I could use some honest feedback from people who know marketing better than I do. I built it as a personal project to solve my own problems. I needed something that wasn’t just a to-do list or another AI chatbot I had to prompt perfectly. It started as an AI life manager that handles my calendar, sends emails, reminds me to eat and drink, and tracks habits. Instead of prompting ChatGPT to do something in a specific way, it does it creatively and instantly. For example, instead of building a boring gym plan, it takes in all the details about me, logically thinks through my situation using a reasoning process I’ve refined that actually works better than the internal reasoning it has, and creates something actually personalized to how I live, not just templated advice, plus it gamifies it to make it more engaging. It worked so well for me that I felt like it can be published as a SAAS product. So I built it out properly and launched it. Here’s where I’m struggling: I started this as a personal tool, which means I didn’t validate the market before building (classic rookie mistake that everyone’s been pointing out to me). Now I’m trying to figure out the marketing side and I honestly have no idea who wants this or how to reach them. So I’m asking: Who should I actually be targeting? Based on what the product does, what specific type of person would genuinely want this versus just thinking “that’s cool” and moving on? How do you market something personal like this? It’s not a straightforward SaaS where I can just run ads about features. The value is in how it adapts to you specifically. How do you communicate that? Where do I find early users? I’ve posted on productivity subreddits and engaged on Twitter, but I’m getting minimal traction. Are there specific communities, channels, or strategies that work better for tools like this? This is my first product and I’m realizing that building something useful and marketing something useful are completely different skills. Any guidance would be really helpful for this and for future products I make. submitted by /u/Rane___
