About TryBadIdea
TryBadIdea, whose site is in French with an English option, challenges a business idea before you launch. You describe the idea, how it makes money and your vision, and say what you want debated first, such as price or market. A panel of five AI experts with conflicting interests then debates it, a devil's advocate from a different AI attacks it, and the report ends with a stamped verdict of go, no-go or modify with conditions.
Before the experts speak, a Scout researches the real market with current web searches, finding competitors, real prices and positioning, and customer complaints with sources, and it lists angles nobody covers. The site contrasts this with a single chatbot that tends to flatter and may invent competitors. The report shows areas of agreement, conflict, blind spots, devil's advocate attacks and market reality, and the verdict can be shared or rerun.
A session costs 9.99 euros, takes about five minutes, and a failed session is refunded. The site asks for a detailed description of at least three or four sentences, since a more precise brief produces a more precise verdict.
