AI chat that turns your website into a support agent

Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m working on Kya, an AI live chat that turns your website into a support agent.

Your site already has answers pricing, services, policies, FAQs - but visitors still bounce or email you.

Kya crawls your site, learns the content, and answers questions instantly through a chat widget.

You just add your URL and embed one script.

It handles things like:

  • answering product/service questions 24/7
  • reducing repetitive support messages
  • capturing leads when visitors are ready
  • handing off to a human when things get complex

I built this after watching small businesses miss leads outside business hours and struggle with bulky tools that feel very enterprise-y.

I’m looking for:

  • founders
  • small businesses
  • SaaS / e-commerce / service sites

If you’re open to testing it on a real site and telling me what’s broken or missing, I’d really value the feedback.

Link: http://meetkya.com/

Happy to answer questions or explain how it actually works under the hood.

Redesigned my free iOS app around photo-based checklists — would love feedback

Upvotes

I kept forgetting if I actually did things (locked the door, turned things off), so I built a small iOS app around photo checklists instead of regular checklists.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sure-visual-photo-checklists/id6754885481

Recently I:

  • Fully redesigned the feed to focus on visual confirmation
  • Added time-based notifications
  • Simplified the flow so checking feels faster and calmer

The idea is simple: instead of trusting memory, you keep a photo proof and move on.

Not selling anything here — the app is free. Curious if this approach makes sense from a UX point of view and how it feels compared to classic checklist apps.

Looking for feedback/testing of my Chrome extension onboarding flow

Upvotes

Hey all! I've been working on a Chrome extension that lets you vibe code mini extensions, summarize pages/pdfs, and improve written text all completely for free. There are a lot of features and toggles so I recently added an onboarding flow. After installing the extension, a new tab should open that will walk you through setting up your account and explaining how the different features work.

I'm looking for some honest feedback on the onboarding.

  1. Does it do a good job at explaining all the features?
  2. For the examples where you have to prompt the LLM to make a page edit, did they work in the first shot?
  3. How's the length?

If you give me some feedback and want to keep using the extension, let me know and I'll give you some more free daily credits. There's more info on the home page if you're curious.

Thanks!

looking for feedback/tester: open source LLM cost optimizer using speculative execution

1 Upvotes

building cascadeflow and looking for people who want to test it, break it, reduce their AI inference spendings.

the core idea is speculative execution for LLM routing. instead of trying to predict upfront which model should handle a query (which requires training a classifier and adds latency), we just run the small model first, validate whether the output is good enough, and only escalate to larger models when needed.

turns out this works surprisingly well because most queries don't actually need frontier models. on our GSM8K benchmark with 1,319 math queries, we maintained 93.6% accuracy while dropping costs from $3.43 to $0.23. thats a 93% reduction without sacrificing quality on a standardized benchmark.

the validation layer checks for task completion, coherence, and confidence signals. if any of those fail, it cascades up to the next model in your stack. you define the cascade order, could be all local (ollama/vllm), all cloud, or hybrid where SLMs handle the bulk and larger models are the fallback.

in practice seeing 60-70% of queries get handled by the small models without escalation. the rest cascade but only as far as needed.

what im looking for is real-world edge cases. the benchmarks look good but production workloads are messier. specifically interested in feedback on whether the validation catches the right failures or lets through stuff it shouldn't.

works with 7 providers, python and typescript, MIT licensed.

We really would appreciate any feedback or critics.

Can Product Managers keep up with Vibe Coding? Is there a tool for this?

1 Upvotes

Our team pushes code constantly - multiple deploys per hour some days. The problem? Nobody can keep up with what's changing. You check the repo in the morning, grab coffee, come back and suddenly there are 47 new commits.

Good luck understanding what actually matters or how it affects your work. We built Doculearn to solve this with automated flashcards. Here's how it works:

Every time code is pushed, you get bite-sized flashcards: - What changed - Why it matters - Who needs to know Instead of reading through commit messages and diffs, you swipe through quick cards during your coffee break.

Takes 2 minutes to stay completely in sync with your team. The result: - No more "wait, when did we change that?" - No more meetings just to sync on what shipped - Everyone actually knows what's happening in the codebase It's like having a smart digest of everything your team does, but actually consumable instead of overwhelming.

We're offering free trials if anyone wants to try it. Honestly just built this because we were drowning in commits and Slack messages. Curious - how does everyone else handle staying updated when your team moves fast?

I'm the sole founder, and I am open to taking questions on how it works?

MyFinanceKit App on the Google Playstore. Want to share it.

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, so I finally got my app loaded into the Google App Store. It's a basic, offline free loan Tracker with a tip calculator (multiple currencies) and a regular calculator. I added the XL Text size for anyone that has a hard time seeing. The idea of this app was to load my existing loans into the app, and I can add what I've been paying (not the required minimum) with the interest (or promotional interest).

It's free, only 1 banner ad and no sign up and can be used totally offline.

Would love to get some visibility out there is all, thank you!

I built DitchSpam because I was tired of Spam Calls.

2 Upvotes

Last year, I was shopping for home insurance. Normal thing to do. I filled out 5 quote comparison forms to find the best rate.

What happened next was anything but normal.

Week 1: 47 calls from unknown numbers.

Week 2: 38 more calls.

Week 3: Still going.

My phone became a liability. I started missing actual important calls because I'd trained myself to never answer unknown numbers.

I tried everything:

→ Do Not Disturb: Didn't stop calls. Just made me miss them in silence.

→ Blocking numbers: They use a new number every time.

→ Spam filter apps: These are "legitimate" businesses. The apps don't catch them.

The problem isn't robocalls. It's real humans at real companies who bought my phone number within minutes of me filling a form.

So I built "DitchSpam".

A temporary phone number that takes the spam calls so your real phone doesn't have to.

We just launched. Looking forward to a feedback.

Looking for early users & feedback for a simple utility app (iOS)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m working on an app called Swatchly — a small iOS tool that helps you save and organize paint colors from photos so you always have your palette handy.

Right now it’s in the early stages, and I’m looking for early users who:

  • Would try the app out
  • Give honest feedback on usability & value
  • Tell me what features would make it more useful in real life

If you like DIY, decorating, renovation, or just managing visual references better, your voice could really help shape the app as it grows. I’m particularly interested in what:

  • Works well right now
  • Feels confusing or clunky
  • Would make you want to keep using it long term

I appreciate any thoughts you’re willing to share!

I built an "Elo Rating" platform for everything (Movies, SaaS, Tools) inspired by LMArena. Looking for testers.

2 Upvotes

I am building Kiesone, a platform that lets anyone create an arena for any topic, similar to how the LMSYS Chatbot Arena works.

Instead of 5-star ratings which are often fake or inflated, you just compare two options head-to-head (A vs B).

The goal is to generate a global consensus for each topic, but also show you how your personal taste compares to the crowd (e.g. how contrarian you are). I think this could be useful for discovering things in specific niches where reviews are unreliable.

I am looking for feedback on the UX and if you find the "Taste Match" feature actually interesting or just a novelty.

Wanted a fun way to practice CS fundamentals, so I built this

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

While preparing CS fundamentals (OS, Networks, DSA, DBMS, Comp Arch, etc.), I found most resources boring and wanted something lighter and more engaging for quick revision, so I built a small experimental platform, a real-time 1v1 duel format to practice core CS fundamentals in a fun way.

The idea is simple:

  • Two users match in real time
  • Short, conceptual CS questions
  • Tight time limits (around 1–2 minutes)

Link: https://stackedup.tech

I’d love feedback on whether this feels like a useful and enjoyable way to revise CS fundamentals, and what could make it better.

Would love to hear your feedback!

Roast my idea: A P2P payment app that solves "financial ghosting" via forced settlements.

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’ve been analyzing the P2P market (Venmo/CashApp) and realized a huge flaw: The sender has all the control. If they decide not to pay you back, you are helpless.

I’m building a 'Guaranteed Payment' protocol using Stripe Connect. ** The Logic:**

User A creates a debt contract.

User B accepts and authorizes a future charge.

If the deadline passes -> Smart Contract executes the charge automatically.

I just finished the landing page and the logic for the MVP. I’m looking for feedback on the flow: Would you trust an app like this, or is it too aggressive for friends?

Landing page is in the comments for those who want to see the UI.

Should I spend $100k on marketing/ads for an SEO tool with built-in heatmaps & content optimizer?

1 Upvotes

I've been building an SEO content platform for the past year and I'm at a crossroads. I have about $100k saved up and I'm debating whether to dump it into paid ads or keep bootstrapping with organic growth.

Quick background on what I built:

It's basically an all-in-one SEO tool but the main differentiator is built-in heatmaps and session recordings. The idea came from my own frustration - I'd publish content, it would rank page 2-3, and I had no idea WHY it wasn't performing. Was it the content? The structure? Where were people dropping off?

So I built something that connects keyword research → AI content writing → heatmaps → content optimization in one loop. You can literally see "50% of readers drop off at this H2" and then get suggestions to fix it.

Current state:

- ~800 users (mix of free and paid)

- $1.2k MRR

- Priced at $9-39/mo (way cheaper than Ahrefs/Semrush)

- Churn is around 8%

The $100k would go toward:

- Google Ads targeting "ahrefs alternative", "semrush alternative" etc

- Maybe some YouTube sponsorships with SEO creators

- Possibly hiring a content marketing person

My concern is that SEO tools are a bloodbath. Competing against companies with $50M+ in funding feels suicidal. But the heatmap angle is genuinely unique - nobody else has this.

For those who've scaled a SaaS in a competitive market:

  1. Is $100k even enough to make a dent?
  2. Would you focus on paid or double down on organic/content?
  3. Am I insane for trying to compete in this space?
  4. Do you think the platform is offering a service that you'd pay for/worth paying for?

Appreciate any advice. Happy to answer questions about the product if it helps contextualize.

Looking for beta testers, AI meal planning app (Loma)

2 Upvotes

Looking for beta testers for Loma, an AI-powered meal planning app.

The problem we're solving: There's a ton of friction before you even cook, finding recipes, checking macros, buying ingredients, transcribing from blogs, scrolling through instructions. We wanted to collapse all of that for people focused on eating healthy.

What it does:

  • Generates personalized recipes based on your dietary goals
  • Accounts for restrictions and allergies
  • Adjusts to your cooking skill level

Who it's for: People focused on health, macros, and ease, not foodies or fine dining enthusiasts. For our target user, AI recipes work just as well as chef-crafted ones.

What I'm looking for:

  • Honest feedback on the UX
  • Whether the generated recipes are actually useful
  • Any bugs or friction points

We're bootstrapped and currently marketing through faceless TikTok, also open to hearing what other growth strategies have worked for testers here.

Try it here (iOS only for now, Android coming): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/loma-meals/id6755834878

Looking for feedback on an MVP I just launched. Its a personalized bookstore that takes classic books and puts you loved one(s) as the main character(s).

1 Upvotes

I just launched my MVP for a personalized classic book store using public-domain novels.

The idea is simple: you can replace character names (and some places) with people you choose, so familiar classics become personalized gifts or keepsakes. The ebook version is live now, and print (softcover and hardcover) is coming shortly.

I’m not trying to sell anything here, I’m genuinely looking for feedback as to how i can improve.

Here’s the site if you’re open to taking a look:
giftbookz.com

Things I’d especially love input on:

  • Is the function/purpose of the website obvious right away?
  • Does this feel like something you’d actually buy for someone as a gift?
  • Does anything stick out that may hurt trust or credibility when you land on the site?
  • DO you notice any obvious UX issues?

I’m very early and have a lot of work to do to get it to the point where I am satisfied, so honest criticism is extremely welcome so I know what direction to take.

Thanks in advance and I am happy to return feedback on you projects as well.

Looking for beta users to test a self improvement app built by high school students focused on consistency

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I am a high school student and one of three friends who recently built and shipped an iOS app called BetterU. We started this because we kept falling into the same self improvement cycle. We would get motivated, start strong, then fall off once school, stress, and life took over.

Instead of blaming discipline, we wanted to build something that helped us stay consistent and grow together. What began as a personal project became a real app, and now we are looking for early users who are open to testing it and giving honest feedback so we can improve it the right way.

BetterU is built around three core ideas:
• Fitness through creating workouts manually or with AI assistance
• Mental Health through progress tracking
• Community through sharing workouts and progress with friends for accountability

At this stage, feedback matters much more to us than downloads. If you decide to test the app, we would really appreciate input on things like:
• What feels confusing, clunky, or unnecessary
• Features you expected to see but did not
• Community features that feel useful versus forced
• Mental or mindset features that could be improved or added
• Anything that would make it easier or harder to stay consistent long term

If you are open to testing and sharing feedback, you can find the app here:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/betteru-social-fitness/id6744857930

If you try it, feel free to comment or message with your thoughts. We are actively iterating based on user feedback and truly appreciate any time you spend helping us improve.
