App Description
An app designed to recommend food using AI for people with decision fatigue. Despite the innovative approach, the app has struggled with user acquisition and retention, with less than 50 new users in the past six months and a zero retention rate.
Project Overview
The app, NearbyGem, aimed to solve decision fatigue by recommending food using AI. Despite its innovative approach, it has faced significant challenges in user acquisition and retention, with less than 50 new users in six months and a zero retention rate. Feedback suggests a lack of clear value proposition over existing solutions like Yelp and Google Maps, and a preference for predictability in food choices among users. The project’s future is uncertain, with suggestions ranging from pivoting to wrapping up and focusing on new endeavors.
