I built an AI co-founder that tells you what's actually broken in your startup (not just validation theater)

Hey IH,

I've been building products for years, and I kept running into the same problem: I'd launch something, get crickets, and have no idea if my positioning sucked, my site was confusing, or I was just in the wrong market.

So I'd do what we all do — ask for feedback in communities, run surveys, maybe pay for a teardown. But the advice was always either too generic ("improve your copy!") or too expensive ($500+ for a consultant to tell me my CTA button was the wrong color).

So I built Sensei.

It's an AI-powered strategy tool that actually diagnoses what's wrong with your product and tells you how to fix it. Not vague advice — specific, actionable stuff.

Here's what it does:

• Validation scoring — Is your idea actually viable? Get a brutal honest assessment with dimension breakdowns (market opportunity, competitive position, execution, revenue potential)
• Site audit — Analyzes your landing page for conversion killers, trust signals, messaging clarity. Tells you exactly what's pushing visitors away.
• Competitor intel — See how you stack up, find gaps in the market, identify positioning opportunities
• Go-to-market strategy — Not a generic template. An actual plan based on YOUR product, market, and strengths.
• 30-day roadmap — Prioritized actions so you know what to work on first

The whole thing runs in about 90 seconds and gives you a "Product Health" score so you can track improvements over time.

Why I think this is different:

Most tools either give you data without interpretation or generic advice that applies to everyone. Sensei connects the dots — it understands your specific situation and gives recommendations that actually make sense for where you are.

Looking for beta users

I just launched and I'm looking for founders who want to put their product through the wringer. Would love your feedback on what's useful and what's missing.

If you're working on something and want a brutally honest second opinion, give it a shot: https://asksensei.dev

Happy to answer any questions about the build, the tech, or the product itself.
