Gandalf Interview
A guided reflection and direction system for friends who want the kind of honest questioning, pattern read, and practical next-step feedback that creates real movement.
10 qualified emailsThen saved-account MVPOwner review only with explicit beta consent
How it starts
Waitlist first, product second.
The first version should prove that ten real people want this before we add accounts, saved sessions, or a full interview app.
Qualify
The first ten good-fit people define the opening beta group.
Build
The MVP adds accounts, saved sessions, consent records, and a private report flow.
Internal advisor stack
The agents stay behind the scenes.
Friends should experience one clear advisor, not a confusing panel of bots. The system can still use specialist roles under the surface to ask better questions, challenge weak frames, and turn the result into action.
Gandalf reads for meaning, distortion, values, and direction.
Operator turns the read into next actions and a realistic week-one plan.
Risk/QA keeps the system away from therapy, diagnosis, crisis, medical, legal, and financial advice.
Research/Intel only joins when a source-backed claim needs verification.
Operating cost
Cheap enough to validate with friends.
The waitlist should cost almost nothing. The saved-account MVP should stay in the $45-$100/month base range before meaningful AI usage.
Google Form and Google Sheet, using the existing site for the public page.
Clerk for saved user accounts when the 10-person threshold is reached.
Supabase for interview sessions, answers, consent records, reports, deletion, and export status.
Short guided interview plus report, with stronger models reserved for final synthesis.
Waitlist fields
Join the first ten-person test group.
The form asks for enough context to know who is a strong first tester without turning the waitlist into the whole interview.

Google Form
Use the form as the source of truth.
The waitlist opens in Google Forms so signups stay separate from the future MVP until the first ten qualified people are in.
