AI Support chatbot capable of replacing ~80% of the staff
Hey, citizens of HN! I and my team have developed a bot for technical support. We set ourselves the task of reaching a new level of chatbots. The thing is that nowadays bots often redirect customers to support staff when a question was not found in the bot's presets database or the customer requires some kind of interaction with the company (for example, wants to buy a product). We have solved this problem. 1. the bot is capable of answering complex questions that require analyzing the company's knowledge base (especially the technical part). 2. the possibility to leave a request for some…
In plain words
This AI-powered technical support chatbot handles complex customer inquiries by analyzing company knowledge bases and can process customer requests like plan changes without redirecting to human staff. Built for companies seeking to reduce support workload, it answers technical questions beyond preset responses and collects necessary information from customer interactions. The system is designed to handle approximately 80% of typical support volume independently.

Hey, citizens of HN! I and my team have developed a bot for technical support. We set ourselves the task of reaching a new level of chatbots. The thing is that nowadays bots often redirect customers to support staff when a question was not found in the bot's presets database or the customer requires some kind of interaction with the company (for example, wants to buy a product). We have solved this problem. 1. the bot is capable of answering complex questions that require analyzing the company's knowledge base (especially the technical part). 2. the possibility to leave a request for some action was introduced. For example, a customer can leave a request for connection to a tariff plan . An example of such a bot for the fictitious company BananaCom is given on the site, you can test it. After the request is made, the company receives the necessary information. Of course, if the client really wants to talk to an employee (if he can understand that he is talking to a bot), he will be transferred to the employee. When to transfer to an employee is a question to be discussed with a certain company, so the client will try to answer all your questions on the site if possible.

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

I saw this [0] pretty cool thread by user revskill, and wanted a quicker way to search through it, but also to keep them all in one place so I can read them at my leisure whenever I get time. Right now is like 60 lines of Ruby using Nokogiri, but I will certainly look into it further down the line and improve the list. There's a cronjob checking the thread every 12 hours but I will eventually shut that down and it will become static after that. There are some really awesome blogs in there. I really recommend going through the list, it made my day. [0] "Could you share your personal blog…
