If you have developer documentation and want to boost your community with AI this is for you! Just pull in the base url of the site add some customization and get a sharable link for your chat, link it anywhere you want. I saw this trend in some places like gcp with Gemini, or Langchain or Supabase ask ai, but they're all custom-implemented solutions, not everyone wants to advocate developer resources to create the rag, deploy it and maintain it, you just want devs to build with your stuff, the more they can do the better, the quicker the better, and if they get a smooth experience while…

I've built VT Chat, a privacy-first AI chat application that keeps all your conversations local while providing advanced research capabilities and access to 15+ AI models including Claude 4 Sonnet and Claude 4 Opus, O3, Gemini 2.5 Pro and DeepSeek R1. Live: https://vtchat.io.vn | Source: https://github.com/vinhnx/vtchat The core difference is true local-first architecture. All chats are stored in IndexedDB with zero server storage. Your API keys never leave your browser, and I can't see them even as the developer. You can switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, Google…

Hi everyone, nice to meet you and I am a newcomer of HN. I have made a binary tool Aih that could communicate with Bard, ChatGPT, Claude, and Llama(HuggingChat) from the terminal. https://github.com/Databingo/aih Since CAPTCHA challenges and bots detecting have become increasingly difficult, I've changed my strategy from hacking the APIs to simulating a real browser's action. The tool first takes the logged-in cookies of Google, ChatGPT, Claude, and HuggingChat accounts from the real Chrome browser, then it opens an invisible instance of Chromium for communication, then…

Hey HN, I wanted to share something I’ve been working on: *RAG-Guard*, a document AI that’s all about privacy. It’s an experiment in combining Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with AI-powered question answering, but with a twist — your data stays yours. Here’s the idea: you can upload contracts, research papers, personal notes, or any other documents, and RAG-Guard processes everything locally in your browser. Nothing leaves your device unless you explicitly approve it. ### How It Works - * Zero-Trust by Design*: Every step happens in your browser until you say otherwise. - * Local…

Hey HN! I got tired of AI agents being a pain to set up, impossible to customize without a PhD, and only viable if you're some Fortune 500 company. So I built something different, a chatbot you can literally drop onto your website with a single script tag. Create an account, add your domain, customize literally everything (theme, icon, welcome message, suggested responses, whatever), and you're done. The bot scrapes your site once a day to understand your business, or you can just upload docs-pricing sheets, policies, FAQs, you name it. That's your chatbot's brain right there. It only works…
