Automate Multi-Tab Processes

Jack describes a business pattern of taking complex, multi-step processes that people "have to do" and dramatically simplifying them into a streamlined experience. This creates opportunities by reducing friction and time investment for necessary tasks.

Key Examples:

  • Travel Booking (Kayak)

    • Problem: Users visiting multiple sites to compare options
    • Solution: Consolidated all travel options into one platform
    • Result: Single destination for all travel booking needs
  • Healthcare Access (Hims/Hers)

    • Original Process:
      • Calling doctor's office
      • Scheduling appointment
      • Waiting room time
      • Pharmacy visits
    • Solution: 5-minute telemedicine process on phone
    • Target: Next generation who typically don't engage with healthcare system
  • Home Selling (Opendoor)

    • Problem: Long, anxiety-inducing house selling process
    • Solution: Website where users can:
      • Input house details
      • Receive immediate purchase offer
      • Sell quickly

Pattern Identification:

  • Look for situations where people have multiple tabs open to complete one task
  • Find processes that are:
    • Necessary but time-consuming
    • Have multiple manual steps
    • Create user frustration
    • Could be dramatically simplified through technology
