Hey there HN! I lead Product at Vectara. Some of us read a lot of articles on the web (like those on HN) and we were desperately trying to recall the text we read -- using semantic search because we might not have remembered the exact text we read. (Or ask questions about the content -- ChatGPT style.) Sankofa is a new browser extension that can automatically index web pages you visit and let you search / ask questions about that content. We built it using Vectara's retrieval-augmented-generation (RAG) platform and hope this is useful to folks. This is an initial release: we would love…

Hey Hackernews, I'm Ofer, head of developer relations at Vectara. Some of us read a lot of articles on the web, like those on HN, and it seems useful to be able to search the contents of the text we read (using semantic search), or ask questions about it (ChatGPT style). Sankofa is a new browser extension that allows you to index web pages you visit and search / ask questions about that content. We built it using Vectara's retrieval-augmented-generation (RAG) platform and hope this is useful to folks. This is an initial release - we would love to hear any feedback and suggestions. BTW,…

Hi HN, For over two years I've been working on an App to learn languages (currently French, Italian and Spanish), together with my partner, a language teacher. I think it is finally ready to share with this community! The idea is to introduce vocabulary and grammar whilst you read eBooks in your own language. I've found that it is easier to remember vocabulary 'in context' and with regular repetition. Plus you don't have to carve out dedicated time for language learning. Other apps require you to build a habit around various exercises or ‘games’, whereas lots of people already read books.…

This is just a small thing I coded to help me see my entire convo history in beautiful markdown, in Obsidian (my note-taking app). [Link to Github repo](https://github.com/mohamed-chs/chatgpt-history-export-to-md). The Python script helps you to convert conversations extracted from ChatGPT (ZIP export all your data, sent by Openai) into neatly formatted Markdown files. Also adds YAML metadata headers and includes Code interpreter (Advanced data analysis) intput / output code. Feel free to fork the repo and implement your own improvements, I feel like there's alot…

Wat dat" (What's that?) is a Firefox extension that sends any highlighted text to Groq and provides a simple explanation for it. Every day, while learning or researching, I often need to look up the meanings of words or struggle to understand certain sentences. This breaks my flow and adds cognitive load due to context switching. So I created this extension to make my life a little easier. It requires your own Groq API key and uses the llama3-70b model. All data is stored locally, ensuring your API key remains secure. How It Works: - Highlight text you want explained and press the shortcut…
