We built YC GPT to help founders improve their YC applications

Hacker News

Every year, thousands of founders apply to YC, but many don't get in because their applications suck That's why we built YC GPT, an AI-powered tool that helps you improve your YC application. you can try it out here: https://www.buildthatidea.com/ycgpt The tool isn't meant to write your entire application for you - instead, it helps you think through your answers more clearly and ensure you're highlighting the most important aspects of your business. we’d love to hear your feedback on how we can make it even more useful!
