#162“Where we going we don’t need docs”. That scares me… docs are among other things there to provide context and info for things not clear from why certain choices were made or not made… no way your AI is going to guess that I put that restriction because of an explicit request from product, despite it looking wrong…
I can imagine the founder shout “Where we going we don’t need docs” whilst shoveling VC money into the steam engine.

#163very nice! FYI the 'free coffee' link (https://calendly.com/dakshgupta/free-coffee) identifies you as " Daksh, co-founder/CEO at Onboard."
Also I am getting the 'Error: Internal error while processing request'

#165You’re going to want to define the acronym RAG before you use it a dozen times in your marketing copy. Presumably it’s great news that I can RAG on my codebase. But I’m not sure whether I’ve ever ragged anything in my career or whether I’ll want to now. If you told us what it meant, we could probably understand what your thing does.
Thanks Jason, you're right. We spend so much time around RAG that we forget this is niche term. RAG -> retrieval augmented generation. Given a query, finding the parts of the codebase most relevant to the query, and supplying it to the LLM so it can answer the query. The typical way to do this is semantic similarity, or chunking + embedding the corpus being searched, embedding the query and finding the k most cosine-…
RAG vs fine-tuning makes a difference to you, but not to your users, who don't need to understand how they're not the same thing in order to use your product.

#166Earlier quoted context omitted.
I like to use different email addresses for different services. Please just ask me for an email address to use instead of using the one on github.
That makes sense, we should change that. Thanks for pointing it out.
don't over index on corner cases.

Thanks. Even that is pretty dense for someone who hasn’t been living and breathing LLMs for the last year. https://xkcd.com/2501/ You’ll want to find a balance between telling people what your thing does with no jargon or acronyms whatsoever, while signaling to people who know as much as you about this stuff (all four of them) that it’s got those cool ingredients. All the best.
A simpler way to put it is it's a technique to get around the context limit/attention issues of an LLM... to inject the context that is most relevant to the user's query.

#168“Where we going we don’t need docs”. That scares me… docs are among other things there to provide context and info for things not clear from why certain choices were made or not made… no way your AI is going to guess that I put that restriction because of an explicit request from product, despite it looking wrong…
Yep, agreed. As a founder of another YC company that's done a bunch of RAG on code and docs, the accuracy boost you get from having good docs makes a massive difference. You really do need a human interpreter to show you "how to use" a product.

#169I only get 'Error: Internal error while processing request.' when I try to run queries. I tested three different repos, same error message appeared for each repo.
Hi! Sorry about that, HN Launch way more stress on our system than we expected. Working hard to get back to reliability.

Thanks for the catch! Changing it now.
