Building an AI startup taught me one thing very quickly: founders spend way too much time building quietly and not enough time talking openly with other builders.
At Insyghtful.ai, some of our biggest progress came not from product meetings, but from conversations with founders, sales leaders, early users, and people willing to share honest feedback. Startup communities honestly make the journey less lonely and much faster.
Happy to connect, learn from others here, and share our own lessons building real-time AI for sales teams.
Everyone talks about building products.
Nobody talks enough about deleting features.
Recently, we removed several features we spent weeks building because almost nobody used them.
The surprising part?
User satisfaction improved, onboarding became simpler, and support requests decreased.
It was a painful reminder that users don't care how long something took to build—they only care if it solves their problem.
What's the most difficult feature or idea you've had to let go of, and what happened after you removed it?
