Original Summary

My brother built a website that honestly knocked my socks off, and it all started with something pretty ordinary: he was looking into moving to Mexico. He did a ton of research--financial, tax, and visa considerations, where to actually live, the nuts and bolts of dealing with Mexican healthcare, all of it--and kept noticing the same pattern: "best places to live" listicles are all generic, built for an average person who doesn't exist. He kept wondering how come nobody had already figured this out. He ended up writing a couple of books about moving to Mexico, laying out everything he'd learned. It got him thinking: this is helpful if you already know you want to move to Mexico, but what if you want to move but don't know where? He started preparing reports with tailored relocation advice for clients looking to move abroad. He thought it would be a heck of a lot easier if he could automate it. So he started building. Mind you, I've never seen him code anything in his life. But he just started experimenting with AI tools on weekends to see how far he could get. That turned into more weekends and late nights of trial and error slowly turning what he'd learned writing those books and counseling others into something people could actually use. The side project became his passion project, which became FlagSeek.com : a website that gives people international relocation advice tailored to their unique circumstances, providing advice on which countries actually fit, why, and what to watch out for before making an expensive mistake. The site also helps people zero in on a destination and make the move. It's as good for people planning retirement as it is for digital nomads, families looking to make their income go further, or LBTQ+ professionals looking for a change of pace. The obvious next question was what about people who just want to move to a different state instead of leaving the country? So StateMatcher.com followed, same idea, just domestic. I'll admit, my first reaction was "can't I just ask ChatGPT the same thing?" His answer was: sort of, but not really. The problem isn't that chatbots are clueless, it's that most people don't actually know what really matters when contemplating such a big move. A one-off prompt gives you whatever comes to mind in the moment, not a comprehensive framework applied consistently. LLM's also answer just as confidently whether they're right or just confabulating. The tools he built pull from carefully curated, official datasets that aren't usually part of LLM training. You don't have to already know what to ask, and your situation gets evaluated using the same rigorous algorithm every time. Having tried it myself, I can say definitively that you won't get the same wealth of advice even with a carefully written prompt, not by a long shot. You can gauge for yourself by looking at some sample reports . Anyway, he asked me to help sprea
