Congratulations on the launch.

One customer type that will absolutely love that are architecture studios. Basically all data they generate (drawing, plans, presentation) live either on SharePoint or NFS (or some other file system like ACC).

If you can provide for them a solution they can host on their private cloud (air-gapped) you have an enterprise-deal.

Why air-gapped - many documents they generate are secret (military or competition. Think next largest tower in the world) - copy right: for example the German norm body DIN does not allow you to use documents from them and add them into an LLM (I'm not talking training, I simply talk RAG) except!!! if you keep it in a private cloud like Azure.

Why do I know that: because I worked on that problem @howie.systems

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Then this is what you should point out. In this case the file names in your promo visualization should NOT contain the search keyword. So if a search for "fashion upcycling" also returns "case_study_on_how_to_turn_PET_into_clothings.docx", then that's a great USP, and that is what you should point out in your pitch and visualization. This is because in real life most people already fail at finding good search terms.…

I'm not sure what you're referring to. On the landing page animation, out of 8 search results, only 3 have the word "upcycling", and 5 have either "upcycled" or "upcycling". In the segment after that, two files have neither "upcycling" nor "upcycled". What you're referring to seems already to be the case.

I love the website. You’ll find some strong opinions here, I wouldn’t make changes based solely on the HN crowd’s curmudgeonly takes.

I have no opinion on the matter but wanted to thank you for teaching me "curmudgeonly".
