Hi, this is still and early project but now with uploads, good UI and some extensions.
2 points · Open discussionIve seen a few similar projects in the last few weeks.
https://github.com/arc53/DocsGPT has been here on the frontpage just a month ago.
And some other similar ones, but it good to see projects that will take a OSS approach, they are a few.
In Launch HN: Sidekick (YC W23) – AI support bot for developersOpenai has documentation and guides in their blog about how to interface with the GPT API. But in this case, you can also look directly at the source code published here.

In Show HN: DocsGPT, open-source documentation assistant, fully aware of librariesSeeing https://github.com/arc53/docsgpt/blob/main/application/combi... is just fascinating to me. It's absolutely where this all is headed, but to see it as source code evokes something in me.

https://github.com/arc53/docsgpt/blob/main/scripts/ingest_rs...
This is the prompt that is used:
https://github.com/arc53/docsgpt/blob/main/application/combi...
And this is where it calls the openai. Looks pretty straightforward.
