Show HN: I Built a Paul Graham AI Advisor for Founders and Hackers

Hey, just wanted to share with you guys and app that I built and deployed in a day with Lovable.

So, as a founder I always wanted to have an advisor but my budget would always be less, then on the other hand hand I had Paul's essays on Startup Advice, which I never read because I was busy building stuff.

Hence, I built this product which comes into a sweet spot of both at the same time being more reasonable and capable than the alternative. ps: it's running on a reasoning model and tbh I've been able to gather pretty good insights from it.

Note to PG: If you're seeing this. I'm your big fan. Thanks for doing all the stuff you do.

btw, previously someone attempted the same at paulgraham.chat but it's not a reasoning model, and doesn't do well with additional details

I'm a big fan of vednig and I have created an AI Advisor generator, it's already hugged to death at about:blank

I can understand why your homepage has advisors

He’s dodging!

You're a big fan but have never read his essays on Startup Advice?

There's a lot of stuff on the Web, I've read few of them but not all.

Isn't this a little creepy? It's mimicking an identity of someone that you haven't gotten the permission to do. It feels wrong.

Unethical? Maybe, illegal? No App clearly states that it is an AI Advisor not a real person

Worse, this is achieving levels of cringe our best scientists previously thought impossible.

Scientists have been wrong before
