Product & growth wisdom from 289+ real founder conversations, powered by MyClaw.ai
Search and query Lenny Rachitsky's Podcast and Newsletter archive for product, growth, GTM, pricing, AI product, and leadership insights. Zero external dependencies — pure Python stdlib, local TF-IDF index.
Setup (first time)
Run once to download data and build the index:
CODEBLOCK0
Takes ~15 seconds. Creates {baseDir}/data/ with search index + chunks.
If the index is missing, prompt the user to run setup first.
Answering Questions
Step 1 — Search
CODEBLOCK1
Options:
- -
--top N — return N chunks (default 5; use 8 for broad questions) - INLINECODE2 — filter to a specific guest
- INLINECODE3 — return full chunk text instead of 2000-char preview
- INLINECODE4 — custom data directory
Output: JSON array of chunks with guest, title, date, score, text.
Step 2 — Synthesize
Read the returned chunks. For each relevant passage:
- - Note the guest name and quote the key insight verbatim
- Synthesize across multiple guests when they cover the same topic
- Be honest when the archive doesn't have a good answer
Response Format
CODEBLOCK2
Always include at least one direct quote. Never fabricate quotes.
