1. Personal Insight Questions

Understanding the daily life and struggles of the users is the first step toward developing a solution that genuinely helps them. These questions will help you get a clear picture of who my users are and what they value:

• What does your typical day look like? This question will give an overview of their daily routine, helping you identify where the product could fit into their workflow.
• What is the main problem you face in your work or business? Directly ask them about the biggest challenge they encounter. This will highlight the pain points that the solution should address.
• What do you care about the most in your work, and how do you define success? Understanding what success means to my users allows me to align the product’s value proposition with their goals.

2. Idea-Related Questions – Try Not to do this until they show complete commitment for the idea

Once I have a grasp of their daily struggles, it’s time to introduce my idea and gauge their reaction. These questions will help me validate whether the solution is something they would actually use and pay for:

• Here’s my idea for Edvic.ai. What are your thoughts on it? Share concept and listen to their feedback. Are they excited about it? Do they see its value? Their responses will help me refine the idea.
• Would you be willing to pay for this solution? If yes, how much? This question is crucial for understanding the potential market value of the product. It also helps you assess whether users see enough value in solution to invest in it.
• Does the solution address a problem or create value for you? Ask them if the idea solves a real problem for them or if it adds value to their work. If it does, dig deeper into how significant that value is.
• Do you currently use any existing solutions? If yes, what do you like and dislike about them? Knowing what users appreciate and dislike about existing tools gives you a competitive edge. It allows you to build on what’s already working and avoid the pitfalls of current solutions.
• Why would you not use the product ? : this would help to know the pain for user to learn new software and use it on daily basis. Repeatedly ask until you get all answers.

3. Exploring User Desires and Behaviors

Finally, to uncover the broader context in which users operate. This includes their aspirations, the communities they engage with, and the content they consume:

• If you could have any feature or solution, regardless of technological feasibility, what would it be? This question encourages users to think beyond the current limitations and share their ideal vision. It can spark innovative ideas that we might incorporate into future versions of the product.
• What communities are you part of? What do you read? What do you watch? Understanding their community involvement and content consumption helps you tailor the marketing strategy. It also provides insights into the influences that shape their decisions and preferences.
