Liar, Liar!

Imagine a former classmate you didn’t really like calls you. Now they’re in your city and ready to stay at your place for a whole week.

Or this: your coworkers suddenly decide to assign you a rush task — creating 20 layouts — and it’s already Friday evening. But you’re a polite person. Wouldn’t it be great to have a “Polite Refusal Generator” so you wouldn’t have to come up with excuses every single time?

So, let me introduce the Duck-off app!

What’s the idea?

It’s all about the duck. The English idiom “duck off” means to quietly slip away or sneak out of a situation.

This cute little duck in your app will always be your partner in crime!

But before we dive into the app, let’s quickly review the analytics.

Our goal:

To provide a quick and fun tool for generating excuses for any life situation.

Who’s our user:

1. Young professionals and college students

**Demographics:** People aged 18–35 juggling work, studies, and social commitments.

**Need:** They often need excuses to miss deadlines, skip events, or explain delays.

2. Social media enthusiasts and content creators

**Demographics:** Social media users, from teens to adults, who enjoy sharing content.

**Need:** They look for content ideas, and shareable excuses fit right in.

We’ll use the ChatGPT API to generate our excuses. It’s the simplest and most flexible solution.

What’s our scenario:

Our mom is coming to visit. We love her dearly, but now is clearly not the best time.

Here’s how it works:

1. Open the app

2. Find a ready-made template

3. Search for the perfect excuse

4. Ask to make it a bit more polite

5. Select the ideal excuse and send it to mom via messenger.
