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:

bash {baseDir}/scripts/setup.sh

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

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/search.py "<query>" --top 5

Options:

--top N — return N chunks (default 5; use 8 for broad questions)
--guest "Name" — filter to a specific guest
--full — return full chunk text instead of 2000-char preview
--data — 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
