Ask HN: Can solo entrepreneurs benefit from an AI with a cofounder personality?
Maybe it would be like having a startup with several cofounders even though only one of them is human?

No
I don't know if I'd call it a co-founder, but I do think this could be a useful tool as a sort of checklist system, in the way that doctors use checklists to make sure they aren't missing anything important but obvious.

Yes, solo entrepreneurs can definitely benefit from an AI with a "cofounder personality." As the founder of https://ai2sql.io/ , which reached $9K MRR, I've seen firsthand how an AI can assist with decision-making, brainstorming, and automating tasks, helping scale the business faster. While it won't replace the human element, it can certainly provide valuable support and insights.
No, but I'd wager that many would pay for the illusion of a benefit, especially while GPTs are still trending. A lot of startups collect tons of little microservices like this. They're typically willing to pay up to a few hundred bucks annually for each of these of these types of services.
no
co-founders bring new ideas. Think of AI more like domain experts.
