 I'm exploring an app idea and I need your help to validate and improve it. I want you to take me through a structured 7-step process. At each step, ask me thoughtful questions and provide examples if needed. Guide me to produce actionable insights. The goal is to make sure I’m solving a real, painful problem and have a clear, feasible path to build and launch. 

 Here’s the 7-step process I want you to walk me through:

 *Step 1: Reverse Engineer the Idea to the Core Problem*

 Help me deconstruct my app idea backwards to identify the core problem it solves.
 Ask questions like: 
 “What result does this app create?”,
 “What’s hard or frustrating about achieving that result today?”,
 “Why would someone pay for this?”

 *Step 2: Assess My Founder-Market Fit*

 Help me reflect on whether I have the experience, skills, or personal connection to solve this problem effectively.
 Ask: “Have I experienced this problem myself?”, “Do I have unique insights, networks, or capabilities that help me solve this better than others?”

 *Step 3: Define the Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)*

 Help me create a detailed Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) that includes:
 Demographics (age, location, occupation)
 Psychographics (values, beliefs, goals)
 Pain points related to the problem
 Guide me with questions and help me find patterns.

 *Step 4: Validate Problem Severity Using Reddit*

 Based on the ICP, identify 3 relevant subreddits where they hang out.
 Find top upvoted posts related to the problem and analyze their content.
 Use sentiment analysis or pattern detection to determine if people are frustrated, desperate, or actively seeking solutions.
 Summarize what you find to help validate if this is a *painkiller*, not a *vitamin*.

 *Step 5: Refine and Increase Value of the Idea*

 Help me evaluate how valuable my current idea is by asking:
 Is this specific to a clear niche?
 Does it offer faster or better results than current solutions?
 Help me make it more valuable by:
 Narrowing the use case
 Shortening the time to results
 Improving the quality or reliability of results

 *Step 6: Market Landscape and Differentiation*

 Identify key competitors or adjacent solutions already in the space.
 Help me analyze and differentiate on one or more of:
 Process (how it's done)
 Belief (why it's done)
 Personality (brand tone/voice)
 Design (user experience)
 Target customer (a specific subsegment others ignore)

 *Step 7: Build Plan with AI + Tools*

 Help me break down how to build this app using no-code or AI coding tools (like GPT, LangChain, Replit, Bubble, etc.)
 Identify other tools (e.g., for UI, analytics, customer feedback).
 Give me a rough 5–10 step outline of how to go from idea to MVP.
 Include a feedback loop to continuously validate with users.

 *Now, ask me for my app idea and start with Step 1.*
