Hey everyone. I've been working on a tool called Forgetti to handle high-volume inboxes, and I'm finally starting to see some initial traffic to the site (stats in the screenshot).

The problem is, my waitlist signups are completely flat at zero.

For context: It’s an AI triage service for Gmail and Outlook. It reads incoming mail via Claude, scores it 0–100 for actual urgency (separating a vital update from a generic newsletter), and splits the inbox into Focus and Buried piles so you only see what genuinely needs your attention.

Because giving an AI access to a professional inbox is a massive hurdle, the entire architecture is strictly read-only OAuth. It physically cannot reply, send, delete, or modify a single thing. A human is always the mandatory checkpoint to leave the building.

But clearly, something on the landing page is causing people to bounce immediately without dropping their email.

If you look at the traffic vs. signups, what do you think the main barrier is? Is the "AI + inbox" combo just too heavy of a psychological trust hurdle for busy professionals, or is my positioning failing to explain the value properly?

Would really appreciate any advice from other builders who have launched tools in a high-privacy space on how to get those first few signups off the ground.

hey guys, looking for some honest advice on how to get my project off the ground because right now, i'm flatlining.

i’ve been driving some initial traffic to my site (stats in the screenshot), but conversion is dead at zero. literally nobody is signing up for the waitlist.

for context, i built an ai email triage tool for gmail/outlook because i was drowning in 100+ emails a day. it basically uses an llm to read incoming mail, score it 0–100 based on actual urgency, and hide the noise so you only see the 5% that genuinely requires a human reply.

i knew people would be paranoid about security, so it's built on strictly read-only oauth. it physically cannot send, reply, delete, or modify anything. your inbox stays yours, it just filters the noise.

but looking at these zero signups, i'm starting to think that the second a professional sees "ai" and "inbox" in the same sentence, they just close the tab.

if you’ve launched a tool in a high-privacy or sensitive space, how did you get over this initial hump? is my positioning just failing to explain the value, or is an ai email app an immediate dealbreaker for people?

brutal feedback appreciated.
