Show HN: After being laid off from a corporate job I built my first AI Startup

https://www.novichat.ai
2•antonio07c•2mo ago
Two months ago I was laid off due to oil market conditions, so I decided to finally try the path of building my own product.

I’m a web developer and worked for industrial companies for the last 15+ years, but always watched from the sidelines how everybody was building beautiful startups/SAAS websites.

I truly believe that every website today should have an AI chatbot that actually works for the business while they sleep: answer questions, capture leads, and reduce support load. This is something I really feel is useful.

It enables businesses to create and train their AI chatbot using their website and documents, then embed it directly on their site. The chatbot captures leads automatically and has a ticketing system. I know this market is tough, but I'm just trying to capture a small percentage of it, while helping businesses in the process.

Tech stack?: Nextjs with Typescript and Tailwind (love and hate it, but that's for another day), Supabase for database and auth, AWS.

This is the first time I have shipped anything like this solo, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated, and I'm happy to answer any questions.

Thank you again for reading!

Also, I'm a developer and feel like adding just one more feature! For those who’ve done this a few times what do you wish you had focused on for marketing in your first launch?
