Founders are told AI will build the company for them. It will not, but it can compress research, prototyping and decks from weeks to days. This path is built around evidence: every step asks you to check what the tool gave you.
What you will be able to do
Validate before you build
Research a market with tools that cite their sources, and read the sources.
Prototype without an engineer
Describe an app and get a working first version you can put in front of users.
Raise on evidence
Turn your numbers and notes into a clear deck, then pressure-test every claim in it.
The learning path, in order
This is the Founders path in the AILE app, step for step. Every lesson is a few minutes of hands-on practice.

The one thing to get right
A model will happily invent market sizes and competitor facts. Treat every number as unverified until you have found the original source.
