Validated Business Idea
AI-powered inbox triage that turns messy emails into a structured sales pipeline.
SaaS subscription: $39/month for 'Solo' (up to 200 leads/mo), $89/month for 'Growth' (unlimited leads + bi-directional CRM sync). 80% net margin after API costs.
Pricing Tiers
Margins: No server costs until >500 active users. Hosting on Render ~$5–15/mo. Gross margins 85%+ once customer base grows.
Solo founders and specialized freelancers who receive 10+ inbound inquiries daily and lose revenue due to slow response times or manual data entry into complex CRMs.
Week 1-2: Setup landing page, Gmail/Outlook OAuth flow, and waitlist. Week 3-6: Build MVP using Vercel/Supabase; implement GPT-4o to categorize intent, score leads, and draft context-aware replies. Week 7-9: Beta test with 15 solo operators to refine prompt accuracy and UI simplicity. Week 10-12: Public launch on Product Hunt and X (Twitter) targeting the #buildinpublic community.
The AI handles everything else. You just approve these 5 decisions — everything between approvals runs autonomously.
