Talk to users before spending weeks on extra features
FlexoraAI started with the belief that one more feature would make the product ready to show. That extra work stretched into weeks of building. After stopping the coding work and speaking with people who use AI every day, the product direction changed.
The feature expected to be the main selling point did not matter much in those conversations. The repeated pain was different: people kept switching between AI tools, moving context from one chat to another, and trying to remember what each conversation was for. The product is now moving away from being an all-purpose AI tool.
Its sharper focus is a where different handle different tasks while the whole work process stays in one place. It is still early, and the current priority is more user conversations instead of more feature building.
