I am starting a startup on AI research automation. Looking for feedback!

Hi everyone,

I would like to share a product idea that I'm working on. I studied computer science and have worked for Silicon Valley startups for the last 6 years. I'm currently employed full-time at a startup that sells an AI-powered search engine, so I have gained valuable experience in the AI/information retrieval space.

I turned 29 last week, and I think it's time for me to start my own business. I've always wanted to run my own tech company, and I feel like now is the right time to begin with an idea.

Are you a researcher in any field? Do you often find yourself learning new, highly complex topics and don't know where to start? Google is a great tool for finding answers to specific questions, but what if you don't know what questions to ask?

I am developing a "deep search" engine that, given a topic, produces a multi-page report aggregating information from several properly cited sources. It finds and explains different perspectives and ideas related to the topic of interest. You can use it to automate the research process, but it's much more than that because it can help you uncover hidden perspectives, important questions, and ideas that you might not otherwise find when just googling.

I welcome any feedback and ideas! Do you think this product would deliver significant value to your life? Why or why not? Would you be willing to pay to use it?

I will post updates about this product in this thread in case you want to follow its development and try the product when it's ready.
