It's a great idea, do more research on the market, and competitors that have a product out like this. Don't be discouraged by this if you do find successful products like your idea, that's a good thing - proves validity and demand for it.

I'd actually like to pose this question here for anyone to answer: what would personally make or heighten your chances of wanting to interact or use an AI companion?

Admittedly, as someone building a product within the AI companion market, I've only used companion apps to gather research, not use. I've found them to be interesting, but the way certain apps go about their product or the things they include, it's really off-putting (don't get me started on the bf/gf AI apps) but that's something I desire to change. I believe we're still in the infancy phases...

Tldr: just go for it and publish man. I'd say if your features and everything is all good + functional, and you're just worried about aesthetics only at this point, just launch

🛠️ Makers, how do you actually know when it’s ready to launch?

If you're thinking this hard, I feel like that's valuable time you could've used to launch. It's actually good that people see your work's imperfections. That way, as you polish features and eventually change the UI, it shows growth and people will become invested in that. My team and I are so close to finishing our prototype's development (July 31st!) and by no means is it to where I envision...

Communication, building relationships (be consistent!!) and taking action are key, regardless of how smart or dumb you are. I had to learn all of these through trial and error, as someone who didn't grow up a good communicator or that social

Love this question. What led to me coming up with my product idea: MVP.ai, providing users with emotionally intelligent AI companions that they can grow with and converse with, was just ultimately looking at what I felt the world was missing. I felt that there were two things I wanted to confront with my product: the minimalistic/gray state of the world currently, and the hesitancy surrounding...

Building out your product's first features

So my team and I have been hard at work to finish developing our app product, and as the visionary and product designer and director, I'm beginning to make a list of features that will be added within the first couple of months of us launching. My question is: how have you guys chose what are the top new features that will be prioritized and built? What are some best practices for first new...

I'd like to ask: what did they tell you that made you decide to terminate the project? And what was the actual reason behind you terminating the project? And yes, I have about three times now in my life, and I've always dreaded it afterwards, just due to having put so much love and effort and it just sucks to "give up" on an idea. But you brought it to life, you saw it through and should be...

It's deeper just the earning potential for me, it's the whole having an idea and bringing it to reality, while also contributing something to somebody's life. It's such a dopamine hit and creating something with purpose easily overrides what a 9-5 is to me. If that structure works for you or it's more tolerable for you, then there's no issue there, there's a lot more stress going down the...

Riskiest? If we're talking in general, cab or taxi companies (unless it's autonomous), graphic design (at a basic, beginner level). Flourishing? No one comes to mind, but if there's a tech company that can target tradesmen/blue-collar work somehow, that seems like it could work really well. Mental health/digital wellness and cybersecurity are obvious choices. An underrated hot take: I believe...

So I do believe my job does offer free mental health, but only temporarily/for a certain amount of sessions before it becomes paid. I personally haven't tried it out and don't plan to, but it seems decent on the surface, but it takes more than a few sessions to have an effective breakthrough I'm sure. Overall, mental health will become so critical moving forward with an increasingly digital...

Let's discuss your stance on AI companions

My co-founder and I are building MVP.ai, emotionally intelligent AI companions that people can learn from (from skills to studying), regulate and process their emotions (thus increasing emotional IQ), talk with, and overall, grow together in an immersive bonding experience. But wait... building AI companions, that seems unethical? Dangerous, right? Well yeah, the idea itself can come off as...

So I had the fortunate experience of meeting my co-founder over on LinkedIn back in Feburary, just due to us living in the same state and I wanted to connect with her since she was pursuing a tech degree like I was. It's even crazier because we connected before my product idea came to mind. After I brought the idea to her, she showed me nothing but green flags (pitched her own ideas, started...

I'm currently on X and LinkedIn the most, but I have plans to expand into Medium, Substack, and Instagram. I've found that it's incredibly time-consuming to focus on more than 1-2 platforms, especially as you're building out your own product and company. I try to post at least 1x a week on X and LinkedIn (I know, not a lot but other things are holding priority right now), but I do fall short of...

Does anyone else feel like the world, especially tech, has lost its color and soul?

Minimalism and modernization has had its grip on not just the tech industry, but just about everything, for a decade plus now. From products and branding to entire company cultures, I believe it's all harming us in the long-run and the effects have been showing for awhile now. You can even take a look at AI as well, so many tools feel sterile and transactional, entirely focused on automation,...
