Building something? Before you write more code, talk to real users who don’t owe you politeness.
Reality Check is a weekly AI Garage validation lab where founders bring an idea, landing page, prototype, Figma, WhatsApp demo, or MVP and pitch it directly to real people.
You’ll leave with what users actually understood, what confused them, who they think it’s for, and whether they would use it.
Most founders know they should talk to users.
But they avoid it because it feels awkward, unstructured, or hard to arrange.
Reality Check by AI Garage is a live founder-led validation lab where you bring your idea, landing page, prototype, Figma, WhatsApp demo, or MVP - and pitch it directly to real people.
This is not a demo day.
This is not a networking event.
This is not generic feedback from other founders.
You will sit across from potential users, pitch for 2 minutes, ask sharper questions, and observe what they actually understood.
AI Garage will help structure the session, capture responses, and synthesize patterns after the event.
Format: In-person
Duration: 2.5 hours
Capacity: 5-7 founders + 18–20 reality checkers
Founder/Reality Checker ticket: Free
Who this is for
This is best for founders/builders working on:
Consumer apps
AI tools
Productivity products
Learning/career products
Creator tools
Community/event products
Local commerce ideas
Student or working professional products
Early landing pages, prototypes, or MVPs
You don’t need a finished product.
You do need something you can explain or show in 2 minutes.
What you’ll do
Each founder will test their idea with multiple real people in short validation rounds.
For every round:
You pitch or demo your product for 2 minutes
The user explains what they understood
You ask follow-up questions
The user shares whether they would use/pay/share
Responses are captured for synthesis
The goal is not applause.
The goal is to find:
What people think your product does
Who they think it is for
What confuses them
