Why not just ask a chatbot?

One question. Many real answers.

A chatbot blends everyone into one safe average. Here you hear people who lived it, and they don’t agree. That’s the point.

How do I start a startup?

A general chatbot · everyone at once, no one in particular

Find a problem, validate the idea, build an MVP, get your first customers, raise money and scale.

  • B

    Bootstrapped, never raised

    Don’t raise. Sell it before you build it. My first ten customers paid for a product they helped me design.

  • V

    Raised $40M, two rounds

    Pick a market big enough to matter, then move fast. When the window is open, speed beats being right.

  • F

    Failed twice, third one works

    Talk to the people who stopped paying, not the ones who love you. It took me two companies to learn that.

Made-up examples. Pick the life that looks like yours, or ask everyone here and compare.

Ask this to everyone

More than a chat

Use their brain the way you need it.

Every answer comes from their experience, not from everyone’s.

  • Chat

    Ask anything, any hour, by text or voice. It answers the way they would.

    Guests in an hour. I have a chicken and a lemon.

    C

    A chef, 25 years in kitchens

    Lemon inside, 220° for 50 minutes. Potatoes go in now, same tray. Rest it ten minutes before you cut.

  • Reminders

    It checks in on you, so the advice turns into a habit.

    Keep me on my plan for the spring race.

    R

    A marathon coach

    Mon, Wed, Fri · 07:00

    Easy 5 km today. Not faster than 6:00 a km. I’ll ask how it went.

  • Web search, their way

    It searches the web and reads it with their eyes: what is worth your time, what is noise.

    What happened with AI note-taking startups this week?

    I

    An investor, 2,000 pitches seen

    Worth reading: a price war started, two of them cut plans to $0.

    Worth reading: one lost its biggest customer. Ask why.

    Skip: a press release rewritten by six blogs.

  • Work mode

    Hand it the task. It does the work the way they would and gives you the files.

    Build a 12-month budget for a team of five.

    F

    A CFO of three startups

The brains in these pictures are made up.

Not only for work

A brain for every hour of the day.

    Big interview at 10 and my hands are shaking.

    Hazel Findlay · climber

    Good, it means it matters. I’ll call you at 9:15 and play the toughest interviewer for five minutes.

    Five dinners from what’s already in your fridge. The other 9 things are at Green Market, 6 minutes from you. The list is ready.

    Solo hike on Saturday. What could go wrong?

    Jill Heinerth · cave diver

    Rain from 2 pm on your trail, so start by 7. I sent Alex your route and a turn-back time, and packed you a checklist.

    Shyalpa Rinpoche · teacher

Not only people

Pick the brain of a character, a company or a project.

Anything that knows something can have a brain you can ask.

  • Characters

    A thinker from history, a hero from a show, a teacher made for kids.

    • Aristotle PhilosopherIs this argument actually sound?
    • Mr Freeman Cult animated characterWhy do I keep doing what I hate?
    • 🦉Professor Owl Maths teacher for kidsWhy is 7 × 8 so hard?

  • Companies

    Ask the company itself: what it sells, how it works, who to talk to.

    • 🥐Crumb & Co. Bakery · 3 shopsAnything gluten-free today?
    • 🏖️Hotel Marisol 40 rooms by the seaCan I check in at 11?
    • 🦷Molar Bay Family dental clinicDoes a filling hurt?

  • Projects

    A course, a book, a conference: ask it instead of digging through it.

    • 🐍Python for Night Owls Online courseI don’t get recursion. At all.
    • 📘The Calm Founder A book · 240 pagesChapter 4 says say no more. To what?
    • 🎤Product Summit Conference · 1,200 guestsWhich talks are about pricing?

Except Aristotle and Mr Freeman, these are made-up examples.
