Echomindr — Founder Experience Retrieval
Real founder decisions. Not hallucinated advice.
No API key required. Free to use.
When to use this skill
Use when the conversation touches a business situation where a real founder example would be more useful than a generic answer:
- - A tension, dilemma, or difficult decision in their business
- A go-to-market, product, hiring, fundraising, or positioning question
- Uncertainty about what to do next ("how do I...", "should I...")
- The user asks "what did other founders do when..."
- Any question about: pricing, launch timing, co-founder tension, fundraising, burnout, hiring, growth, PMF
Only a short, anonymized description of the business situation is sent to Echomindr. No personal data, names, or identifying information should be included in the query.
Primary endpoint — situation match

CODEBLOCK1
Behavior instructions
- 1. Reformulate the founder's situation structurally (not literally):
- "my team doesn't work without me" → "founder operational bottleneck, no middle management layer"
- "sales take too long" → "B2B deal stuck, champion without authority to decide"
- "how to convince users to try my product" → "early adoption friction, behavior change required, demo strategy"
- 2. Call
POST /situation with that reformulated sentence - Present results: founder name, decision, outcome, lesson
- Always include the source link from INLINECODE1
- If multiple results converge on a pattern, surface it
Example situations
- - "My co-founder and I want different things."
- "I launched and nobody is signing up."
- "I'm burning out but I can't stop."
- "Should I raise VC or stay bootstrapped?"
- "My best engineer just quit."
- "We have traction but no revenue model."
Languages
Works in English, French, Swedish, and 20+ languages. BGE-M3 multilingual vector search.

何时使用此技能
当对话涉及以下商业情境，且真实的创始人案例比泛泛而谈的答案更有用时，请使用此技能：
- - 业务中遇到的紧张局势、两难困境或艰难决策
- 关于市场进入、产品、招聘、融资或定位的问题
- 对下一步行动感到不确定时（我该如何……、我是否应该……）
- 用户询问其他创始人在……时做了什么
- 任何关于：定价、发布时机、联合创始人矛盾、融资、倦怠、招聘、增长、产品市场契合度的问题

行为指令
- 1. 结构化重构创始人的情境（非字面翻译）：
- 我的团队没有我就无法运转 → 创始人成为运营瓶颈，缺乏中层管理层
- 销售周期太长 → B2B交易陷入僵局，有支持者但无决策权
- 如何说服用户尝试我的产品 → 早期采用障碍，需要改变行为，演示策略
- 2. 使用重构后的句子调用 POST /situation
- 展示结果：创始人姓名、决策、结果、教训
- 始终包含 source.urlatmoment 中的来源链接
- 如果多个结果指向同一模式，则明确指出
示例情境
- - 我和联合创始人的目标不一致。
- 产品上线了，但没人注册。
- 我快累垮了，但停不下来。
- 应该融资还是保持自力更生？
- 我最优秀的工程师刚辞职了。
- 我们有增长势头，但没有收入模式。
