How it works

Three steps to a verdict

01

Describe your idea

One sentence about what you want to build. Or let Ervin find a trending opportunity for you.

02

Ervin researches and roasts

Finds real competitors with pricing and complaints, validates market demand with evidence, runs multi-agent debate from VC and customer perspectives.

03

Get a verdict and a validation plan

BUILD, PIVOT, or KILL — plus interview questions, a cold DM script, and where to find your users.

What you get

Decisions backed by evidence

Real competitors, not guesses

Ervin searches the web and finds actual companies doing something similar — with pricing, strengths, and what users complain about.

Multi-perspective analysis

Your idea gets debated by an advocate who builds the best case and a critic who tears it apart.

VC Roast

A tough but fair investor perspective — would they fund this? What would change their mind?

Customer Roast

A potential buyer's honest reaction — would they actually pay? What objections would they have?

Market validation with evidence

Reddit threads, market reports, and trend data — not AI hallucinations.

Actionable verdict

BUILD, PIVOT, or KILL — with specific conditions, risks, and recommended first steps.

What to do next — not just a verdict

After the roast, Ervin generates 5 interview questions specific to your idea, a cold DM script ready to copy-paste, where to find your target users, and one assumption to kill this week.

Example

Here's what Ervin said about a real idea

Idea
AutoGen Insights
A dashboard that visualizes multi-agent conversations from AutoGen in real time.
7 / 10PIVOT
VC said

Your moat is paper thin. LangSmith and Langfuse already observe agent traces with richer integrations — what stops them from shipping a nicer UI in a sprint?

Customer said

I already use LangSmith. Your visualization is prettier, but not prettier enough to rip out a tool my team is trained on. What would change my mind? Agent replay I can't get anywhere else.

Recommended first step

Interview 10 AutoGen users on r/LocalLLaMA and ai-engineering discords. Ask what they currently do when debugging a multi-agent run. If the answer is "grep logs," there's room. If it's "LangSmith," pivot.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How is this different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT gives opinions. Ervin searches the web for real competitors, validates market demand with evidence, and runs structured multi-agent analysis. Every claim is backed by data, not hallucinated.

Is my idea safe?

Your ideas are private. We don't share, sell, or train on your data.

What if I don't have an idea yet?

Use Discover mode — Ervin finds trending opportunities, identifies pain points, generates ideas, and roasts them for you.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No contracts, cancel in one click from your settings.
