Non-technical small business owners and solopreneurs who have tried automation tools (Zapier/Make/n8n) but abandoned them due to high maintenance burden.

Core Pain Point

Existing automation tools require users to build and maintain their own workflows — but API updates and data format changes cause frequent breakdowns. Non-technical users can't fix them and revert to manual work. What they actually need is a "someone else keeps it running" service, not another tool to learn. Key Quote: > "I really need a solution that feels more like a service than a software, something where the heavy lifting of building and fixing the workflows is handled by someone else." > — r/smallbusiness, 32 comments

Target Users

Small to mid-size ecommerce sellers who want to track competitor activity but can't sustain manual monitoring.

Core Pain Point

When competitors change prices or launch promotions, sellers can't detect it in time — they only notice after sales drop. Key Quote: > "There is a process for tracking competitor pricing and offer changes that does not involve manual monitoring, since I suck at that" > — r/ecommerce, 48 comments
