Show HN: Insanely powerful, AI-generated, briefs on investors/thought leaders

The text on the landing page "to help you create brilliant…" is being stomped over by the scrolling element that shows words CEOs, leaders, innovators, people, etc.
"Insanely powerful" in the headline here seems a bit much. We did a lot of this in the 1990's [— edit: no, scratch that, 2000's —] with scripts that pasted together results from a few scrape calls. We also had keyword extraction, quote highlighting, and sentiment analysis then, but not integrated into our prototype, just in independent small projects. Nice to see that stuff and other sprinklings of ML stuff integrated here.
The site is a little over-designed for my taste (bubbly fonts, etc.) but maybe you like it, that's fine.
But jokes aside, there actually is an insane amount of technology that we built to make this possible. Thankfully we are standing on the shoulders of giants and NLP has developed a lot of the past few years.
For starters, we have to find the right person and successfully differentiate them vs others with their name. Next we extract their quotes vs what others said about them (from text + videos). We also built AI models to tag and organize the person’s Ideas by emotions and other helpful insights. Essentially it’s a knowledge graph that’s dynamically built mapping a person’s opinions and worldview.
It’s still early, but we are getting closer to a search experience that does the research for you. What’s a killer search feature you always wanted?
People search is not something I've ever pursued or imagined being super interested in. It just feels a little stalky. I guess there are innocent uses too though as your site lays out. You could also look into ways the technology could be used or recontextualized to be less stalky-adjacent.
For example, you could focus more strictly on just public figures. Or do movie stars with their best quotes on and off screen.
Or, maybe you feel that you have ways to address what I'm saying, or that your current path is fine. Or you embrace its stalky nature and want to take that even further. Whatever way, it's up to you; I'm just one internet voice.
Good luck!
Not friendly.
That being said, any of the tens of thousands of profiles that are already in the system can be seen right away with no signup. It's free to sign up and we are working hard to get the search time down to mere seconds, so a sign up won't be necessary.
Hope this helps!
After you submit a search, there is a "Search Submitted" with a Green Check mark/OK button that doesn't work. (It doesn't clear the dialog) on Windows 10/Chrome. (Even with Adblock plus turned off) Clicking elsewhere does work.
"James Earl Carter Jr." seems to have broken your site (the trailing period?)
Do you do much deep research on people today? How do you go about it today?
I like how fast it loads and the scroll animations are cool. Content is okay.
With one click you can see all the times someone mentions something nostalgic. We also pull out the questions they are asking, favorite books, what they’re curious or frustrated about, and more.
It’s a start, but I believe that search today only scratches the surface for the possible insights we can know. For instance, when I read an article about someone’s stance on Big Tech and privacy, it should be easy to see if they’ve ever changed their mind in that subject.
