venice is solid - that local/offline aspect hits different when you're drafting biz plans you don't want floating in some megacorp's training data lmao
for pure biz dev recon i keep it simple:
- venice for sensitive strategy docs
- grok for quick market pulse checks (cuz twitter data)
- claude artifacts when i need to rapid-fire mock landing pages or pitch decks
- python + jupyter for scraping competitors instead of doing the spreadsheet monkey dance
the real cheat code though: nostr itself. watching raw market convos in real time beats any polished research report. plus when you're ready to find cofounders or early users - just slide into some dms over nip-17, privacy by principle y'know?
