chandan_maruthi··on I coined the word "Distributable Expertize"
Not saying it is an achievement. But it a concept I think must be well shared. And if you dont use AI in writing in 2025 you may as well live under a rock.

One more related question, are there any metrics around conversation rates to be aware of.

"custom dependency resolver" I am intrigued, Ill check it out.

How do you handle dependencies like libraries?

I can definitely relate. As an engineering manager, migration projects are often the least fun to work on. They are complex, take a ton of time and no one wants to work on them. If this works as promised. I would like to try it on a few migrations myself. Best of luck on your work,

Damm!!! I actually thought they shut down.

chandan_maruthi··on Launch HN: Second (YC W23) – AI bots that add features to web apps
A an engineer and founder I can say this makes a ton of sense. There are often tons of generic screen very app needs to build that are just not worth the time building custom, I can imagine myself using Second for such screens that are not core to my functionality but essential to complete the product story. Kudos for the work Eric.

Update: Still waiting on OpenAI to increase API limits after we hit hard limits after a popular HN post

Thats an interesting use case. How would you think you would use it on RFCs
chandan_maruthi··on GPT3 Get answers to technical questions from your documentation site
Yes the only have a completions api now

Dang, Hi, If you see just below the "add me to waitlist", There are live Chat Bots created for several companies you can try out right now. These chat interfaces are live and work on custom/fine-tuned models that have been trained on the documentation of these companies.

Over the last 9hrs users exchanged over 6000 messages with the bots. So it's live, it works, and users can try and play with it right now and give feedback.

A few hrs ago the bots hit OpenAis usage limits, Else its was working actively with over several hundred unique users interacting with the bot asking 4-5 questions each

Just saw someone tried to hack/denial-of-serive the bot by just putting too many words in the prompt. (This hit triggers as usage is token based) .

I just set a prompt limit of 100 characters should be plenty. Bot is till down until OpenAI resets limits. https://twitter.com/chandanmaruthi/status/161213449603556966...

Hi All, We had over 6,000k interactions and have hit OpenAIs hard api usage limits :-). I have requested OpenAi to increase limits. Until then the live chat with bot may be restricted. Remember to get on the waitlist with "get access" if you want to give it a try when the live chat starts again.

Stuff that was very hard just a few years ago is now relatively easier to do. I guess that is the nature of technology.

That must have been me :-), I realized the thumbnail and fav icons were not updated so made a push. Sorry about it. I saw people posting on Twitter and I had to update them for meta tags unfurling stuff.

Ha ha ha ! You have a point, That would be the next problem to tackle. Probably try to determine if I should even try to answer a question before attempting it. And then not showing results that don't fit criteria. At a high level, it seems like some embedding works need investigation but I haven't done much evaluation there. There would be filtering at both question and answer levels I suppose.

Good idea, I have not considered on prem yet. But I can see the need in cases where data is sensitive.
chandan_maruthi··on GPT3 Get answers to technical questions from your documentation site
Thank you, Yeah thats a good idea, Like literally take everything from the shared drives and train on it.
chandan_maruthi··on GPT3 Get answers to technical questions from your documentation site
I am still figuring that out. More updates soon.

Hi, I am training a custom GPT model on documentation published by these companies on their documentation websites. Its not reading from code/comments. But their documentation/support sites.

It should check all the boxes.

The waitlist is to allow us to onboard companies in an orderly way as each bot is trained on their custom documentation.

I have changed the words to "Get Access". I hope that helps.

Agree, a snippet that you add to the application that trains every day and gets better. I am thinking we can ingest data every day/week as documentation updates.

Hi, I took a quick look at trainmyai. I would say we are focused on this specific usecase. Making it easy for users to interact with help and support docs and knowledge. We will keep improving and getting better in this specific use case.

You get custom/fine-tuned models with Twig that only you have access to. You also get to train on private/behind-login information that is available to only your users.

Think of it as use-case-specific solutions vs generic solution.

chandan_maruthi··on GPT3 Get answers to technical questions from your documentation site
Open AI has a concept called fine-tuning. You can create a new model on top of OpenAIs own models using your data. These new models are only available to you. This allows you to build custom applications that are better than generic models in very specific scenarios like this.

I was able to break down the content into smaller prompts/completions. And remove some recurring and low-information data. Your suggestion of using embeddings to identify and feed relevant completions is pretty good. I'll try that soon.

Thats a good project. My PR Comments are often less than good. I could use something like that.
chandan_maruthi··on GPT3 Get answers to technical questions from your documentation site
Thank you. Appreciate the feedback. I agree APIs be built for - Learning about usage stats - What users are asking - Flow of questions/intent etc
