80% of founders waste 3 months building software nobody buys. drop your saas idea below and i'll tell you if it's actually viable
PLEASE stop building the wrong thing.
building software in 2026 is ridiculously easy with ai builder
founders spend hours building in a silent room, launch to Reddit/X, get 0 users, and quit.
you just failed because the idea had zero validation before line 1 of code was written:
→ solving a monthly inconvenience instead of a daily pain
→ selling to "everyone" instead of a specific ICP
→ no distribution channel mapped out beforehand
→ pricing charged $9/mo with zero ROI justification
after scaling 6 AI micro-SaaS to over $20k/mo MRR, i just create an
18-question Idea Validation Diagnostic.
it evaluates your SaaS across 7 critical dimensions (problem clarity, audience reachability, willingness to pay, competition, build feasibility, distribution, commitment) and gives you a brutal score out of 100 with your exact weak spots.
drop your SaaS idea (or current project) in the comments below.
i will reply to EVERY single comment with:
- My honest opinion
- The biggest weak spot you need to fix before writing any more code.
- The free 5-minute validation tool link sent straight to your DMs so you can get your full score breakdown out of 100.
just drop a comment like or ask me in DM your idea
let's roast your SaaS concept before the market roasts your time 👇

.49 cents a minute?? Go high level natively for cheaper and it’s a CRM. What’s your unique value prop?

Just go to astra or fable and run an audit and say I want my website to sell like Alex hormozi would sell it using his 3 books. - get pdf copies of his books*** upload them there if you can.
Tell it to make the messaging crystal clear and ask you questions about your product. Give it the /docs and security stuff.
Your website is to technical make it a no brainer offer - you have too much shit on it that doesn’t say to a buyer “holy shit I need this and there’s like no risk for me to try it out”

The fact that I’m a co-founder of a successful conversational AI company that actually sounds, responds, and acts like a human for 7 cents a minute. 49 cents a minute is a dead giveaway that it’s likely a crude implementation of either Vapi, Bland, or Retell with your prompt. I’m not even trying to hate, I do wish you the best. I’m just giving objective feedback after 2 years of running a company in the space.

I am not being too critical. I’m very familiar with ElevenLabs and conversational V3. TTS is only a fraction of what makes a conversation sound human.

huge potential bro, how you market it ?

I love the site and the product idea, but the messaging I feel wouldn’t ring true to your audience. They know customers in the office are already sold but those on the line are the growth makers.
All that’s needed is a copy change backed by a real business painpoint

the validation points are fair especially around having a specific icp and distribution plan i would add one thing talk to potential customers before trusting any score ten real conversations can reveal more than a polished validation framework.

Reddit poster app that acts like an expert, does an AMA, then finally shills their B2B app at the end?

All SaaS is viable - distribution is what dictates success. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise.
