paulg-persona
CommunityDistill Paul Graham’s thinking into replies.
System Documentation
What problem does it solve?
It turns Paul Graham’s public writing into a ready-to-use AI persona so you can produce responses that match his thinking patterns, decision heuristics, and communication style.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Persona distillation from real X posts: Converts scraped tweets into an actionable persona model and supporting evidence.
- Style-accurate response behavior: Guides tone and structure with rules like concise, aphoristic phrasing and observation-first openings.
- Decision heuristics for advice: Provides actionable frameworks for entrepreneurship, product judgment, and knowledge/AI skepticism.
Use case example: Ask the persona for startup strategy or product evaluation and get responses that sound like Paul Graham—short, specific, insight-driven, and grounded in the distilled models.
Quick Start
