I will try here: https://myownlore.com :)

But my experience is that the agent matters a bit more than the model. It is fun on ChatGPT because of its recent (?) bias to always be creating images for conversations around fiction.

Thanks! Very valuable feedback. I'll try to think of a prompt that is not so insistent and able to change gears

Well, up for a good start. Here is the summary of the first complete response lol

"The user enjoys engaging on Hacker News to "own" others and feels that being superior is valuable to them. They spend about an hour a month on the site, strategically posting to win discussions. They look for opportunities to stand out by owning others. They find Hacker News great overall but are annoyed by a specific user named dang. Despite challenges, the user keeps coming back for the chance to own others. They'd like to see more users to own on the platform."

EDIT: It actually just gave me the first idea for iteration, the ability to mark a response as not valid (so it doesn't count for the general survey AI summary, for example). So thanks!

Well, I am trying to do it right now through a Show HN here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43971523

It is supposed to be a fun demo, let's see if it works

Hey HN,

This is a Show HN (poorly) disguised as an Ask HN.

I'm launching https://www.parliant.ai, a survey tool that rethinks how surveys are created and answered. Instead of building forms, the survey creator just writes what they want to learn and AI takes it from there, chatting with respondents to get meaningful answers.

To show how it works, I’ve created a short demo survey with the question in the title. The idea is for you to try it out and see the respondent experience, which is really the core of the innovation. I’d love to get your answers and your feedback.

The survey is open to the first 100 completed responses (or fewer, if too many people start it and I need to rein in LLM costs). I'll comment here the AI summary of the final result once it's done. Also, maybe an AI summary highlight of a response or two.

If you like the UX, there’s a link in the header to the traditional landing page with more info.

No fiddling with radio buttons or obsessing over perfect question wording. Just type your intent, and the AI figures out how to ask and follow up.
