Show HN: I was curious about spherical helix, ended up making this visualization (visualrambling.space)

Am I the only one ? I'm building an AI agent that automates that away from me. Like reading the tech feeds, and at some pint plugged as RAG into my projects, surfaces cool and insightful data from tech feeds that interests me.

I'm quite privacy-sensitive, so I'm trying to make it fully local (using local LLMs).

Does anyone feel the same pain point as I do, and would such a solution be of any interest ?

Thanks a lot for any feedback

Cheers

Hey man, this problem i have never seen before.I think that you just....carry on it.'Cause i think that this is quite-privacy and you don't need to do anythings Cheers, Duc Duy

I've read posts online complaining about the same thing. I just don't know how widespread is it ?

Privacy-wise, I wanna use the rise of high-end local LLMs (gemma 270M, HRM, LFM2, etc.) to make it viable fully locally.

I also want it to be highly customizable, so other techy people can plug their favorite models, tinker with system prompts, fine-tune the model to their own projects, etc.

I had the same issue, and moved to kagi.

Yes, for privacy you still have to trust them, but it really solved several needs I had, and I save so much time.

Is kagi not a search engine ? How do you surface important things from newsletters using it ?

yes, you are sure right, but you also have the 'summarizer' what I use a lot: I open a link I receive and have it summarized with one click in a pop up when I need it.

then, in general, when I want more info I do the search myself with it: and it has become again something pretty interesting.
