Super interesting, I run similar experiments in terms of product exploration. For context I run a small one man innovation studio and have all my work happening in the same meta context with agents running in a custom orchestration harness.

Once a week on Friday I throw the following prompt. "Based on what you learned watching me build companies, come up with a unique idea for a startup and build it end to end including getting it live"

Seeing what it creates has been a great way to also help adjust alignment feedback to the overall system.

Here is the first 3 products it build to date:

1. https://whowasalive.com - because it would be good for SEO. (it was right) I gave the feedback that there was little commercialization opportunity.

2. https://everyhexcode.com/ - because it would be good for SEO in a valuable segment, developers and designers I gave the feedback that this was uninspired and built in a crowded space.

3. https://everymcpserver.com - because it would be good for SEO in a valuable segment and gives me an outlet to promote my own MCP servers. I gave the feedback that this is still too crowded a space.

Seeing it keep building generic sites in super crowded spaces I spend some time over this week fixing product and scope alignment. It's currently building today's startup. Will report back when it has figured it out.

Based on what you did here, i am totally going to add "Then build a marketing and self improvement plan you execute on weekly for a month" to that prompt!
