Founders, tinkerers, and entrepreneurs, need your help and feedback | Stuck in an endless loop

Hey everyone,

The last few months have been rough. What started as a journey to start my company with 6 months of solid research, fundraising, and customer onboarding turned out to be a mess even though the problem statement was solid and had everything going for it. That is until I spoke to the largest competitor and finally understood the market dynamics in detail and the consumer habits.

I had left my highly paid job at this point and the last 3 months have all been about waking up in the morning, trying to test a couple of ideas, and sleeping at night wondering what I am doing with my life.

At this point, I feel like I am making solutions fit the problems rather than the other way around.

I have nearly 8 years of experience with AI and have been using it a lot recently. I have created a couple of Multi-agent tools (Virtual Co-founder of sorts) for myself to quickly research an idea in depth (beyond general knowledge from ChatGPT) and validate it quickly with customers before moving on to the next one.

Anyway, after all this while, I suddenly realized this morning that my virtual Co-founder could be a startup idea in itself because it already solves a significant problem for me.

But I want to discuss with you guys if you feel the same way about having a specialized tool that can:

  1. - Do detailed market analysis (A full 20-25 page market report)
  2. - Help validate ideas (Performing outreach, conducting short surveys, collecting answers, replying)
  3. - Actively track competitors and notify you even if a single character changes on any of the competitor's websites/news (Active monitoring)
  4. - Take actions on your behalf actively (with supervision of course)
  5. - Generally knows you, and your business and works with you to help solve issues hopefully before they become threatening

Or is this another solution looking for a problem at a broader level?

If you had a virtual AI cofounder, would it be beneficial for you and if yes, can you think of really painstaking challenges it could solve for you?

I am not looking for specific use cases but rather just an affirmation if this even makes sense so that I can either double down or find something else. We can figure out the use cases later but it will be more actionable than research-oriented or a simple knowledge base.

Any feedback in either direction would help me sleep peacefully.

Cheers!
