Hey Indie Hackers! ๐
I just launched DealPulse AI to solve a major pain point in startup due diligence: manually evaluating dense pitch decks takes hours, but uploading confidential deal data to third-party cloud tools poses significant privacy risks.
DealPulse AI is a desktop copilot designed for investors, advisors, and founders:
โข ๐ 100% Private (BYOK): Runs locally on your machine using your own OpenAI or Groq API key (free tier available). No middleman server exposure.
โข ๐ VC Scoring & Risk Analysis: Automatically extracts unit economics, scores deals (0-10), and identifies operational red flags with clear mitigation steps.
โข ๐ Instant Executive Summaries: Maps ecosystem relationships and exports editable Word (.docx) reports.
We just released our $29 lifetime deal on Gumroad: https://pulseaistudio.gumroad.com
Iโd love to get your feedback or answer any questions about building local AI desktop tools!
The BYOK approach is an interesting design choice.
For the people you're targeting, the way confidential information is handled can be just as important as what the analysis produces.
