About ShouldBuild
ShouldBuild is an AI-powered market validation tool designed to help developers, entrepreneurs, and SaaS creators determine if an idea is worth pursuing before spending months building something nobody wants.

Instead of relying on guesswork, ShouldBuild delivers a clear build / don't-build verdict backed by verifiable, clickable user quotes. Users can curate the most valuable findings, transform them into concrete concepts and project backlogs, and track progress using Monday updates that highlight new market rivals, emerging complaints, and whether recent product updates successfully reduced user friction.
