New Problem to Build a Startup: Immigrants spend years figuring out the American system by trial and error, losing money to scams. Need an AI guide for rent, taxes, insurance, and scam protection.

@j3rah_ I know that many appliance repair technicians waste a ton of time searching for the right parts at affordable prices.

🦄 New Problem to Build a Startup:

Impossible to quickly find out where a needed product is in stock right now. Have to call around and drive. Willing to pay 300 pesos per month for an app that saves time.

@j3rah_ That's why I wanted to build a solution, because I was wasting a huge amount of time searching for the right products. With AI this is now possible to implement, it wasn't possible before.

[Boris Glen @theborisglen]

@j3rah_ I personally faced this problem about 6-7 years ago when I was looking for plumbing parts in my town of 300k people across different offline stores (at least 3 of them).

Bro, here comes the most important startup advice:

⚡️ New Problem to Build a Startup:

Fake negative reviews from people who were never customers are appearing on Google Business. Extortionists offer to remove them for money. Google won't help. Need a real solution.

⚡️ New Problem to Build a Startup:

New SaaS projects require weeks of infrastructure setup. Existing templates don't work. Need a solid foundation. Willing to pay $100–150 one‑time.

I didn’t have a father’s guidance, but I had Paul Graham’s essays. Thank you, Paul.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

When you go talk to users, don't (just) ask them what features they want. Ask them what problems they have. In the best case this will lead you to think of features they'll love but would never have thought to ask for. And expect to go through multiple cycles of ask-and-build.

For my new app, I need a unified way to call any (potentially) LLM.
I started with OpenAI models and now I'm losing my mind because:
- there is no way to know the pricing for each model
- there is no way to get the precise, clear list of params for each model

Thank you for all the positive reviews @SafeLimit_ receives.

I will be less active for the next 2 weeks, but please know that the LinkedIn ban prevention tool has already had its first users.

It motivates me to keep going. ❤️

[Boris Glen @theborisglen]

@SeaCatWiz Hi, Katya! What kind of product are you building? If you'd like, I'll post about your product in the ProblemHunt Telegram group. 🙂
