Products that do what Embra – A fast, Chat-GPT like assistant for your Mac. App integrated does

Hey HN! We're building Embra, an always-one-second away GPT assistant that integrates into your OS, apps, and workflows. Everyone is talking about the "context problem" as it relates to GPT, in that the answers you get out are only as good as the information you put in. And, well, a lot of users don't want to type in a bunch of text. With Embra, you can pick and choose which context to feed the AI within the interface itself. And that context can be anywhere on your computer -- text in a PDF document, any tabs within Chrome, etc. One of the primary use cases is improved coding, debugging,…

    Hi Hacker News! My name is Bea, I built a site called Libraria that uses GPT to do a few things 1. Let you spin up multiple assistants based on your own documents. You can make it public, private, or protected. It has its own subdomain and landing page. 2. Respond in full markdown always, so it can output images, links, code, and more 3. Let you upload articles on the fly within the Chat, so you can ask it questions 4. Make it embeddable in your site with one line of code 5. Let you update it for fun / with your branding 5. Enable syncing for any URLs you let us scrape, so that you can…

    Hi Hackers, Excited to share a macOS app I've been working on: https://recurse.chat/ for chatting with local AI. While it's amazing that you can run AI models locally quite easily these days (through llama.cpp / llamafile / ollama / llm CLI etc.), I missed feature complete chat interfaces. Tools like LMStudio are super powerful, but there's a learning curve to it. I'd like to hit a middleground of simplicity and customizability for advanced users. Here's what separates RecurseChat out from similar apps: - UX designed for you to use local AI as a daily driver.…

    Hi HN, I built this out of frustration of the evergrowing list of AI models and features to try and to fit my workflow. The visual approach clicks for me so i went with it, it provides more freedom and control of the outcome, because predictable results and increased productivity is what I’m after when using conversational AI. The app is packed with features, my most used are prompt library, voice input and text search, narration is useful too. The app is local-first and works right in the browser, no sign up needed and it's absolutely free to try. BYOAK – bring your own API Keys. Let me…

    Hello HN, I must admit, I might be fashionably late to the GPT party, but it was back in early February when I first delved into the world of ChatGPT. To say I was instantly captivated by its capabilities would be an understatement. You see, prior to my ChatGPT encounter, I often found myself laboring for days on various technical challenges, such as wrestling with cross-platform libraries and tracking down elusive memory leaks, among other things. Then, around March of this year, I began my quest for solutions that could alleviate my development burdens, sparing me from having to create…

    Hey everyone, We have been building SecureAI Tools -- an open-source application layer for ChatGPT and ChatPDF-like AI tools. It works with locally running LLMs as well as with OpenAI-compatible APIs. For local LLMs, it supports Ollama which supports all the gguf/ggml models. Currently, it has two features: Chat-with-LLM, and Chat-with-PDFs. It is optimized for self-hosting use cases and comes with basic user management features. Here are some quick demos: * Chat with documents using OpenAI's GPT3.5 model: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Br2D3G9O47s * Chat with documents…
