Partial The API, dashboards, and Slack and MCP integrations are vibe-codeable. The defensible part, a panel of real respondents and a proprietary buyer-research dataset, is not something a solo builder can replicate with code alone.
What it would actually take: The software layer would be a web app, REST and MCP endpoints, and a Slack bot backed by an LLM and a vector store of interview data. The hard parts are recruiting and paying real buyer respondents at scale, running consistent AI-moderated interviews, and building a model that improves from that data. That takes research-operations capacity, incentive budgets, and years of accumulated interview data.
