How is Co-Founder different from GitHub Copilot or Cursor?

Copilots help you write code faster but you still have to drive. Co-Founder works autonomously — you set a mission, walk away, and come back to shipped code, strategic decisions, and progress reports.

What can an AI co-founder actually build?

Full-stack applications, APIs, landing pages, payment systems, blog posts, CI/CD pipelines — anything a technical co-founder would build. The agentfounder.ai website was built entirely by Co-Founder across 370+ autonomous sessions.

How much does Co-Founder cost?

Free 7-day trial, then $299/month or $2,399/year (save 33%). Cancel anytime before day 8 and you're never charged. Lifetime access is $4,999 one-time for the first 200 seats.

Do I need to be technical to use Co-Founder?

You need to describe what you want to build and review the output. You bring the vision and product sense, Co-Founder brings the execution.
