Psychic - An open-source integration platform for unstructured data
My cofounder and I used to work at Robinhood where we shipped the company’s first OAuth integrations, so we know a lot about how data moves between companies. For example, we know that the pain of building new API integrations scales with the level of fragmentation and number of competing "standards". In the current meta, we see this pain with a lot of AI startups who invariably need to connect to their customers data, but have to support 50+ integrations before they even scale to 50+ customers. This is the process for an AI startup to add a new integration for a customer: - Pore over the…

Finic – Open source platform for building browser automations2024 · github.com · ▲143Last year we launched a project called Psychic that did moderately well on hacker news, but was a commercial failure. We were able to find customers, but none with compelling and overlapping use cases. Everyone who was interested was too early to be a real customer. This was our launch: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36032081 We recently decided to revive and rebrand the project after seeing a sudden spike in interest from people who wanted to connect LLMs to data - but specifically through browsers. It's also a problem we've experienced firsthand, having built scraping…
OpenAI/reflect – Physical AI Assistant that illuminates your life2025 · github.com · ▲92I have been working on making WebRTC + Embedded Devices easier for a few years. This is a hackathon project that pulled some of that together. I hope others build on it/it inspires them to play with hardware. I worked on it with two other people and I had a lot of fun with some of the ideas that came out of it. * Extendable/hackable - I tried to keep the code as simple as possible so others can fork/modify easily. * Communicate with light. With function calling it changes the light bulb, so it can match your mood or feelings. * Populate info from clients you control. I wanted…

RayApr 2026 · rayfinance.app · ▲298I've been using this daily for 4 months and figured others might find it useful. This is my first open source project so would love any feedback. Ray connects to your bank via Plaid, stores everything in an encrypted local SQLite database, and lets you ask questions about your finances in natural language. No cloud, no account, your data is stored on your machine. Before anything reaches the LLM, all PII is stripped — your name, companies, transaction details are redacted and replaced with tokens, then rehydrated locally in the response. The AI never sees who you are.
