   Bad work

   Chatbase Evaluation: Definitely, after many hours of uploading documents that I have been refining, it continues to respond with absurd or incorrect answers, and sometimes even claims to have no information when it had answered correctly just 10 minutes before. A significant waste of time and money.

• Show HN: Put ChatGPT on any website in 5 seconds. No signup required

  Congrats on the launch. How is it different from - https://chatbase.co/ https://sitegpt.ai/. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• ChatGPT trending down hard in a lot of places (although not in India)

  More and more people won’t use the base product directly, but downstream products such as https://chatbase.co, Microsoft Copilot integrated in all office applications, upcoming robots such as OpenAI Neo, etc. Source: about 3 years ago

• Paid AI to train on company docs?

  Chatbase.co is a good one. You can upload any text related file or pdf. Pretty user friendly and there's a lifetime deal on appsumo right now. Source: about 3 years ago

• Upload multiple pdfs and ask questions about these pdfs

  I know there are several services out there such as chatbase.co (https://www.chatbase.co/) What service do you use? Source: about 3 years ago

• What GPT/AI apps do you actually use? I'll share my favorites

  Chatbase.co is a web app where you can embed pdf-s and then ask anything about it. It's an awesome tool to create questions for my college lecture notes and find answers in lengthy documents to easy questions (e.g.: How many times can I take an exam for free?). There is a free version which is enough most of the time for these kinds of use cases. Source: about 3 years ago

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026)

  Data extraction: https://simplescraper.io A project that I launched on HN that became a business. Simplescraper rode the no-code wave of a few years back ('instant structured data without parsing html'). Now working on increasing the surface area for AI agents: MCP support, screenshots API, and (experimentally) x402^ ^ https://simplescraper.io/blog/x402-payment-protocol/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Scraperr – A Self Hosted Webscraper

  1. Clicking the box programmatically – possible but inconsistent 2. Outsourcing the task to one of the many CAPTCHA-solving services (2Captcha etc) – better 3. Using a pool of reliable IP addresses so you don't encounter checkboxes or turnstiles – best I run a web scraping startup (https://simplescraper.io) and this is usually the approach. It has become more difficult, and I think a lot of the AI crawlers are... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (October 2024)

  Making my data extraction Saas (https://simplescraper.io) more LLM friendly. Markdown extraction, improved Google search, workflows - search for this terms, visit the first N links, summarize etc. Big demand for (or rather, expectation of) this lately. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• The Architecture Behind a One-Person Tech Startup

  Things are much easier for one-person startups these days—it's a gift. I remember building a todo app as my first SaaS project, and choosing something called Stormpath for authentication. It subsequently shut down, forcing me to do a last-minute migration from a hostel in Japan using Nitrous Cloud IDE (which also shut down). Just pain upon pain.[1] Now, you can just pick a full-stack cloud service and run with it.... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
