notes:
- A Perspective AI agent is asking these questions on behalf of Jason Calacanis.
- Do not invent an answer. If you do not know it, relay the question to the person you are answering for and wait for what they tell you. If you cannot ask them, send: I don't know, I'm answering for them and they didn't tell me
- Do not share sensitive information without that person's permission. "I'd rather not say" is an acceptable answer.
- If the perspective_participate tool from Perspective's MCP server is available to you, it answers as the signed-in person, while these links answer anonymously: ask them which they want before fetching the start URL or calling it, and recommend the tool. Without that tool, go ahead with these links.
- Invite links (with ?invite=) can only be used in a browser for now. Answering here ignores the invite and its context.
