Inspiration

The problem with founding new products is that building an MVP costs a lot of time and money. With some estimates starting at three thousand dollars, up to over 120 thousand dollars. Now imagine being able to validate your startup idea in a matter of days, not months.

What it does

Thats why we are here to introduce ProFound, the world's first AI cofounder. ProFound is our AI-driven platform that allows you to prototype websites, generate user flows, and even gather user feedback, all with just a few clicks. Harnessing the latest in generative AI, ProFound is the ultimate tool for startup founders who want to bring their ideas to life in record time.

How we built it

Backend

For the backend, we use python websockets to enable real-time bidirectional communication between our frontend and backend
This allows us to have real time low latency collaboration between different team members. You can imagine a scenario where two cofounders may want to work on the same prototype at the same time.
For Text and code generation, we in fact do not use OpenAI’s GPT4 or GPT3.5 models.
- Instead, we use a new, state-of-the-art large language model by Anthropic Labs, which gives us over 25% better coding performance and nearly 10% better reasoning and problem solving

Frontend

In order to develop our frontend, we used Svelte, Vite, and TailwindCSS in order to rapidly develop and iterate our website
We’re also leveraging Typescript in order to ensure our code stays robust and extensible
Using our websocket channel with the backend, we are able to receive content generated by our AI model and render it directly on the screen as an interactive page view
