| 1 | # aicofounder Platform Help |
| 2 | |
| 3 | aicofounder (aicofounder.com) is an **AI "co-founder"** that walks solo founders through **structured |
| 4 | phases from idea to launch** — not a general chatbot. Its edge is **multi-agent deep market research |
| 5 | that scans Reddit and X for real demand signals** (grounding validation in actual discussions rather |
| 6 | than pure LLM opinion), plus idea validation, competitive analysis, a **visual product canvas**, a |
| 7 | **planning agent** (finds your biggest constraint → step-by-step tasks), a website builder, a content |
| 8 | calendar, and persistent project memory. Trusted by 90K+ founders. Because its research is grounded in |
| 9 | Reddit/X it's a **stronger gut check than a pure-LLM validator — but still not a substitute for your |
| 10 | own demand test**, and it has **no documented public API** (a UI tool). |
| 11 | |
| 12 | ## Step 1 — Gather context |
| 13 | |
| 14 | If `references/learnings.md` exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Ask only what you can't infer: |
| 17 | |
| 18 | 1. **What do you want from aicofounder?** |
| 19 | - A) Run the market-research / idea-validation phases and interpret the Reddit/X demand signals |
| 20 | - B) Use the planning agent / visual canvas to turn research into an action plan |
| 21 | - C) Understand the free monthly credits vs the paid plan |
| 22 | - D) Get the most out of its structured workflow (how to frame your idea) |
| 23 | 2. **Do you have a specific idea + target customer in mind?** The phased workflow needs a concrete starting point. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Skip-ahead: if the user wants the validate-before-building *method* or to compare validators, that's a |
| 26 | `/sales-idea-validation` question — route in Step 2. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | ## Step 2 — Route or answer directly |
| 29 | |
| 30 | | If the user's question is about… | Route to | |
| 31 | |---|---| |
| 32 | | The validate-before-building **method**, or comparing idea validators/co-pilots across the market | `/sales-idea-validation {question}` | |
| 33 | | A dedicated AI idea validator (instant score/report) rather than a phased co-pilot | `/sales-validator-ai {question}` | |
| 34 | | Reddit-based real-demand discovery as a standalone signal | `/sales-trendseeker {question}` | |
| 35 | | Growing a pre-launch **waitlist** / capturing real demand | `/sales-audience-growth {question}` | |
| 36 | |
| 37 | When routing, give the exact command: "This is a {domain} question — run: `/sales-idea-validation {original question}`" |
| 38 | |
| 39 | Otherwise, answer aicofounder-specific questions using Step 3. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | ## Step 3 — aicofounder platform reference |
| 42 | |
| 43 | **Read `references/platform-guide.md`** for the full reference — the phase/feature lineup (research, |
| 44 | validation, canvas, planning agent, website builder, content calendar), the free-credits vs paid |
| 45 | split and best-effort pricing, how to frame an idea for the most useful research, and the |
| 46 | no-public-API automation reality. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | Answer using only the relevant section — don't dump the full reference. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | ## Step 4 — Actionable guidance |
| 51 | |
| 52 | - **Lean on the Reddit/X demand research — it's the strongest part — but still confirm with your own |
| 53 | test.** aicofounder's edge over a pure-LLM validator is that it grounds validation in real Reddit/X |
| 54 | discussions, so treat those demand signals as genuinely useful evidence. Still tell the user that an |
| 55 | AI-synthesized research summary is not the same as a stranger taking an action — confirm the go/no-go |
| 56 | with a smoke test / pre-sale (route the method to `/sales-idea-validation`). |
| 57 | - **Frame a concrete idea + target customer before running the phases.** The structured workflow and |
| 58 | research quality depend on a specific starting point (who it's for, the exact problem, and current |
| 59 | stage) — a vague idea yields a vague plan. Have the user fill the context richly, then let the phases build on it. |
| 60 | - **Use the planning agent's output as an editable plan, not gospel.** The "biggest constraint → tasks" |
| 61 | output and the generated plan are AI drafts — have the user san |
