I offer this feedback in a constructive vein, as the mistakes you have made are pretty common. Bottom line: This kind of launch/landing page is a real turn off for me, your prospective customer.

- There's no screenshots.

- No demo videos - if this AI is really helpful, you should be able to prove it beyond doubt in a one minute video.

- There's no indication of which platforms are supported.

- What do you think my favourite applications are - i.e. what specifically do you integrate with?

- There's no indication of planned pricing or, if it's free forever, then say so.

- No word on privacy or security - and I'm giving you access to my calendar.

I think you've lost a fair number of potential signups by missing out on the above...

I agree with your assessment. But I’d move having no price to the top of the list.

If you don’t know your price strategy, a/b test it. If it’s free, tell me.

I also intensely dislike the trend of AI apps not clearly showing which AI platform/model/whatever especially with my personal information. I need to know that as part of my vetting process.

I don’t use WhatsApp… so immediate bounce from the signup workflow for me…

Which is fucking wild… it’s a tool I’d love to try but their signup workflow requires me to sign up to a completely fucking useless extra chat app, degradingmy ability to segregate my personal communication channels and not lie to people when I say things like “I don’t have WhatsApp, just email me or SMS me about this work topic…” i don’t want to sign up for WhatsApp… why do they need WhatsApp? They found a way to make “login with Facebook”… but even more shitty and obnoxious…

Indian startup company and guess what India has the most WhatsApp users at 487 million (Statista).

Did they use AI to write the home page?

Based on my experience with other AI tools, I am now skeptical of over-promising from AI tools. It could be useful to add screenshots and videos to the landing page, to show a realistic perspective of what Mavex is and isn't capable of, so that I and other users can tell whether it'll be useful for us, and so that it's easier for us to believe the promises.

Does the email writer here train on my past emails to attempt to match my tone? Or is it simply using traditional training sets? This has been a major hurdle with the AI email drafters I've tried (ChatGPT-based)... I end up spend too much time fixing awkward wording I'd never, ever use.

For example - when was the last time I used "salutations" in a formal business email to clients? Never... I would literally never say "salutations".

(Edit to clarify - I have NOT tried Mavex yet, so not a criticism of it in particular)

GPT4 can be used to describe your tone by analyzing a few of your emails.

Adding that to your prompt should help to get something closer to what you would write, and you can iterate on this description if needed.

Source: I built a chatgpt ui that make it easy to create custom prompt template because I was tired of the copy-paste and/or back and forth to get the tone right.
