AI Time Analyzer and Updated Explore Level
AI Time Analyzer
The AI Dashboard is replacing the AI Assistant page. Our goal is to have a central place for you as a founder to take advantage of AI for your business needs. To kick things off, the first tool that we are adding to the AI Dashboard alongside the multi-persona AI Chatbot is an AI Time Breakdown.
The Time Breakdown uses AI to look at your tasks or goals on your checklist to give you a breakdown of where you are spending your time. There are two breakdowns, one for your completed and another for your pending tasks and goals. The breakdown works by using AI to estimate the amount of time needed to complete a task, and providing a breakdown of how much time is being spent in the 5 key areas of Research, Admin, Sales, Marketing, and Product Development. Time management is critical to a startup's success, but it can be difficult to get it right while managing all aspects of a business and shifting priorities based on the stage of your business. We hope this tool and our article on where to spend your time based on the stage of your company give your time management skills a bionic boost to get ahead.
Updated Explorer Level
Based on user feedback, our journey levels took too long to get to the important info and it was a bit sterile, making it feel like a really long incubator application more so than a learning area. So we gave Explore, the first level of the journey, an update to its UI, UX, and reduced the number of questions to focus on the important questions. We hope this streamlines the level so that you are getting to the questions that an investor or mentor would ask immediately, and give you guidance in the long response questions so you aren't bouncing around between pages. Let us know how you like the new UI and UX!
We will be rolling out this update to the Research Level next, and then adding the rest of the curriculum with these updates in mind.
