my solution seems right

def suggest(product_idea): return product_idea + "inator"

product_idea = str (input ("what is your idea? " )) if product_idea < 3: raise ValueError("Oh no") else : result = suggest(product_idea) print ("{}".format(result))

Without Markdown formatting, it's not possible to see if your indentation is correct.
But other issues that stand out are:

  • you should use the parameter given, you won't need to "input" anything
  • you will want to test the length of the string, not the string itself
  • when the test condition is met you only need to return the same result as the original did
  • you don't need the function to call itself, and that could cause a recursive loop
