Frequently Asked Questions

Customer conversations are valuable, but they are hard to do right and easy to misinterpret. IndieSearch combines AI-powered deep research (market analysis, community signals and trend analysis) with proven validation tools (guided customer interviews, auto-generated landing pages) so your validation efforts actually prove demand. You get the speed of AI research with the confidence of real-world validation.

AI models requires extensive prompt engineering and smart combination of agents to get useful results. IndieSearch does it for you, but also gives you a validation framework tailored for indie hackers. We use proven business modelling and validation frameworks powered by AI agents specialized for each research step. AI speed meets real-world proof.

Validation means AI research has identified proven demand from real discussions in online communities like X, Reddit, and forums. Your confidence increases further when you run landing page experiments to test conversion, and reaches its highest level after you've interviewed real potential customers. It's a layered approach: community signals, market testing, and human validation.

We don't predict success—no one can. What we do is identify red flags, size markets, analyze competitor density, and surface demand signals that would take you weeks to gather manually. Think 'informed confidence' rather than 'prediction.'

We're currently in private beta building our first cohort of success stories. Early users have already used negative validation results to pivot away from ideas that would have wasted months of development time—sometimes that's the biggest win.

We analyze search trends, community discussions, competitor positioning, and market signals from multiple sources. Market data is refreshed continuously so you're making decisions on current conditions, not stale information.

Never. Your ideas remain completely private. We don't share them with other users, don't use them to train AI models, and will delete them upon request. Your competitive advantage stays yours.

Only you. All validation data remains private by default. Any sharing features are strictly opt-in. When you delete your account, your data goes with it—no exceptions.

The average indie hacker spends $2,000+ and 200+ hours on failed ideas. $9 to discover a fatal flaw before you build? That's not an expense—it's insurance against wasting months on something nobody wants.

Your first validation is completely free—no credit card required, no feature limits. You get the full experience to see exactly how it works. After that, subscribe to keep validating new ideas as they come to you.

Initial research completes in minutes. From there, you decide how deep to go—run landing page experiments, gather customer feedback, or move straight to building. You're in control of the pace.

Just your idea description. That's it. Our guided business modelling help you clarify your thinking as you go. Start simple, get clarity.

We combine Community Signals and Trend Analysis—real discussions from Reddit, X, and forums—with proven validation frameworks used by successful indie hackers. You get data-driven insights backed by methods that actually work for solo founders and small teams.
