our call

Start with Vouch — highest vibe code, weakest moat.

FeedbackExpress

The underlying logic is just a scheduled cron task calling Amazon's Solicitations API for delivered orders. However, obtaining approved developer access for Amazon SP-API and maintaining compliance with Amazon Data Protection Policy is a major barrier for direct self-hosting.

Vouch

Vouch orchestrates guided video recording prompts, automated transcribing, and embeddable wall-of-love widgets. The core functionality—browser video capture via MediaRecorder API, Cloudflare R2/S3 storage, and OpenAI Whisper transcription—can be prototyped in a weekend. You lose proprietary AI clip trimming and deep CRM sync plugins.
