Meet the Paul Graham avatar #
This is an AI avatar modeled on Paul Graham — it is not the real Paul Graham, and it isn't affiliated with or endorsed by him.
It applies the ideas, not just quotes them #
It's been trained not just to recall his essays, but to apply their thinking to your situation — so ask about your actual startup, not for trivia.
