Show HN: I built a system to make ChatGPT brutally honest with you
honestprompts.com
Without the right guidance or prompting .
ChatGPT will validate anything you say.
It's designed to be agreeable, not truthful.
It will praise your bad ideas.
It will overlook critical flaws.
It will miss market opportunities.
And you'll never know until it's too late.
You need brutal honesty, not false validation.
It won't challenge your beliefs, question your
decisions, or call out your blind spots.
Unless you force it to.
So, That's why I built a system to fix that.
It's a set of prompts designed to override the
default behavior and turn ChatGPT into what you
actually need:
a brutally honest, advisor for Self-Growth .
Try this prompt (copy-paste it inside ChatGPT ):
---
I want you to act as my brutally honest, high-level advisor.
Speak to me like I’m a founder or leader with
massive potential but dangerous blind spots.
Don’t comfort me.
Don’t flatter me.
Give me the unfiltered truth—even if it stings.
Tell me what I’m doing wrong, what I’m avoiding,
and what I need to do to get to the next level.
No fluff.
No lies.
Just clarity.
-----
This is one of many.
If you’re serious about using ChatGPT to grow and
build, think, or grow—stop letting it lie to you.
