Journeying From Sales Manager to AI Based Entrepreneur

hey all buidlers out here..
preetty late to join the producthunt party, but here i am..

I’m Chaitanya Patankar — spent 17+ years in industrial automation, enterprise sales, and GTM strategy working with companies like Siemens, Rockwell Automation, and Schneider Electric.

Which basically means… I somehow went from PLCs, factories, and million-dollar industrial systems to obsessing over why 7 people visited my website and 6 silently disappeared 😭

A while ago, I started building Zoftwaare — and like every founder ever, I opened:
Hotjar ✅
Google Analytics ✅
Search Console ✅
Lucky Orange ✅

…and still had absolutely no clue why users were leaving.

I could see:

• clicks

• rage clicks

• scroll depth

• drop-offs

• session recordings

…but not their intent.

At some point I realized:

I didn’t need more analytics.

I needed users to tell me what they were trying to do before they disappeared.

So I spent a weekend sleep-deprived, over-caffeinated, and probably making questionable life choices building the first version of Loopnote in under 72 hours.

Now it tries to understand user intent in real time and asks contextual questions at the right moment — basically helping founders figure out the “why” behind user behavior.

Still building. Still learning. Still debugging things at 2AM that magically work after refreshing twice.

Would genuinely love to connect with:

• founders building weird/interesting products

• people obsessed with UX & user psychology

• anyone who has ever stared at analytics dashboards pretending to understand them or even actually understanding them (kudos if you do!)

Also curious:
What’s one thing users do in your product that still completely confuses you?
