🛠️ Tools for Side Hustlers 🛠️ 
🔍️ What we found for you this week 🔍️ 

  • 🗣️ Rhetor AI - The feedback collection AI for your business

  • 🌐 Webscape - The AI copilot for the integrating web searches with your individual workspace

  • 🔵 BlueDotHQ - AI-powered Chrome extension for Google Meet

  • 🔁 LoopGenius - Automate your marketing process to land the first 100 customers for your personal brand, side hustle, or business

🗣️ Featured tool: RhetorAI 🗣️

Finding product-market fit can be tough, but having access to customer feedback is a key advantage in the process. You could send out surveys or constantly poll your users, but those only give you the raw data, without offering actionable insights on how to best serve your customers.

With RhetorAI, you don’t have to worry about polls and surveys anymore. An AI chatbot will talk interview your users to understand how they use your product and what they like about it at regular intervals. It's like having a 24/7 product researcher on your team telling you exactly how to serve your customers.
