Inspiration Founders often get their best clarity from hard conversations, not pitch decks. We wanted to turn that moment into an agentic workflow.
What it does RealityCheck Live lets founders pitch an idea by voice, then generates market evidence, risks, a score, and a concrete next experiment.
How we built it We built a Next.js dashboard with Vapi-style voice intake, TinyFish-style research events, Redis-backed run state, LLM synthesis, and a Shipables skill package.
Challenges we ran into Coordinating live voice, external APIs, state persistence, and a reliable hackathon demo path under time pressure was the hardest part.
Accomplishments that we're proud of We shipped a polished end-to-end demo that clearly shows voice intake, live research, evidence tracking, sponsor traces, and a final market verdict.
What we learned The best startup validation tools need to be opinionated, evidence-backed, and fast enough to fit naturally inside a conversation.
What's next for RealityCheckLive Connect the live sponsor APIs fully, improve source quality, add real founder memory, and let teams reuse the workflow as an installable agent skill.
