Apologies for delays on my side - thank you for being patient - catching up with each of you in the chat, more exercises, support, coming you way! We've been out in Doha, now Madinah, then Makkah, got something special for you all God willing!

May the ummah flourish with knowledge, compassion and unity, following the example of our beloved Prophet ﷺ. May your path be blessed with barakah, your insights continue revealing what others miss, and your work bring benefit to many. May we all rise together, reflecting his mercy and wisdom in everything we build.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Ameen.

Hope inshaAllah everyone is well!!

Really well done to the folks who've been killing it with the exercises! Now for something different! This may take you longer depending on your proficiency with AI but give these 3 , (yes 3 now!) AI exercises a try before we go back into deep thinking mode! 1. Problem Verification AI tools like Perplexity can search for people actively complaining about the problem you want to solve. Or simply feed Reddit threads, forum posts, and review sites into ChatGPT. Let it extract patterns of pain. No real pain = dead idea. Select your tool of choice and ask it to research forums and other places to understand this deeply. 2. Market Size Analysis If the pain is real, check if enough people have it. Let AI analyze Google Trends, search volume, and TAM (total addressable market) data. Create detailed spreadsheets of potential users. Too small = dead idea. 3. Competitor Assessment Feed AI your top 5 competitors' websites, pricing pages, and customer reviews. Ask it to identify gaps and oversaturation. Create a map of what's missing in the market. No clear advantage = dead idea. Share the core of your findings below 👇 E.g 1: validated through Reddit posts (feel free to give more details on this exercise) 2: My research tells me my market isn't big enough, but there's an adjacent market that may be and it's X 3: Given my findings from above , I refined X about my proposition and found that no competitors can compete with us on Y and Z

Peace and blessings upon you all! The next exercise is up in the class room! This one has been a game changer for a lot of folks on this course in previous years - reframing how we think about target customers- by resonating deeply with how they see themselves, coupling this with viability, relevancy and commercialization. Let's get cracking for the next exercise - upload your exercises and comment below!
