Show HN: `Mediator.ai` applies Nash bargaining with LLM preference comparisons

The interesting part is not legal-tech branding but using LLM pairwise judgments to approximate utility functions. That pattern could transfer to pricing, bundle design, and any multi-party tradeoff flow; worth studying, not proven yet.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Classic Nash bargaining needs an explicit utility function, which is usually the adoption blocker in real negotiations.
  2. The product sidesteps that by interviewing each side with an LLM and using comparisons instead of direct scoring.
  3. Estimated preferences become a fitness function for a genetic algorithm, turning negotiation into a search problem.
  4. The reusable idea is broader than mediation: any workflow with fuzzy preferences and many candidate bundles can copy this setup.
