AI tutoring tools are becoming more common, but I think there s still a big gap between answering questions and actually teaching. A chatbot can explain a concept, but a tutor identifies misconceptions, asks guiding questions, adapts explanations, and helps learners build confidence over time. I m curious how other builders and educators think about this. If you were designing an AI tutor today, what capabilities would you consider essential before calling it a tutor instead of a chatbot?
Hey everyone - I'm launching my first product soon & would love to tap into this community's experience on price-setting for B2C software (ours helps job seekers).
The long story short is we ve been leaning towards entering a fairly established market at significantly lower pricing (like ~4-5x) than competitors. The thesis is this will help us A) attract users in general, and B) drive better unit economics by focusing more on capturing paid users and not focusing (much?) on total user acquisition (paid + free).
Some mornings every business I run seems to need me at the same time, a slow-paying client in one, a staffing gap in another, a decision that cannot wait in the third. For a long time I just answered whichever one reached me first, which usually meant the loudest problem won, not the most important one.
Lately I've been trying to ask a different question before I touch anything: which one of these actually loses real money or a real relationship if I wait until tomorrow. Most mornings the honest answer is only one of them. The rest can hold, even though they don't feel like they can in the moment.
The growth of MVP services The growth of AI tools that help you generate the code What's the point of MVP services when the majority of people (with a very little knowledge about the code) can use AI to create their first MVP? Yeah, you can now argument that some solutions are technologically more difficult and that's the point where the MVP service provider can step in, but anyway...
Lately I ve been thinking about how different design challenges look depending on the product you re building.
In theory, design processes often look clean and structured. But in reality, every product comes with its own constraints unclear requirements, edge cases, technical limitations, or simply trying to balance user needs with business goals.
