I think web information access needs a new paradigm, that needs to make "search" itself irrelevant. Much like search replaced the taxonomy-based browsing (Yahoo/"Portals" of the 90s). I don't know what that is,

Great to see another ANN tool available. FAISS and SPTAG were good, but this appears to be much better. Not sure if this supports "online" learning i.e. is a training phase required?

This is a neat idea, I have had the same idea and been meaning to work on this for a while. Thanks for building this. Can you share the technical details behind this? Also, what is your business model? Freemium?
