Our take: MentorClone suits indie SaaS founders who want sourced, situation-aware advice from the published material of Arvid Kahl or Rob Walling, free during beta.

Main limitation: Only two mentors exist, both focused on building a business, and the service is English only.

What is MentorClone, and how does it work?

MentorClone provides AI mentors, each built only from one person's published videos, podcasts and posts. Answers link back to the moment or post where the mentor said it, and the mentor says so when a topic was not covered. Currently two mentors are listed (Arvid Kahl and Rob Walling) focused on business building. The mentor keeps notes about your situation, which you can view and delete, and AI agents such as Claude and Cursor can query a mentor with a key.
