Our core product is an analytics product that lives on people's website, so we're able to tell what are the main pages that people are reaching with LLMs

For our in-app AI visibility product we use that information for finding prompts at topics that are being used to reach those pages

For this public tool instead we do a best guess of what are reasonable queries companies would want to show up for and run them against Google and ChatGPT

Got it.

I've done this before using an LLM, but I mistakenly thought you had some magic source (magic sauce!) of actual LLM queries. Sometimes it's not the obvious stuff.


Hey there Ferruccio here, I worked on this launch for the past month since joining Amplitude

We built this tool because we’re seeing that LLMs are becoming the main way people compare brands when making buying decisions, even before visiting your site

I’d love to get feedback from the HN community on this.

If you want to skip the video explainer you can generate a report directly by typing in your brand here: https://amplitude.com/try-ai-visibility (no email required, it just takes 5 minutes to generate)


Looks really cool! Congrats on the launch


Really cool! I hope they'll roll out MCP support so that we can add support for it in our MCP app store (https://github.com/fleuristes/fleur)

Right now only code editors and Claude support MCPs, but we'd love to see more clients like Sidekick


One of the makers here - it was really fun to build this

While things seem to be still very early and each tool call needs to be manually approved in Claude, using these MCPs for some of our non developer friends was mind blowing

I think while it's still unclear what the winning way to build these integrations between apps and LLMs will be we need early experiments like this one for people to understand what's possible


This is so cool! I love to see people hacking together apps for the reMarkable tablet

I made a little app for reMarkable too and I shared it here some time back: https://digest.ferrucc.io/


It's so great seeing these, always make me want to play with developing apps for the Remarkable 2. Do you have any sources you can recommend? Thank you!

edit: found the official developer website https://developer.remarkable.com/documentation


https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-reMarkable is a great resource to get other resources, including getting onto the discord if you want some interactive conversations.


IMO the easiest way to play around is to use the reverse engineered APIs

Much appreciated :+1:


That’s awesome! Love seeing the reMarkable get more functionality through creative hacks. Just checked out your app—what was the biggest challenge you faced while developing for the reMarkable?


I think the thing I really didn't like was the lack of an OAuth like flow with fine-grained permissions

Basically authentication with devices is "all-access" or "no-access". I would've liked it if a "write-only" or "add-only" api permission scope existed


Blocked for AI reply @dang


Good catch, the last few pages of comment history are inhumanly insincere.

" @dang " isn't a thing, he doesn't watch for it - take credit and email him direct.


Do you have proof this is true?


I might be biased because memorydial was complimentary to me ... but they SEEM like a human! Also I'm not all that opposed to robot participation in the scheme of things. Especially if they are nice to me or give good ideas :)


Ha thanks for having my back! I genuinely love your project. I have been toying with get either a boox or a remarkable for ages.


Well you're human, you took the bait :-)

FWiW I mostly read HN at it's deadest time (I'm GMT+8 local time) and I see a lot of mechanical turk comments, especially from new (green coloured) accounts.

I always look for a response (eg: yours) before flagging them as spam bots . . .


Ha I guess when I stay up very late -8 overlaps with +8!


He has commented on this.

Retrieval is tricky as Algolia doesn't index '@' symbols:

Most people don't correctly use an em-dash differently than a hyphen. That jumps out to me. :)


This is awkward—I use em-dash all the time on HN! I'm not an LLM (as far as I know); I just like to write neatly when I'm able to, and it's very low friction when you're familiar with your keyboard compose sequences[0]. It's a trivial four keypresses,

    AltR(hold) - - -
(The discoverability of these functions is way too low, on GNOME/Linux; I really dislike the direction of modern UX, with its fake simplicity, and infantalization of users. Way more people would be using —'s and friends if they were easily discoverable and prominently hinted in their UX. "It's documented in x.org man pages" is an unacceptable state of affairs for a core GUI workflow).

never knew about the em dash thing, I was just using an AI writing assistant to help fix my shitty grammar and formatting. I think in future ill stick with bad formatting


no, just l–AI–zy copy-pasta. your book looks great! putting on your chat with lex now.


no, just lazily and stupidly used an AI writing assistant


Me too! :)


XCode is so bad - Makes me not want to build iOS apps. If Apple swallowed some of their pride and just focused on providing a great developer experience via extensions for the editors people already use like VS Code and Vim IMO every developer would be thankful


It's a walled garden. They think they are making you a big favour of even allowing you inside of their garden / prison. Take it or leave it. Or support Open Source instead.


I love the direction, especially including s3 and Postgres support natively - it makes a ton of sense for this to exist as an alternative to the “build your own framework” status quo

This is the standard in every web framework like Rails and Laravel, and the JS ecosystem will really benefit from this. The next steps are migration and schema management and a better out of the box testing story (w/ nice way to setup factories)


Love to hear that :)


That's super cool! Your product reminds me of https://mailbrew.com/ which I used for a couple of years

> Wonder if you'd be willing to add email support?

I might add support for Kindle/Supernote and send a PDF by email to them, but I wouldn't really want to turn this thing into a business. I already build another SaaS for a living and just don't have enough energy to dedicate to this
