AI PROTOTYPE – TRY IT OUT!

2025.03.25.

The other day, I had the idea to train an AI using the materials from my mentoring conversations. So I asked her – the Artificial Intelligence – how I could do that. I chose a method that allowed for a quick test to see if this even makes sense, and I created a custom ChatGPT-based mentoring AI system.

If you're curious, give it a try and see if there's anything unique about it. Every bit of feedback and critique helps 🙂

— WHO IS IT FOR? —
My plan is for Vendler AI to become a self-awareness and decision-support companion, specifically for leaders of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and for those either preparing to start a business or actively building one.

— WHAT IS IT FOR? —
The goal isn’t for the AI to give you ready-made answers. Instead, it aims to help uncover the patterns, connections, and internal conflicts behind your personal and business dilemmas through deep, sensitive questioning.

Ideally, it works like a calm mirror: it reflects back, offers insight, and at times even responds in a more provocative or emotionally resonant way when the conversation reaches deeper levels.

— WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT? —
This AI was built with specific rules and logic that distinguish it from general ChatGPT, focusing especially on:

  • Distinguishing between goals and desires
  • Personal conflicts behind business roadblocks
  • Recognizing goals used for self-justification
  • The dilemma of safety vs. freedom
  • The link between belief and mental imagery
  • Is the decision born out of desire or fear?
  • Stress as a behavioral pattern and identity marker
  • The hidden fears behind young entrepreneurs' uncertainties
  • The tentative early stages of entrepreneurship (confidence, recognition, feedback)

With the help of a built-in question structure, it can gently guide entrepreneurs to reflect on where they are with their business — and with themselves. It doesn’t follow a linear script, but rather responds intuitively, step-by-step. When it detects a block, it can return to the axis of desire–goal–fear–values–uncertainty–planning for deeper exploration.

— WHAT’S BEHIND IT? —
To train the system, I used anonymized personal interviews, self-awareness dialogues, feedback from mentees, and my own recorded conversations with professionals. It’s based on about 300 pages of original writing, 15 hours of interview content, and a thematic questionnaire with around 300 questions.

Each week, I aim to upload another 8–10 hours of content to continue refining the system.

The purpose of the uploaded documents isn’t to replicate their content word-for-word, but to provide the subtle emotional layers, recurring questions, and hidden patterns that form the backdrop of these conversations.

— TECH INFO —

  • You’ll find the AI link in the comments
  • A free ChatGPT registration is currently required
  • The system is tuned specifically for exploring business-related dilemmas and blocks
  • It was trained on Hungarian-language materials, which is where it can most precisely reflect emotional nuances — but it works in any language supported by ChatGPT
