I've been building Vehique for the past year – basically an AI operating system for car shopping and research. Users describe what they want in natural language, we search live inventory and curate results, they can compare 2-4 cars side by side, and a scout agent runs hourly and daily to find new listings that match their preferences.

Here's the thing, I don't have savings, will be graduating in may, and building solo. users keep visiting the product (3k monthly now) but scaling is tough on my own. been considering applying for yc and other accelerators but also job hunting as backup.

For those who've built marketplace or consumer products or worked on similar problems – am i chasing something real here or should i take a swe job and shelve this? not looking for encouragement, just honest takes on whether this problem is worth the next year of my life.

The tech stack is a multi-agent system with llms. happy to share more details if useful.
