Is information being scattered across different tools a meaningful problem for your agency?\n2. How much time does your team spend searching for client information or reconstructing previous decisions?\n3. Would a single chat interface connected to your agency’s tools be genuinely useful, or would it just become another tool to manage?\n4. What questions would you want the system to answer?\n5. Which integrations would be essential?\n6. What would prevent you from using it—security, client confidentiality, inaccurate answers, setup effort, or something else?\n7. Is this a pain point you would actually pay to solve? If so, what monthly price range would feel reasonable?\n8. Are you currently solving this with Notion, Slack search, ChatGPT, Glean, Guru, or another product? What is still missing?\n\nI’m not looking for polite encouragement—I would especially value hearing why this idea **would not** work or why your agency would **not** pay for it.\n\nThanks in advance.
