Show HN: Some Pay Millions for McKinsey, Others Use BrainTerms

https://brainterms.ai/
3•Jderenne•4h ago
Hi all !

We built a fantastic full agentic ai system for funders and product managers explore and pilot their product strategies.

With a team of orchestrated, objective drive and self enhanced AI Agents doing strategic expertise you benchmark your pricing, define your GTM strategy, roadmap and more.

We simulate your users and for each segment the system give you deep insights (churn, adoption, which features to develop etc).

Objective is to have a digital twin of your business and take decision based on simulated outcome

Need your help :

We have lots of visitors but few (free) sign up (ok we launched some weeks ago, but we expected more converstion).

We need to understand why. :-)

Tks ! Jerome.

> We need to understand why. :-)

Two thoughts:

- Most people will want to try something before handing over their personal details. Many startups, once they have your email address, will start spamming with emails, which gets annoying very fast.

- It's not clear what your product does that o3-pro/Claude4/Gemini2.5/DeepSeekR1 can't do. (Or do well.) Your video is mostly just a marketing spiel. If you can't offer an unrestricted, no-questions-asked free trial, what you want to do is show people a sort of A/B test, with your product vs. a well-prompted leading competitor like o3-pro.

Also just imagine hiring McKinsey in 2025. lmao.

thanks! appreciated feedback !

-There are two video, one positioning the product the other (at the end) walking through it. This one gives more insights ? not the right format ?

-I can let all people in (with some limitation) without any sign up (to remove all friction). I was afraid that It will only increase our AI cost usage without attracting serious "clients" ... wdyt ? any experience with that ?

Why not ask you genius AI? It surely knows, it is made for that.

Well I can consult you: This thing is shit and will spew out brain dead bullshit. Much like McKinsey, so that part is on point.

How would you like to pay my 250K consulting fee?

Jderenne•1h ago
Fair point we actually did ask our AI. It gave us 6 hypotheses, a funnel analysis, and a competitor teardown. Now we’re asking humans too they tend to be better at sarcasm :-)

We’ve been impressed by the depth so far (we uses domain-specific agents), often comparable to a solid strategy consultant. Still early, though, and always learning from edge cases and critiques.
