hey Product Hunt, Vic here.
i use Claude and Cursor for a lot of my product decisions, and when i asked things like "how would Pieter Levels price this?" the answer always sounded confident. but i couldn't tell what he actually said vs what the model made up.
so i built The Brains. each founder, CEO or investor is an MCP server built from their public talks, essays, interviews and posts. your AI searches what they actually said, and every answer links back to the source.
what's in it today:
- 37 brains, including Paul Graham, Pieter Levels, Naval, Lenny Rachitsky, Jason Cohen and yes, Ryan Hoover
- one URL per brain, or one connector for all of them
- works in Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, Codex and any MCP client
- free and MIT licensed, so you can run it yourself or build your own brain
- unofficial and built only from public material. if you're one of the people and want something fixed or removed, just email me
would love to know who you want added next and where the answers feel thin. i'm here all day reading every comment.
