I try to have a roadmap.
What features do I want, in what order?
What milestones or KPIs do I want to hit before doing x, y, or z?
But I treat it like a map. It's a tool I can use to navigate, but I can be adaptable and chart new courses as I experience more of the terrain by traveling it.

Tell me more about your context issues?
I'm wondering if, because your all of your GPTs developed by OpenAI (4o, 4.5, o3, etc.) share context, if using one of their models vs. a closed model causes more context bleed.
Would help to understand what you're seeing before I get too far into theory!

We've been building ADVYSOR.AI to be the best-in-class GPT co-founder. I've been dogfooding it since I joined the project 3 weeks ago, and it helps me every day and night I am working!
I'm curious what you've been using as an AI co-founder? What's great about it? Where does it fall short?

Build the SaaS with the first client.
Don't build a product you think someone wants, build it together with someone who wants it.
Then find people with the same problem, show them how you solved it for the first person, and expand features if needed.
Discovery -> implementation -> promotion.
