Products that do what A tool to search smarter and learn better does

Hello HN! I recently launched [name redacted] - a tool to simplify learning and research with a visual breakdown of any topic (and much more). Think of it as ChatGPT (AI) + Structure + Google (Web sources) When learning/searching for something, web searches can be time-consuming. AI chat tools lack structure and visual elements. [name redacted] provides an interactive breakdown of your searches, allowing you to explore the "breadth" of the topic & dive deep into the specifics. How it works: - Enter a topic - Get a visual breakdown of your search - Dive deep into specifics to expand the…

    We’ve trained a generative AI model to browse the web and answer questions/retrieve code snippets directly. Unlike ChatGPT, it has access to primary sources and is able to cite them when you hover over an answer (click on the text to go to the source being cited). We also show regular Bing results side-by-side with our AI answer. The model is an 11-billion parameter T5-derivative that has been fine-tuned on feedback given on hundreds of thousands of searches done (anonymously) on our platform. Giving the model web access lessens its burden to need to store a snapshot of human knowledge…

    I was inspired by the way ChatGPT writes bullet lists, then invites you to "delve" deeper. This is an interface that reifies that rabbit-holing process into a tiling layout. The model is instructed to output hyperlink-prompts when it mentions something you might want to delve into. Lots of features to add (sessions, sharing, navigation, highlight-to-delve, images, ...). Would love to hear other usecases and ideas!

    We (Nick, Dens, Denzell, Fede, Drew, Aaryan, and Daniel) have been building HN Discovery, a discovery-focused search engine for Hacker News, in our spare time for the past 6 months and are excited to show it! It adds the following features relative to the existing keyword search interface and preserves the existing ones: - no-JS version (hnnojs.trieve.ai) - site:{required_site} and site:{negated-site} filters - public analytics - LLM generated query suggestions based on random stories - recommendations - dense vector semantic search - SPLADE fulltext search - RAG AI chat - order by…

    I built this tool to help me find interesting discussions on Hacker News. I love reading HN discussions almost more than the articles themselves. However, I found that full text search, although highly performant, is not always good at surfacing interesting discussions on a certain topic -- especially if you don't know what to search for exactly. I built this by scraping the most recent ~6 million posts (that's about 2 years of history) and putting the resulting posts and their vector embeddings into Postgres. Let me know what could be improved, and if you'd like a more detailed writeup of…

    We built a search engine interface on top of OpenAI GPT 3.5 and Microsoft Bing that summarizes and cites top search results in response to natural language questions. By using search results, the AI is able to reference recent news and provide citations for specific facts. Our interface offers concise answers, without having to click through links, scroll past irrelevant content, or read ads. No login is required; no personal data is collected. We believe in the power of combining the intuitive UI of web search with the intelligence of large language models. The search engine does indexing…

    Hey HN, If you're like me you probably have hundreds of ChatGPT chats for each idea or project you have. And each one keeps it's unique context and details that are lost in the long list of chats in the sidebar. Since there is no way to search old chats in ChatGPT Web UI, I built this feature myself as a browser extension. In February, I released it and tried to apply freemium model and see how it works. I was ecstatic when I had a first sale in less than a week! That was first time anyone bought my product ever. Since then I got into top3 in Chrome Web Store for "search chatgpt history" and…
