The market has quite a bit of competition which isn't a bad thing, in fact it is good validation of the idea.

The issue is that you are quite late to the party and I don't see a differentiator in your product.

Regardless, I would focus on getting a few paying customers first to validate the idea while still working a job so you can eat.

I agree and good advice. Being so new to this and not having a network to bounce ideas off of or even try the app makes that part difficult to go from 0 to 1 for me personally.

While I agree that competition exists and it is validating that the labs and others are working on solving this problem. I am trying to focus on a broader solution. Competitors will focus only on memory - but not so much on the other infrastructure requirements to create an AI app (chat history, etc).

I am also trying to create a moat around the difference in how we validate and create memories. Most will have a single pipeline, I want to have multiple and compare - this does increase my COGS however.

Appreciate the message -

This wouldn't change if you quit your job.

Keep your job, stop building, and start talking to potential customers.

Agree and fairly practical advice and one that comes up frequently when watching videos on yc founders etc.

I think another thing I'd like to point out is that it isn't necessarily 'quit your job' as it can also be 'do i take on more responsibility at work' or new role vs keep same role and split time between project and work.
