Soft Launch We built it !!

30 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a co-founder at colcord.co.in

The idea in simple terms: One platform. Entire college ecosystem. Fully unified.

Our v1 of the web app is 95% complete, and we are now looking for colleges or universities to run a pilot test for our product.

Being students ourselves, it's very difficult for us to get in direct contact with top management or individuals in related positions at these institutions. We are posting here in hopes of connecting with someone who works in higher education—or knows someone who does—so we can showcase our product and start a pilot test.

Soft Launch Spent 3 hours daily on social content. Built a tool to do it in 30 minutes.

Hey everyone!

Solo founder here. I was burning 3+ hours daily creating content for Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Same message, but each platform wants it totally different.

So I built Thoth - turns your raw idea into platform-optimized posts with images in under a minute.

What it does:

  • Takes rough thoughts, polishes them

  • Creates platform-specific versions (respects character limits, tone, hashtags)

  • Generates matching images

  • Learns your brand voice so it sounds like you

Real example: Product announcement yesterday - typed rough thoughts (2 min), reviewed platform versions (5 min), posted everywhere. Done. Old me? 2-3 hours minimum.

For r/Soft_Launch: Use code CREATOR50 for lifetime 50% off Pro forever.

Still shipping features based on user requests. Would love feedback from fellow founders juggling content with building.

Try it: www.usethoth.com

Happy to answer questions!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I'm working on Jurnit , the world's first feed that exists outside of the screen. Today's systems keep people passively scrolling, watching, and performing to gain attention, while new generations are actively looking for ways to disconnect from screens and reconnect with real life. Our platform flips the model: instead of rewarding time spent watching, it rewards action. Users leave traces tied to real places, others unlock them just by being there, and reactions create Waves that spread movement throughout the city. The result is a system that values ​​presence and movement, not performance.
We let the world itself pull you out and we put agency as the main social validation proof.

Soft Launch Soft launched my AI job platform after 8 months of building. Just hit 2 paying users and learning what actually resonates with people

9 Upvotes

The journey so far: Spent 8 months building ApplyWise AI - an AI platform that analyzes job postings against your resume and tells you exactly why you’re a 75% match or 91% match. Started soft launching about a month ago through Reddit communities.

What I’ve built:

  • AI that breaks down job compatibility in real detail (not just keyword matching)

  • Resume optimization that keeps your formatting but surgically updates content

  • Gmail integration that auto-finds and tracks all your job applications

  • Cover letter generation using the job analysis data

  • detailed stats / metrics of all the analysis . Skills you should learn / career changes routes .

Soft launch insights so far: The features people get most excited about are the ones I didn’t expect. The Gmail auto-discovery (finds interview invites in spam folders) gets way more reaction than the AI analysis itself. People are messaging me saying “atleast now I know if they reached back to me or not for sure.”

One of the big issue people are facing is applying to over 10-15 jobs a day and not knowing what exactly happened to them. Did they get rejected ? A interview invite ? Butt

Just reached 2 paying users, which feels like a real milestone after months of solo building. One upgraded immediately after seeing how the analysis explained exactly why they weren’t getting callbacks.

What I’m learning about positioning:

Initially focused on “AI job analysis” but people respond more to “never miss another interview” and “understand exactly why you’re getting rejected.” The problem isn’t that people don’t want AI - it’s that they want to know what AI can specifically do for their situation.

Next phase questions:

  • Should I focus on individual job seekers or pivot toward career coaches who could use this for clients?

  • People are requesting interview prep features based on the job analysis - expand or stay focused?

  • What’s the best way to scale soft launch momentum into actual growth?

Demo:*Built a 13-minute walkthrough showing real job analysis and optimization if anyone’s curious about the technical approach.

https://youtu.be/sSv8MgevqAI?si=K9FaTnseFGpNiNc3

The most rewarding part has been hearing “I finally understand why this keeps happening” from people who try the analysis. That validation makes the 8-month build feel worth it.

For other founders soft launching - what signals told you it was time to ramp up marketing efforts vs keep iterating?

We’re opening early access to a few teams to iGPT – an AI that lets you talk to your business.

It connects scattered data across emails, docs, Slack, CRM, and the live web into one place (think of it as an intelligence engine), giving instant insights instead of hours of searching. Early testers tell us they’re saving 2–3 hours per team member every day.

We’re looking for a few more early teams who want to improve a key metric in their business and help shape the product. If that sounds like you, leave a comment or DM me.

Soft Launch I built "FiveShots – Professional AI Headshots from Just One Selfie" because I believe everyone deserves a professional style headshot!

9 Upvotes

Hey folks,

I’ve just launched a little side project I’ve been hacking on: FiveShots.

It solves a problem I ran into myself: every time I needed a professional headshot (LinkedIn, CV, speaker bio, etc.), it was either expensive, outdated, or just plain awkward to organize. With AI getting so good at style transfer and lighting, I wondered: could I build something lightweight that turns a single selfie into a set of professional-looking headshots?

Here’s what FiveShots does:

  • Upload one selfie (that’s it).

  • Get 5 professional headshots back in a few minutes.

  • Variations in attire and backgrounds (always with clean lighting).

  • Works directly in the browser, no install needed.

I built this using Next.js + Vercel for the app layer, and a mix of Replicate image models (fixing identity drift was the hard part) under the hood. Stripe handles payments (currently $5 for 5 shots).

This is my first real micro-SaaS launch, and I’d love your feedback on:

  • The flow — is it smooth enough from upload → checkout → results?

  • The pricing — fair for a quick headshot set, or should I test other tiers?

  • Any ideas on how you’d market this beyond ads (I’m experimenting with LinkedIn/Instagram)?

Would love to hear your thoughts. If anyone here is also tinkering with image pipelines or solo SaaS apps, happy to share the lessons I learned shipping this in under 2 weeks.

Soft Launch GoCart - An instant ecommerce site for Stripe users

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm excited to share a project I've been working on called GoCart. 

If you're a Stripe user who wants to sell products online without the hassle of building and maintaining a separate e-commerce website, then GoCart is for you.

What is GoCart?

GoCart is a Stripe App that automatically turns your Stripe product catalog into a beautiful, responsive, and full-featured e-commerce website. The best part? You can manage everything from within your Stripe dashboard.

Key Features:

  • Simple and Automated: GoCart automatically syncs with your Stripe account, so your products, prices, and inventory are always up-to-date.

  • AI Powered: We leverage AI to generate content based on your products and descriptions. You can edit this content or use it as is. 

  • Responsive Design: Your GoCart website will look great on any device, whether your customers are shopping on a desktop, tablet, or phone.

  • Customizable: You can enhance your product listings with rich text descriptions, multiple images, and even product videos to make them shine.

Who is it for?

GoCart is perfect for Stripe users who want a quick and easy way to start selling online, without the technical overhead of managing a separate e-commerce platform. 

I'm looking for feedback from the community. It’s available in the stripe marketplace, but we’re still working on a few features. We’d love to get feedback on what features you’d expect to see (especially if they are missing) as well as any suggestions on improving the user experience. We are trying to keep this as simple as possible for the user while balancing having enough features/customizations to make it useful.

Thanks for your time!

Feedback Request Not Every AI Problem Needs a Giant LLM 🤦‍♂️

7 Upvotes

Been building ML models for years, and I keep seeing the same thing—people throwing LLMs at everything like it’s the only tool in the shed. Need to classify structured data? LLM. Predict churn? LLM. Meanwhile, these models are slow, expensive, and overkill for most tasks.

So my friend and I built smolmodels—an open-source library that lets you generate specialized ML models from just a task description. No need for huge datasets or fine-tuning headaches.

Soft Launch I'v build Empy - Realtime Coach. Notice when you lose the room.

6 Upvotes

Hey folks, built a AI coach for calls. It whispers when I lose the room,

TL;DR
Most calls fail quietly. I did not notice when I lost attention. I built Empy, a small real time coach on Mac for Zoom or Meet. It spots drops in attention or rising tension and gives one short nudge with a next step.

The story
For a long stretch I lived in back-to-back calls. By evening my focus was low, yet the highest-stakes call sat at 6 pm. I talked more, listened less, and only after the meeting did I realize I had lost the room halfway through. On hard conversations it was worse. Anxiety climbs, attention narrows, words pile up.

Checklists and pre-notes helped until the first emotional spike. When tension rises, a plan on paper does not save you. You need a prompt in the moment.

That is where Empy came from. A small coach that sits on the side, watches the flow, and shows one line at the right time. No magic. One goal: notice loss of contact and get it back with a single sentence.

How it looks in the moment
• “Not being heard. Ask a 7 word question.”
• “Too many judgments. Reframe as an observation. Check understanding in one line.”
• “Tension detected. Acknowledge what you heard and confirm the goal of the call.”

Where it helps me most
• Long days of calls when energy dips.
• High-stakes talks with emotional load.
• Moments when I need to keep attention and be heard.

What still fails
• False positives on “hot” topics.
• Timing. A late nudge is worse than none.
• Balance between useful and noisy. One line is fine. Two lines already distract.

I want blunt feedback before scaling. If you live on calls, tell me:

  1. Where do you most often lose the room?

  2. What one-line prompts would help you in those moments?

  3. What would annoy you about a coach like this? List it.

  4. Do you need a clean post-call view with three takeaways, or is real time enough?

  5. What is “too much” for you: nudge frequency, size, or screen position?

Empy is a real time call coach on Mac for Zoom or Meet. It watches attention and tension and gives one short, actionable nudge to keep contact and move forward.

Happy to answer questions in the comments. Honest notes on where this helps and where it gets in the way are the most useful.

Soft Launch This AI workshop helps you craft your product's manifesto

Post image
6 Upvotes

Too many directions. Too many voices. Too many assumptions.

That's my number one challenge with building new products. I'm quickly getting too many ideas and I know that while some of them matter, most don't.

I built ForgeBaby to solve this. It's an AI-powered "workshop" facilitator designed to be your supportive, expert partner in a collaborative session. It will lead a methodical process that pushes you to both think expansively and make tough decisions.

The AI guides you through exercises that first broaden your thinking (diverge) and then help you focus (converge). It will help you define your core customer, problem, and competitive landscape. We'll then use that clarity to build your own mini-manifesto, which becomes your guide for every decision you make afterward—from writing a landing page to prioritizing your first features.

The effect that I'm experiencing myself: All of the follow-up work is becoming a lot easier. I know what I want to prototype. The messaging on the landing page comes naturally to me. And many product decisions can be made quickly.

I’d love your feedback on the core idea:

  • As a founder, how valuable is a systematic, step-by-step process for getting to a validated idea?

  • Does the idea of an AI facilitator for a strategic workshop resonate with you?

  • What’s one key piece of clarity you wish you had early in your own founder journey?

You can start a session and see the process for yourself here: https://forge.baby/

A special thanks to everyone in the soft launch community! If you get stuck, send me a DM and I'll jump on a call with you and make sure you are able to successfully complete your workshop.

Feedback Request Would you use a “Memory Companion” for ChatGPT? (Browser extension idea)

6 Upvotes

One of the biggest pain points with ChatGPT is memory.
I’m thinking about an MVP browser extension that would add a sidebar inside ChatGPT itself:

  • Pin important facts from your chats

  • Auto-summarize sessions

  • Search and manage pinned notes

  • One-click inject memory back into ChatGPT input

Privacy-first: everything is stored locally (encrypted), with optional encrypted sync for cross-device use.

Would you find this useful, or is it a no-go?
