This is pretty cool. So you took all of the YC mentors' written advice and loaded it into a knowledgebase for a GPT4 bot? Is there something you could do to make it more personal? Like, I'd love to create an account and start feeding it specifics of my startup so that the advice would be tailored to my situation, set up milestones, goals, track them, etc.If there is going to be an AI platform that is designed around the founder, this could be a great start.
I tested this against ChatGPT and am not convinced that the quality of output in YC Mentor is better. I do appreciate this is a scrappy MVP but how are you going to improve on a bigger LLM even with behind the scenes prompt injection to make it more relevant? And how was this fine-tuned, anyhow, surely not on YC's content?
couldn't find this that useful to me

Not so useful but MetorCruise or Porada is more helpful in this case
