Obliterate my app idea before I bet my life savings on it (AI lead-gen tool)
So I have this app idea on my mind for months now, but I’m 95% sure it’ll flop. Can you help me figure it out?
The Problem: Many agencies struggle to stand out in a crowded marketplace and waste time on discovery calls. Current lead generation tools often feel impersonal and don’t showcase how an agency’s expertise can solve specific problems of clients.
The Idea: A lead generation tool for agency owners that uses AI to create personalized recommendations for prospects (potential customers) early in the sales process. These recommendations are sent as custom reports (aka lead magnet) to the prospect. This would showcase how the agency can address the unique needs and requirements of the potential client without requiring a discovery call right away.
The whole process will be 100% automated, allowing agency owners to focus on closing deals.
Target audience: Agency owners/marketers who want to focus on acquiring qualified leads online. In the future, I’d love to explore niches like SaaS and real estate.
How it works in 4 steps:
Prospect Input: Prospects visit an agency’s landing page (generated by my app) and submit their goals and challenges.
AI Matching: The custom-trained AI processes their input and combines it with the agency’s data to generate a customized, actionable report.
Delivery: The report is instantly emailed to the prospect, highlighting how the agency can address his/her challenges.
Follow-Up: With the prospect warmed up, the agency can follow up and (hopefully) convert them into a client.
For example, a digital marketing agency could use the app to create a landing page offering a free ‘Personalized Marketing Strategy Report.’ When a prospect submits his goals and challenges, the AI instantly generates and emails a tailored report, showcasing the agency’s expertise.
Why It Might Fail: Maybe agencies won’t see the value in automation, or AI-generated reports might feel impersonal. Could this idea fill a real gap?
Why It Might Work: It’s a way for agencies to stand out with personalized lead magnets that feel unique and interactive. It could help agencies attract and convert qualified leads in an automated way.
Your Honest Feedback:
Would this help agencies improve their lead-generation process, or is it just flashy nonsense?
What flaws or challenges do you see in this idea?
Is this worth pursuing, or should I stick to spending time with my family 😂?
Thank you guys, your honesty might save me from myself!
PS: I won’t link to my tool because I don’t want to come off as a spammer.
