I built FounderMind AI because I kept making the same bad decisions as a founder

I'm Siddhant, solo founder of Evolvix AI.

For the past 3 months, I've been building FounderMind AI — not because I thought it would be a cool product, but because I needed it myself.

Here's the problem I kept running into:

Every week as a founder, I'd face decisions like:

• Should I build this feature or pivot?

• Is this feedback worth acting on or a distraction?

• Am I optimizing for the right metric?

And every week, I'd make the wrong call. Not because I'm bad at decisions — but because I was making them in isolation, with no structured way to evaluate tradeoffs.

I'd ask friends. I'd post in communities. I'd get conflicting advice. And I'd still guess.

So I built FounderMind AI.

It's an AI-powered decision assistant specifically designed for early-stage founders.

Here's what it actually does:

1. Structured decision analysis — You describe your decision, and it walks you through a framework (not just a "do this" answer, but a real evaluation: risks, assumptions, alternatives)

2. Pattern recognition — It learns your decision-making patterns over time and flags when you're repeating mistakes

3. Blind spot detection — It asks the questions you're not asking yourself

It's not a replacement for intuition or community. It's a structured second opinion that doesn't get tired or emotionally invested.

Why I built it this way:

I spent months testing different approaches. At first, I thought founders just wanted "better answers." I was wrong.

What founders actually want is better questions — and someone (or something) to help them think through the messy middle.

The tool I was building kept failing until I shifted from "give me the answer" to "help me think through this properly."

Current state:

FounderMind AI is live on Product Hunt (https://www.producthunt.com/products/foundermind-ai).

We're pre-revenue. Building in public. Getting real feedback from founders who use it daily.

The feedback I'm most interested in right now isn't "is it good?" — it's "when do you actually use it?"

I'd love your feedback on:

What decisions are you currently struggling with as a founder? And if you've used AI decision tools before — what made them useful or useless?

I'm specifically trying to understand:

• When do founders reach for external input vs trusting their gut?

• What would make a tool like this feel like a second opinion rather than a crutch?

Would genuinely appreciate honest takes — the good and the brutal.
