π€ Building ai-svc: A Reliable Foundation for AI Founder
π Introduction
Over the past few weeks, I've been heads-down building a new internal service I'm calling ai-svc. It's essentially a backend tool designed to reliably orchestrate and manage LLM (Large Language Model) tasks. Why build this? Because, quite simply, I needed to solve some frustrating reliability issues I've faced with AI integrations.
If you've ever used AI-based services, you might recognize these issues: random failures, unpredictable downtime, or inconsistent responses. ai-svc tackles these problems by incorporating retry logic, fallback models, and effective task management, providing stability and peace of mind.

πͺ How ai-svc Strengthens AI Founder
One of the main drivers behind ai-svc was to significantly improve AI Founder. AI Founder is great for quick validations, but user feedback highlighted opportunities to make it more valuable. With ai-svc, I'm enhancing AI Founder by:
Dramatically improving reliability with 'fire-and-forget' semantics for LLM requests, guaranteeing that every request will be processed regardless of temporary failures.
Reducing inference costs, allowing deeper analysis at scale.
Adding new features like pivot validation, detailed audits, and simulated user interviews.
Expanding its scope beyond initial idea validation into broader business development areas.
This shift addresses user feedback directly, aiming to create features that entrepreneurs will revisit regularly. The reliability improvements are particularly important, as AI Founder can now handle complex workflows with confidence that all LLM tasks will complete successfully, even during API outages or rate limiting issues.
π Upcoming Features: Marketing and Content Generation
Another key takeaway from early users: even validated ideas often struggle due to ineffective marketing. To solve this, I will develop:
Marketing Strategy Generator: AI-driven strategies tailored specifically for your startup.
Marketing Content Generator: Tools to quickly create essential content such as landing pages, emails, and social media posts.
Both of these solve regular, ongoing problems for entrepreneurs, positioning AI Founder as a central hub for startup growth rather than just initial validation.
π Early SEO Experiments and Unexpected Wins
To boost visibility, I started blogging directly on AI Founder's website. The first post, "How to Validate Your Startup Idea in Under an Hour", was shared on Reddit a few days after publication.
Interestingly, after sharing this post on Reddit, Google quickly indexed the AI Founder site. Previously, the domain wasn't appearing in search results at allβeven for direct searches. My personal website was the only way Google recognized AI Founder.
This suggests that Reddit backlinks significantly speed up Google's discovery process. While I'm still new to SEO, it's exciting to see tangible results so early.

π» How Cursor Accelerated Development (and Testing!)
Most of the development for ai-svc is done in Go using Cursor. Cursor's Rules engine has notably sped up repetitive coding tasks, allowing me to:
Quickly implement reliable and well-structured backend logic.
Spend more time on critical and complex logic, improving overall quality.
Implement comprehensive end-to-end tests across the service.
Without Cursor, maintaining such high testing standards would have been challenging, given limited personal development hours.
π― Summary and Next Steps
Here's a quick recap:
ai-svc is my new, reliable backend infrastructure for LLM orchestration, built specifically to solve the frustrating reliability issues I encountered with AI integrations.
The 'fire-and-forget' semantics guarantee that every LLM request will be processed, even during service disruptions β a critical improvement for AI Founder.
It significantly enhances AI Founder's capabilities, addressing key user requests.
Upcoming features include robust marketing tools, making AI Founder indispensable for ongoing startup growth.
Early SEO efforts have provided valuable insights into content indexing and backlinks.
Cursor has been instrumental in rapid, high-quality development.
