🧠 What is Startup Copilot?

Startup Copilot is a generative AI-powered assistant for early-stage startup founders.

It helps with:

• 🧠 Idea validation (Google Trends + LLM)
• ⚙️ Workflow generation
• 📊 Business case analysis
• 🎯 Go-To-Market strategy
• 📣 Pitch deck drafting

All results can be optionally synced to Notion!

🏗️ Architecture

• Frontend: Gradio UI (tab-based)
• Backend: Modal Functions (GPU, torch, transformers)
• Models Used: Zephyr 7B, Mistral 7B
• APIs: Google Trends via PyTrends, Notion API
• Deployment: FastAPI wrapped in Modal's ASGI App
