Asking for Advice about my next product Idea...
I have the crazy idea to develop an SDR-Agent that will:
1. discover new opportunities on LinkedIn and Facebook,
2. contact leads and manage conversations on LinkedIn, Facebook, Email and Whatsapp;
3. provide a complete DFY solution, providing social accounts and email inboxes (so the users don't need to risk their own profiles).
Finally, I am planning to offer a 7-day trial for $1.
I have some concerns:
1. is there any room for a product like this in the market actually?
2. what may be the rate of users that will pay for the trial and will never use the tool?
3. can I bootstrap a project like this and run it alone (I have no partners)?

There is already a market for this. Look around and you will find some such products. The outcomes achieved will define the success. If you demonstrate outcomes the users will stick. Bootstrapping is possible but you will need partners to bring the product to life.
That's my 2 cents
@manu_goel2 Thank you for your comment.

I am afraid the product is 95% done. Let me explain:
- the automation bots is done.
- the automation rules engine is done.
- landing page is done.
Still pending:
- a nice and simple UI is still still in process.
- finding an effective GTM strategy is in process.

I know so many. I am concerned about market saturation.
"I have so many tools" is the most frequent answers I get when I offer it.

Good strategy.
I used to show my own outcomes (using my tools for selling my tools)... but still didn't work.
Now, I am testing showing testimonials of beta-testers.
Hey Leandro!
First off, love how ambitious and well-scoped your idea is especially the DFY angle, which solves a real friction point for users wary of risking personal accounts. That said, a couple of thoughts:
Market fit? Yes, there’s definitely interest in automated SDR tools, but the edge will be in how safe and smart your agent behaves across platforms especially with LinkedIn tightening automation rules. If you can prove reliability + avoid shadow bans, that’s your wedge.
$1 trial concern Totally valid. A lot of folks pay and never activate. Maybe layer in onboarding nudges or auto-setup so users see value immediately, even passively.
Solo bootstrapping? Doable, but this kind of product is infra-heavy (multiple integrations + compliance). You might want to bring on a tech advisor early even part-time just to keep your sanity.
Excited to see where this goes. Would love to hear how you plan to handle platform limits + messaging policies too!

I am a software engineer. I can do both roles (tech and sales).
Looking for a co-founder? Yes, if he/she can perform in one of these 2 roles.

I am going to start a journey thred in the self-promotion forum.
theres always room if your marketing is good enough
I've seen a billion zoom note taker ads, cold emailing service ads, and they're all the same service more or less.
Definitely both services i need/would use but on surface level i'm only clicking on it if it looks cool or is funny.
Cool visuals and funny is the difference between your service and the next one
@ross_danowitz Good point. Thank you @ross_danowitz
