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.

Type or talk #

Ask in the text box, or tap the mic and just speak — your words appear in the box so you can edit before sending.

Share the conversation #

Like how it went? You'll get a shareable link to the whole conversation when your session ends.

Warming up the servers…
