We're building an AI executive team for solo founders. This is the most important screen in the whole product.

Four months into building VenturOS (operating system for solo founders building with AI agents) and the screen above is the one I've thought about the most.

The thinking behind it:

Most AI tools dump every user into the same onboarding. Same questions, same flow, same output. Doesn't matter if you're a creator with an audience, a tinkerer with an idea, a vibe coder with a shipped product, or an early-stage founder running real revenue. You all get the same conversation.

That breaks fast. A creator with 50K LinkedIn followers needs platform strategy. A founder with an idea needs to pressure-test the wedge. A solo builder with a repo needs an actual product snapshot. An early-stage founder needs an operating plan.

So we split the onboarding into four paths:

- I have a voice (creators building in public, coming soon)

- I have an idea (before you write a line of code)

- I have a product (for solo builders and vibe coders)

- I have a business (early-stage founder, coming soon)

Each path shapes the whole experience: which AI executives engage first, what questions get asked, what gets generated. Same product, four different doors.

The two live paths today are "I have an idea" and "I have a product." The other two ship Q3.

Curious what this sub thinks. Specifically: did we get the four buckets right? Is there a path that's missing? Does the framing land or does it feel like marketing speak?

Been using Lovable for a while now, hit L4 Platinum. Tried both the daily 5-credit refresh plans and the bulk monthly packages.

Hot take: I build better stuff on 5 credits a day.

With 5 credits you actually plan your prompts. You write proper briefs. You think before you hit send.

With 200 sitting in your account? You get lazy. Vague prompt → Lovable misinterprets → you send another to fix it → that fix breaks something else → you're 6 credits deep into a debugging spiral for something that should have taken 1.

We all know the loop. "I've fixed the issue!" No you haven't. Check the preview. It's broken in a brand new way. Rinse, repeat, 15 credits gone.

The daily constraint forced me to become a better prompt engineer. Fewer messages, better results. The bulk credits just made me sloppier.

Anyone else notice this? Or am I the only one who actually misses the limitations?

Pro tip that saved me a ton of credits: spend 15-20 mins writing out exactly what you want in a notes app before touching Lovable (or better yet, feed your notes to Cowork and ask it to give you the exact Lovable prompt). Sounds obvious but it cut my credit usage in half.
