The Roast
"You've just reinvented the content calendar wheel, except now it's powered by ChatGPT and somehow *more* generic. Congrats—you've built a feature, not a business, and there are already 47 SaaS tools doing this with better UX and actual paying customers."

đź’€ Why This Fails
- • Direct competition from Buffer, Later, Hootsuite, and 100 AI content tools—all funded, all better marketed
- • No defensible moat: LLM + scheduling is a commodity; anyone can build this in a weekend
- • Users don't actually need 'suggested cadence'—they need *engagement metrics* and *proven resonance*, which requires distribution/audience data you don't have
- • Monetization unclear: B2C has churn hell; B2B requires enterprise sales you're not equipped for
âś… The Pivot
Stop building the tool. Instead, become a **done-for-you content strategist for a specific niche** (e.g., B2B SaaS founders, indie hackers, micro-SaaS founders). You manually craft 4-week content calendars + 16 optimized posts per calendar, then *sell each calendar for $297-497*. No tech stack required—just positioning, research, and copywriting. Repeat customers = recurring revenue. Niche + manual = defensible vs. SaaS competitors.
