SoloLaunch Platform Help
SoloLaunch (sololaunch.app) is an AI startup builder / co-pilot for solo founders. You give it a
one-line idea and it generates a "startup foundation" — company names and taglines, a logo and brand
identity, market analysis, an interactive timeline/roadmap, and marketing strategy playbooks —
organized in a multi-project workspace. Its differentiator vs its idea-validation siblings is pricing:
a low-cost monthly subscription (free Starter → paid Pro), not one-time or credit-pack. It is a fast
asset generator, not a substitute for real demand validation, and it has no documented public API
(a UI tool).
> ⚠️ Domain disambiguation. The co-pilot is at sololaunch.app. A separate, unrelated product at
> sololaunch.ai is an AI-app launch directory ("Where solo builders launch AI apps"). If the user
> means the directory (submitting/listing an app, upvotes, weekly newsletter), that's a launch-directory
> question — route to /sales-launch-directory, not here.
Step 1 — Gather context
If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.
Ask only what you can't infer:
- What do you want from SoloLaunch?
- A) Generate a startup name, tagline, logo, or brand identity
- B) Build a launch roadmap / interactive timeline, or get a marketing strategy
- C) Understand the free Starter tier vs the paid Pro subscription (what's gated)
- D) Get more useful/tailored output out of it (how to frame the idea input) - Do you have a clear idea description ready? Output quality tracks the detail you give it.
- Do you mean sololaunch.app (the co-pilot) or sololaunch.ai (the launch directory)? If the latter,
route to/sales-launch-directory.
Skip-ahead: if the user wants the validate-before-building method or to compare validators, that's a
/sales-idea-validation question — route in Step 2.
Step 2 — Route or answer directly
| If the user's question is about… | Route to |
|---|---|
| The validate-before-building method, or comparing idea/startup-builder tools across the market | /sales-idea-validation {question} |
| Submitting/listing an app on sololaunch.ai (the launch directory), upvotes, launch-day exposure | /sales-launch-directory {question} |
| Building the actual landing page / smoke test the demand test runs on | /sales-funnel {question} |
| Content-marketing strategy across tools (SEO content, editorial, distribution) | /sales-content {question} |
| Growing a pre-launch waitlist / capturing real demand | /sales-audience-growth {question} |
When routing, give the exact command: "This is a {domain} question — run: /sales-idea-validation {original question}"
Otherwise, answer SoloLaunch-specific questions using Step 3.
Step 3 — SoloLaunch platform reference
Read references/platform-guide.md for the full reference — the generator lineup (names, taglines,
logo/brand, market analysis, timeline, marketing strategy) and what each produces, the free-Starter-vs-
paid-Pro subscription split and best-effort pricing, how to frame the idea input for tailored output,
and the no-public-API automation reality.
Answer using only the relevant section — don't dump the full reference.
Step 4 — Actionable guidance
- Frame a rich idea input — output quality tracks input depth. A one-line prompt yields generic
names/branding/strategy; feed it a specific customer, the exact problem, and how it's different, then
re-run variants and compare. Tell the user to treat every generated asset as an editable first draft. - Keep the assets, not the verdict — a generated "startup foundation" is NOT validated demand.
SoloLaunch will happily produce a name, logo, timeline, and marketing plan for an idea nobody wants. If
the real question is "should I build this?", route to/sales-idea-validationand get real signal (a
smoke test / pre-sale). Harvest its branding/positioning to sharpen the pitch; take the go/no-go from
real behavior. - Model the pricing as a monthly subscription with two named tiers, and flag it as best-effort.
Whenever pricing or "is it worth it" comes up, name both tiers explicitly: a free Starter tier
(gated — caps generations to e.g. a few names/24h, one tagline, and a watermarked logo) and a paid
Pro tier (unlocks unlimited generations and full, unwatermarked asset packages). Contrast the model
with siblings — unlike FounderPal (one-time/lifetime) or IdeaProof/ReadySetLaunch (credit packs),
SoloLaunch is a recurring monthly subscription — so frame value as "how many months will I actively
use it" against the monthly fee, and tell the user to confirm current tiers/prices at sololaunch.app. - There's no public API — don't plan an integration around it. If asked to automate/export, say
plainly there's no documented public API; it's a UI tool. Copy outputs manually or use a tool built for
programmatic generation, and automate real signals (landing-page conversions), not generated assets. - Disambiguate the domain before answering. If the user's task is submitting/listing an app or a
launch-day directory push, they mean sololaunch.ai (the directory) — route to
/sales-launch-directory, not this skill.
If you discover a gotcha or tip not in references/learnings.md, append it there with today's date.
Gotchas
Best-effort from research (2026-07) — the tool lineup and pricing move; verify at sololaunch.app.
- A generated "startup foundation" is not validated demand. Names, logos, timelines, and marketing
plans are AI assets — pair them with a real demand test (/sales-idea-validation). - Two SoloLaunches. sololaunch.app = the AI co-pilot (this skill); sololaunch.ai = a separate AI-app
launch directory (/sales-launch-directory). Don't conflate them. - Output quality depends on input depth. A thin idea input → generic names/branding; the tailoring is
the point, so frame a specific customer + problem + differentiation. - Pricing is a monthly subscription, not one-time or credits — the free Starter tier gates generations
(name-per-24h caps, one tagline, watermarked logo). Confirm live at sololaunch.app; treat prices as best-effort. - No documented public API. It's a web tool; don't plan integrations around it.

Examples
Example 1: Generate a name, logo, and brand for a new idea
User says: "I have a budgeting app for freelancers — can SoloLaunch give me a name, logo, and branding?"
Skill does: Points to SoloLaunch's name/tagline/logo/brand-identity generators, stresses framing the
idea richly (specific customer, exact problem, differentiation) so the output beats a generic prompt, and
frames every asset as an editable first draft. Notes the free Starter tier caps generations and watermarks
the logo, so unlimited output needs paid Pro.
Result: A tailored starting brand kit the founder refines, with clear expectations on the free-tier limits.
Example 2: "SoloLaunch built my whole startup foundation — am I validated?"
User says: "SoloLaunch generated a name, timeline, and marketing strategy for my idea. Does that mean it's validated?"
Skill does: Separates a generated foundation from validated demand — SoloLaunch can produce a full
kit for an idea nobody wants — and routes the build-or-not decision to /sales-idea-validation (smoke test
+ pre-sale), keeping SoloLaunch's branding/positioning as pitch-sharpening input.
Result: The founder gets real demand signal before building, using SoloLaunch for the assets, not the verdict.
Example 3: Can I automate SoloLaunch via API? (developer/automation)
User says: "I want to generate names and brand kits for 20 ideas from a script — what's SoloLaunch's API?"
Skill does: States plainly there's no documented public API (it's a UI tool), so there's no
supported way to batch it; suggests copying outputs manually or using a tool built for programmatic
generation (or calling an LLM API directly), and notes the thing worth automating is a real demand signal,
not generated assets — pointing to /sales-idea-validation.
Result: The user avoids building on a non-existent API and picks a workable path.
Troubleshooting
Output feels generic / like plain ChatGPT
Symptom: The generated names, branding, or marketing strategy are vague and could fit any product.
Cause: The idea input was thin — SoloLaunch's tailoring needs detail to beat a generic model.
Solution: Re-run with a rich description — specific customer, the exact problem, how the solution
differs, current stage — and compare variants; the more context, the more tailored the output.
Hit a limit / logo is watermarked
Symptom: Ran out of name generations, only got one tagline, or the logo has a watermark.
Cause: Those are free Starter tier gates — SoloLaunch bills a monthly subscription and reserves
unlimited generations and clean assets for paid Pro.
Solution: If you'll use it actively, weigh the low monthly Pro fee against how many months you'll use
it (it's a subscription, not one-time/credits); confirm the current tiers/limits at sololaunch.app.
"Is there an API?" / wrong SoloLaunch
Symptom: Looking for API docs, or confused between sololaunch.app and sololaunch.ai.
Cause: The co-pilot (sololaunch.app) has no documented public API; sololaunch.ai is a different
product — an AI-app launch directory.
Solution: Don't build an integration around the co-pilot — copy outputs manually. If the task is
listing/launching an app on the directory, that's /sales-launch-directory. Automate real demand signals
(landing-page analytics) instead. See /sales-idea-validation.
