What are you working on? Any new ideas which you're thinking about?

An AI-native DocuSign

It's been around a month I've been working on it. Struggling with getting people to actually use it - this week I've set the ambitious goal of 10 new contracts sent *and completed* by people I don't know (last week's was 10...by people I do know).

It's hard because I feel I'm in a weird hole - in order to have a good product I need people to use it and give me feedback, but in order for people to use it and give me feedback I need a good product. It's like wth!

Another thing I'm struggling with - enjoying the process. I get daydreams like mad. I feel I'm always living in the future in some way, especially with this software, and it's taking away from being present in this work. Which sucks, because I want to be excited to *work* on this and NOT fake my own excitement towards this as a manifestation of my greed to get rich off it.

But MAN am I greedy. It's ugly sometimes, to myself.

But god how I love to work on software also. How I love making stupid bash commands on my terminal. How I love to feel like the old gods, who conquered the infant digital world.

Interesting, nice landing page. But I wonder if users care that it is "AI-native" As in, do users look for contract generation or eSignature that is infused with AI? Or rather are users interested in their own "job to be done" - whether that be creating a contract, agreement, or getting it signed efficiently.

Haha thanks!

I'm still trying to understand what users want. The origin of this site was a friend's issue - everytime he wanted to make a contract and send it to someone he would (1) generate w/ gpt (2) paste in google docs (3) export as pdf (4) drop into docusign and drag signature fields into blanks (5) sign + send.

After I talked to another person who recounted the same story, I thought there could be something here.

I did learn that people have their own existing contract templates they want to use instead of generating new ones each time (though sometimes that's nice), and that feature is in dev.

But all my data on what users want is from very low sample sizes :(

Having pricing upfront would help I think, the lack of having that up-front is probably deterring people
