Just wanted to share that while I am still working on getting interviews scheduled, I've used the Deep Research agent on ChatGPT to scrape forums to validate some of the points on the PAIN framework Adam shared with me.
Since my product is a marketplace and I really only have personal experience on one side of it, this process has been incredibly helpful for helping me prep for interviews.
I would recommend the following prompt for anyone looking for some extra information about their problem:
"Are people currently discussing the difficulties of X Problem on social media, relevant websites, trade publications, or other groups? Find me 3 recent examples from 2025 if so."
Then let the bot scrape the latest posts from Reddit and LinkedIn.
Not a replacement for talking to potential customers, but its given me some helpful language to describe the problem I'm solving for!
