AI Startup-in-a-Box 🚀

A multi-agent system that simulates a complete startup team with specialized AI agents working together to build and launch your startup idea.

Early-stage founders often struggle because they lack a complete team (developer, marketer, analyst, designer). This system provides a virtual startup team that collaborates in real-time to turn your idea into a comprehensive business plan.

🤖 Multi-Agent Team

• CEO Agent → Sets business goals and strategic direction
• Developer Agent → Generates code snippets and prototypes
• Marketing Agent → Drafts campaigns and social media content
• Analyst Agent → Evaluates competitors and market fit

🚀 Features

• Real-time Collaboration: Watch agents work together live
• Interactive Dashboard: Beautiful React frontend with live agent logs
• Comprehensive Output: Business plan, code prototypes, marketing materials, and analysis
• Auto-generated Presentations: PowerPoint slides for your pitch deck
• Market Analysis: SWOT charts and competitor analysis

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Backend: Python + FastAPI + LangChain
• Frontend: React + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS + Framer Motion
• AI: OpenAI GPT-4/5 API (or open-source alternatives)
• Real-time: WebSocket communication
• Visualization: Plotly charts and matplotlib

🏃‍♂️ Quick Start

1. Clone and Setup:

   git clone <your-repo>
   cd ai-startup-in-a-box
   pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Environment Setup:

   cp .env.example .env
