Description

Founden is an engine for autonomous software that builds and runs your entire company, including its product, website, and back office. By describing what you want in plain English, the AI handles the code, design, hosting, payments, and email, continuously developing the software on the schedule you set.

ChatGPT is a web-based artificial intelligence service that allows users to interact with conversational models developed by OpenAI.
