Hey PH! I'm Agshin, founder of Emotix. Built this in Estonia, originally from Azerbaijan. Here's why this exists. Last year I spent 3 months building a product nobody wanted. I did what every founder does. Asked ChatGPT "is this a good idea," got a beautiful 2000 word analysis that basically said "yes, go for it." It sounded smart. It was completely useless. The market had moved on 6 months before I even started. There were 4 competitors I never found. And the actual users I was targeting? They were on Reddit saying they solved the problem with a Google Sheet. I found all of this out AFTER I built. That moment when you realize you wasted months because an AI told you what you wanted to hear? That's what broke me enough to build Emotix. The problem with using ChatGPT for market validation is simple: it doesn't know what's happening right now. It gives you plausible sounding analysis based on training data. It sounds confident. It's often wrong. And you can't click any of its "sources" because they don't exist. Emotix is different because it goes and actually looks. You tell it your idea. It comes back with real Reddit threads where people are complaining about the exact problem you want to solve. With links. With dates. With actual quotes. It finds your competitors' App Store reviews and shows you what users hate about them. It estimates willingness to pay based on what similar tools charge and how people react to those prices. Then it gives you a validation score based on real signals, not vibes. It's opinionated too. It will tell you "this space is crowded, but here's a niche nobody is serving" or "literally nobody is searching for this, you should pivot." I wanted a tool that treats me like an honest cofounder, not a yes man. We have 261 early testers using it now. Some of them killed ideas that would have wasted their time. Some found niches they never would have spotted. Both of those are wins. What I'd love from you today: Try it with your current idea or a side project you've been thinking about. Tell me if the evidence it finds changes your mind about anything. And if it doesn't find good evidence, tell me that too. That feedback is gold. This is early. The product is rough in places. But the core thing, finding real evidence from the live internet instead of generating plausible fiction, that works. And I think it matters. Thanks for checking it out. Agshin
