Product Discovery for Software Ideas

Eight AI tools that pressure-test your idea before any code gets written — business model, competitors, users, features, tech, scope, cost.

Free, no setup, 2-3 minutes per tool.

How Discovery Works

Eight specialist agents, one chain. You describe the idea once, chat with each agent in turn, and walk away with eight PDF artifacts you can use anywhere. Every agent is trained on the principles that run client work at Varstatt.

Describe Your Idea

Paste a paragraph about what you're building — the problem, the user, the rough shape. The product discovery process starts here, with no template and no signup.

Chat with Eight Specialist Agents

Each of the eight product discovery tools owns one slice — business model, competitors, distribution, users, features, tech, scope, cost. Every agent carries forward what the previous one decided.

Get Pushed Back When Answers Are Weak

The agents argue. They refuse "everyone is my customer", "we have no competitors", "all 15 features are must-have" — and force you to the structural answer instead of rubber-stamping yours.

Receive Eight PDF Artifacts in Your Inbox

One PDF per tool — Lean Canvas, competitor map, channel plan, personas, feature priorities, tech verdict, PRD, cost range. Use them in pitch decks, dev quotes, or your own planning.
