Devil's advocate on demand: stress-test your ideas

Sometimes I need someone to poke holes in my plan. This does exactly that.

Paste it into your assistant chat. Your assistant will ask what you need and set it up for you.

The problem

People around you default to encouragement, and self-critique is unreliable. Getting honest, structured feedback on an idea requires either expensive consultants or waiting for the market to punish mistakes.

What you do

Tyler requests a switch to stricter critique mode when he needs his ideas challenged.

What your assistant returns

Recalibrates responses toward trade-offs, weaknesses, hidden assumptions, and better alternatives. Drops the agreeableness and delivers blunt analysis.
