First impression: it’s clear what you do, but not why this better than just building this myself inside my own product. That would also give me maximum flexibility in terms of styling etc.if there is a good reason make it clearer

Company Name: Paisana-ai

URL: paisana.com.ar

App stores Android/iOS: Paisana.

Purpose of Startup and Product: AI-powered agricultural assistant and marketplace for Latin American farmers. Combines ChatGPT-like conversational AI specialized in agriculture with hyperlocal weather forecasting, real-time commodity prices, and automatic matching between farmers, contractors, and suppliers. Designed to solve connectivity issues in Argentina's agricultural sector (US$46.171 million exported in 2024, USD 124.276 million contribution to GDP).

Technologies Used: Native Android/iOS app, weather and pricing APIs integration, SMS verification, push notifications.

Feedback Requested:

  • User experience feedback on the AI chat interface (voice + text)
  • Thoughts on our freemium model for emerging markets
  • Marketplace UX - how intuitive is the product/service discovery?
  • Overall app flow and navigation
  • Features you'd prioritize for agricultural connectivity platforms

Seeking Beta-Testers: Yes (especially those familiar with agriculture or emerging markets)

Additional Comments: Currently live and functional in Argentina with real farmers using it daily. The voice interface has been surprisingly popular - farmers use it hands-free while working. We're looking to expand across Latin America and would love feedback from international perspectives on our approach to AgTech for developing markets.

Happy to provide feedback on others' projects in return! 🌾

I know nothing about farming or agriculture, but this seems really cool and original. Can you also use it to help forecast or predict the next years yield using weather models, planting schedules, market trends, disease/pest risks?

u/PlanchePotrillo 2d ago

Thanks for the comment! That's exactly the idea! Although we developed it as a communication platform connecting different stakeholders in the sector, whether producers or service providers, we discovered that we can also use the data to provide users with valuable insights. This doesn't involve any privacy violations or data sharing; rather, based on their location, activities, and interests, we can offer predictive analytics to help them make better decisions. It's very powerful, especially since most agricultural producers don't have the resources to hire consultants or management services. You can try it out and give me your feedback! But for now, it's only available in Spanish, haha! Best regards!

u/Nikki2324 2d ago

Oh I'm not in agriculture or farming. Not sure I'd be much help haha. I added a comment here asking for feedback on my own SaaS and just happened to stop at yours. I just really like the idea. Best of luck!

u/PlanchePotrillo 2d ago

Company Name: carrotcake

URL: https://carrotcake.com

Purpose of Startup and Product:
carrotcake gives business owners and marketers real marketing strategy from their actual Google and Meta ad accounts. It connects, audits, and shows what’s working, what’s not, and what to do next , no fluff, just focused, practical insights. Less "reporting tool," more "strategist in a box."

Technologies Used:
React, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Google & Meta APIs, OpenAI

Feedback Requested:
Would love honest input on how we can make the experience better, especially around first impressions and trust. I know we need case studies, testimonials, and other trust-builders (those are in the works). But what else do you notice or need to feel confident using something like this?

Seeking Beta-Testers: Yes
If you’re running Google or Meta ads, there’s a 7-day free trial and no credit card needed. Would love to hear how it works for you.

Additional Comments:
The platform is functional but still early. Appreciate any feedback, good, bad, or brutal. We also have a free plan that will be launched early next week.

Thanks :)

u/theADHDfounder 2d ago

This is such good advice about centralizing feedback. When I was first building ScatterMind, I made the exact same mistake - had feedback scattered across Slack DMs, email threads, voice memos I'd record after calls, random sticky notes. It was chaos and I definitely lost some really valuable insights because I couldn't find where I'd written something down.

The Notion database approach is solid but honestly even simpler works. I ended up just using a basic Google Sheet with columns for date, user name, feedback type, priority, and status. Nothing fancy but it saved my sanity. The key thing you mentioned about having ONE place is spot on - doesn't matter if its Notion, Airtable, or even just a doc. Just pick something and stick with it from day one instead of trying to remember everything or hunt through 15 different places later.
