“I've always struggled to make sense of my notes and figure out what to study. Notiv gave me a clear plan and helped me actually retain the material. Bringing my GPA up by 0.9 points in just one semester.” This sounds kind of fake, like a character playing a customer saying good things about your product.

Yep it's 100% AI, the format of the homepage is exactly what you get when you ask for a homepage from ai

Or I saw Marc Lou and his format and got some idea from him.

For the last few months I've been using notebooklm.google.com. I can't see anything better from this site/ author...is there something I'm missing? Tried youtube to see it in action...nothing. On a privacy note, item 4 of the privacy link states: You can request deletion of your data by contacting us at [email address]. So if, in the future, something happens...what then? Seems like a lot of info [for me] to give out…

Do you mean if I stop working on this project? The only info being stored is your email. All notes and uploads aren’t stored anywhere and when you delete a note they are gone forever. Ai doesn’t store them either as they only see the info temporarily.

you seem smart. why waste your life on this superficial startup nonsense? you still have time to change directions and work towards something important. it's hard to change directions after you've made startup money.

It’s my first real product at 16? Should I be making the next billion dollar corp? I’m just figuring things out before going to uni.

The idea is very good, it's just annoying that the current (i made ai startup) trend is to vibe generate something that is a wrapper for other AI models and already ask for $15 for it. Do you even realize how much work has been done in OpenAI to ask us for $20 a month? How many engineers and scientific articles? From my point of view, for this not to be a scam: 1 - there should first be a video presentation of the pr…

If you make a free account you’ll see it’s not a scam. I do agree a demo video would be a good idea.

The user images look AI-generated, based on e.g. the fingers in https://www.notiv.app/lovable-uploads/9224843e-e523-4691-951... I think this is inherently dishonest because it's made to look like they're real users. Is the image and testimonial from "Conner" on the Features page also fake?

None of the images are fake, most of them are from a free licensing site. And the Conner photo is my friend.

I love the amount of effort spent on avoiding studying! I used to make and update timetables and revision plans. This is next level! Congrats on launching though, this is an amazing achievement and the dedication/skill set will take you far.

Thank you. I’m hoping I can improve in this idea.

Great job and good luck. There's still time left to apply to YC's 2025 summer batch: [0] You have 48 hours left until applications close on May 13th. Who knows, maybe you could achieve fast growth like Scale AI (YC S16) [1] did. All you have to do is to keep building.

lol I don’t think my idea is that revolutionary. Maybe I make something good enough for the YC in the future. I’m happy you like my product!
