| # VentureForge 🚀 |
|
|
| An autonomous multi-agent system that discovers startup ideas by mining real user pain points from online communities, evaluating them with Paul Graham-inspired criteria, and generating investor-ready pitch briefs. |
|
|
| **Built for AMD AI Hackathon | Track 1: AI Agents & Agentic Workflows** |
|
|
| ## Features |
|
|
| - 🔍 **Pain Point Mining** from Hacker News, Product Hunt, and web search |
| - 🤖 **6 Specialized Agents** (Orchestrator, Miner, Generator, Scorer, Writer, Critic) |
| - ✅ **Binary Rubric Evaluation** (yes/no checks, not subjective scores) |
| - 🔄 **Reflection Loop** with adversarial critique (max 3 revisions) |
| - 📊 **Real-time Progress** tracking in Gradio UI |
| - 🎯 **Token Optimized** for vLLM 2048 token limit |
|
|
| ## How to Use |
|
|
| 1. **Set API Keys** in Space Settings → Repository secrets: |
| - `YOUTUBE_API_KEY` (required) |
| - `PRODUCTHUNT_API_KEY` (optional) |
| ` (optional) |
|
|
| 1. **Enter a domain** (e.g., "developer tools", "healthcare", "fintech") |
|
|
| 2. **Click "Start Discovery"** and watch the agents work! |
