Hi HN friends! We can hardly believe it’s been almost four years since our original HN launch (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25917403). What started as a small project has grown way beyond what we imagined, with over 170,000 deployments and 7,000 companies using Airbyte daily. When we started Airbyte, our mission was simple (though not easy): to solve data movement once and for all. Today feels like a big step toward that goal with the release of Airbyte 1.0 (https://airbyte.com/v1). Reaching this milestone wasn’t a solo effort. It’s taken an incredible…

I’m Michel, co-founder and CEO of Airbyte (https://airbyte.com/). We’ve spent the last six years building data connectors. Today we're launching Airbyte Agents (https://docs.airbyte.com/ai-agents/), a unified data layer for agents to discover information and take action across operational systems. Here’s a quick walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZosDytyf1fg As agents move into real workflows, they need access to more tools (e.g. Slack, Salesforce, Linear). That means a ton of API plumbing: authentication, pagination, filters,…

Hi HN, A few of our team members at Airbyte (and Joe, who killed it!) recently played with building our own internal support chat bot, using Airbyte, Langchain, Pinecone and OpenAI, that would answer any questions we ask when developing a new connector on Airbyte. As we prototyped it, we realized that it could be applied for many other use cases and sources of data, so... we created a tutorial that other community members can leverage [http://airbyte.com/tutorials/chat-with-your-data-using-opena...] and the Github repo to run it…

Hey HN, we're Lennert and Rauf. We’re building Airweave (https://github.com/airweave-ai/airweave), an open-source tool that lets agents search and retrieve data from any app or database. Here’s a general intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFI-7SYGQ48, and here’s a longer one that shows more real-world use cases, examples of how Airweave is used by Cursor (0:33) and Claude desktop (2:04), etc.: https://youtu.be/p2dl-39HwQo A couple of months ago we were building agents that interacted with different apps and were frustrated when they…

Hey, This is Venkat and Esther here. We did a Show HN for AirSend 6 months ago - thank you again for your support! Since then the product has come a long way. We’ve added many major functionalities based on feedback and wanted to share those with you today. As a reminder, AirSend (www.airsend.io) lets you instantly collaborate. Send messages, have voice/video calls, share and organize files, manage tasks, and keep notes all in one place. AirSend could potentially replace Slack, Dropbox, and Trello for small teams. It’s our moonshot attempt to redefine how teams communicate and…

Hey HN! Today we’re launching Fabi 2.0 For the past year we’ve been working with a number of product, eng, marketing and data teams, and the common issue we’ve been seeing with all these teams, especially small and growing teams, is that getting basic answers from their data requires jumping between a bunch of different tools/copy-pasting data and spreadsheets, or building out a full BI stack. With our latest release, users can not only connect Fabi to databases and data warehouses, but also to applications like HubSpot, Stripe, Shopify etc. We offer hundreds of connectors, and the AI…

hey y'all -- can you please tell us if our job search tool sucks? :D we built it using an investor platform called Harmonic.ai to gather startup data, then contextualize it so that job seekers could find out about the most exciting startups hiring first (like if they just raised, growing headcount fast, have an ex-unicorn founder, etc). pretty sure we're the first platform doing anything like this. anyway, let me know what you think. really excited to launch this thing soon! getting feedback from the hn community first is really fun :)

Hi HN, I’m Sean, the founder of Ascend.io (https://www.ascend.io). I’m really excited to post here and announce the launch of Ascend.io, a radical new way of designing, scaling, and automating data pipelines. Ascend is the result of nearly 4 years of development effort for a team that is now 30-strong, and I would love for you to give it a test drive and let me what you think. I’ve felt this pain since I wrote my first MapReduce in 2004 (using Sawzall @ Google), and in the 15 years since, things have not improved at the pace of other parts of the technology ecosystem. When I went…
