To be fair I learned from a friend but that was pre-firecrawl having access to this in Alexandria. 😆

A lot of recruiting search problems aren't really search problems. They're data problems. I recently saw a company sitting on millions of candidates, but only around 2% were usable because the rest had too many gaps. You can't rank or reach people you know nothing about.

This has been one of my big grips in search. Everyone markets "ai search" which is really just vector search. Relevan is building a new category. Our search engine detects failing searches, tests changes, and rolls new relevance features out without user interaction.
Hot take for spooky season: "AI Search" for most companies means "we added embeddings" Embeddings don't learn from clicks. They don't test ranking changes. They don't get better next week. Same label. Different machine. 🎃

Its what search if it was built by Datadog. Just put your data in and it's useable right away.

Well, almost completely. The one thing that leaves my setup is data access through @firecrawl. Their new Alexandria release gives agents and AI assistants direct access to data sources they'd otherwise have to awkwardly scrape.

The hardware split: the heavy models run on a DGX Spark behind her, and she's rendered on a Raspberry Pi, which also acts as the orchestrator. She's still a work in progress, but it's wild what one person can build in a week now. More to come. 👀

Yet another reminder that we're living in the future. This past week I built Haru, an AI assistant (inspired by Project Airi) to help keep my life organized. And she runs completely local. 🧵

Relevan's been burning rubber to build actual AI search. In just one month shipping over 100 features in platform stability, relevance, and agentic enablement. The best part? Multi lingual is in our v0. Relevance should be accessible in every language.

So we asked Jev if you should use Relevan for agentic search and the answer was 🔥 Being real though we tested out Jev to see if it could replace some parts of our relevance engine and were pleasantly surprised. It managed to be 100% accurate with our eval set.

SGPG just had it's 2x release. It lets you use Signal as a transport mechanism to send gpg encrypted messages to your friends. That way if your device is ever compromised your messages still stay secure. Check it out with `uv tool install sgpg`
