WatchNLearn

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm James, founder of WatchNLearn. Excited to share what we're building. **The backstory:** In 2013, I tried installing a kitchen faucet after watching YouTube tutorials. Six videos later, I still had no idea which valve wrench would work with MY specific model. Spent 4 hours at 3 hardware stores. Eventually gave up and paid a plumber $200. That's happened 47 times since—different projects, same problem. The learning content exists. But the gap between "I want to do this" and "I successfully did it" is massive. **Why WatchNLearn exists:** We're building infrastructure that connects ANY instructional video to the exact products and services you need—personalized to your situation, available locally, with a fallback to professionals if it's too complex. Think ChatGPT, but for the moment you're watching a tutorial and thinking "where do I even get that?" **What makes us different:** - Universal (works with any tutorial category) - AI-personalized (your skill level, location, equipment) - Local-first (same-day pickup, nearby services) - Service fallback (connect to local pros if needed) **Where we are:** Filed 5 USPTO patents, raising pre-seed, launching Q1 2026. **I'd love your feedback:** 1. Does this problem resonate with you? 2. What's a project YOU abandoned because sourcing materials was too frustrating? 3. What categories would you use this for first? Thanks for checking us out! I'll be here all day answering questions.
