The pain
The gap
Build angle
Strengths
- Clear, relatable pain point with real user frustration
- Specific willingness-to-pay signal (R$9.99/month)
- Addresses genuine productivity workflow issue
- Low technical complexity to build MVP
Risks
- Platform dependency: WhatsApp API restrictions make interception difficult; Meta could block or shut down the solution
- Tiny addressable market: only power users bothered enough to pay; most users simply ignore messages
- Weak retention: one-time setup, minimal ongoing engagement
- Regulatory/ToS risk: may violate WhatsApp terms of service
- Low LTV: R$9.99/month × 12 = ~$24/year; high CAC relative to revenue
- Better free alternatives: mute chats, do-not-disturb, or simply ask contacts to text instead

No easy way to hide Instagram stories from specific groups like coworkers
Instagram lacks a reverse 'close friends' feature to quickly hide stories from select people (e.g., colleagues) without hiding from everyone.
Productivity
Manual document processing creates bottlenecks in business workflows
Businesses waste time manually extracting data from invoices, contracts, forms and other documents. This creates delays and errors in workflows that depend on this information.
