Why junior devs should build their first product now β€” with an AI co-pilot

πŸš€ AI Founder β€” your co-pilot from idea to MVP

(and how to be among the first to try it)

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been quietly building AI Founder β€” a tool to help developers and early founders go from vague ideas to working MVPs in days, not months.

It’s not just another AI coding assistant.

It’s your structured co-pilot β€” guiding you from product thinking to code to deployment.

And now, we’re inviting early users to book a live demo or join alpha testing.


πŸ€– What is AI Founder?

AI Founder is a new kind of tool for builders. It helps you:

  • 🧠 Refine your idea β€” clarify who it’s for, and why it matters
  • πŸ›  Build a tech blueprint β€” choose the right stack, architecture, and flow
  • πŸ’» Generate real code β€” not snippets, but files you can run
  • πŸš€ Deploy fast β€” GitHub repo + live app with CI/CD
  • πŸ“ˆ Reflect and plan next β€” build with momentum and clarity

All guided by a conversational AI mentor that explains, nudges, and helps you stay on track.


πŸ‘₯ Who is it for?

This isn’t a pro tool β€” it’s designed for people starting out.

You might like AI Founder if you’re:

  • A junior developer (0–2 years experience)
  • A student or bootcamp grad who wants a real project
  • A freelancer with product ideas
  • A builder who struggles with β€œwhere do I even begin?”

If you’ve ever felt stuck between tutorials and real-world projects β€” this is for you.


🧩 What you'll see in the live demo

  • A walkthrough of the current prototype
  • How the AI guides you from idea to MVP
  • The dev environment: code editor, terminal, deployment
  • Q&A β€” ask anything
  • How to join alpha testing if you're interested

It’s short (15 min), personal, and at a time that works for you.


βœ‹ Why we need your feedback

We’re still early β€” and that’s exactly why your input matters.

If you want to help shape a tool that lowers the barrier to tech entrepreneurship, this is the best time to get involved.

You’ll get:

βœ… Early access to the prototype

βœ… 6 months free access to the final product

βœ… Direct line to the team + contributor badge


πŸ“… Want to try it?

πŸ‘‰ Book a demo or apply for alpha testing

We’re keeping the first cohort small β€” just a few dozen people β€” so we can build the right thing with the right people.


Let’s make it easier for more people to build and ship things that matter.

Thanks for reading πŸ™Œ
