    I'm building LiquidIndex, an RAG API service that makes it easy to add personalized context to AI apps. Instead of building a whole system to upload, process, and search through a user’s files or notes, you just call a few APIs. It handles the hard parts - like connecting to Notion or Google Drive, breaking the data into usable pieces, and making it searchable. Then, when you want to answer a question using that data, you just query it, and it gives you the most relevant results - optionally with an LLM-generated answer. No pipelines, no infrastructure, no headaches. Here are the core APIs:…

    Modern 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…
