What aicofounder does better

Tools to build products that people actually want.

AI cofounder

It leads, you follow

ChatGPT gives you a blank text box and waits. aicofounder takes the lead. It asks the right questions, challenges your assumptions, proposes what to work on next, and drives the project forward. Instead of prompt-engineering your way through a business, you're working with a partner that thinks.

Canvas

Your work actually persists

In ChatGPT, context is lost the moment a conversation ends. In aicofounder, everything you discuss gets captured on a persistent visual canvas. Documents, notes, research reports, websites. Every conversation in a project shares the same canvas, so nothing gets lost and your AI cofounder always knows where things stand.

Deep research

Research that goes deep

ChatGPT can browse the web one page at a time. aicofounder deploys multiple AI research agents in parallel. Each one searching independently, reading full pages, and evaluating source quality. The result is a comprehensive, cited report you can actually trust and build decisions on.

Critical

Honest, not sycophantic

ChatGPT will tell you every idea is great. aicofounder won't. It's designed to be professionally objective. It challenges weak assumptions, points out risks you missed, and tells you when something needs more evidence. Your idea to sell hats for ducks won't be an "Amazing idea!"

You prompt, it responds. Direction and structure come entirely from you.

Memory

Persistent visual canvas captures everything across all conversations. Decisions, research, and progress are always there.

Context limited to individual conversations. Projects and history are disconnected.

Strategic planning

Ultraplan identifies your single biggest blocker and creates a step-by-step plan to break through it.

Collaboration

Real-time team collaboration with shared workspace, permissions, and project invitations.

"I used to use ChatGPT to build, research and inspire... But this is next level; answers are much better, connected to Reddit, it is really well organized and structured, it is guided, it leads the conversation, not me."
