The market has quite a bit of competition which isn't a bad thing, in fact it is good validation of the idea.
The issue is that you are quite late to the party and I don't see a differentiator in your product.
Regardless, I would focus on getting a few paying customers first to validate the idea while still working a job so you can eat.
- Mnexium 5mo agoI agree and good advice. Being so new to this and not having a network to bounce ideas off of or even try the app makes that part difficult to go from 0 to 1 for me personally. While I agree that competition exists and it is validating that the labs and others are working on solving this problem. I am trying to focus on a broader solution. Competitors will focus only on memory - but not so much on the other infrastructure requirements to create an AI app (chat history, etc). I am also trying to create a moat around the difference in how we validate and create memories. Most will have a single pipeline, I want to have multiple and compare - this does increase my COGS however. Appreciate the message -

- Mnexium 5mo agoAgree and fairly practical advice and one that comes up frequently when watching videos on yc founders etc. I think another thing I'd like to point out is that it isn't necessarily 'quit your job' as it can also be 'do i take on more responsibility at work' or new role vs keep same role and split time between project and work.
