What you'll need

  • Your idea in a sentence or two
  • A few people who'd be honest
  • Any AI chat assistant

The steps

  1. Write your idea in plain words.
  2. Paste the prompt and fill in the brackets.
  3. Use the questions in quick chats with 5-10 people.
  4. Look for patterns — what they say AND what they'd actually pay for.

The prompt

Help me sanity-check a new idea with real people before I build it.

My idea: [describe it in a sentence or two]
Who it's for: [the people it would help]

Give me: (1) 5 short questions I can ask potential customers that get honest answers, not just politeness; (2) the one question that best reveals whether they'd actually pay; and (3) what kind of answers should make me rethink the idea. Keep the questions conversational, not survey-like.

Make sense of the answers

I talked to [X] people — here's what they said: [paste your notes]. What patterns do you see, and should I move forward, tweak, or rethink?

What you'll get

Honest questions to test demand before you build — and a clear read on whether to go, tweak, or rethink.

If it's not quite right

  • No one to ask? Add "Suggest where I could find 5 of these people this week."
  • Getting only nice answers? Add "Rewrite the questions to surface real objections."
