For solo founders
Dorian sits down with you each week, hears what you've taken on, and asks next week whether you actually did it.
Between sessions, Dorian is there for the thinking work: decisions, plans, sticking points. Dorian is aware of your goals, your history, and how you work.
You said you’d do it last week.
You meant to do it. The week had other ideas (or you did, quietly, without quite deciding to). Either way, Friday arrived and the thing that mattered on Monday was still exactly where you left it.
This is the thing that doesn’t get solved by another task manager. It gets solved by someone who asks.
An honest peer, not a cheerful coach.
Once a week, you sit down together. You say what you're working on, what's stuck, what you've taken on. Dorian listens, helps you think it through, and records your commitments.
Next week, Dorian opens with: did you do it? What got in the way?
Between sessions, Dorian is there for the work that solo founders normally do alone. The decision you're turning over, the plan you're not sure about, the week that's about to go sideways. He knows your goals, your history, and the commitments on your record.
He is not a coach. He is not a chatbot.
He is the person in the room that co-founded teams have by default.
Persistent. Honest. Present.
The gap isn’t intelligence. Any good AI can help you reason. The gap is continuity and honesty. Dorian carries your commitments forward across weeks: what you said, whether you did it, what kept stopping you. He will not tell you the plan is great. He will ask whether you’ve tested the assumption underneath it. That structured continuity is what coaches deliver weekly and what other AI tools can’t deliver at all: because they don’t remember you exist between conversations.
Other AI tools will help you think through anything.
Dorian will ask you next week whether you did it.
Coaching works best when the work between sessions does too.
Dorian is there for that: available the moment you need it.
A task manager will record what you said you’d do.
Dorian will bring it back when it matters and ask what got in the way.
Most AI tools are designed to encourage you.
Dorian is designed to be honest with you.
One practice. Three moments.
Weekly session
You reflect, untangle what's stuck, and make clear commitments. Next week, Dorian opens by asking whether you kept them.
Between sessions
There for the thinking work: decisions, plans, sticking points. It knows your goals and your history. It is not starting from scratch every time you open it.
The record
Every commitment on a quiet ledger. No notifications, no badges. It comes back when you're in a session and can do something about it.
The ones worth answering honestly.
Is this just an LLM with a system prompt?
No. An LLM alone forgets you exist between conversations. Dorian carries your commitments, your history, and your working style forward across weeks and surfaces patterns you can't see when you're inside the week. The continuity is the product. The insight comes from it.
Is Dorain just going to tell me what I want to hear?
No. Dorian is designed to be honest, not encouraging. He will not validate the plan, he will ask whether you've tested the assumption underneath it. If you wanted a cheerleader, this is the wrong tool.
Will it actually remember what I said three weeks ago?
Yes. Your commitments, your goals, and the thread of your sessions are persistent. That's the mechanism. Not a feature, the whole point.
I don't need a coach.
Dorian isn't one. Coaching is a service. Dorian is a relationship built into a weekly practice.
I already have a coach.
Good. Dorian is there the other six days holding the thread between sessions so you show up with more to work with.
Will I actually use Dorian in week three?
Honest answer: only if the weekly session earns its slot. We've designed Dorian to be worth showing up to, not to gamify your attendance. Whether it sticks depends on whether it's useful. Week one will tell you.
Built by a solo founder who needed it.
I ran a digital agency for over a decade and have been building software for nearly thirty years. The thing I kept running into wasn't a lack of ideas or capability: it was the gap between deciding something and actually doing it, with no one in the room to notice the difference.
Co-founded teams have that by default. Someone to hold you to what you said. Someone to think alongside when the decisions get hard. I built Dorian because I didn't have that, and I knew other solo founders didn't either.
