Startup Idea Validator: Rapid Feature Feedback with GPT with Anna Iosifova (IAI)
Session Description:
In this hands-on session, you’ll build your own Custom GPT to help validate product and feature ideas—before investing time or resources. This GPT uses a simple 7-question prompting technique to guide you through structured product thinking, market exploration, and early user discovery.
You’ll learn how to embed these questions into your GPT instructions so the model helps you or your team pressure-test assumptions, uncover blind spots, and summarize next steps like a product strategist would.
This session is perfect for startup founders, product managers, or anyone building something new. No code or prior GPT experience is required. You’ll leave with a working GPT you can customize and reuse for any idea you explore.
