   Nice work with the write up and thank you for sharing this. The post is interesting, but I think the problem with the YCRank approach currently is that the labelling appears to be subjective opinion, at least if I understand correctly. Base

   Thank you! You're spot on there :)

   In our case it was friendly parties. But the YC validation made it straightforward, and I think would help anyone raising before the batch. We were an early admit so we're an unusual situation that way. And thank you. You're right

   Thank you! There is still a LOT of work to do on the spam front but it's a good start especially in areas like programming. Much more coming on this front soon :)

   That's interesting! Yes we don't use geo-coords for privacy so it is based on the common name of the nearest town or city, but it's clearly misunderstood here and something went wrong. It might be better to switch to using th

   Thank you! So it's actually something we're still figuring out. The first few characters there is a pre-processor to look for some commands or vertical search (not really fully implemented yet). For question-answering we're l

   Thank you, it's probably above our pay grade right now :) For shorter options in the meantime, you can also use a few others and they'll work: https://andi.co https://goandi.com https://andi.so

    Thank you! We don't have a browser extension yet. You probably noticed we don't really give much help for installing the web app as a PWA or setting it as a default search. We're receiving a lot of feedback asking us to prior

    Hey thank you. That's a great suggestion! A few other folks have also sent feedback suggesting it, and it is a good way to handle it. We have lots of work to do on the UX and working on that now. Thank you and thanks for trying out And

    Thank you! This made me really happy! We're trying to include more good sources that don't show up well in traditional search, and there's a lot more to do here. But for some types of technical searches it is already doing we

    Thank you! With questions it generally does pretty well with factually oriented or specific questions, but it will try with subjective topics to provide a summary of the "hive mind consensus" or zeitgeist of the top results. When

    Thanks for trying out Andi. It would be great to find out more about this, as I can't reproduce that result with any keyword combination I try. The "deep answers" feature generally doesn't get invoked on unsafe or contro

    Thanks for trying out Andi and sorry about the error. We've had a couple reports of the Blue Screen of Death. I really appreciate you including the stack trace! We don't log searches so we rely on reports from users when things go

    Thanks heaps for trying it out and the feedback. Speed with Andi is a really interesting consideration, because it takes such a different approach. You'll notice there is a lot of variation. Basically, web search is fast, question answ

    Thanks Colin! The approach we use does better the more different sources we ingest, so we would love to include results from Mojeek (and some of the great specialized searches appearing). Will reach out to you and thanks for that.

    by jedwhite 5y ago

    This is really awesome! I love that you're curating the sites included, and it shows in the quality of the results. The world needs more specialized searches like this, and you've done a brilliant job with implementation. I also r

    It was going well until the last step so that's clearly a bug! From looking quickly, it should have said "go radar chat", and I'll fix that up. "go radar chat" does the right thing and navigates directly. Sorry

    We're in the current W22 batch with Andi. We raised a small amount of funding after getting accepted to YC but before the batch started. I would guess that is a non-trivial percent of the "raised money before YC". I think it&

    Yes, in this case it's not so much specialized indexes as topic-focused models and API handlers/brokers for different domains of knowledge. Although there are some areas where we're looking at building some more traditional l

    Hey thank you! Yes users are split 50/50 on the chat user interface, and we've got some thoughts on how to accommodate both camps. We already have different views for results (new visual style or like google), and we can extend th

    Thanks very much for trying it out and taking the time to give us feedback. We don't log searches, so we rely on talking with our user community to understand when searches do well or poorly. We'd love to know what your searches w

    Thank you for trying out the search and your encouragement. I'd never read about keyboard tilt before. Out of curiosity I asked Andi "why does positive keyboard tilt put strain on your wrists?" and it answered "The reaso

    It crashed for me too. Thanks for letting us know, and onto fixing that now also. Lots of new bug cards today. The New Blue Screen of Death (NBSOD) is a real thing :)

    by jedwhite 5y ago

    Ah, that's a straight out bug. Let me fix that quickly! To save time, some commands better handled locally get looked up on the client (we do that for a few really common questions, commands etc). So it shouldn't even go to NLP in

    Thanks so much for trying out Andi! Thought I'd mention that we also make it easy to search sites directly and show the results in Andi, as well as directly jumping to the results on an external site like reddit. You can just say &quot

    Thank you for the helpful feedback and suggestions on the UI. That's something we're working to improve. Quick question: had you used Andi before? We actually cut all the intro text completely before the post yesterday. So I'

    by jedwhite 5y ago

    Yes, with the semantic-style search Andi does best finding answers when it has specific questions with enough detail. That will increase the confidence that the result is factually correct. Better questions = much better answers So specific

    Hashing the URL is a brilliant idea. Thank you for that suggestion. I'd been thinking about how to do it in a privacy-safe way and of course that's a great solution. We can probably get it so you can navigate back and forward thro
