is that with 12 similar products, there's clearly a market for this type of service, and the engagement (avg 14 comments) on similar products is high, indicating substantial user interest. However, this also means you'll face significant competition. The challenge will be to find a compelling way to monetize while providing enough value in the free version to attract and retain users. Differentiation is crucial; simply offering the same features as competitors won't be enough to stand out.

Recommendations

  1. Given the "Freemium" category, rigorously identify your ideal user: who gets the most value from the free version? Dig into their workflows and pain points. Understanding this deeply will inform your premium feature development. If electricians are benefiting, how can you hyper-serve them like FileAI seems to have found?
  2. Based on your ideal user, create premium features that genuinely solve their problems and offer substantial productivity boosts. Don't just gatekeep existing features; innovate and create new value. Think about offering integrations with other apps or platforms.
  3. Explore the possibility of charging teams or organizations instead of individual users. Businesses may be more willing to pay for features that enhance collaboration and knowledge sharing. Consider offering tiered plans with different levels of support and customization.
  4. Offer personalized help or consulting services as a premium offering. This could involve helping users optimize their content organization strategies or providing customized AI training. This plays on the AI assistant angle, but makes it tangible.
  5. Since users have expressed concerns about bias in app reviews, be proactive in addressing these issues and ensure transparency in your review process. Implement mechanisms to detect and mitigate bias in your AI algorithms.
  6. Based on criticism of products like Parikar, avoid creating a user experience that feels claustrophobic or controlling. Give users agency over their content and how it's organized. Don't measure how much the user reads. Let them guide the AI with their behaviour and actions.
  7. From the AI Notebook App criticism, it's clear that users value accessibility. Ensure your app has a robust web version and seamless integration with other platforms they use. Prioritize mobile support for on-the-go access.
  8. Differentiate yourself from generic AI assistants. As the AI Assistant launch suggests, users want unique advantages over competitors like ChatGPT. What specific niche or problem does your app solve better than anyone else?

Questions

  1. Considering the competition in the "Freemium" space, what's your unfair advantage? What can your app do that competitors can't easily replicate?
  2. Given the need for a clear value proposition, how will you measure and demonstrate the ROI of your premium features to potential subscribers?
  3. Many similar products face criticism regarding privacy and data security. How will you build trust and ensure user data is protected, especially with AI-driven content tailoring?

The maximum is +1, which means all comments (across all similar products) were positive, expressed a willingness to use & buy said product. The minimum is -1 and it means the exact opposite.

The y-axis captures the strength of the signal, i.e. how many people commented and how does this rank against other products in this category. The maximum is +1, which means these products were the most liked, upvoted and talked about launches recently. The minimum is 0, meaning zero engagement or feedback was received.

The sizes of the product dots are determined by the relevance to your idea, where 10 is the maximum.

Your idea is the big blueish dot, which should lie somewhere in the polygon defined by these products. It can be off-center because we use custom weighting to summarize these metrics.

Screvi – Stop Forgetting What You Read

16 Oct 2024 Productivity

If you’re anything like me, you read and highlight a lot but always seem to forget most of it. Not only that, but I find myself spending too much time scrolling Twitter and Instagram these days.I needed an app with similar features, but one that would make me productive instead of feeding me addicting and pointless content.The usual notion/obsidian workflows are nice, but they get overly complex quick and I end up wasting a lot of time on them. I needed something easy and accessible like a social media app.So, I built an app that fixes these issues by capturing and transforming my thousands of highlights into a scrollable, Instagram-like feed.key features- Sync highlights from Kindle- Capture physical book highlights- Save from Twitter- Transcribe audio notes (so I can add highlights/thoughts while running or walking)- Feed/Stories systemLet me know what you think! And if you find any bugs or have any ideas, please let me know at support@screvi.com

Reading aloud improves memory, study says.

Parikar, Read long form articles or blogs in a better, measurable way

15 Mar 2024 Writing Productivity

Hi HN, creator here. This is a speed reading tool for longform articles, with speed control. I believe the conversational style UI, can make text reading better and you can come back to the later to read from where you left, it will automatically seek to that position. It also gives you exact time it will take you to read through whole article along with % of article you have read.I am also experimenting with integrating various AI, APIs like text summarization, automatic tagging etc. to help user read in a better way.Would love to hear more feedback.

Users commented on a speed reading tool for longform articles, noting its teleprompter-like feature and engaging presentation of reading material. Some questioned its necessity and superiority over traditional reading, while others criticized the focus on measurable reading speed and the user interface that discourages adding articles to a reading list. The concept of fighting reading addiction with another form of addiction was also mentioned, along with references to tsundoku and the anti-library phenomenon.

Users criticized the product for being unclear about its benefits for reading, lacking explanations, and questioning the need for measurable reading, especially for long-form content. Concerns were raised about the approach to addiction, the claustrophobic experience, lack of control and context, and a user interface that makes users feel like failures.

(similar to a subreddit) ~ Related Articles. ~ Library expansion. Create groups, subtopics, etc. ~ Mood Reading. Enjoy articles / topics at certain times of the day instead of random. ~ Filters, filters, filters, & much more planned.Not for who you or what you think will make Tidby great, but what would make Tidby useful for you?Thank you for reading!

Users are generally excited about the app, particularly for managing information overload. Some users appreciate its simplicity and elegance, comparing it to Hacker News. However, there are concerns about potential bias in app reviews. One user mentioned they will look into the app and provide a review.

The primary criticism is that the app review process is biased.
