Hi HN! I’m Omar from Mutable.ai. We want to introduce Auto Wiki (https://wiki.mutable.ai/), which lets you generate a Wiki-style website to document your codebase. Citations link to code, with clickable references to each line of code being discussed. Here are some examples of popular projects: React: https://wiki.mutable.ai/facebook/react Ollama https://wiki.mutable.ai/jmorganca/ollama D3: https://wiki.mutable.ai/d3/d3 Terraform: https://wiki.mutable.ai/hashicorp/terraform Bitcoin:…

The official Slack AI product looks great, but with limited access and add-on pricing, I decided to open-source the version I built. Especially for all the communities on Slack that would have to convert to paid and buy the upgrade to access the official SlackAI product/add-on which is not going to be financially viable in most cases. There's no plan to sell anything, just something I built as a way to learn some new tools that I thought others might get use out of. The repo is a ready-to-run slack app that provides thread summaries and channel overviews on demand using OpenAI (heavy…

GitPodcast▲308Understanding any GitHub repository is tough, especially a big one - this project aims to make it a tad bit easier by giving the listener a primer + some details on the specific repository. For some people (like me) - audio/visual medium is more easily understandable. So, I hope this project is helpful to some of them. This project was inspired by https://gitdiagram.com - so check it out as well, and maybe use them together for better understanding. Future plans: 1. To add more voices and let users choose most natural one (decide between OpenAI/Microsoft Speech) 2. Custom…

Hey HN! A few months ago we shared our AI dataset generator as an open source repo, and the response was incredible (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44388093). We got requests from folks who wanted to use it without the hosting overhead, so we created both options: a hosted version (https://www.metabase.com/ai-data-generator for instant use and the source code fully open (https://github.com/metabase/dataset-generator) for anyone who wants to self-host or contribute. Looking forward to seeing how you use it and what you build on top of…

Simon(sfarshid) and I spend a lot of time on GitHub. As data nerds we put together a quick tool to explore your repository’s data. How it works: - Data Loading: We use dlt to pull data (issues, PRs, commits, stars) from GitHub - Semantic Layer: Relta wraps the underlying dataset into a semantic layer so the LLM doesn’t hallucinate. - Text-to-SQL: A text-to-SQL agent transforms your plain-English question into a query using the semantic layer - Generative Charts: assistant-ui dynamically generates a chart based on the SQL query - Refinements: If the semantic layer can’t handle your question,…

Hey HN, I built RepoGPT, an open-source AI tool that lets you interact with your GitHub repos using natural language. Ask it things like: How is auth implemented? List API endpoints. What are the key dependencies? RepoGPT aims to make navigating large codebases easier with AI. Check it out: https://github.com/mbarinov/repogpt You'll need Node.js, pnpm, Docker (PostgreSQL), and an OpenAI API key. Full setup in the README. Feedback and contributions are welcome! Also, I'm looking for remote roles in EU time zones. Thanks!

Hi HN - I’m excited to share a fun side project we built recently CodebaseChat.com is a tool for building a GPT chatbot for any GitHub repo in 30 seconds It can be helpful when onboarding to new codebases, when needing help understanding system design, asking for less technical explanations of functionality We’ve been heads down building Context.ai, the analytics platform for LLM products. When OpenAI released GPTs earlier this month, we built one to answer questions about our growing codebase. It worked so well that we decided to open source the utility for other dev teams How it works: -…

Last week I benchmarked my open-source Deep Research tool against ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. I caught OpenAI fabricating 4-5 citations that don't exist. Gemini reduced real hazard ratios by 30-40%. So I built ASK Mode: every answer gets automatically verified against a second round of sources. Each claim marked [OK], [??], or [NO]. - ~400 verified answers for $1 - 2-3 minutes per query - No RLHF nannying - it answers what you ask - Full verification report with every response The gap between chat (unverified, stale training data) and deep research (20+ minutes) needed filling.…

Hi, I'm working on a project that regroups all best AI (AIaaS) from different providers (GCP, AWS, Azure, DeepL, etc.) in one API (https://github.com/edenai/edenai-apis). I've got asked the question : why aren't you regrouping Open Source models (instead of proprietary APIs) into one repo? Well because it doesn't make sens to deploy and maintain large pytorch (or other framework) AI models (especially for document parsing, image and video moderation or speech recognition) in every solution that wants AI capabilities. So using APIs makes way more sens. Deployed OpenSource…

It transforms raw Grokipedia pages into a structured, navigable wiki experience with AI chat, mindmaps, and intelligent citations, while maintaining near-instant load times through aggressive caching (it currently only supports the ~800,000 articles that Grokipedia has indexed).

Hey HN Community, I recently found myself knee-deep in a fascinating challenge that I think you'll find intriguing. I'm a backend developer with a penchant for Node.js and SQL, and I've been wrestling with a problem that's both technically intricate and surprisingly common in the world of open-source development. The issue at hand? Duplicate GitHub issues. They're like weeds in a garden – you turn your back for a second, and suddenly they're everywhere, choking out the valuable discussions and dragging down productivity. So, I set out to build a bot. Not just any bot, mind you, but a Probot…
