Original Summary

Hi everyone! I'm a .NET developer exploring ideas for a small SaaS product, and I'd like to validate a problem before spending time building it. The idea I'm considering building a simple AI-powered document chat tool using RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). The concept is straightforward: Users upload PDFs and ask questions about their contents through an AI chat interface. The AI answers based on the uploaded documents and provides references to the relevant pages or sections. Businesses can optionally integrate a small chat widget into their existing websites so their customers or employees can ask questions about approved documents. Users can manage their documents and chat through a web dashboard. For example, a business might use it to answer questions about product manuals, policies, technical documentation, training materials, or other documents relevant to its industry. I'm not limiting this to any particular industry. I'd like to discover where this would solve a genuine problem. I'd appreciate your feedback: Which industry or type of business would benefit most from this product? What specific problem could it solve for that industry? Are businesses or individuals already using similar tools? What is missing from the existing solutions? Would you prefer uploading documents to a separate platform, or embedding a chat widget directly into your own website? Would this be valuable enough to pay for? If yes, what pricing model would make sense? I'm looking for honest feedback, including reasons why this might not be a viable product. I haven't committed to building it yet. My goal is to identify a specific use case where people have a genuine need, existing solutions fall short, and customers would be willing to pay. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!   submitted by   /u/Electronic-Ant328 [link]   [comments]
