How u know what is the length of product_idea? u need to use the len() function and do the check.

if len(product_idea) < 3:
   #do something

You're close, but you do not need to "input" anything for this challenge. The argument will be provided when the evaluator calls the function.

Also note the previous suggestion about testing the length of the string instead of the string itself.
