Starred! We've been looking to build something similar so I appreciate you sharing this here. The only other project that I've seen that's doing something close to this is this one: https://github.com/getbuff/Buff It's a bit more similar to the OPs bot (it's a Discord bit). Cool to see momentum in this space!
In Show HN: AskHN
This looks like it's just throwing your Search query directly into ChatGPT and sending you back the result. (Source code[0]) This is less intelligent than what Bing is doing with (presumably) scraping the pages and then generating embeddings to add "context" for your query. There isn't a "generic" project that I've seen that's doing this yet, but I could see somebody extending this plugin to scrape the first ~5 pages and then feed that into ChatGPT as the "context" for answering the question. We've been doing something similar with another Open Source project called Buff[1] but it requires scraping the data yourself before you can ask it questions. (We're scraping vulnerability/CVE data and putting it into the Vector database via OpenAI's embeddings API. You can play around with it on our Discord server linked from my profile.) Is anybody

Show HN: Open-source support bot for Discord

Many companies have a public Discord where people ask questions. Sometimes those questions are dumb and can be easily answered by reading the support documents. So we built a bot that does 3 things: 1. Uses FAISS to index public support documents provided as URLs 2. Monitors a Discord channel for questions, prefixed with !help 3. Responds to questions with its best guess of the right answer and cites its source document(s), using Data Augmented Generation from LangChain It won’t be right all of the time, but if people find it helpful we’ll make it better. Take a look at the repo and give us some suggestions of how to improve it, or put up a PR!
