Hey there, Seb here,
Ever feel like launching a startup is overwhelming? Too many roles to fill, too many skills to master?
Not anymore.
With AI, everyone is now a startup founder.
- Need a programmer? AI’s got you. (Cursor, Replit, Claude 3.5)
- Need a designer? No problem. (V0, Playground, Galileo AI)
- Need a copywriter, recruiter, legal assistant, or even a sales team? AI tools can now handle it all.
We’re entering an era where the barrier to building is lower than ever—the only thing AI won’t do is have good taste (that part is still on you).
This amazing list comes from the great @gregisenberg, who perfectly captured the moment we’re in.
