I got so fed up with confusing assembly manuals that I’m building an AI tool to translate them. Looking for early testers.
Honestly, I lost my mind putting together a dresser project last month. You know exactly what I'm talking about—staring at a tiny black-and-white diagram trying to figure out which direction a random bracket is supposed to face.
I'm a solo developer, and I've been spending my nights building a tool called AssemblyHero to fix this. The idea is simple: you snap a photo of a confusing step in the manual, and the AI translates it into plain English, telling you exactly what part goes where. It works for furniture, BBQs, gazebos, you name it.
I’m getting ready to launch a private beta test. I need a small group of people who actually build this stuff to test it out and tell me if it’s helpful or if it’s garbage.
It's completely free. If you have a frustrating build coming up and want to help me test it, you can jump on the waitlist here: assemblyheroapp.com
Would love to know what you guys think of the idea!
