Paul Graham GPT is a specialized AI-powered search and chat app built on a corpus of essays from Paul Graham, giving users the ability to query and discuss his writings in a conversational way. The repo stores the full text of his essays (chunked), uses embeddings (e.g. via OpenAI embeddings) to allow semantic search over that corpus, and hosts a chat interface that combines retrieval results with LLM-based answering — enabling RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) over a fixed dataset. The app uses a Postgres database (with pgvector) hosted on Supabase for its embedding store, making the backend relatively simple and accessible, and the frontend is again built with Next.js/TypeScript for a modern responsive UI. By pulling together search and chat, it creates a useful tool both for readers who want to revisit or explore Paul Graham’s ideas thematically, and for learners or researchers who want to query specific essays or concepts quickly.
