> I started building Find AI to make it easier to search for people. I initially started just having GPT review people's LinkedIn profiles and websites, but it cost thousands of dollars per search (!). Can you help me connect to what was costing >$1k/search or is that hyperbole? Genuinely interested, not patronizing.

I suppose every search was passing all indexed documents into GPT asking for a rating

Yes, essentially this. Massive contexts and massive numbers of documents.

Thanks everybody for trying this out. I just looked at our logs and we're doing >2k requests per minute to OpenAI right now. Free users only get partial search results. If there are any you want to see run to completion, reply here or email me and I'll mark it to run to completion. (The code PRODUCTHUNT is also available this week for a free month of access).

Congrats on the traffic, I hope you get a high conversion rate :)

I assume you do more than one GPT call per search, e.g. rewriting user's query into multiple search queries, summarization of the results, etc.?

Hi Philip! This tool looks amazing!

My company specializes in selling to underserved communities in the AMEA region. Can your product help me connect with LGBT customers specifically in the Sudan and Saudi Arabia? Thanks!

PS can I get their exact addresses as well as the addresses of their family members and community leaders?

This shouldn't be downvoted as it raises an important point about privacy and safety.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Are people on LinkedIn with profiles set to private indexed?

We don't scrape LinkedIn. We use some basic tools to infer the LinkedIn profile link for each person's page (e.g. [1]), but we don't actually scrape linkedin. [1] https://usefind.ai/companies/contraption-company/people/phil...

You are using data from that LinkedIn leak from a while ago?

Is this OP's problem or LinkedIn's problem? If he's just searching their data, can he really be blamed for making that work better?
