My idea is basically a WhatsApp event reminder, where users add events on the website (which has a very simple interface) and they can put the event name, a description, the time of the event, and they can also upload files. Once uploaded, when the time of the event comes, the bot will send a message to the WhatsApp number registered with a reminder of the event and the information provided.

And if you have the premium version, you could just chat with the bot explaining the event and it will remind you when the time comes.

What do you think? I want your honest opinion, please, it would be so much help for me as I would not waste my time if it's not a good idea. Thanks for reading!

I've been sitting on this idea for a while and finally want to pressure-test it with people who actually know this space.

The concept is pretty straightforward: a lightweight web app where you create events (name, description, date, optional file attachments), and a bot automatically sends you — or your clients — a WhatsApp message when the time comes. You can set reminders for the exact moment, 1 hour before, 1 day before, 2 days before, etc.

The core insight I'm building around: WhatsApp has ~98% open rates vs ~20% for email. Most calendar apps send push notifications that people ignore. But almost nobody ignores a WhatsApp message.

My target user isn't really "everyone" — I'm thinking specifically about independent professionals (therapists, dentists, coaches, tutors) who lose real money when clients don't show up to appointments. A no-show isn't just annoying, it's a lost hour of income. A simple WhatsApp nudge the day before could fix that.

The pivot I'm considering: instead of a personal reminder app (crowded space), position it as "the simplest way for solopreneurs to send automated WhatsApp reminders to their clients."

A few things I'm genuinely unsure about:

- Is the WhatsApp angle actually a differentiator, or do people not care about the channel?

- Would you pay for this as a freelancer/solopreneur, or would you just use Calendly + Zapier?

- What's the first thing you'd want to see in an MVP?

Be sincere. I'd rather hear the hard truths now than after I've built it and loss a lot of time.

Thanks
