💡 SaaS Idea: Customer Research Hub

Web app to centralize user interviews, transcripts, tags, and insights; AI-assisted affinity mapping and research repository for product teams.

Platform: web

Why it's a good idea?

1. Problem & Solution

Teams doing continuous discovery generate lots of raw data (Zoom calls, interview notes, support tickets). Turning that chaos into tagged insights and a searchable ‘source-of-truth’ hurts. Tools such as Dovetail, Condens or Grain show people pay to solve it.

Proposed product = “Customer Research Hub”: - centralize recordings / transcripts - AI suggests tags & affinity clusters - create shareable insight repo.

2. Evidence of Market Pain (community chatter)

  • Reddit r/UXResearch – recurring threads like “Alternatives to Dovetail?” and “Cheaper research repository?” (high engagement, dozens of comments)
  • HackerNews discussions around “We built an AI tool to analyse user interviews – ask us anything” receive 100+ up-votes.
  • Product-led blogs: “Top 7 Dovetail alternatives” (Kimola, Rapidr, HeyMarvin, etc.) → indicates active search traffic.
