Sleuth, open source workspace search in natural language

Hey everyone, We know how hard it can be to ramp up and learn the ins and outs of a new company. - “Who should I talk to about customer onboarding?” - “What was that project the onboarding team shipped in June, that had a massive impact on step 3 completion rate?” Instead of asking someone the same question that’s been asked hundreds of times before, it’s more efficient to find answers in existing documents and past conversations. The problem is, this data is spread out across dozens of workplace apps, with search features that all work differently. That’s why we’ve created Sleuth, an open…

In plain words

Sleuth is an open source library that searches across a company's workspace data using natural language queries. It indexes documents and conversations spread across multiple workplace apps, understanding question intent rather than just matching keywords. The tool is designed for new employees and team members who need to find information quickly without repeatedly asking colleagues the same questions.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey everyone, We know how hard it can be to ramp up and learn the ins and outs of a new company. - “Who should I talk to about customer onboarding?” - “What was that project the onboarding team shipped in June, that had a massive impact on step 3 completion rate?” Instead of asking someone the same question that’s been asked hundreds of times before, it’s more efficient to find answers in existing documents and past conversations. The problem is, this data is spread out across dozens of workplace apps, with search features that all work differently. That’s why we’ve created Sleuth, an open source library that allows you to search through your company’s entire history using natural language. It understands the intent of your question, not just the keywords. Here’s a demo: https://www.loom.com/share/71625cce862f4d4ea12b8a87ad94e407 You can fork our repo (https://github.com/getsleuth/Sleuth) and try it right now, or book a 15 min call (https://calendly.com/triton-founders/sleuth-feedback) with us to share your feedback. How does it work? Vector embeddings are generated for slack messages using OpenAI’s text-embedding-ada-002 model and stored in a Pinecone vector database for easy querying. How is this different from Glean? Glean is great, but we wanted to introduce a product that anyone can fork, use, and customize without ever talking to a sales team. Building in public makes for better products. What integrations do you support? Just Slack to start. What other integrations would you like to see?

    This works suprisingly well. Just give it instructions like "make it winter" or "remove the cars" and the photo is altered. Here are some examples of transformations it can make: Golden gate bridge: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brycedrennan/imaginAIry/ma...

    The project is called QueryStorm. It uses Roslyn to offer C# (and VB.NET) support in Excel, as an alternative to VBA. I've posted about it before, but a lot has changed since then so figured I'd share an update. The current version includes a host of new features, namely a C# debugger, support for NuGet packages, and the ability to publish Excel extensions to an "AppStore" (which is essentially a NuGet repository). The AppStore can be used by anyone with the (free) runtime component. Another great addition is the community license, which is a free license for individuals and small companies…

    Hey HN! Some more info: I’m an NHS doctor and the founder of Pi-A (https://www.pi-a.io) which developed Lungy (https://www.lungy.app). Lungy is an app (iOS only for now) that responds to breathing in real-time and was designed to make breathing exercises more engaging and beneficial to do. It hopefully has many aspects of interest to the HN community – real-time fluid, cloth and soft body sims running on the phone’s GPU. My background is as a junior surgical trainee and I started building Lungy in 2020 during the first COVID lockdown in London. During COVID, there were…
