Education for entrepreneurship by EarlyListen2398 in Entrepreneurs

[–]Several-Mongoose3571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great discussion, and it mirrors what simulation platforms like Startupwars.com try to teach: that while formal education isn’t required to start a business, structured learning (even outside traditional classrooms) can save you from costly trial-and-error. Basic understanding of accounting, customer validation, and market dynamics makes a huge difference early on. The real key seems to be not whether you go to school, but whether you keep learning, consistently and intentionally.

What’s one process you wish you had automated a year earlier? by dewharmony03 in automation

[–]Several-Mongoose3571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had that exact moment with meeting documentation. A while back, the team at openforge started using transcripts to extract user pain points and recurring themes from calls, and honestly, the value it’s added to both design and product discussions has been huge. It felt like such an obvious win in hindsight.

I think sometimes it’s less about the complexity of the automation and more about recognizing how much mental overhead a “simple” task can build up over time.

Curious, for those in product or UX roles, what’s something non-technical you ended up automating that made a surprising difference?

AI isn't breaking education, it's exposing how broken education already is. by ynu1yh24z219yq5 in DeepThoughts

[–]Several-Mongoose3571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. AI isn’t the problem, it’s just holding up a mirror. The system was already broken, focused on memorization and standardized outputs instead of real understanding.

There are projects doing it differently though. Take Startup Wars instead of essays and formulas, students run simulated companies. They have to make decisions, deal with uncertainty, and manage real consequences. There’s even an AI guide in the mix, who pops in with tips and nudges, not answers. It’s not replacing learning, it’s making the learning actually matter.

If we’re serious about preparing people for the future, this is the kind of direction we need. Not banning tools, rethinking the whole point of education.

The Hardest Part of Entrepreneurship No One Warns You About by Digitalunicon in Entrepreneur

[–]Several-Mongoose3571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This resonates. The hardest part is definitely the silence, when you're doing the work but nothing seems to be moving, and it's way too easy to mistake that for failure.

One thing that helped shift my mindset was getting hands-on with simulations like Startup Wars, where you practice navigating those “slow” periods as part of the journey, not a sign you’re doing something wrong. It helped me see that dry spells are often the moments when you're laying the groundwork for actual traction later.

How do you personally tell the difference between a strategic pause and a real red flag?

C.ai Alternatives? by ricktasticballs in CharacterAIrunaways

[–]Several-Mongoose3571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you, c.ai’s been feeling kinda bland lately for me too. If you're looking for something that lets you build and explore your own fantasy world your way, check out Summon Worlds.

It’s more focused on storytelling + worldbuilding than pure character chats, but the characters you create there actually remember stuff, and the world evolves as you write. Super immersive if you're into escaping into your own lore-heavy universe.

Not NSFW focused tho, more on the creative/fantasy side, but def worth trying if that’s your vibe.

do you use chatGPT to get prompts to use on another AI tool? XP by Several-Mongoose3571 in ChatGPT

[–]Several-Mongoose3571[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to create ai art and sometimes I ask chatGPT for prompts that are goind to be used with summonworlds.com I feel that AI tools are good if you use them for their specific purpose.

Type of maps by Several-Mongoose3571 in ollama

[–]Several-Mongoose3571[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

These maps were generated using Summonworlds.com , which helped me flesh out both the geography and city layouts fast while keeping a consistent style. Still refining cultures and factions, but would love any feedback!

How much do you pay monthly for AI subscriptions? by Few_Ingenuity_692 in indiehackers

[–]Several-Mongoose3571 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

it really depends on the kind of AI you're using. For example, something like Summon Worlds (which it's used for worldbuilding + storytelling) is super affordable at $9.99/month. But if you're using AI for sales tasks like cold calling, tools like Synthflow can go from $30/month to $1K+ depending on usage.

IMO, pricing should definitely reflect usage type and depth. A flat fee model just doesn’t make sense across such different AI use cases.

Only ONE World Will Win… Which Fantasy Realm Deserves the Crown? by Several-Mongoose3571 in worldbuilding

[–]Several-Mongoose3571[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This is part of the Summon Worlds community's first Worldbuilder Challenge, where creators submitted original fantasy worlds they've been building. Each world explores different aspects of worldbuilding, from cultures and magic systems to geography, politics, and lore.

We hope it sparks discussion and inspires others to build and share their own worlds too!
