Like customized AI job searching, AI mock interviews, experience sharing, Gmail and calendar tracking. For me, I need to go indeed to find jobs, use simplify to apply it, interview with ChatGPT to practice, find the real interview questions on Reddit. And manage the job applications by myself to check the email everyday, and the amount of job I applied already hit 400 this month. I m tired.
While building an AI-powered interview platform, I initially found myself adding more and more AI features because they seemed useful individually.
Eventually, i had to think much more carefully about which features genuinely improve the user's experience vs which ones simply make the product look more impressive.
For other makers building AI products, how did you decide which AI features to keep, simplify, or remove?
We just shipped this in Basedash and my honest first reaction when we scoped the feature was no way, absolutely not. I've spent 6 years building tools that touch production data, and the whole time the rule was that humans click the buttons.
But we did it anyway, and the process of getting comfortable with it changed my mind about where the risk actually lives.
Hey guys, I really need some help here. I recently formatted my 10-year-old Acer laptop (Windows 10, mechanical HDD) and lost around 300GB of irreplaceable photos and videos.
I scanned it with Disk Drill and the files are all there, but I just can't afford the Pro upgrade right now. I know my data is still safe on the drive, but I'm feeling a bit lost on what to use instead. Could anyone recommend a genuinely free tool that can safely pull that much data off an old HDD? Thanks a lot!
Two years ago my hardware store struggled to attract search traffic for tools. We had hundreds of product pages. Most of them simply copied the manufacturer s short two sentence description.
Google treated those pages as content and placed larger competitors ahead of us. I stopped worrying about backlinks. Spent three months rewriting the top fifty product pages in my own words.
I added details about the materials the tool could cut its weight and common mistakes people make when using it. I answered the questions that our in store customers asked me every day.
Within sixty days organic traffic to those pages rose by more than forty percent. The pages began ranking for long tail search queries that I never even targeted on purpose.
Spent a whole month building a custom export tool because it was the #1 request on our feedback board.
Once it launched, barely 4% of the people who voted for it actually used it more than once. turns out they didn't really need the feature they just wanted to know the app had the option.
How do you test if users actually need a feature before wasting weeks building it?
