Super confusing signup flow. I paid, but didn't get access? hajrice@gmail.com


We've built something like this at Helpjuice.com - we call it Swifty AI Chatbot. It's pretty cool to see companies that are building a completely open platform that works with all. Nice work folks!

Upvoted – looking forward to supporting you guys more


It's not a good look to piggyback off competitors' launches like this. Let them have their moment.


From what I could gather, they're also shifting the responsibility of due diligence from a government to a company ?


The keyword there is responsibility. It's a reasonable approach - taking some workload off government immigration bodies to speed up the process, and it saves the taxpayer money because the costs of background checks would fall on the company doing the recruiting.

Companies recruiting foreign talent would likely need to register on this programme and will have to do their due diligence when recruiting - perhaps subject to fines or prosecutions if they fail to do proper checks. I can't say for sure as I can't read the proposal.


How does it compare to Algolia?


The short answer is: we're better at recommendations and personalization and lean towards more technical teams (e.g. even with data/ML experience). They're better at traditional search and, these days, lean towards less technical teams.

Longer answer is in our blog post about it: https://www.shaped.ai/blog/shaped-vs-algolia-recommend :)


Cool! Any live demos we can try?


Yes play.shaped.ai! We just opened that up in a gateless way for this post. Let me know what you think. I should also mention that these demo models are on our cold-tier so that it doesn't break things, in production there's a big speed up.


Just tried your product. It's brilliant. 10/10. Super easy to understand – just wish your explainer video actually used the product instead of being those cheap caricature videos :-)


Appreciate it!

We wanted the video to explain the concept moreso when we started b/c that's what users seemed to have trouble understanding

But perhaps we need to update it as this has become more common

If you ever want a demo just book on the site with me!


Very common that the children don't wish to run the family business – I always wondered why. Wonder how much things would have turned out differently had the Dad introduced the company to his son at a young age and "groomed" him to be the future leader of the organization.


interacting with parents as an adult is weird, you're expected to be perpetually deferential to them simply because you started your relationship that way. (perhaps even more so in asian cultures like mine and the author's). I'm not surprised that people would rather not have even their work lives pushed into that framework.


it's a luxury that modern life affords us. Traditionally boys would go into what their father has done, as he did his father and his father before him. It’s only relatively recently that society affords children an opportunity to branch out from the circumstances of our birth. The idea of royal succession seems less weird when the rest of the whole world is also organized that way


there's also wizardshot.com, which is free


Should've expected this from Hacker News. Not sure why it never crossed our mind to do markdown. For now, only HTML, DOC, PDF and Helpjuice knowledge base


Lovely guide


Great landing page - got what you do in less than 5 seconds. You just gotta work on figuring out distribution.


Thanks
