Hey HN, yesterday we shared a post[0] about how you can store OpenAI embeddings in Postgres with pgvector.

This is a follow up demonstration, adding a "ChatGPT" interface to our own docs. To use it, you can go to https://supabase.com/docs and then type "cmd + /". This will pull up a "Clippy" interface, where you can ask it questions about supabase (sorry in advance to mobile users)

In "Show HN" spirit, it's very hacky/MVP, so I expect it will break. We'd value any feedback.

If you want to build something like this yourself, we sponsored Greg to create a video detailing all the steps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yhtjd7yGGGA

Also special shoutout to pgvector (https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector), which is used to store all of the embeddings.

awesome velocity - i could have sworn this was another of your famous Launch Weeks but its just a regular week for you now lol

there's been a lot of these bots coming out, and some of the poorly implemented ones are probably going to make this endeavor look bad, and i'm wondering for your thoughts - what Quality Control/testing approach do you think makes sense for an unbounded chat bot like this?

in our MVP checklist we had "XSS testing" and "Prompt injection", the latter somewhat cursory because there's no feasible way to prevent it right now. We found a lot of ways to "break out" of the prompt (which is also very visible since we're open source). Luckily, prompt break-outs are relatively benign (as long as we have spend-caps on OpenAI).

The biggest win for companies like us is that something like this becomes ubiquitous, so that people get bored of prompt-hacking and then just use the tool like they are supposed to. Over time we'll add rate-limiting, caching, and other hardening.

> Want to try it out? It's a hidden feature while in MVP - visit supabase.com/docs and hit cmd + / to pull up the search box (sorry mobile users). My keyboard does not have a cmd key, and I am not a mobile user.

5 mins - we can push another key combo

Please explain to me what's Supabase, but make it rhyme.

    Supabase is a great place,
    For hosting your database.
    It's open source and free,
    So you can use it with glee.
    It's simple to get started,
    No infrastructure to be charted.
    It's a hosted platform,
    So you can use it with no qualm.
