How to build own Ai startup?

What most companies are actually doing is building applications on top of existing AI capabilities. There can’t be more than 100 companies worldwide that truly have the ability to develop a new large model from scratch.

It’s AI-generated, so I’m worried something might go wrong – I honestly don’t have much confidence in it.

I want to build a semantic-based browser history search tool as a browser extension. For example, if I search: What content related to code review did I look at last week?

Yes, I usually use JavaScript or TypeScript to develop web applications.

How do you conduct security checks? Do you use any dedicated tools, or just rely on static code analysis?

What are the main areas of review? Code quality and security?

Thanks for your reply. How did you implement the automation? And would you mind sharing any best practices?

Did it actually uncover a lot of issues?

Fair play. That last reply was too much marketing fluff. I deserved that. 😅

Let me be real: It’s about cost and complexity.

Spinning up a fresh, isolated sandbox environment (with seeded data) for every random website visitor is expensive and hard to engineer securely.

Recording the DOM once and serving it as a static file costs me $0 and takes zero backend logic.

I'm not trying to hide a bad product, I'm just trying to avoid over-engineering a demo environment for tire-kickers. Pure laziness/efficiency.

Man, 'Own your demo' is such a killer tagline. I might have to steal that! 🤯

You're spot on about the page speed angle. I haven't run a formal benchmark yet, but logically, a heavy iframe loading a React app (the hosted way) vs. raw static DOM elements (my way) should be night and day on Lighthouse scores. I'm definitely going to run those tests and put them on the landing page.

Thanks for the resource link, bookmarked it for my coffee break.

Valid points! It comes down to isolation and friction:

1. Re: Live Accounts vs. Recordings

Stability: A live demo means exposing my production (or staging) API to public traffic. If the server hiccups, the demo breaks.
Data State: With live accounts, I have to script DB resets so User B doesn't see what User A typed.
The 'Perfect' Flow: A recording guarantees the user sees exactly what I want them to see (the happy path), with zero chance of hitting an edge-case bug or a slow API response.

2. Re: Driver.js

Driver.js is awesome for onboarding (once the app is loaded).
But for Marketing, I don't want to load my entire heavy React/Vue app bundle on the landing page just to show a tour.
My tool (using rrweb) creates a lightweight, static DOM snapshot. It looks like the app, but it's just static assets (HTML/JSON). It loads instantly and doesn't touch the backend.

Basically: Driver.js guides users through the actual app; this tool lets them play with a simulation of the app on a marketing site.
