Yes And? bot was built to help come up with better hackathon ideas. I've found it to be legitimately helpful, and I think it's great for people who struggle to consider the many variables around their idea.
We built it by using GPT-3 on autocomplete, and feeding it this prompt:<p>In a meeting room, two people are talking about an idea they have for a new startup. The first person needs someone to validate their idea. The second person is very creative and experienced employee, so they are trying to help the first person by pointing out things that might make their idea fail. The second person guides the first person through a thought process towards a successful idea.”<p>Then we added examples of dialog of these two personas:<p>First person: “Hey, I was thinking on creating an app for the company so we could get points every month and we send those points for people we like their job.”<p>Second person: “How do people earn points? And what do they do with them?”<p>First person: “They get 25 points every month, and they could redeem rewards like caps, t-shirts and custom iPhone cases; things like that so people can feel how much they are appreciated by their team.”<p>Second person: “Wouldn’t that be a big cost for the company?”<p>With this the AI(Second person) has context and the format to ask questions the same way during the real conversations.
