Denovo - Build and run your business while you sleep.

Love this direction. What type of businesses is @Denovo best for from your POV? What are your first users building?

@saverio_pulizzi3 Recently, vibe code is trend. But important thing is which problem to solve. I think Denovo AI can help this issue efficiently. I was shocked that this software provides almost everything (revenue potential, pitch deck, promo vide, even webapp). But maybe quality of these result is important. I will use this service in 1 month free trial~!

@hustlerv Thank you so much Vojtěch! Welcome aboard 🧡

Great question — honestly, the biggest challenge was building trust that an AI can actually run your business, not just generate a doc.

Everyone's seen AI tools that spit out a business plan or a logo. But Denovo goes way beyond that — it autonomously runs your go-to-market, sends outreach, posts content, tracks leads, and iterates. Convincing people that this isn't "just another AI generator" but an actual autonomous co-founder was the hardest part.

We had to let the product speak for itself. When early users saw their first leads come in while they were sleeping — that's when it clicked.

The "zero-employees" positioning came from that exact moment.

The second challenge? Scope. We're not building one tool — we're building an entire startup operating system (business plan + branding + pitch deck + MVP + GTM + lead gen + social media). Keeping all of that coherent and high-quality simultaneously was a serious engineering puzzle 😅

As a solo dev yourself, my advice: ship the smallest version that delivers the "magic moment." For us, that moment was a founder typing an idea and seeing a full startup materialize in minutes. Everything else came after.

Can't wait to hear what you build! Drop me a message if you need any help 🚀

@hustlerv How are you planning to use Denovo?

@gayatri_sachdeva 

Great question — and honestly, this is one of the things we obsessed over.

Denovo isn't a template engine that spits out the same output for everyone. It's an AI co-founder you actually talk to. During the first build, it assumes the style and direction for your business based on the idea you provide.

Afterwards, you can edit every asset - your brand kit, pitch deck, business plan, website, and financials — can be edited through a live conversation with your AI agent. You give it direction, and it builds. You push back, it iterates.

Just like working with a real co-founder.

Same with the Autonomous OS - The founder gives direction and a focus area, and it works for you!

@fmerian This means a lot — thank you! 🙏

You nailed the pain. Every founder starts with fire in their belly and then immediately gets buried in paperwork, legal setup, pitch decks, branding, financial models, lead gen... the list never ends. By the time you're done setting up, half your energy is gone.

That's exactly why we built Denovo — so founders can skip straight to the part that matters: building something people want and getting it to market. The AI handles the rest, 24/7.

Appreciate the shoutout! 🧡

What's the one startup task you wish you could just hand off completely and never think about again? 👀

@mykola_kondratiuk Really sharp question — this is exactly the right thing to stress-test.

Honest answer: Denovo doesn't pretend to replace human judgment on high-stakes exceptions. That would be reckless. Here's how we actually think about it:

The 80/20 split. ~80% of early-stage startup work is predictable and repeatable — generate the brand, build the deck, write outreach emails, post content, enrich leads, follow up. That's the work that buries solo founders. Denovo owns that entire layer autonomously.

The other 20% — the exceptions you're describing — stays with the founder. But here's the difference: instead of drowning in the 80% and handling exceptions, you're only handling exceptions. Your cognitive load drops dramatically.

In practice, the agent surfaces decisions rather than making them silently. Invoice dispute? The agent flags it and drafts a response — you approve or edit before it sends. Supplier changes terms? It pulls the new terms, highlights what changed, and asks you how to proceed. It's not autopilot with no steering wheel — it's autopilot with the founder as the pilot who only gets called to the cockpit when it matters.

We also built approval gates for anything that touches money, external communications, or irreversible actions. The agent literally pauses and asks "should I do this?" before executing. So the failure surface you're worried about has a human checkpoint on every high-risk path.

The real unlock isn't "AI runs everything perfectly." It's "AI handles the grind so the founder has the bandwidth to handle the exceptions well."

What's the gnarliest edge case you've seen kill an early-stage startup — the one you'd want to throw at us first? 👀

@valeriavg Thank you! Really important question — and one we take seriously.

On the EU AI Act: Denovo falls under the category of general-purpose AI systems. We're actively tracking the Act's phased rollout and building compliance into the product. Specifically:

• Transparency obligations — The AI Act requires that AI-generated content is disclosed. Every asset Denovo produces (business plans, pitch decks, legal docs, emails, social posts) is clearly generated within an AI platform and has an AI label when downloaded, Powered and Generated with Denovo AI. The founder knows, and we make it easy for them to disclose downstream.

• No high-risk classification — Denovo doesn't operate in the Act's high-risk categories (no biometric data, no credit scoring, no hiring decisions). We're a business productivity tool, which keeps us in the limited/minimal risk tier.

On the transparency question specifically: Yes, the founder always knows everything is AI-generated — that's the entire premise. For their customers and contacts, the founder controls how they present it.

Are you building in the EU market? Would love to hear what compliance concerns are top of mind for you 👀

@hamza_afzal_butt Thanks for the great question! Honest answer: very reliable on the 80% that's predictable. Intentionally not autonomous on the 20% that's messy.

Here's what I mean. Most early-stage startup work is repeatable — build the brand, write the pitch deck, generate financial models, send outreach, post content, follow up with leads. Denovo handles all of that end-to-end, 24/7, without you lifting a finger. That layer is rock solid.

But when real-world decisions get messy — a customer pushes back on pricing, a partnership deal needs a judgment call, a market signal requires a strategic pivot — the agent doesn't go rogue. It surfaces the decision to you with context, drafts a recommended response, and waits for your green light.

We built approval gates on every high-stakes action: anything involving money, external comms, or irreversible moves gets paused with a "should I do this?" before executing.

The design philosophy is simple: automate the grind, escalate the judgment calls. The founder isn't removed from the loop — they're just only called into the cockpit when it actually matters. Instead of drowning in 50 hours of busywork and trying to make good decisions, you're fresh, focused, and only handling the stuff that genuinely needs a human brain.

10,000+ projects in, the biggest unlock isn't "AI does everything perfectly" — it's that founders finally have the bandwidth to handle the messy stuff well because they're not exhausted from the routine stuff.

What's one messy decision you'd want to stress-test us with? 👀

@jasonhowie Appreciate the thoughtful take, Jason — and you're right, that's exactly where the real test is.

Here's how we handle it: Denovo splits the world into two lanes.

Lane 1 — Autonomous. The predictable, high-volume work that buries founders: generating the brand, building the deck, writing outreach, posting content, enriching leads, following up. This runs 24/7 without intervention. It's where 80% of early-stage time gets wasted, and it's rock solid.

Lane 2 — Human-in-the-loop. Anything high-stakes hits an approval gate before it executes. The agent drafts the response, surfaces the context, and asks "should I do this?" — the founder approves, edits, or redirects.

The key design choice: the agent doesn't fail silently. When something goes off-script, it doesn't guess or hallucinate a decision. It escalates with context — "here's what happened, here's what I recommend, here's the tradeoff."

The founder makes the call with full information instead of discovering a mess after the fact.

What's a specific off-script scenario you'd want to throw at it? Always looking for edge cases to stress-test 👀

The promise of truly automated business operations is something many founders have been chasing for a while, and it looks like Denovo is making a serious run at it.

frame this, ?makers

@mihir_kanzariya 100% agree — that distinction matters a lot. So let me be specific.

Denovo is not a project management layer. It doesn't give you a checklist and say, "go do these 47 things." It actually does them.

Here's what it generates and executes directly:

📊 Business plan & financials — full P&L, unit economics, cap table, investor memo. Not templates — real models built from your inputs.

🎨 Brand identity — logo, icon, color palette, typography. Done.

📑 Pitch deck — investor-ready, 9-15 slides, with real market data and competitive analysis pulled in.

🌐 Full-stack web application — functional application with database, CRM, backend functions. Not a wireframe — a deployed site.

📝 Legal docs — NDAs, terms of service, privacy policies, employment agreements, SAFE notes, IP assignments. Generated with real statutory references, not generic boilerplate.

📈 Autonomous GTM — this is where it gets real. The agent actually sends outreach emails, actually posts to your social channels, and actually finds and enriches leads. Not "here's a plan" — it executes.

What it doesn't do (yet): Incorporation filing, or bank account creation. Those require identity verification and legal signatures that need a human in the loop. We're exploring partnerships to close that gap, but we won't automate it until we can do it responsibly.

So to answer your question directly: it's about 80% execution, 20% guided steps — and we're pushing that ratio every week.

What's the one integration that would make it a no-brainer for your SaaS workflow? 👀

@bibin765 yes. #dogfooding

@bibin765 Yes!

Denovo knows your business. It has the context and memory around what you build every day, so I am using it to answer any question without having to provide additional context. I use it every day to run Denovo itself!
