Validating a startup idea takes weeks of manual research — competitor analysis, market sizing, pitch deck creation, and MVP planning. Most founders skip these steps, leading to a 90% failure rate.

AgentConnect deploys a team of 5 specialized AI agents that automate the entire validation pipeline:

• 🧠 AI-Powered Analysis — Gemini-driven market research and SWOT generation
• 📈 Founder Studio Dashboard — Real-time agent status, market sizing graphs, roadmap tracking
• 🎯 Investor Matching — AI-scored VC compatibility with one-click pitch sending
• 🌗 Dark/Light Mode — Premium aesthetic with theme switching
• 🔒 Secure Authentication — Protected routes with session management
• ⌨️ Command Palette — Ctrl+K for instant navigation
• 💬 Agent Chat — Gemini-powered conversational AI with project context
• 📥 Report Exports — Download market reports, pitch decks, and MVP blueprints

• Node.js 18+
• npm or yarn
• Google Gemini API Key (Get one here)
