    Show HN: FrequentlyAskedAI – An interactive AI FAQ alternative to chatbots

    I originally released an interactive resume tool and that went well but I got pulled in another direction by HN. HN really slammed my server on the original thing I built (thanks f…

    FYI, I haven't actually upgraded my backend server yet so if any of you find it being slow let me know. My target response latency is two to five seconds and a maximum of 10 second…

    Lol thanks yeah. jonnycoder actually gave me some of my very initial feedback. A lot of the initial feedback from all of you was super helpful.

    Turns out, since embeddings represent "meaning" instead of keywords, given the right model, this kind of search is somewhat automatically 'internationalized'. There's some discussi…

    For a while now I've wanted a generalized higher dimensional acceleration structure for AI vector embeddings that is conceptually similar to ray tracing bounding volume heirarchies…

    How do y'all define 'similar music' anyway. I haven't found the perfect playlist creator or music recommender. Spotify's radio has a pretty low hit rate for me. In some ways, I thi…

    Nice thanks lol. I had to do a recent overhaul of this. And I agree, this is not a chatbot. v1 was a chatbot actually, but it wasn't received well for various reasons, one being th…

    Lol, this is exactly the point. You're more willing to ask what you really want to ask which draws you into a conversation and ultimately makes the person you're asking more memora…

    Hahahaha that's great. Yeah I see what you did there. Originally I had mine in chat form but for various reasons, it seemed like an FAQ format with 'sources' resonated better. I co…

    Thanks! They're a part of what I'm using yes but I actually have a pluggable AI system because their API had...we'll say reliability issues. So I can diversify more if needed. I've…

    Ack on your edit. Thanks, it means a lot. I think there's a lot of work to do to work out the kinks with things like hallucinations, but I think we forget sometimes so much of what…

    Hmm. Interesting bug. I'll have to look into that. Thanks for the report.

    Okay since this is getting way more attention than I thought. Maybe it ends up just being a toy, but if you want one of your own, sign up or email me at anyeung@protoconstruct.com.…

    This was a fun one to think about. The secret is in where this link is posted. I was thinking through domain name verification and realized that if employers trust LinkedIn, and yo…

    Dealing with hallucinations was really finicky. I think I have a way to prevent that now though and ultimately give you control. 'Document search' style things always hallucinated …

    Thanks, yeah! I agree. The import tools was one of the biggest things I had to work on recently. I needed to balance import everything with no user input (which is prone to halluci…

    I'm sticking to just URLs for now because they can go anywhere but eventually if it actually becomes a bigger thing, I'd make it easy to integrate into anything (extensions, iframe…

    Yeah that was REALLY finicky to get right. I have a few ways to prevent hallucinations and I haven't gotten any in the latest iteration even with really crazy questions being asked…

    Yeah, there are two angles I'm exploring. LinkedIn is a very recruiter focused breadth first search and not very candidate friendly. I think that's why so many profiles are incompl…

    Thanks! It's very early, like, I can imagine this being a way to pre-warm any cold interactions I might have with new people I meet at work, conferences, etc. More importantly, as …
