After I had the initial idea to distill business signals (gaps, friction points, market trends, etc.) from the daily news, the first prototype came together pretty quickly. A month or two later (Xmas Day 2025), I deployed it to production and started talking about it. A got a major spike of new users when my architecture breakdown (https://gammavibe.com/updates/autonomous-startup-generator-architecture/) was featured in the TLDR newsletter. There's a video version of the breakdown as well (https://youtu.be/YAFdxO8jANc?si=ZrfTQXlRySdOqXx-).
Since then, the app has been humming along nicely, and reliably posts a fresh startup idea each day (well, ok - it does need the occasional bugfix or improvement...).
I'm now working on a course to teach others how to build a similar analysis pipeline using agentic engineering (I use Claude Code, but it should work with any agentic coding tool). Stay tuned for more info on that.
