me and my co-founder are building an AI agent because at our last startup we just couldn t keep up with support.
we tried every chatbot out there. they all felt robotic. customers hated it.
hiring more people was too slow + too $$$
so we put together this ai chatbot (think intercom fin but deeper) that trains on your old tickets, learns your tone, doesn t hallucinate, and can actually answer stuff like a real support rep.
I m building a startup and reaching the point where I need to better understand the early-stage funding landscape especially around pre-seed and first checks.
There s a lot of theory online, but I d love to hear your real stories and practical tips:
