thank you Saran
"100 watt hours to joules", Thanks for let me know - its a parsing error.
I was born and raised in Tamil Nadu, having lived there for over two decades. In my experience, I have not witnessed any widespread harassment specifically targeting Brahmins. While isolated incidents may exist—just as they do for various communities across all states—there is no substantial evidence to suggest a systemic issue. Could you provide concrete examples, statistics, or credible sources to substantiate this claim ?
1. Currently, it's a proof of concept only. In the next release, I will make sure to include some use cases/examples.
2. I haven’t finalized the pricing yet. For now, it's free. When I release, the starting price will be around $7-10 per ~200 runs/questions. I’m also considering offering a free tier; I’ll work that out later. Thank you.
Do you need more details about How it finds the answer? I already shared most of the part in this thread.
The home page was done in 60 minutes, the whole product was done in 3 days. I was testing and releasing without any intention.
The quality of LLM does not improve my product much, I am facing extraction issues, will have to improve continually.
"You are going to see a lot of competition in this space." I welcome them all :)
I have designed the product for consumers and professionals. Since it's a new kind of product (?), I'm unsure what to call it. The agents continuously search the web on behalf of the user and create a feed for each query. Let me think more . . .
Langchain is a library specifically designed to facilitate the development of applications using LLMs. It provides tools and utilities to build complex NLP pipelines with ease.
Alertfor is a SaaS product that combines LLMs with agents to provide automated search.
Does this answer your question ?
Kindly try now with same question. I made some changes. I use Bing API as a initial resource selector. there were some issues. fixed it.
focus on a promising niche that has a problem and is willing to spend money on it is often regarded as best practice. many successful companies have been built on this principle. Unfortunately, this approach has never worked for me. I have worked on many products and followed these best practices, but I have yet to see success. Over the past 12+ years, I have experimented these best practices but nothing has worked. It would work for founders who has good networking /connections, living in CA, best in marketing, have good followers in Social media etc. Founder like me have no such assets. this is a big chicken or egg problem.
Instead, I decided to take a different approach and I create imaginative products based on ideas I'm passionate about and publish them continuously. If there is an interest, I then optimize the product for the interested customers, taking their feedback into account and continuing development accordingly.
I've added all suggestions from entire thread to my log and will prioritize implementing them.
Regarding pricing, I don't know offering a free tier is right approach or not .. I believe that the queries are complex and long. not sure they could be shared among users. Anyways, for next 2 or 3 months its going to be beta. my current focus is adding value, will ask the users about pricing later. Note that, for each question, it crawls 10-15 pages, or even more if you ask to enrich a table. there is LLM cost, now a days webpages are really huge.
Thank you again for your input and support. Please let me know if you have any other thoughts or questions.
for e.g any available 3 bedroom units currently for rent in Seattle use these resources: Zillow, redfin, realtors.
Instead of asking simple questions like "Who is the current NBA champion?", I would like to approach this project as a complex data collector.
For example:
I live in Seattle and want to buy a MacBook Pro with the following specifications: - 8-Core CPU - 10-Core GPU - 16GB Unified Memory - 1TB SSD Storage
Can you compare online prices and provide me with a report?
Alert Setup: Please alert me if there are any price drops in any store.
For example. Query: What is the temperature in Seattle? Answer: 17°C Alert Setup: Alert me if it reaches 23°C.
The app continuously monitors the source for updates on the queried information. In this example, the temperature data is regularly checked against the alert condition set by the user.
The real-time aspect depends on how frequently we scrape data using scheduled jobs. Currently, the app checks the data at set intervals (6 hours) to ensure timely notifications.
