Replacing $100B in marketing SaaS + services with AI that never sleeps @surfacelabs_ai | Prev built privacy @opaquesys @berkeley_eecs @calblockchain 🐻
We've raised $6.5M to kill vector databases. Every system today retrieves context the same way: vector search that stores everything as flat embeddings and returns whatever "feels" closest. Similar, sure. Relevant? Almost never. Embeddings can’t tell a Q3 renewal clause from a Q1 termination notice if the language is close enough. A friend of mine asked his AI about a contract last week, and it returned a detailed, perfectly crafted answer pulled from a completely different client’s file. Once you’re dealing with 10M+ documents, these mix-ups happen all the time. VectorDB accuracy goes to shit. We built @hydra_db for exactly this. HydraDB builds an ontology-first context graph over your data, maps relationships between entities, understands the 'why' behind documents, and tracks how information evolves over time. So when you ask about 'Apple,' it knows you mean the company you're serving as a customer. Not the fruit. Even when a vector DB's similarity score says 0.94. More below ⬇️
Excited to announce that @EntelligenceAI has raised $5M to redefine how engineering teams ship! Today AI writes code faster than ever. But shipping quality products as a team? That's still a challenge. Launching Ask Ellie. An AI agent that triages questions across posthog, sentry, linear, github and more to answer anything about performance, ownership, blockers, and more without jumping between tools. Ellie also beats benchmarks against other code reviewers in catching real issues while also preventing security issues and keeping docs current. Round led Mayfield and Correlation Ventures with support from Embedding VC, DGVentures and an incredible group of leaders from GitLab, Nvidia, Auth0, Zapier, Cisco, Calm, and more!
Aiden - you clearly have no idea about what you are talking about. We have more users than everyone you just mentioned (combined). See aitooltracker.dev Still, I am curious how we can make it simpler and fool proof for indie developers. Maybe simpler controls and a lot of handholding can help.
