Recently started, not a lot of stuff here. Planning to add my personal blog here and the apps/tools/games that I build for fun and profit.

Re:Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)? on Monday September 30, 2024 @01:21AM (#41693790)
I have been working on some useful tools that I am adding to my personal website repo here: https://github.com/volumetric/vinit-website/tree/main/app

Till now, I have made the following tools: 1. Image Generator 2. Emoji Maker 3. OpenAPI Explorer (Explore 4000+ OpenAPI Spec Files in a nice GUI) 4. WIP - Cyber Sign - Digitally Document Signing Tool 5. WIP - Meme Generator - Make a Meme Image, GIF, Video, etc. with a text prompt

All the code is public and open source.

If you want to use the tools directly, you can check them on my website: https://www.vinitagrawal.com/

Re:Slack Search with LangChain's Self-Querying AI on Monday December 18, 2023 @10:19AM (#38683596)
In this video I have demonstrated and shown how to convert a search-related question asked to a @Slackhq Chatbot into a search with a pre-filter applied to make the search results more relevant.

I have used @LangChain 's Self-Querying feature that can convert a question like this:

"Can you find me that thread where Vinit Agrawal talked about AI Safety on the General channel?"

to

"from: @VinitAgrawal88 in:#general AI Safety"

This will reduce the search space significantly and improve the quality and relevance of search results.

Nice Deep Fake

How do you build that. I mean, what goes into building an A/B Testing system. Does it involve a bunch of statistics and maths?
Re:Ask HN: What are you working on? on Thursday July 04, 2019 @06:53PM (#20358441)
This is really cool. Not bad for your first game :)
Re:Ask HN: What are you working on? on Thursday July 04, 2019 @06:51PM (#20358432)
This looks like a really useful tool. I would use it. How are you planning to market it?

Working on my company TARS. We have built a non-AI non-NLP Chatbot Builder product for last 3.5 Years.

I also wish I had time for some Side Projects.

Re:Mailchimp changes are far worse (and shadier) than expected on Wednesday May 29, 2019 @02:13PM (#20043492)
I feel the pricing structure of MailChimp has become very complex. It reminds me of the pricing structure of intercom. Very difficult to clearly understand what am I being charged for. I don't know why they are doing this. They should work on making new features and charge more for that.

Make the technology for flying cars. Like the one in the movie Blade Runner.

This is some real breakthrough. I don't remember i have heard of anything like this before. Any amount of success with this solution will have a lot of consequences on other problems.

This is quite an amazing technology. With new products like HoloLens and this, i think Microsoft is finally coming around.

Re:Ask HN: What is the biggest untapped opportunity for startups? on Sunday February 05, 2017 @11:51PM (#13576581)
ChatBots: One big opportunity that i can see is the rise of chatbots on popular messaging platforms. It is going to bring the tech advances to a lot more people in a much easier way.
Re:Ask HN: How do you decide what to learn next? on Sunday April 24, 2016 @10:29AM (#11559788)
I decide based on what i need to build next, and that came from what i want to build, at some point in the past.

Also i have "This is interesting" moments, from time to time.

Re:Kite – Programming Copilot on Thursday April 14, 2016 @10:43PM (#11501724)
Looks like an amazing tool. Have to use it before i can tell more. Showing the documentation and example is cool and all, a very useful feature would be the search and analysis of the error messages upon program compilation/run. Most likely from stackOverflow.

This will make things so much easier. Reminds me of how2 https://github.com/santinic/how2

Re:SlimFAQ – Simple FAQ's for your app or website on Wednesday February 24, 2016 @10:00AM (#11167187)
We also thought about the problem of explaining our product/service, but instead of a static FAQ page, we decided to use our own "Automated Chat" product. check it out: https://hellotars.com/convBot/demos/tars/
