Hey there, Matt here, founder of Hunch. I've worked as a designer for twenty years, focusing on customer discovery conversations. I've now done my best to build a simple product that helps people learn to have customer conversations that discover their needs. It is a free iOS/macOS note app, that can be a place to collect your conversation transcripts. It all runs on device so you have everything fast and secure. It works with markdown files so you can use it alongside other note apps like Obsidian. There is a guide in the app as to how to improve your customer discovery conversations, and if you choose to analyse your conversations with the open ai api, you can use that with your own open ai api key (ie. hunch doesn't have a subscription). I hope this helps you in your projects. Please reach out with any thoughts or questions. Cheers, Matt.

I love how Hunch not only assists with note-taking but also helps users improve their customer conversations. @matt_ayers4 Great job.
Matt Ayers
Thanks @marion_fowler, really appreciate that. Yea I'm really hoping to help people learn the customer conversation skills. I think with the guide in there, people can make some big gains. Let me know if you have any ideas to make it better.

Awesome @matt_ayers4 - I'm in this process now for a new product and this is exactly what I'm trying to fumble my way around using notes and chatgpt - this looks way better! Does it allow you or AI to automatically tag recurring needs across conversations and for conversations to be shared amongst team members? Definitely going to load up my customer interviews to date into it. Nice work!
Matt Ayers
Thanks @leancto! I have experimented with exactly that use case of tagging recurring needs. But I took it out before I released the product because I wanted to find a way to make sure people are confident in sending away their data to the open ai api. But I have an approach now that I am happy with where you simple select the transcripts you want to analyse, and the app clearly outlines what will happen with the data (like with how it currently works with the conversation tips), so I do have that planned. In terms of sharing amongst team members. That can be done in a few different ways. The way hunch works is that you select a folder on your device, and hunch will just create and edit markdown files. So if you choose a folder from a share drive over google (or however your team is setup) the markdown files will be accessible by anyone on your team that has access to that folder. Keen to get any thoughts on this, whether it sounds in the ballpark of the type of thing that would work.

@leancto I've just submitted updates to the Apple app store for both the iPhone & Mac versions of Hunch. There will be a new feature where you can use the open ai api key to select a set of your customer transcripts and analyse them for common needs. I'll let you know when the updates get through the review process and go live on the app store. Thanks again for the feedback πŸ™
Matt Ayers
@leancto both iPhone & Mac apps through the App Store review process now and live in the App Store. Hope the analysis of needs works well for you.
