Congrats on the launch
I’m a business owner evaluating Noodle Seed for integration.
I’d love to understand your technical approach:
when onboarding a customer, do you deploy an OpenAI-compatible application stack per client, or is Noodle Seed primarily a managed abstraction layer (models, workflows, tooling) that clients connect to via API?
In short—what parts of the stack are customer-owned vs. Noodle Seed–owned?

I really liked the idea and the app! Only a few apps give me the urge to try them out immediately, and I went ahead and tried yours right away. I like the way it’s set up—the product journey and the step-by-step flow make it easy even for non-technical users to get started quickly.
I’d like to share some feedback. I really like how you support file uploads for the knowledge base. Would it be possible to support file uploads in other sections as well, such as generating company data, FAQs, and other information? This would be extremely helpful for setting up apps much faster.
Also, when I clicked on Generate with AI, I encountered the following error:
```
Failed to parse JSON from text response: Unexpected token 'I', "I'll help "... is not valid JSON
```
If you could get this fixed, that would be really nice. Once again, congrats @fahd_rafi on the app launch, and thanks for building such a great app!

@jefreesujit Thanks for catching the bug. This happens with a small subset of websites where our system runs into some issues while retrieving data but we're on it. The fix should be live soon 😉
@saad_zafar Great! Happy to help :)

@jefreesujit @saad_zafar
Thanks Jefree. This issue, does it happen with a particular file or just generating from your website?
If you don't mind what is your website so we can check what issue takes place?
Hey @fahd_rafi, I think its the website. I tried couple of websites, didn't work for either of those

Noodle Seed is not a custom GPT. We provide a rich branded experience and we build it in a way that you build once and deploy across ChatGPT, web and mobile apps and in the future enable it for Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and other platforms that enable app experiences and marketplaces in the future.
If you are a large business where it makes sense to make the investment in custom building, that is perfectly okay. But we have pre-built tools that a user can simply enable and use rather than custom building or hiring agencies etc.

@curiouskitty Adding to what Fahd and Asad shared - there's a third problem that's easy to overlook because it's completely invisible when things work correctly:
3. The "invisible plumbing" - MCP isn't just another API
Custom GPTs use simple API calls. But the ChatGPT App Store uses something called MCP (Model Context Protocol) - a completely different way for AI to talk to your business. Think of it like the difference between sending emails (API) vs having a live phone line (MCP).
When you hire an agency or build yourself, they typically discover this complexity after starting:
- Your widgets need a specific format ChatGPT understands (not regular HTML)
- Every customer interaction needs real-time data isolation (your customers can't see each other's data)
- The protocol requires specific handshakes and response formats
We've written 10,000+ lines of code that handles this plumbing. The "minutes to publish" part is possible because that code already exists and is battle-tested.
To quantify the advantage:
- Agency timeline: 4-8 weeks to understand MCP + build + test + iterate
- Our timeline: Configure your business info → publish → live in ChatGPT
The honest answer to "why not build it yourself" is: you absolutely can if you have the dev resources and MCP expertise. But most businesses would rather spend those 4-8 weeks (and $15-40K) actually running their business.

@curiouskitty apart from existing pain points another thing we anticipated that would become a huge problem as time progresses is the messaging and businesses information that surfaces in AI conversation. Businesses usually overlook this since this problem is not that apparent, but a quick search on multiple LLM platforms about a particular business yields varied information which results in inconsistent messaging.
We developed the knowledge tool which gives users a lot more control on what and how their businesses information, messaging and branding appears to their customers on ChatGPT. On top of that we also added in a tracking layer to help them understand how their customers are interacting with that information, what gaps need filling and what bit needs to be optimised. Information is king and we believe that businesses should have a say in how that information is put across the world, no matter the channel.

Congrats on the launch!
Btw, where does the Noodle Seed name comes from anyway? ;)

@miloszdun
When starting the company, I didn't really have a good name in my mind. So I started thinking about the qualities that a name should have instead of the name itself. Then, I gave those qualities to an AI agent to give me suggestions of names with those qualities.
1. It should be extremely easy to spell and easy to remember so that if I tell someone "Noodle Seed," most people will get the spelling right, and it is so weird that they are likely to also remember it.
2. A top level .com domain name being available. I saw all of these startups and companies with .ai and other domain names but for some reason I wanted to keep it classic.
3. Last but not least, I wanted it to be a clean slate in people's minds. So when I tell someone Noodle Seed, they have no idea what it could be. If I name a company Neural Networks, Limited or something, it has a lot of prebuilt connotation of what kinds of things this company can possibly do. And I really wanted it to be a clean slate. It also allows us to really build a brand based on exactly what we do rather than trying to latch on to any existing biases that people have about certain names.
With this criteria, I started to iterate with ChatGPT. The name Noodle Seed came up early, but it didn't strike me at first. However, when I started looking at the list again and again, it grew on me, and I decided it was an interesting name. Time will tell if this was a good way to go :)
@fahd_rafi Congrats on the Product Hunt launch! I liked how you explained feature. If you ever want UX feedback, happy to share.
Noodle Seed
@smart_b_vikky Thanks for the kind words! We're always open to UX feedback — if you have specific thoughts, feel free to share them here in the comments. We actively read and engage with the community. And if there's something more detailed you'd like to discuss, we're open to hopping on a call too. Looking forward to hearing what you think! 🙏
@fahd_rafi Thanks for the openness! 🙌
From a UX perspective, I really like the direction especially the guided setup flow and the “See your app live in ChatGPT” preview. That’s a strong confidence builder.
One small improvement opportunity I noticed:
In the guided setup, first-time users might benefit from light progressive cues (tooltips or step microcopy) explaining what’s required and what they unlock after each step. It could reduce hesitation and speed up completion.
On the landing page, the value proposition is compelling, but simplifying some sections and increasing contrast around the main CTA could improve scanability on mobile, especially in the revenue potential area.
Overall, great work the revenue visualization + preview experience really stand out. Happy to share more detailed UX notes if useful 👍

It's not only about recommendation or even showing up as a reference. What we are doing is far deeper so that any business can actually start interacting with an end user with a user interface and start collecting information and providing services right inside ChatGPT. So while recommendation is a GEO problem, what we are doing is a far more embedded experience than recommendations.
This is more like iOS and Android apps than SEO.
Bridging the gap between a conversational interface and actual "lead capture" is usually where generic GPT wrappers fail. Does the platform allow for structured data collection (like booking forms or qualification steps) that pipes directly into a CRM, or is it primarily analyzing text logs for intent?

This is brilliant! I can't wait to build this out. I'm getting an error that your app is not approved when I try to connect it to Shopify, though.
Noodle Seed
Hey@paulgeller, we're working with Shopify to resolve the issue. We had such a large influx of users today and we want to make sure all the compliance stuff is squared away. We'll be back with an update very soon 😃
Noodle Seed
Thanks so much! 🙌
Let's connect over email and we'll get you sorted. Drop me a line at asad@noodleseed.com and we'll take a look together.
Noodle Seed
@paulgeller thank you so much! We'll update and sort this out for you ASAP.
