Thank you for the explanation.

As a LLM wrapper (is it wrapped around ChatGPT?) would you say what makes your product unique is the specific prompts you have designed?

Again, great job! Planning, building and launching should always be commended!

Good job on the product and launching @aaln!

I can see it being useful for many home buyers.

I’m curious if AI tools like this are just wrappers around ChatGPT? Do they use their own LLM?

If you upload mortgage documents directly to ChatGPT can you get similar results?

New comment by aoppaol in "Be more lucky"

Imagine a group of people on vacation in Spain. They decide to take a tour bus to visit a new town a few hours away.

About halfway into the journey the bus engine dies and the bus comes to a halt and can no longer continue.

Half the people storm off the bus complaining. “How could this happen??” “Our vacation is ruined!” “Worst vacation ever!!”

The other half gets off the bus and says, “Let’s explore this area today!”

I consider myself a very lucky person. Being lucky doesn’t mean nothing bad happens. It means when things go wrong, we are like water and easily adjust to the new circumstances.

The way to be lucky is to built these three essential ingredients: Resilience, Optimism and Gratitude.

I would go further and say the key to a great life is Resilience, Optimism and Gratitude.
