Build AI Yourself and Moat Checker

This tool gives you a concrete, step-by-step plan for building your AI project — whether that means using AI directly, building a product on top of it, fine-tuning a model, or training one from scratch. If you're building a product on AI, it also checks whether your idea can survive a foundation model shipping the same feature natively, using the same test that separates lasting products like Cursor and Harvey from stalled ones like Jasper.

How to use it:

  • Answer one question about what you're actually trying to build.

  • See which of the five building levels your project falls into, with real companies at that level and concrete next steps.

  • If you're building a product on AI, answer three more questions to see whether it's a defensible business or an easy-to-replace wrapper.
