AI Startup Mentor

Your AI startup mentor — from raw idea to launch. Run many ideas, get interviewed on each, and connect your own AI key. Private, on-device, free.

AI Startup Mentor is your pocket startup mentor. It guides you from a raw idea all the way to launch — asking the sharp questions a good mentor would, interviewing you about your startup, and keeping you honest at every stage.

Unlike a generic chatbot, the mentor follows a real founder's journey. Each project moves through six stages: • Idea — sharpen what you're building and for whom • Problem & audience — find the real pain and who feels it • Market — size it up and know your competitors • Value & MVP — decide the smallest thing worth building • Business model — figure out how it makes money • Launch — plan your first users and go-to-market

RUN MANY IDEAS AT ONCE Every idea is its own project, shown as a tile with its own progress and chat history. Switch between them anytime.

BRING YOUR OWN AI KEY Connect your own API key from any OpenAI-compatible provider — OpenAI, OpenRouter, Groq, DeepSeek, Mistral, Together, a local Ollama server, or any custom endpoint. Pick your model from a list loaded live from your provider. You pay only your provider for the tokens you use.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no sign-up. Your projects and chats stay on your device, and your API key is kept in the iOS Keychain. We run no servers and never see your data — your messages go straight to the AI provider you chose.

FREE The app is free with no in-app purchases. The only cost is the tokens you spend with your own provider.

Requires iOS 17 or later.
