Usage

The ai-startups package provides a Startup function that combines functionality from the Business (from ai-business) and Service (from ai-service) patterns:

import { Startup } from 'ai-startups'

const myStartup = Startup({
  name: 'AI Solutions',
  vision: 'Make AI accessible to everyone',
  goals: [
    { objective: 'Market Growth', keyResults: ['100K users by Q4', '20% MoM growth'] }
  ],
  services: [
    {
      name: 'Text Analysis API',
      objective: 'Provide advanced text analysis',
      pricing: {
        model: 'activity-based',
        activities: [
          { name: 'analysis', rate: 0.01 }
        ]
      },
      implementation: {
        type: 'function',
        id: 'text-analyzer'
      }
    }
  ]
})

// Generate site and DB
const site = myStartup.generateSite()
const db = myStartup.generateDatabase()

Site Generation

Automatically generate a website for your startup:

• Landing page with vision and service overview
• Services marketplace page
• Pricing page with dynamic pricing models
• About page with goals and key results

Database Schema Generation

Generate a database schema for your startup:
