Thanks! I don't have the best answer to this question honestly. Our plan is to move faster and build a better product. That's pretty much it :)

We're two devs and built all of this for almost no money. We think if we can make something even remotely comparable alone then we can definitely compete in the future if we keep going. This is probably just me being extremely naive but I think we need to be a little bit to try. Very valid point though.

Don't let that deter you. Build a better product, and target a niche (vertical), at least to begin with. MS tries to be everything to everyone, with predictable results.

If I were in the market I would not even consider Power Automate, coming from MS.

Good advice. The niche will make or break this. The tooling already exists in the competitors: Make, Power Automate, Zapier, etc. They all have LLM prompt builders in their UIs already, their automations can all talk to LLMs, and they're all much bigger. Don't try to go head to head with them. Find a niche, create a solution the niche wants, and get customers locked into your platform through it. Then you can scale toward being more general purpose.

Appreciate the encouragement. I worked at Microsoft before all of this. Totally agree with your points. I love the culture and the people but I think we can compete with speed.

That IS the best answer.
