Hack #1: Firecrawl · Firecrawl

Afterlife lets you have a real voice conversation with any startup that ever failed, reconstructed from its own history, speaking in first person. Type a name. Firecrawl searches four to five live sources per research phase - Wikipedia, TechCrunch, ProductHunt, founder post-mortems streaming results in real time. That research builds a detailed AI persona. ElevenLabs Conversational AI gives it a voice and keeps the conversation going, with a live search_web tool mid-conversation so the agent can answer questions it wasn't briefed on. It never breaks character. When the conversation ends, GPT-4o-mini generates an epitaph the startup's tombstone inscription. Every failed startup left a story nobody told cleanly. Afterlife doesn't summarize that story. It becomes it. You're not reading a post-mortem. You're in one.
