Gurubase – AI-Powered Q&A Assistants for Any Topic

Hacker News

Hey everyone, A couple of months ago, we created Gurubase.io to build RAG-based Q&A agents focused on open-source tools, with the goal of helping developers learn and troubleshoot more effectively. Since then, it has gained momentum, with hundreds of repositories already using it and showcasing it to their users.. https://github.com/Gurubase/gurubase?tab=readme-ov-file#used... Today, we've released the entire system as an open-source project, allowing you to install it in your own infrastructure and create "Gurus" on any topic you choose. Current capabilities of Gurubase: * You can create a Guru by powering it with PDFs, web pages, YouTube videos, or GitHub repositories. * We present Binge, which visualizes your chat history as a node graph. You can navigate through it and create a personalized path. * The system includes an instant evaluation mechanism to minimize hallucinations in generated answers as much as possible. * You can also embed your Guru into your website using an "Ask AI" widget. Check out https://getanteon.com to see it in action. * Although we initially focused on GitHub repositories, you can now create Gurus on any topic, website, or whatever you want by providing the related data. We appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance! GH Repo: https://github.com/Gurubase/gurubase
