AI-assisted business planning
From business idea to a plan you can defend.
AIdea walks you through a proven, step-by-step framework, from your first idea to your business model. An AI co-founder helps you research, draft and question every step. You make the decisions.

Why AIdea
Most business plans are guesses written down. AIdea helps you check yours.
-
A clear path
No blank page. Each step builds on the one before, from your market to your pricing, so nothing important gets skipped.
-
Evidence, not guesses
Research comes with its sources. Your riskiest assumptions go into one place where you plan tests and record what you learn.
-
You stay in charge
When the AI co-founder suggests a change to your plan, you see it first and accept or reject it.
