Been waiting for this day for too long! Welcome back

That’s not something I’d be putting forward either, anywhere. In my opinion, it’s just a way for them to be putting forward their “value,” which actually feels dishonorable.

hey that's pretty cool

Are you using insanely-fast-whisper?

Would be happy to contribute if it were open-source (been working in the field, with meeting bots, since 4 years)

I really like you retrofit analogy - not sure if you coined it or geohot has.

It seems to me that's where a ton of start-ups are currently converging - not repairing the old, which would be too complicated, but understanding and "mending" for new usages, or functionalities.

[nuwandavek → Erazal]

Thanks! Not sure, I think the term has been in the ether for a while.

Yeah, I see that too. I think for the longest time there was no leverage in doing this sort of retrofitting (except for grammarly type of use cases). But with better intent capture (llms help here), we can actually fix up any existing gaps!

[Erazal → nuwandavek]

A Grammarly-style retrofit would’ve actually been appropriate here—I made a syntax error.

If you don’t mind, I’ll be stealing and using that analogy!

We were talking about that approach today with a friend who unifies parking apps across the country. He calls his engine UMM—Ultimate Macro Machine.

I’m working in the “classic” generic browser-automation agents with a unified API for meeting bots (transcription, voice input, etc.).

[nuwandavek → Erazal]

Haha, the analogy is totally yours to use :) Nice, yeah, there is a lot of leverage in building agent-like hooks into current workflows. Even if the agents are pretty mid right now (they are for any complex use case that needs long horizon planning), it's a great place to be in time for the next generation models to drop!

I'm not as much surprised by the capabilities of new model (IMHO same as GPT-4) as by it's real time capabilities.

My brother who can't see correctly, will use this to cook a meal without me explaining this to him it's so cool.

People all around the world will now get real-time AI assistance for a ton of queries.

Heck - I have a meeting bot API company (https://aimeetingbot.com) and that makes me really hyped!

have never found it powerful enough - or I'm just setting too high a bar?

I have a ton of databases on Notion (with all my teams conversation transcripts, meeting to-dos, etc.) and global AI search just isn't there.

I haven't found a way there (but have elsewhere using open source) to create a kick-ass search.

This is where having our own LLMs and stacks running locally will save and empower us IMHO

hadn't seen your repo yet [1] - adding it to my list right now.

Your blog post is really neat on top - thanks for sharing

oh damn, I'm using gitbook too actually - for our users [1]. Not open-source but will definitely try it out ASAP.
