it's similar to triggers, but with a routing layer that combines semantic triggers and memory. the magic is defining them as files in the repo (like skills) and not worrying about the execution.

the working spec is files like `.agents/daemons//DAEMON.md` and they have access to skills and rules in the repo so you don't need to duplicate them.

you could even have a daemon that just says to run an existing skill.

It was less than $2 to embed all 100+ episodes with the new OpenAI embeddings and was as easy as just making a bunch of API calls. Pretty hard to beat that experience.

It's not fine tuned. You literally just add something like "if the answer to the question isn't in the context, say 'I don't know'" It's wild.

Thanks a lot. It's nice when people appreciate the stuff I build for fun.

The UI is my own design system that I will open source at some point. The app is Remix with a Redis cache to keep things snappy.

Old version? Works on latest for me, but the CSS uses @layer which doesn't have great support with older browsers.

The embeddings cost less than $2 for all 100+ episodes. The cost for the answering calls to davinci are around $30 so far.

It uses Whisper for transcripts, which I believe are better than the YouTube generated ones.

My guess is that there are more relevant results from the semantic search than I'm including in the context (to reduce costs) and that exact snippet isn't being given to the answering model as context.

This is a quick prototype I built for semantic search and factual question answering using embeddings and GPT-3.

It tries to solve the LLM hallucination issue by guiding it only to answer questions from the given context instead of making things up. If you ask something not covered in an episode, it should say that it doesn't know rather than providing a plausible, but potentially incorrect response.

It uses Whisper to transcribe, text-embedding-ada-002 to embed, Pinecone.io to search, and text-davinci-003 to generate the answer.

Ha, nice work getting ChatGPT to do it. I started down the same route, but wanted to get it done fast so I'm just grabbing the relevant HTML and then adding a few styles to clean up things like controls.

I was getting really sick of taking and sharing multiple screenshots every time I wanted to share a ChatGPT thread, so I made https://gpt.best/

It's a minimal tool that creates shareable links [1] from ChatGPT conversations. It also has dynamic share images so you get a screenshot of the beginning of the thread for free.

Ryan never asked me to clean anything. However, I find it hard to work in messy spaces, so my workspace rarely looks like a "real" one.
