Show HN: YC idea matcher – Submit an idea and get a list of similar YC companies
This project uses semantic search, an advanced search technique that aims to understand the intent and context behind a search query instead of just matching keywords.
It's built using Neon Postgres + pg_embedding and OpenAI for generating embeddings. More details can be found in the repo

- tikkun 3y agoIncluding the popup of how it works is neat! Edit: And I realize now it's also nice marketing - and I think it's tastefully done, too.
