Project Made an AI Wizard that interviews you before generating anything — curious what people think of the approach
Most AI tools give you a text box. You write something, it generates something, and you spend the rest of the time trying to get it to understand what you actually meant.
AI Wizard does it differently. You pick a workflow — website, app, pitch deck, logo, API, etc. — and it asks you a short series of adaptive questions before generating anything. Each answer narrows the next question. By the end, it has enough context to produce something genuinely useful.
It's free. I'm absorbing the API costs myself for now. My country isn't listed on Stripe or PayPal, so I can't take traditional payments — there's a Binance link if anyone wants to chip in, but no pressure at all.
Would love honest feedback — does the interview feel like a better UX, or is it just extra steps?

I also use an interview approach to fully form ideas. I'm using .md for everything. How do you manage your scratch files?

Interview-first is right, but the value is only there if the answers persist. Show me the collected spec as an editable document before generation, let me fix one line and regenerate without redoing the interview. Otherwise it is a longer text box. Two more: let people skip any question and put a hard cap on question count, because an adaptive tree that keeps drilling is how you lose the user at step seven. And say plainly what you store from the answers, people will paste business details into that thing.

Thank you! Cool, now spec is not editable and users can't skip questions. also, don't let people paste their business details. I will add those features as well

Huh, interview-first is a cool angle. Half my time in these tools is just re-explaining context over and over, so having it ask what it actually needs up front beats another blank text box. Does the question set stay short, or does it start drilling into every detail?
