How to Figure Out What People Want
by Dan Shipper (6 mins)
- Traditional startup advice to "make something people want" is not actionable; instead, founders must engage in creative acts of provoking needs by presenting their own perspectives rather than trying to uncover objective, pre-existing needs.
- Effective product creation involves observing and responding to dynamic contexts, much like how language models generate sequences based on prompts, rather than discovering fixed, inherent desires.
- Becoming successful at understanding customer needs is a process of iterative learning, experimentation, and paying close attention to subtle cues, eventually allowing intuitive responses to emerge.
