Ask HN: AI Chat Agent vs. Traditional Personal Website?

I just put together this quick AI agent that answers questions about me and my work: https://jairathore.com

Is it better / more useful than a classic one-pager? If yes, what top 2–3 tasks should a personal agent handle for visitors? All feedback welcome.

I asked it for everything it knows and it spat out your resume - isn't it better UI (not to speak of simpler/cheaper/faster implementation) to just link to your resume instead?

For the POC I just gave it a markdown of my resume, but idea is to give it a lot more data about me and then let it serve everything. And also handle tasks dynamically like schedule meetings, etc

Interesting idea, but when looking for candidates, I don't have time for that.

thanks for the feedback, for recruiters : what if there is an option where someone could post url of the job description and my agent would tell whether I have the required skills and also importantly whether I would be interested in talking about that opportunity?

This can work for designers, but then the website itself needs to be on point. Random recent one I've liked https://www.stefan.to/

Good Point , I like the website you shared too, may be I too should load more content upfront
