Show HN: Chord, autonomous research to curate the Internet’s favorite stuff

Finding “the best” camera lens, hiking trail, or Python database adapter requires digging through many search results and online discussions. You’re not going to trust the first result you see in a “top-10” marketing blog post.

Often, you need to read dozens of articles and Reddit threads to establish consensus on whatever you’re looking for. This is hard work, so we have an AI do this research while you can watch in real time.

The final result is a permanent article summarizing consensus views. Unlike closed chatbots, our articles are public by default so improvements submitted by our users compound with time.

Our research is composed of several question decomposition + retrieval models executing in parallel, plus iterative reflection points where the model verifies that all parts of a query have been handled. We used Phoenix/LiveView to stream our research steps & the article generation. Would love to hear what you think!
