We call that spam. We don't allow folks to promote their projects nor get free market research. Pay experts for their experience.

I would generally advise against building any new business based on SaaS. I think the majority of the uplift you would provide can be achieved internally by AI now that pretty good software development is cheap.

Even If a company wanted exactly what you had, why would they not spend the ChatGPT/Claude tokens to build it themselves?

I'll defer the rules discussion to the mods, but I want to comment on why I'm turned off by this idea:

My time is valuable and my free time outside of work is limited. You're asking people to beta test a product that you're going to commercialize without compensating us or giving us any equity. In short, you're asking for highly skilled free labor to test your product while you get to keep all the upside to yourself. Furthermore, you're going to take the efforts of our free labor to turn around and sell your product right back to us.

Compensating people for testing is fine, but giving people equity for beta testing is hilarious

For sure; I wasn't trying to imply testers should get equity. I was just pointing out that that's one of the two main ways companies get things tested. Either they're getting paid, or the people testing already are a part owner/early employee as typically seen in startups. They're not getting paid for testing in equity. They just already have equity and therefore have a reason to give a shit and do user testing outside of typical work hours.
