For founders

Stop guessing what to build.

AskDeeper interviews your users 1:1 — voice or text, smart follow-ups, 40+ languages — and tells you what to build next.

5 free interviews. We email you a link — no password to remember.

Don't take our word for it. Be the one interviewed.

Spend a few minutes as your own user. Watch the AI hear a vague answer and ask the exact follow-up you'd be too busy — or too polite — to ask.

No signup.

The problem

Building fast is good. Building the wrong thing fast is brutal.

You know the story. Six months heads-down. Launch day. Crickets. The months are gone — and you never really knew if anyone wanted it. (42% of startups die for one reason: no market need. — CB Insights)

It's not that you don't believe in talking to users. You do. You're shipping anyway — because:

  • You don’t have users to talk to yet.
  • You don’t have time, and cold outreach doesn’t scale — exhausting by the 10th email; the form got one reply.
  • You don’t know what to ask without leading the witness ("Would you pay $19?" → a meaningless yes).
  • Honestly? It’s awkward. You’d rather open your editor.

So you build on vibes. And vibes are expensive.

How it works

Write it in minutes. Read what to build — as fast as your users reply.

1

Write your interview in minutes.

Tell AskDeeper what you’re trying to figure out. It drafts the questions (Mom-Test style — about what people actually did). You edit and approve every one.

2

Share one link with the users you’ve got.

Your waitlist, your signups, your Slack or Discord, your DMs, or just 10 cold emails. Everyone who clicks gets a real 1:1 conversation — voice or text, in their language, day or night. No calls to book. No notes to take.

3

Read what to build next.

You get themes, the real quotes behind them, and a clear recommendation — not a pile of transcripts to wade through.

From one interview

Why founders churn off our tool

Recording
What made you start looking for a new tool last week?
Our old one was just slow and clunky.
When was the last time the speed actually blocked you? Walk me through it.
Tuesday. I lost 20 minutes waiting on an export right before a client call. I looked unprepared.
What did you do in those 20 minutes — and what did you wish you could do?
Refreshed the tab, panicked, joined the call late. I just wanted the export to be instant so I could trust it.

A survey gives you checkboxes. This gives you the truth.

A survey can't ask why. AskDeeper does — like a real interview, at the speed of a survey.

Yeah, but…

Every reason you're not doing this — answered.

"I don’t have users to talk to yet."

You don’t need a list — you need ~10 of the right people and one link. Point it at your waitlist, your community, your DMs, or 10 cold emails. You write the interview once; everyone who clicks gets a real conversation. (We do the interviewing, not the recruiting — you bring the people.)

"I don’t have time / I hate cold outreach."

You never schedule or sit through a single call. Write it once, share the link, and the AI runs every conversation 1:1, in parallel, while you ship.

"I’ll just lead the witness."

It won’t. It asks about real past behavior, never leads, and digs for the "why" — built on the playbook you already trust (Mom Test, YC). It interviews more rigorously than you would at 11pm.

"Will people actually open up to a bot?"

More than you’d think. With no one reacting on the other end, people drop the politeness and say what they actually think. It’s not fishing for compliments — it asks what they did, not whether they like your idea, and chases the "why" with a follow-up you’d be too biased, or too polite, to ask.

"How do I know it’s not hallucinating?"

Every theme links to a real quote in the transcript. You read the actual words. And you edit and approve every question before a single interview goes live.

Founder questions

Questions, answered straight.

Can an AI really replace talking to my users?

No — and we won’t pretend it does. Run your first 10–15 conversations yourself if you can. AskDeeper is how you talk to more of them, and to your users when you can’t be on every call.

What if I have no users yet?

You only need ~10 of the right people and a link. Bring them from anywhere — we do the interviewing, not the recruiting.

Will people actually be honest with a bot?

Often more honest — no one’s reacting, so there’s no reason to be polite. It asks what they did, not whether they like your pitch.

What does it cost?

Free to start, no card (5 interviews, AI summary). $39/mo for full Insights and 30 interviews; ~$1–2 per interview as you scale (vs ~$100–200 outsourced).

What do I need to start?

A sentence about what you’re trying to learn. The AI drafts the questions; you edit and approve before anything goes live.
