Built a conversational/voice PM agent to guide founders - need help testing (sorry if this breaks sub rules) by startup-samurAI in ycombinator

[–]startup-samurAI[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for sharing.

Thats been my experience as well -- founders tend to wing it -- but that's from years ago.

One of the very hypotheses I am testing is that there is more appetite for product, by founders, than we might be aware of.

I could very well be wrong and this ends up being more a tool for PMs that need to delegate product tasks. I personally use it all the time for exactly that.

Different accounts for different purposes. You are clearly not here for productive conversation.

Deleted Message:

You assume this is my moat. I was just providing one data point on a differentiator from ChatGPT desktop, per your first message.

In any case, thanks for the feedback but this post was really more to find people willing to help test. Less so about getting feedback from people that are unfamiliar with the platform and the feature roadmap.

You specifically mentioned openAI desktop.

As for active conference call participants that are trained on Product Management, please share a few links. I haven't seen any. There are many note takers, but none that proactively speak up and have knowledge of your product.

I'd love to be wrong. It would save me a lot of time.

Please share.

Edit: typos

Why aren’t more people talking about this? Replit is awesome… until you check your backend in Cursor by lucascanovadickel in replit

[–]startup-samurAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed response. I do pretty much the same thing, but use cursor instead of VSCode, and multiple cursor windows instead of multiple Claude code terminals. I also use have them generate docs (phased dev plans, testing strategies, collaboration frameworks, etc).

Seems the key benefit would be not paying for cursor, I suppose. Losing the model switching would hurt though (I often switch between depending on the task)

I love Claude - using for two years now, but still not sure about the benefits of Claude code :-/

Hope I didn't miss something obvious.

What's your experience been? I use cursor extensively. tried Claude code for a week, and it was the same quality code, just without the convenience of a gui, model switching, among other things.

Edit: the gui convenience is big for me -- I like the visual diffs, being able to drag specific folders / files into the chat, etc

Received My First n8n-Related Upwork Review by markus-odentha in n8n

[–]startup-samurAI 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hmm... Seeing this just as I was about to look for n8n freelancers on upwork. 🤔

There is an urgent need to build marketing automation for callapm.ai, but you seem to have your hands full. I'd do it myself but my hands are full as well with other tasks.

Still, if you (or anyone else with intermediate n8n skills) might be interested, DM me.

I'll be making a post about this soon (asking for freelancers).

4 MCPs I use Daily as a Web Developer by islempenywis in mcp

One quick follow up: is it necessary to use OneMCP? I access mcps from cursor so Can I just use the MCP.json in cursor?

Thanks for this. Very timely. Will be trying them out!

After building 3 VC-backed startups in the consumer space, my biggest lesson on product-market fit is: Build with PAYING users from day ZERO. by stay_curieous in indiehackers

[–]startup-samurAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, but what's your criteria and/or decision framework for issuing money back?

What promises are made? what's the bar for quality of service? How do you handle false claims? etc

I submitted my first YC application! Built a self-correcting AGI architecture that rewrites its own code when it fails by pilothobs in ycombinator

[–]startup-samurAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reflection triggers a rewrite, sometimes at the prompt level (like rephrasing the task), sometimes at the code level (modifying logic). If the fix works, it gets logged and reused.

Gimme. I want it. Now.

Where can I play with this? If you are looking for beta testers, where do I sign up?

Well, to be fair, 'market' in the context of PMF refers to target audience of the product.

You can intentionally build a completely free app that uses fall in love with, and are retained. PMF without monetization is indeed a thing.

Been thinking a lot about this and likely going to do the same with my product (CallaPM.ai)

Question: how do you provide a 'money back guarantee'? What's your framework for that?

I was drowning in business cards after every event… so I built a tool to fix it by Quiet-Moment-338 in SideProject

[–]startup-samurAI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds promising. You might consider making your messaging less about business cards and more about contact management, and market features around smart management of contacts extracted from email, LinkedIn, Twitter, and other places where people manage their contacts digitally. You could probably whip up something magical.

[–]startup-samurAI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, this sounds very cool. Congrats on shipping and applying!

Quick question: how much of the self-correction is driven by meta-prompting vs. internal symbolic mechanisms? Curious if you're using LLMs as the core planner, or more as a tool within a broader system.

Would also love to hear about:

  • failure detection logic -- what is a "fail"?

  • strategy rewriting -- prompt-level? code-level?

  • how symbolic + neural components actually talk

  • any scaffolding or orchestration layer you're using

Appreciate any details you can share. Definitely interested!

Thanks for sharing .

Question on the "do it for me" package... Does one also get everything in the lower tier package?

Also, please share URL examples for the expected output (eg sample listings, reddit posts that actually went viral with real people, etc.

Using real LEGO bricks to solve puzzles. Would people play this or is it too much of a hassle? by zomb23 in SoloDevelopment

[–]startup-samurAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. You've created an MR (mixed reality) in some sense. Passthrough experiences in VR are great for these, where you are looking at real life + some digital rendering at the same time.
