Original Summary

I’m building an AI shopping agent designed to reduce the work involved in buying things online. Users can tell it what they want, compare products, get recommendations, check out, and handle returns. The product is functional, but the hard part has been getting consistent usage. I’ve tried community posts, direct outreach and asking people I know, but traction is still limited. So I’m trying to work out whether the real issue is: positioning distribution weak urgency around the problem lack of differentiation or simply that consumer AI products are much harder to retain users on than they look I’m deliberately trying not to respond by just adding more features. The product currently focuses on helping people: find the right product get better value reduce research effort check out handle returns The next improvements are around stronger product ranking, review/quality verification, better ways to save money, and post-purchase support. For anyone who has built consumer SaaS or AI products: How did you figure out whether low traction meant “keep iterating” versus “the core proposition isn’t strong enough”? And what usually moved the needle most for you early on: product, positioning, or distribution?   submitted by   /u/Cool_Administration8 [link]   [comments]
