User Persona Generator - Understand your audience without 50 interviews

@kronop @basv Congrats on the launch 🚀 Bringing all those free tools to the market is a game changer and lead magnet 🧲 Thanks!

@basv @ilko_kacharov thank you Ilko! 5 more free tools coming this year 😎

@jackson_huge thank you Jackson. appreciate you 💪

Congratulations @kronop on the launch. It looks like an amazing product idea. All the best!

@kronop this is super useful! It not only helps to figure out some insights but also to prepare a nice overall description for the pitch deck 🙌 Thanks for creating this and good luck with the lunch!

@rubenlozanome I like interviews. But I also know that 99% of Founders don't. This is how this tool was born :)

@rubenlozanome @kronop wow 99% that's scary.. maybe that's why so many fail - If you can solve for customer pain at a reasonable price , you will get paid handsomely congrats on the launch

@rubenlozanome I doubt that the makers hate interviews :) I would see this much like automated tools for accessibility. It gives a first quick pass, surfaces the obvious quick wins, and from there, you can dig in deeper. Nothing beats speaking to your users or using the accessibility angle; ask users using accessible tech to test your website or app. I would also assume that there is a cost angle here. Doing user interviews is not cheap, so for many early startup founders, having a tool such as this gives them something. Something is almost always better than nothing.

@mechanicalink yes I agree with you. But one thing is saying, "founders hate speak with customers and this is the solution" and other is "here is a tool to start generating your persona if you don't have one". Really, I want to know if founders hate interviews, because basically the foundations of Lean Canvas and User Research are for nothing. 😂 Is it expensive speak with your customers? I did many interviews and all of them for free because they want to help and share their ideas. However, if you want to offer to use your product for free for a period of time is not bad. but expensive? 😂

@rubenlozanome I missed the "hate to speak with customers" part. I saw this line from their website, "Understand your ideal customer without running 50 interviews." I do not believe that it is meant to say that founders hate user interviews or that doing them is unnecessary. I think it hints at the fact that it can be expensive, whether that be expensive from a time investment perspective or real monetary cost, and that this tool can help you get started. "I want to know if founders hate interviews" I do not hate interviews; quite the opposite. "Is it expensive speak with your customers?" If you already have customers, then for sure, you have many ways to engage with them that will not cost anything other than time. However, this could be helpful if you have a sense of who your customers could be but still need to do the required research. I say that without having tested it yet myself, though. Sometimes I find these tools, and a lot of AI tools in general, to be a nice way to think through a problem. Ultimately, you may come to your own conclusions, but asking questions and thinking through the responses helps. " but expensive?" Again, depending on the product and the stage you are in, this can be free or relatively low cost. I have been involved in a product with a large community who would happily talk with us for free. Even though this was the case, we always reimbursed them in some way for their time. Some people find it easy to approach people online or in real life to ask questions and do some user and market research. For others, this is really hard and so having access to tools such as this can be valuable.

@lu_boolv spot on, Gloria. I hate interviews myself so this tool will be a perfect time-saver for me 💪

@lu_boolv @kronop Didn't you just comment 5 mins ago that you like interviews? Which is it?

@lu_boolv @brandon_harrison damn, can't trick you Brandon

@lu_boolv thank you, Gloria! That's exactly our target - save time and still give some insights 🔥

@jonurbonas thank you Jonas! agree, this Persona is 80% of insights with 0.001% of effort. it's a good start 💪

@kronop Well said, that's your ad right there!

@alex_dyadischev thank you, Alex!

@dan_mindru thank you Dan! you are awesome, don't ever forget that

@dan_mindru thank you Dan! *clicking confetti on hunted.space*

@basv @daniel_studzinski Of course! Trying to make user research a habit one step at a time. Thanks Daniel! You are awesome

@kronop @daniel_studzinski that's exactly why we built it - providing an easy first step and showing that talking to users actually gives insights! Thank you, Daniel!

@basv @karthik_tatikonda thank you Karthik :) appreciate it!

@kronop @karthik_tatikonda thank you, Karthik!

@ashishk36 we need to ship the third one soon 😅

@kronop 😂

@serhii_uspenskyi thanks Serhii! 🫡

@kronop no worries!

@gary159 That's actually great insight I hadn't thought of when I used the tool. You do want to avoid biases.

@gary159 such a good point. Thanks a lot for the feedback, Gary! Need to add more unpleasant truth 😄

@macloud_moyo if you already conducted user interviews for your product idea, it definitely won't give you insights you don't know. We made this tool for founders who hate (and never do) user interviews. That's a good first step from knowing nothing to understand something 😄 It will be a good challenge to make it useful for marketers also. Thank you for the feedback!

@basv yes, I definitely agree that this is great for founders going from 0-1 🙌🏿

@kevin_t_ that's a good starting point if you want to learn more about your audience but haven't done any interviews yet.

@kronop @ifranchini wohooo, so glad it helps. Thank you, Nacho!

@dunsin nice, thank you Dunsin!

@cna777 glad to help Nandu! appreciate your support 🫡
