Hello Hacker News! We're a team of YC founders (Meldium W13, Draft S11, TapEngage S11) launching something new (https://www.getcensus.com).

We’ve built a product that connects directly to your data warehouse and syncs into apps like Salesforce, Customer.io and even Google Sheets. In fact, your business teams won’t even need to rely on engineering to manage all these pipelines. The tech stack for…

Hi there, Burak here. I built an open-source data copy tool called ingestr (https://github.com/bruin-data/ingestr) I did build quite a few data warehouses both for the companies I worked at, as well as for consultancy projects. One of the more common pain points I observed was that everyone had to rebuild the same data ingestion bit over and over again, and each in different ways: - some wrote code for the ingestion from scratch to various degrees - some used off-the-shelf data ingestion tools like Fivetran / Airbyte I have always disliked both of these approaches,…

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! We're excited to announce the launch of Tonic Textual, the secure data lakehouse for LLMs. Simply stated, Tonic Textual allows you to build generative AI systems on your own unstructured data without having to spend time extracting and standardizing your data. In minutes you can build automated, scalable unstructured data pipelines that extract, centralize, standardize, and enrich data from your documents into an AI-optimized format ready for embedding, fine-tuning, and ingesting into a vector database. While in-flight, we also scan for sensitive information and protect it via…

Datatune ▲38Modern AI tools use SQL/Code generation agents or RAG to access the user data to perform transformations. However, the drawback is that this doesn't provide row-level intelligence, especially in case of semantic intelligence is required to understand how to perform the transfromations on each row of the data. We've released Datatune (https://github.com/vitalops/datatune) as a tool to let users connect entire user Data with LLMs and Agents, to help users access their entire data with just a prompt. While building Agents for a customer who had large amounts of data, we…

folio▲74hi HN! a couple of months ago I had to analyze a few thousand audio recordings to help identify issues with customer support. i was able to get some raw high-level initial results with python scripts invoking LLM APIs, but they were too general and unhelpful. writing basic prompts is easy, but tuning them and making them specific enough to ensure no faint signal is missed is hard. you need to iterate through the data with an initial prompt, segment the data into different buckets, chain another prompt for each bucket etc. Then you need to constantly review the raw data to tweak the prompts…
