AI assistant founder says consumers value saving money more than saving time

Zach Gadagari believes saving time matters to busy people, entrepreneurs, and those working on complex projects, but that the average consumer does not particularly value time. In his view, consumers care more about saving or making money. He said AI assistants are already good at such tasks, but users often do not know what to use these services for.

His team is therefore trying to refine onboarding so users see value immediately. Gadagari gave the example that showing someone the service had just saved them $100 could turn that person into a lifelong user. That is his product hypothesis, not a confirmed outcome.
