helloduck1234··on Show HN: Built a haptic rig for SIM racing
Thanks!
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 17 and built a voice assistant that networks for you
Yooo this is sick
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
Yea, that was for our devs to test out stuff before pushing out, we forgot to disable it.
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
I can confirm
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
Thank you!
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
Yea ok, eliminating misinformation is what we want to eventually do. But what we can sell is something that eliminates human errors (the backend also allows for that).
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
Thank you!
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
Yea, that's why we also added in an grammar checker, even if they dont care about facts, they can get something better than gram marly that checks for way more for way less.
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
Yes, we checked it out, it seems pretty cool. What we aim to do, is creating a software that will check for everything, not just grammar or factuality. There is nothing in the market like it
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
Yea, thank you for the feedback, as its a beta deployment that's what we want, people finding bugs so we can fix everything for the full launch.
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
yes, we are working on it. But currently you can check each source by pressing the little i on the popup
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
Yea we are working on it. It is a thing that we are trying to fix, it giving too much or too little suggestions.
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
Yea, already done! It will be pushed tomorrow, when less people is on.
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
Yea, we are building one currently. It should be ready in the summer (as we have APs and finals coming up)
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
Hi there, we are working on one, as we are high school students, it wouldn't be done until the summer with the APs and finals coming up.
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
Thank you! We are working on our own LLM that is based of a multitude of data, we also will double check or even triple check all the information through our DB and the internet. We are working to make it as reliable as possible.
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
what do you mean?
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
Hi there, thank you for your feedback! I think we could potentially go down the route of a web3 approach where we get the public consensus on the facts.
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
thank you!
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
Ah Ok, thank you for the feedback!
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
Yea, infact the backend is really complicated, we have to go and do a lot of extra processing in order for the information to be displayed. The line there, just dont worry about it, I will edit it, I mean something else by that line, like you can't just steal our name and stuff like that.
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
Yea, thank you for your feedback!
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
Yea ok, we already have the citing thing done, and are going to start working on the RAG architecture soon.
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
We are incorporated in the UK because it is the only place that allows 16 year olds to do so. For the businesses, we still aren't done the features yet but we would charge by query for API and by user for the subscription.
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
Thank you!
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
Oh, it is because we set a global check limit, 1 per second (we didnt think we would get so many users, got 500 in the last 30 minutes) We will fix that. But a simple reload should suffice
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
Hi there, that would be great! What is your email? Mine is andrew@factful.io
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
Thank you!
helloduck1234··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
Yea thank you! We will fix it.

Damn, what the MVP does right now, is check for already established facts. So basically, what we define as fact is something that has proof. For example, we stray away from political views as those are opinions, and stay with “facts”. As for disputed facts, we would also stay away from them unless they have a significantly larger backing than the other. The source currently is LLMs that are trained on huge amounts of data. We have a learn more feature, so whenever you get a suggestion, it gives you the link that the information was pulled from so you can check yourself to see the source. So in a nutshell, we focus more on known solid facts like historic and scientific information. And we are not capping about our age, here is my linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-jiang1/
