    Send this headline back in time five years and you would utterly bewilder people.

    Warning: Yet another vectorize-and-prompt-as-a-service website that simply forwards the entirety of your data to OpenAI.

    Hello HackerNews. I'm Alok. I love chatgpt and it makes my life so much easier. I was impressed by its power and capabilities, so being a developer, i decided to make a tool around it.

    I shared my tool on this subreddit and people really liked it. Lots of people gave me feedback on what things to improve.

    Many people wanted to share the chatbot with their friends and team members. Without them having to reupload all the pdfs. So i have now add this functionality and now you can share your chatbot with your friends and team members and let them join the fun (i mean chat)!

    I would love if you try it out and let me klnow what you think about it.

    I look forward to hearing your feedback.

    It doesn't seem any better than the alternatives. I happen to prefer Docalysis.com ;)

    How is this true if you use gpt4 in the background?

    Also, is there sound on that video? One of my browser extensions must be blocking it. I am interested in making something similar - how did you record it?
