How did you come up with the idea for your product?

As for me, all ideas come when I learn something new. It can be a different field or area of knowledge. And then at the intersection of areas some new solutions and ideas are found

It wasn't through excessive thinking for sure! The general concept came to me whilst travelling, I then worked to refine it for a while, but the idea was there!

Scratching my own itch!

The idea came from the need to solve my problem )

I've had an ad-revenue based tool for years. It's always been a side/passion project and never quite knew how to make it a product or at the very least the best way to improve it. I had a feedback form on it but didn't get enough traction to truly understand the visitor's needs. Last month I decided to change the feedback form's design, include follow-up questions, and add it in two places. The engagement jumped and visitors started providing really valuable insights on what they value and what else they need. The insights have been a game changer for the sites. Then I thought what if my follow-up questions could take into account the feedback they have already provided so it's not redundant and I could deeply understand what their needs were? What if my feedback form could run an instant qualitative research session? I knew AI could help. I researched and could not find anything quite like the idea, I know there's a UX research market and I knew other creators like myself could potentially find a tool like this valuable. I've been building it and learning ever since!
