I built Haystack – your own google for scattered workplace knowledge

Hacker News

Hi all! A few weeks ago I was scrolling through confluence pages trying to find ssh connection details to our integration machine for 40 minutes straight, later I discovered my co-worker slack'ed me the ssh connection string two months ago. So the same weekend I started working on haystack - a search engine for workplace apps. that enables you to search slack, confluence, jira, teams, sharepoint, github, and email in one place. I wanted it to support natural language queries so a query like: "how to connect to integ2 machine?" yields: ssh -i private.pem ubuntu@ec2-integration2.eu-est-1.compute.amazonaws.com I decided that user data should be stored locally, so all logic is completely client-sided (including the NLP model) - I don’t want access to your internal docs, thanks. I rolled it out to my co-workers a week ago and they thought it's a hit, so I'm planning on releasing it publicly on March 2023. But if you want to try it out before then it's available here: https://haystack.it . Thanks!
