I like the UI design overall - color schemes work great and it was easy to navigate especially as non-vertical platform. I had used Korean platforms (non-vertical,wide format) vs Western ones (vertical, doom-scrolling format) so I know how the non-vertical design promotes creativity rather than dopamine driven addiction. :) But I wish there was a convincing intro what Trbby really is, what’s its primary purpose. I didn’t know it could make posts on my linked social accounts at the same time. I thought this was a standalone platform just like instagram/ facebook, so I came in being confused what it was about and what to do, even though ‘how to use it’ was nicely written.
I know it’s just an alpha stage, and having AI assistant right next to the post is neat without having to go back and forth my AI website tab. But here’s a couple of my current thoughts (just my opinions!):
- the AI assistant is not as expansive as others (ChatGPT, Grok) - I asked its prompt and it didn’t fully grasp my command. One time the answer came with half-written sentence, like as if it was paused in the middle. I had this short blew up on instagram, so I gave this AI a test saying how to make this short vital as if I was making a new post, but it gave me generic answer, since I noticed the video mattered more than the writing, but AI kept insisting the writing was important. Maybe AI can assess visual contents as well.
- I wish this is integrated with uploading multiple images and videos, since I’m more of a video artist… speaking of which, I wish to see TikTok account linked as well.
- the posts were quite delayed on my linked social accounts which made it less valuable to use. IF the speed is improved, then I’d definitely feel more compelled to use it.
- It’s missing the most important hook that should stand out - what makes Trbby different & unique from other platforms? All I see is posting stuff at multiple social media with AI assistance which is tbh not new (I saw this in one of the Office episode many years ago).
Then the niche is fairly small, since there are not many people who’s focused on selling their brand through social media compared to general people making single posts for fun, imo. Maybe there could be an idea for general people as well..? but the more general it gets, it could dumb down the design… yet I think your current niche is tiny. So far it’s writing-oriented creation. If more visual contents are assessed, the niche will expand to visual workers/artists.
- At least AI personal assistance stood out for me because I think it’s inevitable in the near future where everyone in every field will have to have their AI assistance for whatever they are doing. If the AI on Trbby gets very helpful, your platform is gonna be powerful!
