Hey ProductHunt, Made a major update to YC Mentor. You can now get better feedback on your YC application. You can also create share links so you can get feedback from other people. Let me know what you think!
This is an awesome update, @dynamo! The ability to get AI feedback on YC applications sounds like a game-changer for applicants. Having the option to create share links to receive insights from real people adds a valuable layer of collaboration that can really enhance the application process.
I’m curious about how the feedback algorithms work. Are there specific areas of the application that the AI focuses on more? It’d be great to see what kind of metrics you’re using to measure the quality of the feedback too.
This feature should definitely improve the chances for many startups looking to get into YC. Excited to see how the community engages with this and what feedback they have! Keep up the fantastic work! 🚀
This is a really interesting update, @dynamo! Getting feedback on YC applications can be super critical for success. I’m curious about how the AI feedback mechanism works—does it focus on specific sections of the application or provide an overall analysis? Also, what kind of user data is used to train the AI for giving this feedback?
And regarding the share links feature, how do you ensure that the feedback from real people is constructive? Are there any built-in guidelines to help reviewers provide valuable insights? It's great to see such a resource for makers looking to refine their pitches. Looking forward to hearing more about it!
I tested this against ChatGPT and am not convinced that the quality of output in YC Mentor is better. I do appreciate this is a scrappy MVP but how are you going to improve on a bigger LLM even with behind the scenes prompt injection to make it more relevant? And how was this fine-tuned, anyhow, surely not on YC's content?
I'm really impressed with your tool, and I'm sharing information about you on Twitter. I'm using it now. Good luck!
