What this panel suggests
The dominant reason people would not try Remy this month is not that they dislike the concept; it is that they fear it adds another layer of management. Several responses frame the product as “another layer of communication” or “another silo,” which is notable because the page promises “no app to open” and a simple text-thread workflow. In other words, the concern is not the app store experience but the possibility of yet another channel they must remember to check. A second pattern is satisfaction with existing low-tech routines: some already self-text reminders, keep paper notebooks, or use basic spreadsheets, so they don’t see an urgent need to switch. That makes Remy feel like a new habit to maintain rather than a simplification. Price is not the primary blocker, but the subset who gave a number stayed in the low single digits per month, and the aggregate willingness-to-pay sits at $3 low / $4 median / $6 high. The clearest opportunity is for people who already use text-based self-reminders but want more proactive nudges.
Pricing & positioning
Hypothesis: lead with a free, no-card trial and keep the paid tier in the low single digits; the main barrier appears to be perceived overhead, not price.
Among respondents who named a number, the maximum acceptable monthly price clustered between $3 and $6. Price looks secondary to perceived friction, so messaging should emphasize net reduction in effort and easy cancellation.

Objections to investigate
- Would add another thing to manage rather than reduce work
- Could become another text stream/silo to monitor
- Current free or low-cost self-reminder system is already adequate

Krista BrakusneutralCurrently, I handle my 'later' list by sending myself text messages, which feels pretty integrated into my existing workflow. While Remy's concept of an AI coach in my texts is intriguing, especially the idea of a morning plan, midday nudge, and evening recap, I'm concerned about adding another layer of communication to manage. My biggest hurdle is the mental overhead of tracking multiple platforms; I'm always looking to streamline, not add. The integration with Google Calendar is a plus, but I'd need to see how seamlessly it fits without creating more digital noise. I'd be willing to pay up to $4 per month for this service, provided it genuinely simplifies my task management.

Shawn HaneneutralMy current system is a patchwork of tools, which is exactly what I'm trying to improve. I use Todoist for my personal tasks, Jira for technical follow-ups, and Slack/Outlook for team reminders. This fragmentation means I'm constantly bridging gaps. The idea of an AI coach in my texts is intriguing, especially the "no app to open" aspect. However, I'm hesitant to introduce another tool into my already complex workflow. What stops me is the fear of another system to manage, and whether it can truly integrate or just become another silo. I'd be willing to pay up to $6 per month for this, but only if it demonstrably reduces my cognitive load and streamlines my existing processes.

Cecile HallmannneutralHonestly, my current system, while a bit of a hybrid, works fairly well for me. I meticulously track deadlines and billable hours in a spreadsheet, and I use my paper planner for the overall weekly structure. For quick things, WhatsApp is sufficient. While the idea of an AI coach in my texts is intriguing, especially the "no app to open" part, I'm concerned about adding another communication channel to manage. My biggest hurdle would be integrating it seamlessly without creating information overload. I'd be willing to try it if it truly simplifies my workflow, perhaps for $4 per month, but I'd need to see how it handles the nuances of client communication without getting in the way.
Simulated interest: 30/100
Bhoj PillaneutralWhat would stop me? Well, I already use a mix of Jira, Google Keep, and a WhatsApp chat for my tasks, along with physical sticky notes. Integrating another system, even one that texts, might just add to the complexity rather than simplify it. I'm also trying to build a habit of consolidating my notes, so the idea of tasks living in a text thread might feel like it's scattering them further. It's hard to say what I'd pay, but honestly, the current system, though chaotic, is free. If it proved it could genuinely reduce my mental load and integrate seamlessly, perhaps I'd consider something around $3-$4 per month, but I'm not convinced it's necessary yet.

Hortense DupuynegativeThis Remy sounds interesting, but I manage tasks across several platforms already: my pocket notebook, Apple Notes, email flags, and an Excel sheet for office tasks. Integrating another system, even one that texts, seems like it could become just another thing to track. My primary concern is the risk of information falling between these systems, which could happen with Remy as well if it doesn't perfectly sync with my current methods or if I forget to input things. It could be useful for those small, personal reminders, but for the studio's operations, my current multi-pronged approach, while imperfect, is what I'm accustomed to. I'm not sure if the value proposition outweighs the potential complexity for my specific role. I would not pay for this service.

Arturo Ordóñez DueñasneutralHonestly, the idea of another system, even one that lives in texts, makes me a little hesitant. I've got Trello for my main tasks, Gmail stars for follow-ups, and text for quick approvals. It's a bit chaotic, I admit, but it's what I'm used to. The thought of adding another layer, even if it's just texts, feels like it might add more overhead than it solves right now. I recently turned down a project specifically because the communication was too much. I'm not sure I want to introduce something else that could get lost in the shuffle. I would be willing to pay up to $3 per month, but only if it genuinely streamlined my workflow without adding complexity.

Alison EffertzneutralWhat would stop me? Right now, my personal action items are split between Asana tasks and Outlook reminders, which feels chaotic enough. The idea of another communication channel, even if it's just texts, makes me a bit hesitant. I worry about it becoming another silo or something I'll forget to check. However, the "no app to open" and "AI coach in your texts" aspects are intriguing, especially for those nagging personal to-dos that I tend to let slip. My maximum would be $6 per month, as that's the advertised monthly rate and feels reasonable for a personal productivity tool. I would need to see clear evidence it integrates well without adding more noise to my day.

Emir PostneutralWhat would stop me from trying Remy? Honestly, it's the potential for another tool that requires setup and management, adding to the mental load. Right now, I rely on Monday.com for team tasks and a personal Google Sheet for my follow-ups, with alarms for deadlines. The idea of something living in texts is intriguing, but I'd need to be convinced it genuinely simplifies things without creating more overhead. I'm willing to pay up to $5 per month for a service like this, provided it proves its value in reducing context-switching and ensuring nothing slips through.
Simulated interest: 60/100
Kerry OrnneutralHonestly, the biggest thing stopping me is that I already have a system that works for me, even if it's a bit low-tech. I use my iPhone Notes app for my to-do lists and a paper notebook for my weekly schedule, which is pretty solid. Plus, client approvals come through DMs and WhatsApp, so I'm already getting notifications there. It feels like adding another thing might just make my phone even busier, and I try to keep things simple. I could see myself paying around $3 per month for something like this, but only if it genuinely made my current process way smoother and didn't add extra steps.

Gotum MenonnegativeThis Remy service, an AI coach via text, sounds interesting for personal reminders. However, my current challenge is managing operational tasks for my logistics firm. We rely on Excel, SMS, and WhatsApp for team coordination, dispatch changes, and vendor calls. While I appreciate efficiency, integrating a new tool for personal tasks isn't a priority right now. My focus is on improving our existing systems to avoid errors and delays in our operations. Perhaps if it integrated directly with our work communication channels and could help manage our vendor communications or dispatch, I'd reconsider. As it stands, it's not something I can justify time or expense for at this moment. The cost of $6/mo seems reasonable for personal use, but I wouldn't pay more than that.
