Since then we\u2019ve been constantly improving the product and grown to over 2,400 founders using the platform and 70 active paying customers.<p>- If you\u2019re a founder who\u2019s wasted time building products no one wants, then Buildpad might be for you.<p>Buildpad is an AI-guided product building platform that helps founders build products people actually want. Buildpad guides you step-by-step through phases, taking you from idea to launching your product and getting your first customers. Along your journey, you&#x27;ll also get access to special tools such as problem brainstorming, Reddit validation, user persona creation, and more.<p>Some features include:\nA proven 10-phase framework: organize the building of your product by using multiple chats, from ideation to building your MVP and getting your first customers, with different goals in each one.<p>Memory: our AI learns about your project as you build, keeps the context between chats, and provides advice based on it.<p>Problem brainstorm: if you don\u2019t have a product idea yet you can use our brainstorming AI to help you explore different problems to solve in industries you\u2019re interested in.<p>Reddit validation: search through millions of Reddit discussions to determine if there&#x27;s demand for your business idea. AI will help you analyze all the data gathered and give you the conclusions from it.<p>User persona: Get to know exactly who your users are and where you can find them by generating a user persona. Marketing is easier when you have a clear picture of who you\u2019re targeting.<p>- We want you to experience how much easier everything becomes\u2014from marketing to gathering feedback and getting your first customers\u2014when you\u2019re building a product that people actually want.<p>Why don\u2019t I just use ChatGPT?<p>ChatGPT responds to what you ask, but it doesn&#x27;t guide you through the crucial phases of building a business. It&#x27;s reactive, not proactive. So unless you always know what to do next, making progress with ChatGPT is tough.<p>We hope Buildpad can help some of you on your journey to building successful products!<p>Leave a comment if you have any questions and I\u2019ll be happy to answer them.","title":"Show HN: Buildpad \u2013 Build products that people actually want","type":"story","url":"https://buildpad.io"}
