🎭 Party Mode - Multi-Legend Discussions

Ask complex questions and get perspectives from multiple legends:

You: "How should I approach raising my seed round?"

Claude: *Activates Party Mode with Paul Graham, Marc Andreessen, and Bill Gurley*

Paul Graham: "The best fundraising advice is: make something people want first.
Don't optimize for raising money. Optimize for building something users love..."

Marc Andreessen: "Software is eating the world, and VCs know it. Show us
the market size. Show us why NOW is the time..."

Bill Gurley: "Valuation is a vanity metric. What matters is finding partners
who truly understand your business..."

When Party Mode Activates

• Complex questions with multiple valid perspectives
• "Pros and cons" or "different viewpoints" requests
• Debates between different schools of thought
• Questions matching 2+ legends' expertise
