How PivotBuddy Works

The Lean Vault: Your Startup's Persistent Memory

At the heart of PivotBuddy is the Lean Vault, which serves as your startup's persistent memory. This is the central repository where all your interactions with PivotBuddy and the platform's specialized tools are stored. When you initiate a new conversation, PivotBuddy first reviews your past session summaries to ensure context continuity.

This eliminates the need to constantly re-explain your product, your target market, or your current challenges, facilitating a seamless, ongoing dialogue. But PivotBuddy's functionality extends far beyond conversational partnership; it is also a sophisticated tool orchestrator.

This multi-agent system allows PivotBuddy to handle complex strategic tasks by routing your questions to specialized AI agents, such as the Business Plan Agent or the Marketing Strategy Agent. This architecture ensures that you are always receiving expert-level advice tailored specifically to your needs.

Example: "Should I build this feature?"

Instead of a simple "yes" or "no," PivotBuddy's multi-agent system provides a strategic response that:

Gives you a framework for thinking about the problem (e.g., using Impact vs. Effort from the Feature Prioritization Matrix)
Points you to the exact tool you need to validate your underlying assumptions (e.g., Interview Script Generator or Smoke Test Designer)
Records the question and the strategic outcome in the Lean Vault for future reference
