I think that those tools not seeking the spotlight might also be at risk. I'm fairly sure some of these tools have a 'twin' that has found success by securing early adopters and has become the de-facto tool for 'X' job, largely due to marketing.


What risk? Most of those tools are created by inexperienced people that will only notice how bad it was in the future (and they will fail to achieve the same success with much better products later)


Very plausible.

Still it feels like there’s way more problems that software hasn’t quite solved yet that LLMs may only go near.

Maybe, it was quite slow when I went to it prior to me posting it


I love this oh my god.I didn't know what I was expecting by a "full body keyboard", but I'm sold.


Also want to jump in with https://libraria.dev/ for PDFs too, I just recently updated this with large PDF uploads, you can share your chatbots, have it in different views, and more


hi, try the same with Zappy! As mentioned in another comment, Dumbledore was set up to "enable" GPT: https://ibb.co/8sQh1X6 . I give you the option to "only" use your own documents.


That would be really really cool if I could able to serve that space. I'd be curious to know what kind of features you'd want to have, what would be deal-breakers, etc!


Basic setup: point it at a folder of PDFs, have it recurse in and read them all, then ask it questions like:

* Summarize these papers on chimpanzee cooperation in the wild. What other papers should I be reading?

* Suggest an interesting master's thesis topic on the early modern economy.

* How good are polygenic scores at predicting educational attainment, and how has this developed over time?

Bonus: integrate it with e.g. google scholar, so it can go and find and read new papers.

Pricing: it is probably easier to start selling this to individual academics. Then when you've got a compelling product and the word is out, you could sell it to the whole lab (at a much higher price because people can put it in their grant budgets).

Gotchas: privacy. Nobody wants their hot unpublished paper to be scooped by a large language model.


Not person with original question but he asks for the same feature as I would like to see.

I am not sure how the documents are handled in your product, since Chat GPT has a context limit that probably wont be able to hold longer papers in memory.

For me, I have a pdf[0] depicting a system that can be programmed, along with bits of pseudo-code and a lot of clarifications. Something that the Chat GPT could use to spit out an actual implementation, if it were able to "think" about the pdf as a whole. I would love to see if your product is capable of such feat.

Drive-Based Utility-Maximizing Computer Game Non-Player Characters by Colm Sloan (note that basically only chapter 3 is needed in this case, but its still over 40 pages long)


good callout - I had it setup to delete immediately after processing, but looks like there was an issue on my end for that! Fixed now and deleted ones that were uploaded before. s3 was storing manual uploads (not data scraped from urls), and should not be storing them anymore.


Yes! I'm currently working on it. I'm trying to improve CSV imports right now (current users have large csvs they want to go through)


Amazing. Another thing - make it si that we can give you our emails and you can send us updates there so we can track the progress of the app and come back to it when needed.


It's at the very bottom of the page! I'll try to make it more visible tomorrow as well (:


Hi! I definitely did not expect this reception, so I've been running into quite a few issues (,:

Send me an email and I'll debug it for you https://libraria.dev/about
