This is useful but not to decide whether to work on an idea or not. Most initial ideas are going to exist somewhere around the world but they may not focus on the angle that we are interested in. So, I think this is more useful as a way to understand existing approaches and see if our insights can lead to a meaningfully different solution.

@anyg you're absolutely right, and Prexist is not there to determine whether to work on an idea or not. It just tells you how you should plan your product and compare it with existing solutions.

A one shot cross-platform product research, before working on your idea goes a long way, and can save you multiple hours of going through different platforms.
