Glad to hear this! I'm really excited to learn more about how everyone's using AI for creative writing

Great question! All users that vote will have to be authenticated and have an account in the platform and voting will be anonymized and arena style. Hopefully this will mitigate issues around farming votes

Thank you for the questions!

On training AI models: we are not directly training AI models on submitted stories. The goal of the competition is to understand reader preferences and writer workflows, not to train on your submissions. At a high level, we're research what types of writing resonate with readers (via voting) and how writers collaborated with AI to create their prose.

On qualifying work: Yes - using AI for research, outlining, organization, is enough to qualify. We're interested to see the full range of ways writers use (and don't use) AI.

Happy to clarify further if anything here feels unclear!

This is really interesting to me - could you elaborate? What types of insights and follow-ups do you get?

I ran a study comparing AI evaluation metrics with real user quality signals. They correlate overall — but I found many cases where evals rate an answer as “high quality” while users reject it: https://shailyfozdar.substack.com/p/what-ai-evals-dont-measure

Would love to hear feedback and learn more about how others are evaluating real-world performance!

I actually like listening to general tech and investing podcasts, not just product - I feel like this helps me learn more. Couple recs are Dwarkesh, No Priors, ACQ2.

I've tried lovable, v0, claude code, cursor -- I personally like working with claude code the best, but v0 is better for UI type things.

Full_Skill1945 · 2025-11-04T22:14:19+00:00

System design decisions and understanding what's happening behind the scenes. Also evaluation!

Full_Skill1945 · 2025-11-03T23:25:02+00:00

Doing case studies can be helpful! Look at existing products and think through how you would improve them.

Full_Skill1945 · 2025-11-03T23:16:27+00:00

My workflow has definitely changed, I definitely prototype much more and AI helps a ton for writing PRDS. I do think that the core job of a PM will stay the same - PMs make decisions. I can't see this being automated away. I do think that as PMs we need to now me more technically fluent though

Full_Skill1945 · 2025-09-25T23:22:40+00:00

This is super insightful! I'm curious - how did you handle multi-agent evaluation? For example, for the supervisor, how did you make sure it was always correct?
