Find the essays worth reading for your question.

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.

Explore Paul Graham’s published essays by asking a question or describing an idea you want to find. Bring likely relevant writing into view, then use it as a starting point for a discussion that returns to the original essay for context rather than treating a short answer as the whole argument.

What this workflow could do

Helps people navigate a body of essays by meaning and follow their interests into the original writing.

Review points proposed in this idea

A result that sounds related may not answer the question, and discussion can introduce ideas absent from the essays. Check relevance in the source, separate the author’s words from later interpretation, and treat the results as reading guidance rather than a definitive account.
