    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 hacker news, We’re the cofounders at Psychic.dev (http://psychic.dev) where we help companies connect LLMs to private data. With the launch of Llama 2, we think it’s finally viable to self-host an internal application that’s on-par with ChatGPT, so we did exactly that and made it an open source project. We also included a vector DB and API server so you can upload files and connect Llama 2 to your own data. The RAG in RAGstack stands for Retrieval Augmented Generation, a technique where the capabilities of a large language model (LLM) are augmented by retrieving information…

    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:…

    Hi HN, I’m Matt Mahowald, and together with my cofounder John, we’re launching the public beta of Ragnerock today. As a data scientist, you spend the majority of your time wrangling data. Even though you might have a set of techniques and tricks you like to use, how exactly you treat a particular source of data tends to be fairly bespoke, so you end up writing custom logic each time. Ragnerock was born from the observation that modern LLMs can be used to automate a lot of the grunt work involved in this process, while still allowing for fully customizable pipelines. What’s more, by…

    Hi HN, We built one of the largest RAG set-ups that exist toady with Usul.ai (6B tokens). We started by using langchain and llamaindex, they were able to get us to a prototype in a couple of days, but took 3 months of taking pieces apart and optimizing them to make it perform well at such large scale. We put all of these learning into an MIT licensed open-source project — Agentset. Our goal to let people get production quality RAG w/o having to understand or optimize the underlying pieces. It supports 22 file formats, agentic search, deep research, citations, and a UI out of the box.…

    Hey all! I wanted to share this project I've been working on that can maybe help you or your developer friends out. I built a RAG system for our product a while back and didn't realize how easy they were to get started. So I put together my learnings into this online course. It's not quite ready but if you sign up and mention HackerNews, I can get you early access. I'm looking to get feedback on the following: (1) materials — is it engaging & did you learn something? (2) UI/UX of the platform — did you have any issues that prevented you from starting or finishing the tutorial? (3)…

    I've been presenting at local meetups about Context Engineering, RAG, Skills, etc.. I even have a vbrownbag coming up on LinkedIn about this topic so I figured I would make a basic example that uses bedrock so I can use it in my talks or vbrownbags. Hopefully it's useful.
