Want to find a problem worth building a product for? Talk to more users. I built Painfinder to let you chat with 25k user software reviews and find problems that nobody is solving. Powered by @LangChainAI from @hwchase17 and @pinecone ! Here's a free idea hiding in the data ⬇️

Know where users get confused in your product? No. You are an expert at using it We built FastAB to show you where users get tripped up: 1⃣Upload a figma screenshot 2⃣Watch AI use your product 100s of times Built @southpkcommons with @replicatehq and @hwchase17 's @LangChainAI

It’s hard to tell if NYT and Fox News even agree on reality sometimes So we built Janus to show you where NYT and Fox find common ground, and where they don't. Created with @TheMountainDu ! Powered by @LangChainAI from @hwchase17 . See what they say about UFO 🛸 legislation👇

Stellar support from @replicate We had an influx of new users yesterday and hit the limit on number of models created, which caused our product to break It took <45 mins from me sending a help message to @fofrAI to their fix hitting production and unblocking us. On a Sunday!

@Karmedge @LangChainAI @hwchase17 @pinecone Hey Robert -- I pulled a bunch of the most similar reviews from the vector DB, then did a first pass over those reviews with GPT 3.5 to filter down to only text that was relevant to the query. Then I put only the relevant text into a GPT-4 call. A bit expensive, but manageable.
