Review my startup – AI customer twins for instant marketing validation


Hi HN! I'm Swati, and I've been working on resonaX (https://resonax.ai) - a tool that creates AI customer twins for instant marketing idea validation.

The Problem: As a B2B SaaS marketer, I was frustrated spending weeks trying to get customer interviews, only to get 2-3 responses. I needed quick feedback on brand positioning, messaging, landing pages, campaign ideas or sometimes asking questions about their buyer journey.

The Solution: resonaX creates digital twins of your ideal customers using their LinkedIn profiles or CRM data and behavioral data. You can validate marketing ideas instantly - no scheduling, no waiting.

How it works: Paste a LinkedIn URL → Get an AI twin in 30 seconds → Ask anything ("Would this headline make you click?" "What's your biggest objection?")

Early Results: 70 beta users, helping SaaS founders & marketers test everything from homepage copy to pricing pages to email subject lines.

What I'd love feedback on: - Does this solve a real problem you face? - Would you use something like this? - What concerns would you have about AI customer twins? - What are the use cases you would use it for mostly?

Currently in beta - happy to give HN folks free access in exchange for honest feedback!

Thanks for taking a look!

Very interesting idea. I like the approach of using AI to flesh out a persona.

I am skeptical of the accuracy of a detailed AI-generated response, but as a broad guide to what a type of user I don't know well might be thinking, this is clever.

It's useful beyond B2B, but you'd want to pitch it in terms of generating living personas rather than focusing on linkedin profiles.

From a product / CRO background more than marketing, I'd be thinking of it in terms of identifying any issues different types of users might find with a page.

It's a clever idea. I think maybe it's so novel it would be easy to miss the value. Consider making the landing copy more concretely value-related. "Drive business growth" is very broad. "Drive more inquiries" or whatever makes sense in your area.

Cool idea Swati!

My initial thoughts:

Embed the overview video and shorten it to a minute or less with a bit of polish.

I didn’t make a profile but I would include some defaults so people can try without having to grab a LinkedIn and hope it scrapes well.

How are you handling private LinkedIn pages?

How does a user know they get value from this? How do they know the responses are accurate and realistic?

May be worth seeing what type of people get generated the most and adding a few human advisors to take calls and further validate? Sort of a premium next step type thing.
