    I built this tool because I wanted a way to just take a bunch of URLs or domains, and query their content in RAG applications. It takes away the pain of crawling, extracting content, chunking, vectorizing, and updating periodically. I'm curious to see if it can be useful to others. I meant to launch this six months ago but life got in the way...

    Hey HN - long-time reader, first-time poster, My friends and I built Vany, a tool that responds to any LLM query with a TikTok – essentially a short narrated video answer to your prompt. We built it because we often prefer watching a short video over reading a block of text or long article. There are many impressive AI video tools out there that generate visually striking content for creators, but we wanted something that gives helpful videos back to the queries we put into LLMs or search engines every day. Vany lets anyone quickly get an engaging and useful video back to any question –…

    I built a personal LLM assistant on Cloudflare Workers + Durable Objects. You specify a category and topic when starting a new conversation, so the backend maintains a summary for each category/topic - building up as more conversations happen under the same one. There is no complicated RAG, embeddings, or agentic magic, but the category/topic summaries system just works, and I've genuinely found it super handy and have been using it daily for my life and work. I started it to get familiar with Durable Objects and to test out this idea draft I had buried on my board. After recently…

    Hi I am Jan, CTO @ Pathway. A use case we have been working on with LLMs is to let people know when an answer to their query changes due to revisions of source documents. Obviously, we want to avoid periodically re-computing all queries for the LLM. Why I think it’s cool? - We don’t spin in a loop to repeat with the LLM. - Alerts are LLM-deduplicated - no spamming users with typo fixes - And the best - our framework, Pathway takes care of handling the updates, the example looks nearly like a regular, static RAG chatbot. More context + GIF of how it works for Google Drive document alerts:…

    Knit was created to solve pains of other LLM playgrounds. Some of the highlights: - Smart prompt builder, create prompt with simple requirement and few shot learning, fast and effortlessly. - Function call simulation, visualize the function callings and you can also setup a mocked value to return. - Support OpenAI/Anthropic/Azure models. - Manage prompts with projects and members. - And so much more! I have been developing Knit by myself for over 4 months now, and am looking for ways to improve it. Any feedback is appreciated.

    Hey HN! If you’re at all interested in LLMs/LLM-apps, you’ve probably heard of RAG: Retrieval-Assisted Generation, i.e. retrieving relevant documents to give to your LLM as context to answer user queries. Today, I’m releasing RAGatouille v0.0.1, whose aim is to make it as easy as can be to improve your RAG pipelines by leveraging state-of-the-art Information Retrieval research. As of right now, there’s quite a big gap between common everyday practice and the IR literature, and a lot of the gap is because there just aren’t good ways to quickly try out and leverage SotA IR techniques.…
