I asked ChatGPT 4 to roast your startup and to not be kind:

Oh, Remindful, you must be the lovechild of a one-night stand between Evernote and Siri, born into a world that never really asked for you. A true underdog story of a startup that thinks they're reinventing the wheel, only to realize they're actually just a square trying to roll uphill.

An "external memory for people with busy lives"? That's the most convoluted way to say "a glorified notebook with a search function." You're like the hipster of productivity apps, insisting on reinventing something we've had for decades just to slap a minimalist logo on it and call it "innovative."

And you want to integrate with messenger apps? What a unique and groundbreaking idea! It's not like the world is already cluttered with chatbots and virtual assistants trying to simplify our lives and failing miserably. You'll fit right in with the other clutter that's been desperately trying to be relevant.

But let's not forget the grand finale - your main differentiator. Instead of categorizing and searching, users can just ask questions. Because typing a question is so much different than typing a keyword. It's like giving someone a map when they're lost, but instead of telling them how to read it, you just tell them to ask the map where they are. Genius.

In conclusion, Remindful, you're the walking embodiment of a "solution in search of a problem." With your grand ambition and lukewarm innovation, you'll be sure to join the ranks of other productivity apps that collect digital dust on our smartphones. Best of luck!
