Super (YC W18) - Turn company data into answers & agents for your team
Hey there, Chris here We're known for our straightforward yet powerful Knowledge Base, Slite(YCW18).We launched our AI-powered search in Feb 2023 and after getting great response and usage, we dove deeper into solving the challenge of knowledge retrieval in daily work. That's why we're now launching our second major product, Super(https://www.super.work). Super seamlessly connects your existing tools, providing accurate answers, streamlined workflows, automated digests, and much more. You might wonder: Why not just link your apps together using something like an MCP? The problem is…
In plain words
Super is an AI-powered platform that connects a company's existing tools to provide accurate answers, streamlined workflows, and automated digests. Built by the team behind knowledge base Slite, Super is designed for teams that struggle with knowledge retrieval across multiple applications. It integrates company data to power AI agents that answer questions and automate tasks, handling complex queries that require information from multiple sources more effectively than alternative integration approaches.

Hey there, Chris here We're known for our straightforward yet powerful Knowledge Base, Slite(YCW18).We launched our AI-powered search in Feb 2023 and after getting great response and usage, we dove deeper into solving the challenge of knowledge retrieval in daily work. That's why we're now launching our second major product, Super(https://www.super.work). Super seamlessly connects your existing tools, providing accurate answers, streamlined workflows, automated digests, and much more. You might wonder: Why not just link your apps together using something like an MCP? The problem is that MCPs can't handle complex knowledge retrieval effectively. MCPs are basically LLMs equipped with API toolbelts. If you've ever tried asking a complicated question through an MCP, one that needs data from multiple different tools, you've likely faced frustrating delays. MCPs slowly make API calls one after another, causing long waits while they collect data from each endpoint. By contrast, Super quickly searches through all the data that actually matters from all of your tools simultaneously. This means you'll get your accurate answer in seconds, not minutes. The limitations of MCP-based solutions become clear when you try to deploy them reliably within a team. They either won't index your critical content effectively, won't do it fast enough, or won't cover all your tools at once. Properly chunking, embedding, querying, and filtering data from various sources is still essential. MCPs triggering APIs can't match this integrated approach for speed and accuracy. Moreover, Super understands the value of running multiple tasks simultaneously through LLMs. For example, one step may involve identifying search filters, while another simultaneously uses an LLM to aggregate and refine information. This parallel process quickly shapes the final, accurate answer for users. Additionally, MCPs aren't designed for enterprise-grade use. Businesses need standardized experiences, fine-grained user permissions, and consistent access controls across multiple tools. Super addresses these requirements by indexing data beforehand while still respecting each user's access permissions. Super offers: - Perplexity-like search experience on your team data - A growing selection of integrations with popular data sources - Customizable AI assistants tailored to your specific needs - An extension to embed Super directly into external websites you're already using - A clear path for your company to adopt AI strategically, rather than letting individual employees scatter across different, incompatible tools. And of course... It does comes with its MCP, which makes your agentic workflows actually able to properly tap on your data. Here's a quick video showing Super in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5A6BRW90K4 Have you hit such walls with standard MCPs? Have you try building your own solutions?

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…
