It took me some time, but I just published an article on exactly this questions - how machine learning is helpful to improve customer retention: ml4all.com/customer-lifetime-…

Awesome! 😎 I'm happy for you 😊

Hi Yuko,

you can express "analog" or "not-so-tech-savvy" people also with "People who have problems to use new tools" or "people for whom using technology in general and new tools especially is difficult". So - if it's difficult for them to adopt to what you find easy - maybe it is easier for you to adopt to what they find easy.
What do they find easy?
You could just ask them.. "What do you normally use when you are working together with somebody?"
Do you have a possibility to meet each other physically? A board with "Todo", "Doing" and "Done" sections and a couple of post-it notes can work miracles.
Apart from that keep it simple - the most basic project management tool is a todo-list. Old people tend to bsend excel-files via email... I know it's awkward, but if it does the job?

Hope that helps a bit.

Cheers,
Jonas

Hi Dennis,

I'm addicted to the indiehackers-podcast, so probably your target-audience :). I like the idea and concept and see a market. I am in general interested in your interviews.

I read one interview for a few paragraphs.. then went somewhere else. The internet today is not very friendly to long-form text, I'd say... Too many distractions.

I believe I would perceive your content as much more valuable if presented in better digestible format
- smaller paragraphs
- subheadings
- original quotes
...

Also... As you anyways do these interviews - wouldn't it be feasible to make a podcast out of them directly? You still can use the transcript for seo-purposes.
And I think video-interviews would be even better. Make one interview, distribute video, podcast, transcript.

E.g. - If and when you build your CLV model, ML can help you to have an individual CLV per user. I have an article on CLV and plan to write part two where I explain in detail how ML can help here

For me the core and center for every retention-centered business is CLV/LTV

You tell me - but in my humble opinion retentions your super-over-goal..

if you get just this one right, but f**ck up acquisition and referral you'll still be fine.

Simple but effective -
1. Calculate average CLV
2. Calculate statistical remaining CLV per user
2a. Your model needs to attribute for social impact / "referral strength" or something alike
3. Build simple model to estimate risk on each user
3. risk * remaining clv gives your priority

Decide every day - what should I work on? remove the highest risk..

I love the idea!

Shameless plug.. I built ml4all with exactly your thought-process in mind. Although early-stages and many features missing, it's functional. Whatever data you collect, you can quickly stick in in there and see what works. While often that might not be a big surprise, you have now data-validated facts instead of gut-feeling. And sometimes there are surprises.

You ask me to follow along - promised - I will! :)
This is exciting!
Cheers,
Jonas

Hi Artem,

I looked at your intro-text and the word "machine learning" rang a bell with me - as someone who works on ml everyday myself. Glanced your landing-page - looks very professional - check.

.."you'll actually use.." - let's see.
I Click "Sign up for free.." First I wanted to login with github, then I didn't want to give you access to all my repos - why would I?

In the meantime I got distracted by your little "We're live on ProductHunt"
I read a bit of your story - wow 2 years, the science of productivity... reads like something solid.

I commence to login/signup with Trello
I download the Desktop app.
I click add task and want to go working
It doesn't let me - "You need to estimate your time" or something alike.

..That's where you "lost" me..

It's really a personal thing and for many it will probably be an awesome tool. It looks and feels all very professional, well engineered and thought through.

However I believe I can only use your tool if I "obey" to your tools' workflow.
- log all time (I don't want to log my time)
- Estimate every task
- Plan the work and work the plan

It became kind of a principle to me that I evade all tools that require me to adapt - I seek, use tools that adapt to me.

Sorry, I think I sound harsh - but you asked to be roasted :)

I have been promoting and executing all of this quite strictly in the past - imho my attention/focus-system is well trained / worked out.

Now that I AM trained - the most productive thing for me is a simple todo-list. It takes split-seconds to tick-off things, review my current list and few seconds to add new things. It seamlessly integrates with notes, links, content. It's the by far fastest way to do my planning.
I use notion.so for that.

Your tool belongs into "Extended project management tooling" for me. I might reconsider it for my day-job where I work with teams. For personal productivity it's not my cup of tea.

Hi Stefan,

I recently (~6 months ago) learned frontend development using quasar/vue.js and with that became a "full-stack"-developer. since then it has made me complete so that I could actually start indiehacking =) the proud fruit of my work can be reviewed here: ml4all.com

Feel free to send along your questions - if email, why not [email protected]

Hi Russell, thanks a lot for the helpful review!
I wasn't around for a while and didn't see it.
The details (like customer reviews) were / are mising because the landing page "sold" a product that was not even started..

By now I have partially abandoned the idea / pivoted.

Still I DO learn from your thoughts.. thank you!
