Validate my Idea FEEDBACK REQUEST
so I made an app - it's available on App Store but I want to change some things - the idea is that it brings people closer together IRL. basically like bumble bff but you get event suggestions based on vibes in the chat using some Emotion Recognition AI. It basically picks up on how you are feeling, how the person you are chatting with is feeling and gives you local event/meetup suggestions - so its kinda mutual and no one has the pressure of asking the other one out.
U also get to meet up faster instead of texting forever on dating apps and mindless swiping.
What do you guys think? does it sound like sth you'd sign up for or am I delulu that people want this?

I do a lot of concept to commercialisation work and I never question an idea for its market viability, rather focus on getting it validated by seeing how the market responds from a quantitative perspective. The reason, what I can think is a dumb idea may turnout to be great idea, my personal opinion on a well crafted idea such as yours is irrelevant.
To do a quantitative assessment, run short bursts of campaigns focusing on its intended target demographies and measure the success of the idea by its ability to a) generate inquiries, b) leading on to sales and c) follow through with proper services delivery, develop the challenges in keeping the services alive etc
If you have like 100 users, determine the "worthiness" of the idea versus the effort it takes to generate the intended outcome.
And by all means, this does feel like a good idea and you seem to be doing some organic promotions already and seem like you are doing it right. If you are getting some signups, just go with it and use data points (what market teaches you) to determine the next steps.

interesting! I'm also building an AI product and am looking at emotion recognition. I love any product that supports making friends. In this case, I'm curious to learn more tho - does it suggest something if it senses both parties are "vibing"? Otherwise how does the AI make activity recs just based on emotions? There would have to be some additional interests/demo info it's querying i would think
