Get useful answers while keeping the evidence in view.

Illustrative idea, not a published runnable template. Grunt is prelaunch; live service is paused and live provider connections and outcomes remain unverified. The steps, providers, and outcomes below describe a concept.

Organize Paul Graham’s published essays as a reference collection, then use relevant passages to prepare answers to readers’ questions. Show which essays support each response so people can check the source, understand its context, and spot conclusions that need more evidence.

Actual availability depends on published steps, supported connections, permissions, and provider approval.

What this workflow could do

Helps readers find and compare ideas across a collection of essays and see the material behind an answer.

Review points proposed in this idea

A response can misread an author’s point or cite a passage that does not fully support its conclusion. Keep answers grounded in the original essays, make gaps and uncertainty clear, and ask readers to verify important interpretations at the cited source.

Choose the essays in scope

Use the intended published essay collection and keep each entry connected to its original source.

Proposed setup considerations

These are planning notes for the concept, not instructions for a currently available template.

  1. 01

    Select the published essay collection

    Confirm which essays are included and preserve their titles and original locations.

  2. 02

    Set expectations for evidence and attribution

    Decide how answers should cite passages, handle uncertainty, and distinguish an interpretation from a source statement.

  3. 03

    Choose who can use the collection

    Limit access to the intended readers and keep questions or conversation history appropriately private.

  4. 04

    Test questions with clear and limited evidence

    Check that useful answers show their sources and that unsupported questions are identified rather than guessed at.
