I built this because GPT kept hallucinating what PG “might say.” This custom GPT only pulls from paulgraham.com — no summaries, no fluff, just cited answers straight from his essays. Built for builders who want clarity, not noise.

This is such a smart idea — cutting through the noise and grounding responses in PG’s actual essays is a huge win for clarity and insight. Love the focus on citation and depth. Built for builders, by one. Congrats on the launch! 🚀📚

Tried giving it a go but getting a not found error?

@daivikgoel Okay, would you be able to share the error screenshot? Was the "not found" error after you used the CustomGPT or before?
@raunaqvaisoha Seems to work now, very cool and congrats on the launch!
Probably the two best ways I think about how to prompt my friend's practice fundraising pitches is to give the general company idea into chatgbt and then ask what would Paul Graham ask (and also take a very different investor Keith Rabios). I like the essay specific look up here.. Thanks for building this.
This is awesome. I’ve had so many times where GPT made up stuff that sounded like PG but wasn’t real. Love that this only uses his actual essays. Super useful for anyone building or writing.
I use it to think through product decisions — it’s way cleaner and more focused than generic bots.
