Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

There is a lot of buzz about AI apps but I wonder if existing startups are thinking deeply about changing business models because of AI or leveraging AI to automate/replace people in some functions?

Are your startups discussing the repercussions of AI to the business ?

Hello GV,
Tons of AI tools/GPT wrappers have come up in the last one year

I am curious if you/your workplace actually pays for any of these tools? If yes can you please share these products & the use cases you use these tools for in comments below

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hey guys!
I'm thinking of starting up a product based company, focusing on AI powered administrative and business intelligence tools on the cloud.
I have a small team of 4 developers (including an UI/UX designer), initially we plan on breaking into the inventory management systems market and later on expanding into other fields.
We're planning on using technologies like FastAPI, Flutter and AWS to build this product.
Please feel free to really comment on the idea with respect to the current start up ecosystem of India. Also we're focusing on multi vendor inventory management systems specifically tailored to e-commerce and configurable to suit offline retail based systems.

Want to build a AI startup. Finding it impossible as 
1) Incumbents with distribution and data will easily build AI to their products
2) I don’t have PhD to build something truly innovative.
3) For consumer space, I don’t think it’s possible to build a new device or a OS etc (Incumbents again!)

I seriously wonder how startup founders start something! Do they just BS VCs about nice ideas and raise money? Any tips *from actual founders*  will be useful

Can’t think of good startup ideas!

ParagA raises $30Mn for new AI startup

Corporate Strategist

The startup I work at, in all of its existence, it has never given half a shit about AI. 

Now that the company is looking to raise its series C, over the last 2 months, all of the employees have been asked to build AI products so that the founders can sell this lollipop to investors and get a massive round. 

Guess what? it's working!

We'll soon close the next round by selling random nonsense in the name of revolutionary AI technology.
