Why This Exists

Roasty the Fox thinking

Let's be honest. Most AI apps just say "yes." They're eager to please, quick to build.

But here? Our AI doesn't sugarcoat. It roasts. Because before you *do* something, we believe it's critical to understand what you *shouldn't* do.

This isn't just another chatbot. It's a deliberate system built to challenge your assumptions, stress-test your startup ideas, and deliver the brutal honesty every founder needs but rarely gets. It's the first step in a larger exploration.

Our AI's Method to the Madness:

  • It analyzes your core concept.
  • It scrutinizes it against market realities (with a bit of searching).
  • It mocks, jokes, critiques, and yes, sometimes even offers a constructive pivot.
  • And it's constantly learning to be an even better gatekeeper.

dontbuildthis.comis an experiment in constructive demolition. We're fascinated by the idea of pre-failure analysis. Think of us as the starting point of a bigger conversation – a suite of tools and communities, perhaps one day under a banner like "dooont.com" or alongside concepts like "DontAutomateThis." The common thread? Helping you find clarity by first confronting the pitfalls.

Why? Because in a world rushing to build, we think there's immense power in pausing to consider what not to build. Save your time, your money, your sanity.

We're building this for people like you — tinkerers, builders, the beautifully weird, the bravely rebellious. Those who aren't afraid to kill their darlings if it means finding a stronger path.

Thanks for building something weird (or deciding not to).
