Corpus

Structured research engine. Absurdly fast. Open source.

What it does

Document research shouldn't cost five figures. Corpus is an open-source research engine that turns mountains of documents into structured answers. Upload hundreds of files, ask dozens of questions, get back a clean spreadsheet—in parallel across your entire corpus. No more reading PDFs one by one or copy-pasting into chatbots. Upload, query, extract. Built this solo because I needed a better way. AGPL licensed, open codebase. Contributors welcome.

    Hi HN! Open Paper allows you to annotate and understand your research papers with an AI copilot. I wanted a paper-reading assistant that let met actually dig into papers in-place while benefiting from AI tooling. When it comes to studying, I'm not a fan of the typical chat interfaces that obfuscate uploaded files and turn them into black box 'content'. Hence, I've implemented a split-pane view. To mitigate the risk of hallucinations, all AI responses come with grounded citations that refer back to the source material in-flow. Some feature highlights: - Actually read your papers in one place…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
