A Skool or circle platforms community management tool powered by ai to ...
...improve productivity of admins, increase engagement and revenue opportunities for community owner,
While there's clear interest in your idea, the market is saturated with similar offerings. To succeed, your product needs to stand out by offering something unique that competitors aren't providing. The challenge here isn’t whether there’s demand, but how you can capture attention and keep it.
Should You Build It?
Not before thinking deeply about differentiation.
Your are here
You're entering a competitive space with your AI-powered community management tool for platforms like Skool and Circle. There are already a good number of similar products in the market (n_matches = 12), so standing out will be key. On the bright side, these types of tools tend to have high engagement (avg n_comments = 36), suggesting people are interested in solutions that improve community management. It's also great news that there is already a very strong buy signal, which means people express a willingness to pay for a product like yours! Given the competitive landscape, you should definitely focus on differentiation early.
Recommendations
- Begin by conducting thorough competitive research. Analyze existing AI community management tools, paying close attention to their features, pricing, and user reviews. For example, user reviews of similar products highlight desired features like integrations with Slack/Discord, payment gateways, and mobile apps (Odd Circles). Figure out where these tools fall short and identify opportunities for differentiation.
- Based on your competitive research, pinpoint 2-3 key areas where your tool can offer a unique advantage. This could be a specific AI-powered feature, a more intuitive user interface, or a focus on a niche community type (e.g., Web3, education). One identified weakness with similar products is the lack of self-service capabilities. (Concurrence AI), this might be a great thing to focus on.
- Consider focusing on specific platforms like Skool and Circle, which can give you a narrower target. You can also consider focusing on the job to be done, for example, 'increase engagement and revenue opportunities for community owner' and deliver something that solves that specific problem.
- Develop a clear and compelling brand message that highlights your tool's unique value proposition. Focus on how your AI-powered features directly address the pain points of community admins and owners. Instead of highlighting the AI, highlight how it will help the community manager save time, increase revenue and/or drive more engagement.
- Prioritize early user feedback. Launch an MVP (minimum viable product) to a small group of community admins and actively solicit their input. Use this feedback to iterate quickly and refine your product based on real-world usage. Address any issues raised in similar products, such as confusing interfaces or a lack of clear task instructions (Community Hub, Albus for Community).
- Implement robust data privacy and user consent practices. Several similar products have faced scrutiny regarding data privacy, especially in global contexts (Odd Circles). Be transparent about how you collect, use, and protect user data to build trust with your community.
- While a positive buy signal is great, be mindful of pricing strategies. Offer a free tier or trial period to allow potential users to experience the value of your tool before committing to a paid plan.
Questions
- Given the existing solutions, what specific AI functionalities will your tool offer that genuinely improve community admin productivity and engagement beyond what's currently available?
- How will you ensure your AI algorithms are unbiased and promote inclusivity within the communities they manage, avoiding potential pitfalls of AI-driven moderation?
- What metrics will you use to measure the success of your AI-powered community management tool in terms of increased engagement and revenue generation for community owners, and how do these metrics compare to industry benchmarks?

This chart summarizes all the similar products we found for your idea in a single plot.
The x-axis represents the overall feedback each product received. This is calculated from the net use and buy signals that were expressed in the comments.
The maximum is +1, which means all comments (across all similar products) were positive, expressed a willingness to use & buy said product. The minimum is -1 and it means the exact opposite.
The y-axis captures the strength of the signal, i.e. how many people commented and how does this rank against other products in this category.
The maximum is +1, which means these products were the most liked, upvoted and talked about launches recently. The minimum is 0, meaning zero engagement or feedback was received.
The sizes of the product dots are determined by the relevance to your idea, where 10 is the maximum.
Your idea is the big blueish dot, which should lie somewhere in the polygon defined by these products. It can be off-center because we use custom weighting to summarize these metrics.
