Show HN: OSS AI agent that indexes and searches the Epstein files

#1

Post by jellyotsiro »

Hi HN,

I built an open-source AI agent that has already indexed and can search the entire Epstein files, roughly 100M words of publicly released documents.

The goal was simple: make a large, messy corpus of PDFs and text files immediately searchable in a precise way, without relying on keyword search or bloated prompts.

What it does:

- The full dataset is already indexed - You can ask natural language questions - Answers are grounded and include direct references to source documents - Supports both exact text lookup and semantic search

Discussion around these files is often fragmented. This makes it possible to explore the primary sources directly and verify claims without manually digging through thousands of pages.

Happy to answer questions or go into technical details.

This is a good idea. One thing I never understand about these kinds of projects though: why are the standard questions provided to the user as prompts never cached?

oh forgot about it, thanks. just a funny project i build in couple hours so didnt really sweat haha

And what did you learn?

Trump famously told New York Magazine in 2002: "I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side."

Trump and Epstein were social acquaintances in Palm Beach and New York circles during the 1990s-early 2000s. They socialized together at Mar-a-Lago and other venues

Interesting. It is my impression that almost everyone globally already knew this. What else did you learn?
