Show HN: Skyvern – Browser automation using LLMs and computer visionhttps://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvernHey HN, we're building Skyvern (https://www.skyvern.com), an open-source tool that uses LLMs and computer vision to help companies automate browser-based workflows. You can see some examples here: https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern#real-world-examples-of... and there's a demo video at https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern#demo, along with some instructions on running it locally.We provide a natural-language API to automate repetitive manual workflows that happen within the companies' backoffices. You can check out our code and play with Skyvern here: https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/SkyvernWe talked to hundreds of companies about things they do in the background and found that most of them depend on repetitive manual workflows. The breadth of these workflows surprised us – most companies started off doing things manually, and eventually either hired people to scale the manual work, or wrote scripts using Selenium-like browser automation libraries.In these conversations, one common poinMar 14, 2024 4:31 PM

I'm bootstrapping a privacy respecting, multi-model AI chat servicehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39371299ChatGPT and friends have made generative AI easy to use however data privacy is an afterthought with companies openly saying that conversations will be used for training and can be reviewed by staff.Self-hosting can offer privacy but requires technical knowledge, adequate compute power and often comes at the sacrifice of nice cloud ux features (e.g. syncing across devices).I'd like to build a privacy first option[0], bringing zero-access encryption to users data to offer some reassurances that you are in control of who has access to your chats. This has been a successful pattern for email with ProtonMail, Tuta and Skiff (RIP) taking email plain text and encrypting it for their users.In the first iteration I'm aiming for the following features: - Encrypted core. Messages and generated responses currently have to be transferred in plain text however they should only live in short-term memory and be encrypted as soon as possible. - AI Chat. It's simple, we're familiar with it and it's useFeb 14, 2024 3:52 PM

Revolutionizing Outreach: From Rejection to Triumph with Sarah AIhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38894077A few months back, my friend Alessandro and I, Andrea, embarked on a side project named SplenderAI, delving into AI and automation consultancy for local businesses. After continuous outreach to many of them in our area, our initial excitement was met with rejection – a typical part of the entrepreneurial journey.Upon reflecting on our outreach approach, we started investigating online tools for outreach automation (since we found it an extremely laborious process) but found them lacking. Drag-and-drop solutions requiring intricate setups or even the having to define “outreach sequences” didn't align with our vision, so we decided to build an AI tool for internal use to help us get clients.Through conversations with fellow entrepreneurs and contacts from hackathons, we discovered a shared dissatisfaction with existing solutions. This realization prompted us to pivot SplenderAI into developing scalable solutions and to commercialize our internal tool as Sarah AI, a fully autonomous salesJan 6, 2024 6:52 PM

Show HN: Joi – speech-tech exploration led to AI girlfriend on Telegram (NSFW)https://joiaigirlfriend.comSince few month I've been exploring all kind of AIs. When it came to text-to-speech technologies, the reality of some of them (ElevenLabs here for instance) made me reconsider the way we could interact with AI. I started working on a Telegram bot, using both speech-to-text and text-to-speech technologies in order recreate a 'real' voice conversation with AI. In the meantime, I was exploring LLM models on HuggingFace, and APIs like their Inference API or even Replicate API to use these custom models, which I wanted to implement in a project as well, part of my exploration.This is where Joi's idea came - an AI girlfriend 'with benefits' (understand 'intimate talks' or 'uncensored AI' here) as a Telegram bot.For the ref: Joi is a character from BladeRunner 2049, an AI designed to be the ultimate companion, felt like a good fit.That's a side project, built over the weekend, but realised it could actually be of use for some, to fight loneliness and so.

Show HN: A ChatGPT TUI with custom botshttps://www.askmarvin.ai/guide/concepts/tui/Hi HN! We just shipped a full-featured TUI (Text User Interface) for chatting with your Marvin bots, powered by GPT 4 or GPT-3.5. Like all of Marvin, it's fully open-source and we hope you find it useful. To launch it, upgrade and run `marvin chat`.The TUI is built with Textual (https://github.com/textualize/textual/) and uses some of its newest features including background workers and modals. We've made base TUIs before but this is the first one that's a true "app" with many screens and coordinated global state. Happy to answer any questions about working with Textual - once it "clicked" it was surprisingly similar to building a traditional front end! Small note: Terminal.app on MacOS isn't great for TUIs, so while it'll work, we suggest an alternative terminal.One of our goals with the TUI was to integrate Marvin's bots into the familiar chat UX. Bots can have distinct personalities, instructions, and use plugins, so each one is like a mini "conversational application." You might knApr 8, 2023 7:10 PM

How we built a social network with No-Codehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35070143In the Fall of last year, we launched a social network for college students with No-Code.Here’s how we did it:Last summer (after having conversations with a few dozen college students), we stumbled across a very interesting insight:*80% of college students aren’t on Facebook anymore*.Sure, tools like Snapchat and Instagram exist that represent someone’s social graph, but there isn’t a central place for students to go get guidance from other peers. For students to even do simple transactions like exchanging textbooks, finding roommates, or buying sports tickets is messy.This gave us the idea that just maybe students were hungry for a new social network to fill the void Facebook left behind.Our goal was to create a digital community where students could discuss campus life, discover housing options, and buy/sell from other students.### Step 1: Build the PlatformTo make this happen, we started by setting up a (Circle)[https://circle.so/] community specifically for our first college, the UMar 8, 2023 3:27 PM
