Use case · Founders

Eyrie for founders.

For solo founders running three things at once, indie hackers shipping every weekend, and operators who took a Notion screenshot 18 months ago and have never been able to find it since. The AI you already pay for, finally working on the notes you actually write.

What founders actually use notes for.

1. Investor conversations.

You meet six VCs in two days. Each gives different advice, all of it confidently wrong about something. You need to remember who said what, who has follow-up questions, and which thread of feedback was the most useful. Eyrie's per-investor file + AI summary across them is the cheapest version of a fundraising CRM you'll find.

2. Customer interviews.

Transcripts, observations, pattern-matching. After 30 customer calls you can't keep them straight without help. Eyrie's chat panel: "What did Lily and Mark both say about pricing? Find every customer who mentioned the onboarding flow." Sourced answers with clickable chips.

3. Decisions you'll forget.

You made a call in March about something you'll question in October. Right or wrong, you need to remember why you made it. Daily-note files capture the reasoning at the moment it's freshest. Six months later: "What did I decide about partnership pricing and why?" — Eyrie surfaces the entry.

4. Cross-project pattern recognition.

You're running multiple things in parallel. Lessons from one apply to the others, but only if you can see the parallel. Smart Categories + semantic search let you ask "across all my projects, what mistakes keep repeating?" — and get answers grounded in your own writing.

5. The weekly review you actually do.

Most founders read "you should do weekly reviews" and bounce off the friction. Eyrie's daily-notes flow + an end-of-week AI summary turns the review into a 5-minute exercise: "Summarize this week's daily notes. What did I move forward, what's stuck, what's worth dropping?"

The honest pricing argument.

You already pay for AI somewhere. Probably $20/month for Claude Pro or ChatGPT. Probably another $20/month for Cursor. Probably $20-30/month for Notion or a competitor. The math:

• Notion + Notion AI: $20/month × 36 = $720 over 3 years. Your notes live on Notion's servers.
• Mem: $15/month × 36 = $540 over 3 years. Cloud-only.
• Eyrie: $79 once. Your existing AI subscription (Claude Pro etc.) connects via MCP. Total over 3 years: $79.

For solo founders especially: stop paying for software you already pay for somewhere else.

The founder workflow.

1. One folder per major project (e.g. ~/Notes/Eyrie/, ~/Notes/SideProjectX/).
2. Daily note file in each — what you worked on, what blocked you, what you decided. End-of-day skim, ~2 minutes.
3. Customer / investor / collaborator files. One file per person you have meaningful conversations with. Append after each call. Smart Categories tag them automatically.
4. Project decisions file per major area. The "why we did X" log future-you will thank you for.
5. Weekly review via AI. Friday: "Summarize this week across all projects. What's unresolved?" Two minutes, useful retro.
6. MCP into Claude Desktop for big synthesis jobs — drafting an investor update, writing a memo, refactoring a doc.
