A theme I have been hearing from founders lately is training an AI to create a virtual advisor. There are various flavors of this idea but here are a few I've heard in the last week:
1/ Train a virtual board. Pick ten to twenty real people (alive or dead) and collect all of their public speaking, public writing, and all that has been written about them, train an AI on them, and then ask them questions you would ask your board.
2/ Train a virtual CMO. Pick a bunch of the top CMOs and collect all of their public speaking, public writing, and all that has been written about them, train an AI on them, and then use this as your CMO.
3/ Train a virtual CFO. Pick a bunch of the top CFOs and collect all of their public speaking, public writing, and all that has been written about them, train an AI on them, and then use this as your CFO.
I would imagine there are startups out there that are building tools to make this sort of thing easier to do. I have not personally talked to any of them, but I am sure they exist.
But in all of the cases that I heard, the founder used one or more of the popular large language models (Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, Qwen, etc)
If you don't have the advisors you need, this is one way to address that.

Hi Casters. I've been noticing a trend among founders we work with. They are making advisors. https://avc.xyz/making-advisors
I literally use my Lulu advisor daily for founder comms. Itโs. So. Good. https://chatgpt.com/g/g-689f06cd754c8191a6231ff00f1285c9-go-absolutely-lulu Itโs trained on 10 years of Lulu Chengโs thinking writing and philosophy for direct founder comms.
What a cool ๐ Can we train a founder with artificial intelligence?!๐
go with the flow
I actually vibecoded a whole platform as a practice intelligence to run through decisions I make. Been bolting on new features as need arises rather than building something up completely so its lean and has utility.
That's awesome! I've always loved your beautiful landscapes.
How do you โeasilyโ train a bunch of content for a given purpose? (For the normal person) That is the question. Seems like a multi-billion use case opportunity for a product to emerge on top of the LLM underbellies.
Interesting take, btw any plans to mm the $avc token?
Good observation 1234 $TYSM I do this naturally as each sticking point of life rears its head. But I love the idea of rolling one prompt into a 10 persons advisory panel. Will give that a whirl definitely ๐

Iโm in for it - have you offer fred Wilson as a service? Haha!
