Show HN: Build Live AI and RAG Pipelines in Minutes with YAML Templates

Hello everyone! I am Jan, CTO and one of the creators of Pathway, the real-time data processing framework. I’m excited to share Pathway’s ready-to-use AI Pipelines, configurable with just YAML! These frameworks offer out-of-the-box solutions for AI search, RAG, and more—optimized for real-time indexing and in-memory processing. What makes it simple? YAML templates! The pipeline templates are fully customizable using YAMLs to fit your needs, from changing the data sources to the choice of the LLM model, all without touching Pathway’s Python code. Thanks to the Pathway data processing engine, these pipelines are optimized for real-time, updating the pipeline by ingesting the data as it arrives. Why it matters: * YAML templates: that’s it, no Python code required. * Full customization: Configure everything, from LLM models and indexes to tok

enizers and retrieval strategies. * Real-time data sync: Connect to data sources like Google Drive, SharePoint, and more, with pipelines automatically updating to reflect all additions, deletions, and changes in real-time. * Powerful search capabilities: Internal in-memory indexing supports vector, hybrid, and full-text search. The indexing is automatically maintained as data sources update in real-time. * Deploy in minutes: Quickly deploy on-premises or on cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure. * It's open: don't hesitate to contribute!

Sure: when a new response is produced because some source documents have changed we ask an LLM to compare the responses and tell if they are significantly different. Even a simplistic prompt, like the one used in the example would do: Are the two following responses deviating? Answer with Yes or No. First response: "{old}" Second response: "{new}" (used in https://github.com/pathwaycom/llm-app/blob/69709a2cf58cdf6ea...)

Show HN: Alerting in realtime RAG: spot changes to LLM answers, using few tokens

Hi I am Jan, CTO @ Pathway. A use case we have been working on with LLMs is to let people know when an answer to their query changes due to revisions of source documents. Obviously, we want to avoid periodically re-computing all queries for the LLM. Why I think it’s cool? - We don’t spin in a loop to repeat with the LLM. - Alerts are LLM-deduplicated - no spamming users with typo fixes - And the best - our framework, Pathway takes care of handling the updates, the example looks nearly like a regular, static RAG chatbot. More context + GIF of how it works for Google Drive document alerts: https://pathway.com/developers/showcases/llm-alert-pathway Happy to have your thoughts!

Show HN: LLM App – build a realtime LLM app in 30 lines, with no vector database

Hi HN, I am Jan, CTO and co-founder of Pathway.com. We’ve built a LLM microservice that answers questions about a corpus of documents, while automatically reacting to additions of new docs. The single, self-contained service fully replaces a complex multi-system pipeline that scans in real-time for new documents, indexes them into a specialized database and queries it to generate answers. Everyone can have their own real-time vector now. Github: https://github.com/pathwaycom/llm-app Demo video: https://youtu.be/kcrJSk00duw I am eager to hear your thoughts and comments!
