Looking for cofounders for generative UI product

The problem I am trying to solve is simple to define: throw your data at it, and get a working UI out, in real-time, and no, not like chatGPT. If you have thought about this as a programmer, I don't think I need to explain the problem more, you must have faced it yourself.
I have been working on a generative UI engine actively for over a year and in bits and pieces a few years ago. I have made significant progress in studying the patterns, problem and solution space, algorithms that work and that don't, the approaches with machine learning and without, and most importantly dataset generation. I have narrowed down the best ways to tackle the challenge, but I think I need more hands and brains.
I believe I will greatly benefit from having cofounders, one or two, who bring complimentary skills, even technical or non-technical. I prefer at least one more technical cofounder though, because the UI generation domain is technically complex. Someone like an self-taught ML engineer would be awesome.
About me, I am 34, I have a good engineering acumen, I have been programming since I was 15, building complex tools from time to time, mostly for private use. But most importantly, I have a strong desire for building a great business. I have always been independent, self-employed, have run my own bespoke software company with a team of 15 till 2022, after which I decided to go solo in search for building something more product-driven.
You may want to explore teaming up with me if the answer is yes to the following questions:
- Does generative UI interest you?
- Have you tried solving it multiple times?
- Are you focused on and driven to this topic?
- Are you financially self-funded and independent?
- Can you be completely full-time on something like this?
- Are you sincerely open to commit to a partnership for at least a few years?
- Do you have some sort of leverage, such as skills, money, network, experience?
- If you are technical:
-- Are you good at either or both: mathematical reasoning and solving
-- Are you good at either or both: complex programming, probability + statistics + machine learning
- If you are non-technical:
-- Do you want to partner with someone highly technical?
-- Do you want to be a part of a generative tech company?
-- Are you good at fundraising, and have the necessary channels?
-- Are you good at sales?
My own skillset:
- Rapid programming and prototyping (can ship in 24 hours)
- Designing, flowcharting - as long as it has a canvas, any tool
- Good sense of design
- React (second fav), Svelte, Solid (my fav), vanilla JS
- JS, TS, some Python, mostly language agnostic
- Mathematical understanding
- Decent ground-up understanding of DSA
- MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL
- Enterprise architecture (have delivered a multi-million dollar project for a bank)
- Client-facing, productization, team-building etc.
I'm sure they'll be other questions on your mind, some questions you may want to ask publicly, and some questions privately. Feel free to engage.

Hey there! I’m also interested in generative UI projects. What skills are you looking for in cofounders? Personally, I have some experience in UI design and front-end development. If we’re on the same page, maybe we can chat more about your vision and how to make this idea happen together.

@dmellgren52982 Hi there, as I have mentioned in my post, the skills I'm looking for are highly technical, such as machine learning and data science expertise, or killer math skills, most importantly because this is fundamentally a complex mathematical modeling problem that needs to be cracked first.
