Great advice! The other thing I'd add is to get at least 4-5 YC alum to review your application in a Google doc and do practice interviews with them if you make it to the next round. Also, if you have friends who've done YC before, get them to recommend you!
I LOVE this. I pitched something similar (albeit far less intelligent) to my last employer only to get scoffed at, so it makes me really happy to see someone actually make and productize it. Wishing you success!
The demo videos with different block types are super interesting. Assuming there are plans to add image blocks or other rich/dynamic media? Could see that being very powerful as new models are made accessible.
Yes! We do support basic image blocks today, but the idea is that we’ll integrate generative media types as new image/video/audio models become more reliable & stable.
This was one of the coolest demos I've seen in a while. You should share that number around more prominently (and get more bandwidth, starting to get errors!), it does a fantastic job of explaining what you do.
The recent progress is truly something else. My friends who are in tech and/or are founders have been talking about this a lot -- it feels palpable, as if there's something in the air.
I don't feel dread but I do feel slight unease. I also feel excitement because I am still optimistic about the future, and feel that if we are lucky, we may get to witness something special.
EDIT: To all of those arguing GPT or ChatGPT answers are not great, try using it to write some code before you make any judgement.
You still have to prompt this code and you still have to verify the code works and fix it when it doesn't. People who use more basic autocomplete probably have it "writing" a double digit percentage of code, I don't think that makes it fair to say autocomplete is doing a double digit percentage of the work.
