I added a 5-question clarity step to my 30-minute MVP workshop.
Before building, it helps you figure out what you’re actually making.
Then it turns that into something small, focused, and ready to build.
No overthinking.
No feature chaos.
Just clear next steps.
This is such an underrated point.
Most early builders struggle more with feature chaos than actual development.
Clarity reduces months of wasted effort.
Curious — what’s the most common mistake you see founders make before building?
Thanks for commenting! I think that the number one mistake that early builders make is over building in the wrong direction which leads to a lot of wasted effort on building what isn't needed.
How about you, how do you think your workflow would be if your AI Assistant interviewed you before you built anything?
That’s a really interesting way to frame it. If an AI assistant interviewed me first, I think the biggest advantage would be forcing clarity before execution — especially around assumptions. Most builders (myself included sometimes) jump into building solutions before...
An AI-led ‘pre-build interrogation’ sounds kind of cool, the system is built to respond gentler than that but still sharp. Give it a try and let me know how it goes!

The brief was simple. Show a new personalized news feature.
The obvious solution was to show a few clicks in the UI as you choose your topics. Clear, but not very interesting.
So I pulled that moment out of the interface first and turned it into a cloud of topics. You get the idea before you even see the product, then the video drops you back into the real UI and shows where it lives.
I really like these tiny decisions. The feature stays the same, but it feels easier to get and a lot more fun to watch.
Pulling the topic cloud outside the UI makes the feature instantly clearer.
