Hello Product Hunters! 👋🏻 I'm excited to introduce you Hell's Pitching 🔥: the ruthlessly honest AI-powered assistant you need to build a better startup. In October 2022 I started Pitch Deck Studio, an agency that helps startup founders create winning pitch decks. Over the past year I had the privilege of working with many different clients. I've seen a lot of startups and pitch decks, and I've learned a lot about what works and what doesn't. Sometimes, though, I wished I could say the truth to my clients. I wanted to be able to point out flaws and mistakes that could potentially cost them a lot of money. But I couldn't. I had to be professional. 5 months ago then, I decided to build an AI-powered assistant that could do the dirty job for me. An assistant that could tell the truth, no matter how harsh it is, and help founders build a better startup. But I knew almost nothing about coding. I was determined so I started learning. I started learning Python, and then HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I spent hours and hours learning, coding, and testing. And finally, I did it. After months of hard work and dedication, I proudly present Hell's Pitching. What you'll get is not the typical 'pat on the back' kind of feedback. You'll get a ruthlessly honest AI-powered assistant you need to build a better startup. Underneath the roast, though, there's wisdom that often leads to 'aha' moments. Get ready to: Uncover flaws in your idea. Strengthen your startup vision. Laugh your way to success. So if you think you have a golden startup idea, give Hell's Pitching 🔥 a try. The best part? It's free! Can't wait to hear your thoughts and I'm ready to answer any questions you might have. Thank you for your support 🙌🏻

@francesco_romeo Kudos on creating Hell's Pitching and diving into the coding world to make it happen! Love the concept of brutally honest AI feedback — sometimes those hard truths can ignite the best pivots. Curious to know how the AI navigates through various industry jargons or niche market pitches to provide relevant advice? Cheers to your launch!
Francesco Romeo
@mocarg Thank you so much Momcilo 🙌🏻 Just like an investor would 👀 The plan though is to improve it and probably create many different characters specialised in different fields. The overall idea is to make it more detailed and expand its capabilities along with my coding skills

Hello Francesco! Without a doubt I've been looking for the tools like yours so long. I wish you luck with your project in the future!
Francesco Romeo
@alexanderptitsyn Thanks Alexander! Comments like yours are pushing me to expand the project even further to provide more value to startup founders!
Ross Currie
@francesco_romeo I just want to point out the irony that the "pat on the back" comment you received from @alexanderptitsyn is the type of comment pushing you to expand the project... the project whose value is that it doesn't just give you "pat on the back" feedback ;)

Sounds like a great idea! Having an honest AI assistant to provide thoughtful feedback will be invaluable in building a successful startup.
Francesco Romeo
@ayesha_awan1 Thanks! Yes, agree. AIs are tuned to be kind and agree with what we say/write. I wanted to change that and provide a different perspective to the users
Maria Loleyt
@ayesha_awan1 Absolutely Agree! I would say that it is especially valuable for the initial stage of startup development and for funding effort. If I can improve my startup presentation before (and during) the time of pitching to VCs - it is really great!
Francesco Romeo
@ayesha_awan1 @maria_loleyt Thanks Maria. Exactly the reason why I created Hell's Pitching. I hope it can help you and many others

I love the idea of a brutally honest AI! How do you ensure the AI's feedback is constructive and not demotivating for budding entrepreneurs?
Francesco Romeo
@narendra_solanki Thank you 🙏🏻 if you are demotivated by a chatbot you won't succeed in the startup world! Jokes aside, I tried to make it funny. Only the market can tell if your idea is good or not. Hell's Pitching should help in find the flaws before even building your idea, so you won't be demotivated after the launch
Narendra Solanki
@francesco_romeo Haha, fair point! I appreciate the humour and candidness in your response. Hell's Pitching seems like a great tool to help entrepreneurs refine their ideas before hitting the market. It's always better to find flaws early on rather than after investing time and resources into a launch. Thanks for creating such a unique tool to guide and challenge budding entrepreneurs in a fun way!
Francesco Romeo
@narendra_solanki Ahah thanks a lot for your kind words! They mean a lot to me. 🙌🏻
