Every Startup Needs Volusion's FounderBot

Austin-based e-commerce software company Volusion got into the April Fool's spirit over the weekend, announcing the FounderBot, a product is says would let startup founders improve their work-life balance. The "FounderBot" software would use artificial intelligence to answer business questions, automatically handle funding road show issues, automatically order Soylent or pizza if a founder is working late; and even read bedtime stories to your kids and wash the dishes because you're still at the office. Volusion's April Fool's effort came complete with its own, slick product pitch video (embedded below). In real life, Volusion develops e-commerce software.
