Would you use an AI co‑pilot that turns your startup idea into an execution roadmap?

Hey IHs,

I’m building eze, an AI‑powered co‑pilot for very early‑stage founders, and I’d love some honest feedback from this community.

The problem I keep seeing (and have felt myself):

  • It’s relatively easy now to spin up an MVP with modern tooling.

  • It’s still hard to know what to do in what order once you have an idea.

  • Most first‑time or solo founders end up with a jungle of notes, Notion pages, and screenshots from X/YouTube, but no clear, realistic roadmap.

What I’m building

eze starts from a short conversation where you share:

  • Your idea (what you’re building and for whom).

  • Where you are now (student, full‑time job, already coding, solo or with a small team).

  • Your actual resources (time per week, money, teammates).

  • Your target launch window (1/3/6 months, etc.).

From that, it generates a visual roadmap:

  • Stages like validation → MVP → GTM → launch → post‑launch.

  • Milestones with dependencies and short descriptions.

  • A time‑bound execution plan so you always know the next few things to focus on.

  • You can then edit, re‑order, and track progress instead of staring at a blank page.

I have an early version working [not live yet] with a general‑purpose LLM and I’m starting to layer in more domain‑specific knowledge so the advice becomes more practical and less generic.

Where I’d love your input:

  • Would you have used something like this when you started your current/previous project?

  • What would it need to do for you to actually trust it (vs. treating it as a toy)?

  • Are there any parts of your own process (e.g., idea validation, GTM, fundraising) where this should not try to give advice?

  • Is there a particular niche (SaaS, dev tools, consumer apps, etc.) where you think this would be most valuable?

If you’re curious, I’ve put up a simple page + waitlist here: https://eze.lovable.app/.

Happy to share more details or screenshots in the comments and very open to “this won’t work because…” style feedback.

    Hi there, great idea!
    For now, I'm using ChatGPT projects with bookmarks, but it still turns out messy because the answers are long, I constantly need to look up previous steps, and it takes a lot of time. CTRL-F doesn't really help, since there are many threads in a single project. It would be great to use a product which could give some order to all thу steps with an easy search option. Good luck with your product!

      Felt this too.. hours of podcasts, blogs, and threads, but the entry barrier still felt huge because everything was scattered. Collecting it into notes and chats, then finding the right piece when needed, was a total mess.

      but not anymore with eze!
