I was afraid to launch things in public.
I carefully planned almost a 100 private user tests with hand-picked people around our hypotheses.
It felt safe, cozy ~ and easy to do as a product designer (comfort zone).
It provided decent learning, but little in validation.

Much like humans, AI will have to unlearn things at some point.

Asking for feedback well is hard, but after today's chats with our users,...
I'm biasing to explore process, hopes, and goals....
It's rewarding bc → it gets ppl excited about how life could be different; and helps us inform roadmap 10x instead of just incremental changes.

What an incredible analysis.
Gives a bit of solace after few months of building and feeling like our crowd is still somewhere out there.
Though there will never be a foolproof formula for finding product-market fit, here’s my best attempt at creating a guide for B2B startups that'll save you much time and pain.
It's based on interviews and research into the PMF journeys of 25 top B2B startups.

super humbling to hear this! 😳
We love elicit, but these are exactly the reasons why we think there's still room in this space.
I have been finding
@readwonders
and
@metaphorsystems
more useful than
@elicitorg
, and that is sad.
I like how elicit can process the paper, but the scraping is so old, and the semantic search is poorer, that the actual novelty in output is no longer useful.

"Can you build technology and sell technology?" - said
@rio_hodges_
during our
@antler_us
residency.
Two important capacities for founders- and hands down feeling the collective we tend to overfit on *building*.
Building without selling is a thought exercise.

My passion lies in nutritional psychology, but my knowledge of scientific terminology is limited.

He paints a way out of all this mess by integrating
