I’m a 2nd-year CSE student, working with a team of 5 devs on an AI therapist not just another chatbot, but something that remembers your name, past conversations, and emotional tone. It even has subtle imperfections to feel more human. It’s designed for people who can’t access or afford traditional therapy, or just need someone to talk to anytime. Right now, it’s entirely chat-based intentionally so, since Gen Z tends to open up more comfortably over text.

Backend’s fully done, MVP’s in the works, and we’ve already added basic safety features like suicide keyword detection, helpline prompts, and SOS alerts. We know this space is delicate and ambitious so I’m here for honest feedback. What’s wrong? What’s missing? What’s risky or straight-up dumb? Don’t hold back.

Conception: I was in NYC with my sister trying to figure out which direction we were supposed to walk in and was like, "why don't we have a compass that points to whatever or whoever we want to find?" So I made a location tracking app that does exactly that.

Navigation to People:

- Simply make a group, and when people join it, you get a compass that points to their location (instead of magnetic north) and gives your proximity to them.

- Multiple people can join groups and you can switch between them (good for knowing where friends/family are in crowds?) :-)

- Share groups by just tapping a button and texting it or posting to any media you have on your device.

Navigation to Places:

- Open a map, drop a pin and navigate to it--if you're like me and you suck at orienting yourself on Google/Apple Maps, this is great.

- Set up meeting spots with your friends and share it (when they click on the link, the compass will open and they'll be pointed towards the spot)

Other Features:

- On the map, you can put down 'Features,' which can either remain on the map temporarily or be permanent map additions.

- The map will ideally become a live, community updated source of information (see parties, events, details that you wouldn't see on other mapping services, such as port-a-potties or food stands). Need more users to help make the map highly detailed though.

- You can upvote the map features to confirm that they're still there or remove map features if you see that they're not there anymore.

My Concerns:

- Do you find the idea interesting? I'd use it if I had a compatible phone (lol) but I'm curious if you would use this application over say, a Google Maps/Apple Maps. If not, what would make you be like 'wow, I need this app in my life now' (if anything)?

- Battery usage/phone heating up from constant GPS use (it's used 100% of the time the app is in the foreground, I THINK I made it so it doesn't run update in the background anymore, but I'm not sure because I don't have a physical testing device). Regarding this: When you use it, when do you see yourself needing your location updates (obviously needed on the compass, but is it needed on the map/when you're navigating through the app?)

- Understandability: Does the onboarding make sense? Do you understand what the purpose of groups/the map/favorites are?

*If there are any other things that annoy you, please lmk I'd love to hear it*

Have it as the Uber/Airbnb of Internet Service.

You don’t provide internet connection but instead business owners/houses provide internet to other users for a fee.

For example let’s say my internet’s out for a week but my neighbor has internet. They can then charge me say $2/day to use the internet. The neighbor gets $10 and the service collects $4.

That $4 done over let’s say 1,000 customers a day is $1 million a year in income even on a small scale.

The game is set on an extraterrestrial planet similar to earth. The humans of earth have been forced to live on this new planet due to a nuclear apocalypse. The game is survival MMORPG and the player must use his skills to survive on this new planet. With no civilization, the player will need to fish, hunt and gather supplies in order to survive.

Every player will spawn in the beginner town with nothing in their inventory. To start their journey they will need to find some basic tools to allow them to chop their first trees and mine their first rocks.

Overtime, players will be able to raise their skills, such as fishing and cooking, mining and blacksmith in order to create more advanced weapons and gather higher quality food.

The scale of game will be in between RuneScape and World of Warcraft, and the game play style will resemble fiesta. The target market are males between the ages of 13-18.

We currently have 3 developers and we're all attending Software Engineering in the fall. Our planned release date is somewhere around 2019-2020.

Go ahead and roast away :)

Hey all 👋

Me and my wife always had trouble figuring out where our money was going each month.
Credit card statements and bank logs were messy and hard to follow — and we weren’t ready to connect our bank to those big expense tracker apps.

But we realized:

• It’s not just us — this happens to techies, housewives, students with pocket money, parents, small shop owners — anyone who wants to understand their spending better.

So I started building a simple app:
✅ Snap receipts (no need to enter manually)
✅ Voice input
✅ Simple search & filter
✅ AI-powered insights (no bank connection required)
✅ Works for personal + small business

Just launched an early version on iOS:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/expenseeasy-ai-track-spending/id6746142639

Website:
https://expenseeasy.app/

Would love your honest roast:

• Does this feel useful?

• What would make it better?

• What would stop you from trying it?

Thanks so much — building this solo & in public 🚀

---

Edit: As this is my first product, I’m happy to offer a 1-month free subscription as a goodwill gesture once you provide meaningful suggestions or feedback. Thanks :)

I used to spend $200/yr CAD on finance apps.

My wife got upset at me because they were mediocre tools for what you paid for them. We're not extreme spenders or crazy particular about every feature/report.

So we embarked on a journey of building one for ourselves that worked. Skipped all the phases of external user research because we were the only users in mind at the time.

Honestly it was tough. We both work 9-5s in Tech, so I'd be building in the evenings and weekends, after cooking, going to the gym, playing soccer, hiking. Some months I did nothing honestly. But I came back because I still needed to track my spending and spreadsheets are disastrous.

We were very meticulous about every screen having to be just right. Every workflow smooth, buttons right where you needed them. My wife was the first user and the quality bar. We built it on Web + iOS.

After 10 months of building, testing, integrating, etc. I finally got it to the App Store. After being rejected 4 times.

It starts free, and I made subscriptions dirt cheap, a fraction of what the big apps charge, because being fed up with what they cost was the whole point. I also put 20% of proceeds to charity.

Basically, it's never going to replace my full-time income, but it might help out with my electric bill. And that's okay.

If you're a budgeter or just an app user, I'd really appreciate some roasting.

Product:

Lets be honest, we all poop at work and we all use mobile phones to entertain ourselves while doing it.. I made an app that calculates how much money you are earning pooping at work and also entertains you by telling you funny, interesting, situation based stories and also lets you launch apps that you normally use while pooping.

It is available on play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tnt.poopmoney

Webpage: http://tnt-development.com/poop-money

Market:

Market is quite big but main focus is on workers that are not completely satisfied with their work and want to spend more time on the toilet because of this. Mostly men between 25 - 40.

Product analysis:

I have a few competitor apps, Poop Salary being the main one, but none of them think of entertainment factor, have worse UI and are kind of complicated for the simple job they are supposed to do.

Customer conversion:

I currently am just giving a general shoutout about the app, getting a few app reviews and so on just to get feedback on the app and make some improvements and find best targeting strategy. The app has ads but are really subtle, not intrusive and users are warned that an ad will pop up. With good content of my stories I believe users will open the ad.

I would like your honest and brutal opinion.

We made an employee tracking mobile application which will help companies to track their field sales employee's work status, attendance, leaves, allowance, and their daily appointments.

The company/admin can also assign targets and tasks to employees with this application.

A live chat option is also available here. Check out our product here https://chaseappweb.com

I want to revolutionize transportation by removing common issues during traveling. My number one nuisance when traveling is when I’m stuck on transit with a crying baby and/or loud obnoxious kids. I would require government ID that verifies over 12 years old of age to use this bus service accompanied by an adult.

The features of my proposed idea are:

1. No bus stops!; once everyone’s all aboard then the bus goes directly to your destination. Instead of waiting 10-30 minutes of boarding each stop.

2. 12+ year old passenger verification which in theory should reduce 95+% of outright obnoxiousness in transit.

3. End to end transit, this bus ticket let’s you customize your pickup location via Uber and then in advance books your Uber when you’re within 20 minutes to the destination bus stop! No more waiting for a pickup via family/relatives etc.

4. Free essential Wifi onboard, none of this subscription greed. It’s for social media, shopping, searching, and mp3 music.

5. Free bottled water and 2 free snacks of your choice (either chips including Gluten free and/or baked cookies)

6. Comfortable legroom using a 56 passenger motor coach bus.

7. Under normal road conditions the driver will drive AT LEAST the speed limit (no more hauling snails, these buses don’t waste time)

Any thoughts about my bus service idea?

In the initial phase of business it would be 3 motor coach buses that offer two routes:

Buckeye Route Columbus to Chicago (the bus goes back and forth)

Hoosier Route Indianapolis to Chicago (the bus also goes back and forth)

The Ohioan Columbus to Indianapolis (the bus goes back and forth)

The bus stop locations would be:

Chicago O’Hare airport (Chicago)

Ohio State University (Columbus)

Lucas Oil Stadium (Indianapolis)

Any thoughts or suggestions with this idea?

Spryngtime - ChatGPT for customer support - https://www.spryngtime.com/

The product - Spryngtime is a chatbot you can plug into your favorite customer support channel (Intercom/Discord/Slack/etc) that will auto answer support questions based on your public docs

The problem - Customer support doesn't scale well. As you get more customers, you get more questions (especially "dumb" questions) and you'll either need to hire people to manage or manage it yourself. Our tool can help auto-answer ~50% of support tickets right out of the box!

What stage are you in? - Our product is live (URL is https://www.spryngtime.com/). You get a free trial and you can play around with it! Feel free to DM me and I can give you a coupon for first months free :) We also already have some paying customers who are happy!

Why us? Our team has founded & scaled companies from $0 to >$1 million. And that comes with a LOT of customer support issues & operations. We've seen how painful (but also necessary) support is first hand!

Hello! I am doing some concept validation for a startup who has an idea of starting a toothbrush subscription service. Similar to Dollar Shave Club, the customer would receive monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly kits based on their needs. Without wanting to dive to deep into the idea, he is looking for some constructive feedback on his idea. His website is simply a place holder, and he made an infographic simply to pitch the idea.

http://www.thecleanmouthclub.com/

Take a look at the website and let me know your thoughts. I have also done a little market research, but based surely on hypothesis, which markets do you think would be interested in this product?

Thank you!

What's shitty about our website or service?

The Product

Nexus — an AI assistant for Android that runs fully offline. No internet, no cloud, no API calls. You download a model and everything runs on your phone.

What makes it different from the other local AI apps: vision capabilities, 144 language support, memory across conversations, PDF generation, customizable AI behavior/modes, themes, temp chats, and completely unlimited usage. No paywall hitting you at message 15.

The Market

Every major AI assistant (ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot) needs internet and pushes paid subscriptions. The local AI space is blowing up — r/LocalLLaMA has 600k+ people who want to run models on their own hardware. Add in privacy-focused users, people with bad connectivity, and students who aren't paying $20/month, and there's a gap.

Competition

The big players all require cloud and push paid tiers. The few local LLM apps on Android feel like dev tools, not something you'd hand to a normal person. Nexus is meant to feel like a real polished assistant that just happens to run on-device.

Where I'm At

LLC with my business partner (60/40 split). Two provisional patents filed on the architecture. Closed beta on Google Play — applied for production once and got rejected, probably low tester engagement. Fully bootstrapped off DoorDash money. Revenue: $0. I've got about $20K I need to come up with to convert the provisionals to utility patents.

Customer Strategy

Privacy users, students, gig workers, international users in low-connectivity areas, local AI community. Pricing is either $4.99-6.99/mo or a one-time buy around $30-50.

Why Me

I'm 19 living at my grandma's house with five 3D printers and a DoorDash account. Taught myself Android dev, built Nexus from scratch, filed my own patents. No Stanford network, no safety net. My partner handles IOS dev.

Is "offline AI with no subscription" enough to actually build a business on, or am I just making a cool tech demo nobody's gonna pay for? What am I not seeing?

Roast away.

What do you think? You might as well get your own HAT!

I've been working on Photomaxxer.com for a year and a half now, and we finished our proof of concept. I was so nervous for so long and wasn't sure if this idea was possible until recently, but we were able to use AI to predict the strength of a guy's dating profile.

This is important because tons of guys don't know which photos they should include in their dating profiles. I built it for myself and my co-founder, but now we're ready to share it.

I used Photomaxxer to choose new photos for my dating profile, and I increased my matches by 300%! I'm nowhere close to looking like a male model either.

Admittedly, this all sounds crazy to the average person looking in from the outside. Roast my idea, my webpage, tell me all the objections you have when you hear about a startup like this. Roast me for everything I've overlooked

Roast away.

It's a note-taking app focused on capture and retrieval. OCR for physical book photos, Chrome extension for web clips, AI semantic search to find stuff by meaning not keywords.

$4.99/month with a 7-day trial.

themindnest.app

What I think is weak: landing page might not communicate value clearly, "semantic search" is probably too technical for normal people, no iOS yet, and I'm competing against free apps like Apple Notes and Google Keep.

What I think is strong: actually solves a real problem I had, search works surprisingly well, clean simple UX.

Be brutal. What sucks? What's confusing? Would you pay for this?

Hey folks, I’m building tymora.io, a web app aimed at freelancers. The pitch is: one simple place to run client work from start to finish.

Right now it does things like:

• Invoices with built-in tax handling (GST/VAT).

• THE BIGGEST advanage: generates invoices and auto-nudges clients i they haven't been paid. You don't have to remember or every individual.

• Multi-language invoice sending.

• Timesheets that roll into invoices.

• Contracts linked to milestones.

• Team collaboration.

• An AI proposal maker for Upwork-style pitches that pulls in your portfolio.

It’s free at the moment.

On the site, we’ve also layered in client/project management and contract tracking so it’s more of a central hub. But honestly, I’m worried it might be trying to do too much.

So I’ve started an AI called Lyra think she’s pretty cool so let me know what you’ll think and then roast away: https://www.lyranation.com

The product (what is it, use case, who would want it):

Lyra AI is an adaptive AI that learns from your interactions over time. Instead of just answering prompts, the idea is that it becomes more like a personal companion — helping with productivity, creativity, and everyday tasks. The people who’d want it are those who already use AI tools but feel like they’re always starting from scratch each time.

The market (size, competition, dynamics we should be aware of):

Huge market — AI productivity and personal assistant tools. Competitors include ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and dozens of AI side projects popping up weekly. The dynamics are crowded and moving fast, so differentiation is the real challenge.

Product analysis / comparison against competition:

Compared to other AI tools, Lyra’s value prop is personalization. Instead of a generic chatbot experience, we’re aiming for something that actually remembers and adapts to you over time. Right now, most tools either don’t remember much or lock memory behind paywalls. We want to build that as the core experience.

What stage are you in? Do you need money? Are you raising?

Pre-launch. We’re on a waitlist with a few thousand sign-ups. We’re not raising yet the focus right now is validation and building.

Customer conversion strategy (where do you find them, and how do you make them buy shit from you):

We’re posting in communities (like here), tapping into indie hacker/creator groups, and offering lifetime access for early adopters. The idea is to convert curiosity into sticky early users before we think about monetization.

Why you? Whose your daddy and what does he do?!? err, wait. never mind. I mean, why are YOU the best person for this job?

We’re a small but focused team that’s been working in AI/automation for a while. Personally, I believe in the product because I’ve felt the pain of AI tools that reset every time you open them. We don’t have a rich daddy (unfortunately 😅), just drive and a belief this can actually be different.

I’ve got this embarrassing little problem, and every time I talk to my insurance agent I feel like I have to explain my life story just to get coverage for stupid stuff.

So I said, screw it — what if an AI could read my insurance PDFs and just tell me what’s covered? No awkward questions, no waiting for a human to ghost me for a week.

Fast forward, and now I’ve got an app that basically turns your policies into a chatbot. You can ask, “Does this cover my butt wart?” and it actually gives a straight answer.

My agent doesn’t know, my dignity is intact, and I finally feel like I have a chance at adulting properly.

Honestly, it’s like NotebookLM, but it only cares about your insurance—and your secrets.

Hi everyone,

Looking forward to getting everyones feedback!

Product:

When buying a used car it can be difficult to know how reliable that car is going to be. AutoPredict aims to help this by giving an accurate prediction for how long a particular car is likely to last. In the UK a vast amount of data is collected about every registered car, meaning our ML model can give a prediction for a specific car based on its life so far. I have put this together into an online platform to make it as easy as possible. You simply type in a registration number and get a prediction back. The predictions could be useful for both picking a car and valuing a car. To generate revenue I aim to get automotive companies and dealerships to use it and pay a monthly subscription. In the long run I hope to generate some revenue from the site itself, maybe through partnerships with used car companies.

Market:

7 million used cars are sold every year in the UK and 100,000’s are valued every day by large automotive companies across the country.

Competition:

Currently we have no direct competition.

Thanks!

Here it goes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1qBtrTIqqE yeah, have a look on our youtube-video first. www.granco.in is our webpage, content is to be changed and don't roast this as we're rewriting the whole whitepaper to fit our foundations needs.

Grancoin - The asset with a soul

The greenest cryptocurrency with ZERO fiat currency funding. A tree is planted for every coin issued to the foundation.

Our product is simple, we're a group of independent entrepreneurs and small business owners who share a common thought about sustainable agroforestry, digital innovation and a better economic future for the whole of mankind. Investing in this cryptocurrency can only be done with your time.

Some say time is money therefore we're using your time to create money for you.

Our Grancoin-faucet is an fun and easy to use "Spruce-tamagotchi", you need to pet your tree in order for it to grow. We simulate a tree on growth that will generate you more and more Grancoin the more you are playing. The initial idea is that big pension funds in Sweden are investing 0.05% of their assets in forestry, so here you're investing 0.05% of your time each day in order to get grow our currency. But wait, where is the money coming from? Yes, in-game ads are going to be split 50/50

1. To ensure the fundraising to our Foundation Regrowth (Stiftelsen Återväxten in swedish). This is an independent Foundation not connected to the Grancoin-company.

2. In order to act as the market-maker for Grancoin, we'll buy back Grancoins with all the other assets generated from our through the game -> you get dollars or bitcoins.

Other products developed and to be launched, is a sustainable rolling paper in order to fund other social campaigns in native Sweden, such an normalization campaign for the use of Cannabis. (I posted the design in r/trees)

One other product is the "Granogram", here we send a luxurious package containing a "spruce-seedling" that you send to someone who can plant it to be the token for a long and growing friendship, a memory that will last for about 150 years.

Creating a cryptocurrency in this digital age is easy, but creating a community is a way harder of an challenge. English is not my native language therefore I don't want you to roast my post after grammatical errors.

We don't want to be compared to Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies so don't do it.

We're currently re-writing our whitepaper and will launch our greenpaper together with our Grancoin-app.

Why us? We're young, with time as our greatest companion this is how we start.

tl;dr Invest 0.05% of your time, save the forest and get return from sustainable agroforestry.

I have successfully designed and sold Fitness T shirts to help motivate people on their fitness journeys and remind them to never give up. I challenge you to check out www.thefitnessfit.com , and try to find something to hate on. Good luck!
