Hi all — long-time lurker, first real post.
I’m a software person who’s been talking to a lot of online instructors (mostly coding bootcamp side, but the problem seems universal). One thing keeps coming up: in a live online class, the room doesn’t broadcast back. You ask “any questions?”, get the same two students who always ask, and move on. The rest is invisible until the next assignment.
So I want to ask the actual experts. When you’re teaching live online:
• What signals do you use to tell if students are with you?
• How often do you find out after class that something didn’t land?
• Have you ever wished you’d noticed something during a session that you only saw afterward in the assignments / next class?
Quick disclosure: I’m building something in this space — a tool that listens during live sessions and flags when the chat goes quiet, when questions are clustering, or when attention drops. It’s called Claryoo. I’m not here to sell it (it’s not even open yet) — I’m here because if the problem I’m building for isn’t the problem you actually have, I’d rather find out now than ship something nobody wants.
Honest answers welcome. Even “no, this isn’t a real problem” is useful — that’s a real signal too.

I have always failed to distribute my saas. Tried every place like Reddit, product hunt, seo, aeo, cold emails.

From doing all these I got 75 users signed but no paid users and eventually had to shut down.

Technical issue was never the hardest and as we moving on with the AI era. Code is becoming cheap.

Again changed my playbook building another startup which is of course not another tool wrapped over ChatGPT but real problem and looks like getting a good traction got few super user to pilot the project

So far what I learnt is if you really want to get into saas

- Starting thinking of distribution
- create a product which actually solves problem which is not distributed by ai next day. AI should be your OS of the system which you minimise users time and efforts to X work

Sharing you the Claryoo - The co-host for the meeting ,still in testing.

Problem statement - In online meeting the host usually misses the some of the vital information going on in the meeting which make it boring and non-engaging.

We simply listens to your meeting room. Tracks each every events going on such as transcript, messages, participants events. And send the host a small pop up alerts while if critical comes and suggest you the next move that you can try to make more effective.

Now what is aha! moment that we surface
- most non engaging users
- What people are asking with question clustering
- Links, emails, phone numbers once share can be used post session so no more guessing
- Summarise you meeting so far
- Run polls and jackpot to engage users

To whom it fits
- Instructors
- Webinars
- Training
- Sales pitch

Let me know your thoughts on this and be brutal honest.

Live sessions: •
people respond questions arise chat’s alive But as a host, you don’t know: who’s lost what’s important if the silence is good or bad
Looks like the data exists… just isn't usable in real time. 👉 I’m curious - is this a problem for anyone else?
