Figr AI▲503Built Figr AI because I got tired of AI builder tools market themselves as design tools and end up skipping the hard part. Every tool I tried would jump straight to screens. But that's not how product design actually works. You don't just design screens. You think through the problem first. The flows, the edge cases, the user journey, where people will get stuck. Then the design comes finally. Figr does that thinking layer first. It parses your existing product via a chrome extension or takes in screen-records, then works through the problem with you before designing. Surfaces edge cases,…

Hello HN, I'm Owen from SciPhi (https://www.sciphi.ai/), a startup working on simplifying˛Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Today we’re excited to share R2R (https://github.com/SciPhi-AI/R2R), an open-source framework that makes it simpler to develop and deploy production-grade RAG systems. Just a quick reminder: RAG helps Large Language Models (LLMs) use current information and specific knowledge. For example, it allows a programming assistant to use your latest documents to answer questions. The idea is to gather all the relevant information…

Hi HN! We're building R2R [https://github.com/SciPhi-AI/R2R], an open source RAG answer engine that is built on top of Postgres+Neo4j. The best way to get started is with the docs - https://r2r-docs.sciphi.ai/introduction. This is a major update from our V1 which we have spent the last 3 months intensely building after getting a ton of great feedback from our first Show HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39510874). We changed our focus to building a RAG engine instead of a framework, because this is what developers asked for the most.…

Understanding scientific articles can be tough, even in your own field. Trying to comprehend articles from others? Good luck. Enter, Now I Get It! I made this app for curious people. Simply upload an article and after a few minutes you'll have an interactive web page showcasing the highlights. Generated pages are stored in the cloud and can be viewed from a gallery. Now I Get It! uses the best LLMs out there, which means the app will improve as AI improves. Free for now - it's capped at 20 articles per day so I don't burn cash. A few things I (and maybe you will) find interesting: * This is…

Mimir▲7What would reading look like if it were designed around how people actually learn? I got tired of all the AI study tools that actually just take the cognitive work of studying or reading away from you, instead of building up your own brain. Reading today is also just not the best experience as you forget so much of what you read. I built Mimir, (readmimir.com), an interactive immersive reader that let's you upload any book/text, read in immersive reading with TTS, active recall, in-margin notes, ask-ai tutor, and automatically creates spaced repetition notes from your notes and answers.…

I'm a PM who got tired of the same cycle: do a bunch of customer interviews, dump them in a doc, tell myself I'll synthesize them later, never do. So I built Mimir as a fun side project for myself and my day job. You paste in your raw feedback — interviews, support tickets, survey responses, whatever... and it pulls out themes, ranks them, and tells you what to build next. Every recommendation links back to the actual quotes so you're not just trusting a black box. There's a real pipeline underneath that does extraction, clustering, synthesis across sources. You can chat with your data, push…

Over the last two years, we’ve seen just how quickly science can move when it’s conducted out in the open, and the focus is on content rather than the publishing process. We’ve built a new way for researchers and scientists to communicate and share their findings with the world - rethought from first principles, with a lot more coming soon. Free to use, and available now for anyone with a university email address. We’re whitelisting organizations that conduct and publish research on a rolling basis. Please forward feedback and thoughts to [email protected] or comment here!

We can now build drastically higher quality search because we can use LLMs in algorithms that mimic a human's systematic research process, instead of just roughly recommending results based on semantic embeddings or term frequency. We built a deep search LLM pipeline that takes a few minutes to carefully search all the scientific literature. You describe your complex goal, as you would to a colleague. Then, we carefully search 200M+ papers. We classify the preliminary results with GPT-4. We then adapt the search goals based on relevant/irrelevant papers uncovered and continue searching,…

PaperLens▲11Hey HN, I built PaperLens ([thepaperlens.com](https://thepaperlens.com/)) after one too many frustrating sessions trying to find what I actually needed in academic research. Whether I was doing a literature review, trying to quickly find a solid source to back up a point in a discussion, or just attempting to understand a complex subject, traditional keyword searches often felt like searching for a needle in a haystack. PaperLens uses RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and the latest AI models to provide more precise, semantic search results. It also has an AI chatbot that…
