Why should I trust your bots?
These bots are guided by knowledge and materials from everywhere (e.g., podcasts, books, courses, looking through case studies of systems). So it's heavily influenced by guests on Lenny's Podcast, Marty Cagan's books, and BCG's lectures, or even debates from my Smart Nation days.
But you're right, take a skeptical view and always question what you read and hear!
How's this different from Pair?
I fine tuned a specific set of instructions based on materials I collected everywhere to give better answers for the topics above, akin to a Custom ChatGPT on OpenAI's store. Pair is a general AI assistant/chatbot.
Usage
How many messages can I send?
To prevent abuse, every user is allowed up to 200 prompts per day (over past 24-hour period).
How much does it cost?
It's free. The APIs cost me some money, and I'd have loved to charge a price so I can better tell true demand, but HR policies don't allow me to charge anything.
What LLM are you using?
I'm using models via Openrouter.
Nothing is happening when I click something!
Privacy
Where are you saving my chats?
They are stored in an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure VPS, the same place where this app is hosted. They're hosted in Oracle's DC in Singapore.
Where is the knowledge from?
Knowledge collected from notes and work done while in Smart Nation SG and ingesting tons of content from podcasts and books. Stuff from Lenny's Podcast, YC Startup School, All-In Podcast, Lean Startup etc.
Feedback
Your chatbot is trash / The responses I got were rubbish!
I'd be keen to know more, tell me about it so I can (hopefully) improve it.
I'd like to suggest a feature/bot.
