The Startup Ideas Podcast · The blueprint to build a $340k/mo premium dating app · 16 Oct 2024 podcast

All right. Fair enough.

What's the discourse? The discourse is that it's probably supposed to be more popular because there's this commentary that there's a lot of men spending time on the internet.

Um, my idea, shout out to, I think it's Amanda Bradford who made the link.

That's it. One more idea. My God. Okay. All right. That was like 30, 30 minute idea. Okay. All right. I'll run through a couple quickly. Okay. So this is, since we're on the AI topic, this is like a really small idea. Okay. So I don't think we need to dive into this one that much, but do you know this app looks maxing that whole like looks maxing? That's not the name of the app.

I think it was like you max or something like that. That happened for a while.

Okay. So you definitely know it. Like, I'm like, there's probably a version you could do with AI. That's like, like Riz maxing or like charisma maxing, which is like,

The product would be that instead of like you taking a picture of yourself, it would be like the AI is listening to conversations that you have, which I know it's like we've been talking about that for like friend companionship apps and stuff like that. But this is more like as if it was like looking at your text, but it's actually listening to your conversation.

And then it'll like score you on all these different like dimensions of social competence, basically. And it'll... It'll say, are you being awkward? Were you being charismatic? You reacted this odd way. I haven't figured out what are all the different metrics. But basically, I feel like people want social feedback a lot, but they don't always get the honest feedback.

And I wouldn't say this is a durable product, to be honest. But I do think it's the type of product that could have... a moment around this like, you know, charisma or social skills, awareness rating, like trifecta, which I think does play well as far as like people sharing stuff like this.

Not, I mean, I think that's like a whole nother, it's not like, this is not in my opinion, serious enough to like merit a hardware product that goes along with it. I think it's more just like, Oh, it's like an app. Maybe you can like make it background listen, like for some certain conversations, obviously like all privacy disclosures, like,

that's not part of this ideation process, but I think it's just like, okay, let's say I was even having an interview or something, or I was like meeting somebody new for a date. I could be like, how did I perform on this date? Like, which obviously the date is not going to tell you how you performed. So I, I'm a little like, not sure if it's,

Again, the human improvement scale, I don't know how I would rate this idea, but I do feel like it could work if you made it the right way. So I think there are people who are interested in experiments that they think could work for short periods of time. So this would be one of those.

I think it's helpful like short term, but I guess my comment is like, I do think like social interaction is a thing that will longterm help you actually improve upon those things. So it's not like you can just constantly be getting a report card on every conversation you're having and then be like, Oh, I'm going to like look in the mirror and get better at this thing.

So maybe it's like good for some social awareness. I don't know if it's good for like actually putting that into action longterm.

People like report cards. They like astrology-esque things. They like personality test-oriented things. They kind of like IQ test-oriented things. I feel like there's probably some whole horizontal here that's related to all these... It's somewhere between a game and some tangible information.

Well, it's probably not like, I don't know. My answer would be just make the thing, which is not an answer that involves a lot of other like research and stuff like that or validation necessarily. But I also don't think it would be that hard to make. I mean, obviously you need to have like some ability to like.

build the thing but I don't know I think that most of it is just like building the interface that you actually want people to see so like most of it is thinking through what we're talking about which is like what is a report card going to look like what are like the five or six or ten dimensions on which I'm going to give feedback and then maybe it would be thinking about like what are the use cases so

Maybe you'd make it easier for someone to use this by saying, oh, this is for an interview. This is for a date. This is for a party. Give them use cases so they don't feel like this is not normal for them to use it for a particular situation.

And then I think you could easily then give examples of someone using it for each of those use cases and what that report card looked like and then create a bunch of content on the basis of all those use cases And obviously that requires a lot of iteration. But then, you know, put it on TikTok, put it on Reels, probably like however you can get it out there.

And if you can make these like compelling little vignettes, basically, I think that's probably how I would think about actually getting people to use it. And then obviously you probably want to make it a like low price, one time paid app if you want to make some money off of it.
