Hi all, Dapr maintainer here. We've added a new example that shows how you can build a conversational agent that can upload, parse and understand complex documents, while retaining long-term memory. The example also shows how the agent can upload the file to multiple storage providers. Would be great to get your feedback.

    Parsewise▲169

    Hi HN! We're X25 alumni and built Parsewise to analyze large document sets with AI agents. Instead of prompting a single PDF, our agents extract, cross-reference, and reason across thousands of documents in one run. We originally built this for insurance and financial diligence workflows where teams review huge document packs. Curious what the HN community thinks!

    Hi HN, I built an open-source AI agent that has already indexed and can search the entire Epstein files, roughly 100M words of publicly released documents. The goal was simple: make a large, messy corpus of PDFs and text files immediately searchable in a precise way, without relying on keyword search or bloated prompts. What it does: - The full dataset is already indexed - You can ask natural language questions - Answers are grounded and include direct references to source documents - Supports both exact text lookup and semantic search Discussion around these files is often fragmented. This…

    Rank a list of documents according to their relevance to a query primarily and your custom instructions secondarily. We evaluated the model on instructions for recency, document type, source, and metadata, and it can generalize to other instructions as well. The reranker supports multilinguality. Th

    After months of hard work, I'm thrilled to announce the launch of Chat Channels and Direct Messages on The Drive AI. Why Chat Channels? During my master’s program, managing extensive research, project discussions, and documents across platforms like Google Drive, Zotero, and Slack was a real challenge. Finding past discussions on Slack became harder as projects progressed, leading to inefficiencies and repeated questions. Imagine a platform where every research paper, project file, or document seamlessly integrates with persistent chat channels—a system that combines the best of document…

    I've always wanted to just upload a whole book to ChatGPT and ask questions. Obviously with the char limit that's impossible... So some buddies and I built Ghost. We have it limited to 5 pages for uploads for now, but plan on expanding the limit soon. Let me know what you guys think!
