What's one task of building a startup you wish you could automate?

I think in our day to day lives we all have aspects we wish we could automate and in startups thats especially true, for me I think it would be the entire design side. A.I please make a solid Figma design generator

Being a tech co-founder, I'd love to have my app developed automatically 😎
Aaron O'Leary
@alessandro_canella same, AI needs to hurry up with that
Melvin Kang
@alessandro_canella Wish that can come to be true. It is challenging, but our team is aiming to provide the frontend automation tool. Hope it can somehow get closer to what you want :)

Would be nice to Figma to Angular components! Or generate a name and buy domain, create emails
Aaron O'Leary
@david_sipos Name generation for sure, its hard thinking of the perfect name!
Melvin Kang
@david_sipos We will consider Figma to Angular components. We are providing Figma to HTML/SCSS and Flutter so far.

Organizing my notion 😂 Although we've made some pretty cool notion templates to go along with our product-market fit ebook: https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

@mekkiebansil this hits home for me! We just switched to Notion, and while it's way better than what we were using prior, I'm still limping along with docs/resources all over the place 😅
Mekkie Bansil
@lyndsay_donhoff haah what were you using before? and i totally feel you! i made a notion task calendar for us and it's sooooo hard to not just leave cards on there as references of copy or whatever
Lyndsay Donhoff
@mekkiebansil We were using a hodge podge of tools: Asana, Google Drive, Figma/Miro, & Slack notes. We got most everything migrated into Notion, but it's been a chaotic process and I wish I had some more regimented structure if that makes sense?
Mekkie Bansil
@lyndsay_donhoff that totally makes sense! I don't know if it would be helpful at all but I can show you what we do?

Customer service around operations - when customers want you do something that your app isn't built to do, but you feel like you have to do it because you are early stage and you want to accommodate them (like changing a class time or processing refunds)

Product feedback and testing Of course there are tons of product around feedback but being able to automatically filter out the data should be easy. Even same for testing.

Generating different landing pages to market the product and running A/B experiments to optimize the pages.

The tasks I would like to automate are not easy ones like chasing unpaid invoices for a B2B SaaS. Requires lots of manual work and some companies have bizarre payment procedures that also change every time.

Infra for any SaaS: Login, 2 factor auth, manage users and passwords. Conclusion, all that a SaaS needs but is not the core value of it

Equity - the amount of time & thought required to get it right - and massive downside to getting it wrong (like not filing an 83b) - is astonishing.

Building a startup...but seriously, getting out of the office is very hard for me. I just want to keep my head down and build.
Robert Ford
I would have loved to automate the marketing and sales process, rounding up new partners and customers. I’ve personally pitched to over 100 angels from Silicon Valley to Dresden in Germany. The number of hours spent pitching is incalculable and requires significant mental health investment.
