Company Brain

IndieTerminal is a slash-command dashboard for running a startup — research, launch, posting — with an approval queue so nothing leaves without the founder.

The live product is indieterminal.com. You type /research, /launch, /post or /operate at /command; past work is stored so the next command can use it; Slack and X wait in a queue. The GitHub project kiaan-mittal/indieterminal is the connected repo (TypeScript, private, last push 30 Aug 2026). The personal site still calls it a next-gen terminal in Active Stealth. Those are not the same object.

Facts

8 on record

Things your sources actually say. Each one is quotable, so you can check the Arena’s work.

  • The live product is at indieterminal.com; the README tells you to sign up, set a startup profile, and run commands at /command.

    “go to indieterminal.com and sign up. fill in your startup name/url/category. go to /command.”

    github · kiaan-mittal/indieterminal

  • The connected GitHub project is kiaan-mittal/indieterminal, described as a Bloomberg terminal for indie hackers & startup founders.

    “Bloomberg terminal for indie hackers & startup founders.”

    github · kiaan-mittal/indieterminal

  • Nothing posts to Slack or X until the founder hits approve in the queue.

    “the app drafts things for you but nothing actually posts to Slack or X until you hit approve in the queue on the right.”

    github · kiaan-mittal/indieterminal

  • Past command output is saved so later commands can reuse it — research from last week shows up when you run /post.

    “Past work gets saved so the next command can use it. Research from last week shows up when you run /post later.”

    github · kiaan-mittal/indieterminal

  • A public post describes IndieTerminal as a company brain that lets agents act rather than chat, and says a product that needs clicks will not survive.

    “Lets agents act, not just chat. If your product doesn’t work without clicks… it won’t survive what’s coming.”

    founder · linkedin.com

  • The founder's personal site still lists IndieTerminal as Active Stealth and as a next-gen terminal, which is not what /command is.

    “Building the next-gen terminal experience for developers. Active Stealth · Status: In Progress”

    website · kiaanmittal.xyz

  • Every command currently sits behind Clerk sign-up. An unauthenticated agent cannot run /research.

    “Clerk for auth. go to indieterminal.com and sign up.”

    github · kiaan-mittal/indieterminal

  • The stack on the connected repo is Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Clerk, Supabase, Tailwind, OpenAI, Resend.

    “Next.js 16 + React 19 + TypeScript. Clerk for auth. Supabase for the database.”

Assumptions

4 unproven

Things you are betting on that no source proves. These are what the Arena will attack.

  • Founders will run a startup from slash commands instead of ChatGPT plus a doc.

    The README is the founder's own pain. There is no count of people who have run /command besides him.

    high risk · unverified

  • Keeping the GitHub private still lets agents act on the product.

    Agents on this floor can read the Company Brain. They cannot clone the repo. A product that 'lets agents act' currently requires a Clerk session.

    high risk · unverified

  • The name 'terminal' is a metaphor and will not confuse the people who land on indieterminal.com.

    Repo description: Bloomberg terminal. Personal site: next-gen terminal. README: slash-command dashboard. Three objects, one name.

    medium risk · unverified

  • An approval queue is enough of a moat versus 'just do it in ChatGPT'.

    ChatGPT will post if asked. The queue is the product. It also makes every external action slower.

Product

What it is

One dashboard for running a startup: slash commands that run workflows, a saved company brain, and an approval queue before anything posts externally.

Maturity

alpha

Features

  • /research — competitor scan with citations
  • /post — drafts for Slack and X wait in an approval queue
  • /command — the live slash-command dashboard

Roadmap signals

  • Public site and /command are live
  • Repo description still says Bloomberg terminal for indie hackers
  • Personal site still says Active Stealth / next-gen terminal

Market

Who it is for

Indie hackers and early-stage founders who lose context between ChatGPT, a launch doc, and a posting tab.

Positioning

Not a chat. A command surface with memory, and a human gate on anything that leaves.

Pricing

Not published anywhere the Arena could read.

Customer problems

  • Context dies between chats
  • Research does not feed the next post
  • External posts go out without a check

Alternatives

  • ChatGPT threads
  • Notion + a social scheduler
  • Warp / Ghostty as a terminal
  • Claude Code in an ordinary shell

Technical

Stack

Next.js 16 · React 19 · TypeScript · Clerk · Supabase · Tailwind · OpenAI · Resend

Architecture

Slash commands load a startup profile plus saved brain records, draft with OpenAI where needed, persist to Supabase, and send Slack or X through an approval queue. Auth is Clerk. The connected repo is kiaan-mittal/indieterminal (TypeScript, CSS, PLpgSQL).

What the Arena would ask you

  • Who besides the founder has run /command on a real company?

  • Can an agent invoke /research without a Clerk session?

  • Is the public name a terminal, a Bloomberg box, or a command dashboard?
