Hey there, fellow developers! This is Fazle, co-founder, Hashnode. Our mission has always been to provide developers with easy access to quality content. We're now taking it a step further with Rix (https://rix.chat/), an AI companion designed specifically for developers. With Rix, we aim to combine an AI search companion, a chatbot, and a pair programmer into one powerful super app. What Rix brings to your desk right now: Rix comes packed with various modes tailored to fit different scenarios: 1. Web Search Mode: This mode ensures the information you get is never outdated. It scans the web for the latest content and provides answers to your queries. 2. Quick Mode: When you need information fast, Quick Mode comes to your rescue. It's the go-to mode when speed is of the essence. It uses the pre-trained knowledge to answer user queries. 3. URL Summaries: This unique mode lets you have a meaningful conversation with a URL(for example, a GitHub Gist). Paste the link, and let Rix help you understand the content better. 4. Code Writer: Think of it as your AI-driven coding partner or pair programmer, ready to understand your requirements and churn out functional code. Quick demo: We've also launched a Chrome extension that allows Rix to be just a tab away. How we built Rix: 1. For Web Search Mode and Code Writer mode: we’re using Bing search API and `claude-instant-v1-100k` to process information. 2. For Quick Mode, and URL Summaries: we’re using Claude 1. 3. For Code Writer, we use the latest Claude 2 (if you are signed in), and Claude 1, if you are signed out. Why did we choose the name “Rix”? We aimed for a short, simple, and memorable name that had a tech product vibe. "Rix" doesn't have any specific meaning; it's a created name chosen for its brevity and uniqueness. :) Our upcoming plans for Rix: We’re just getting started. Soon, Rix will be available on VS Code, so you can enjoy its benefits without having to switch from your favorite code editor. We have a host of exciting updates and improvements planned for the future. While Rix can be used by any user, it has been specifically tuned to respond effectively to developer-related queries. We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback as we continue to enhance and refine Rix. Do give it a try at https://rix.chat/ and share your experiences. Your insights would be invaluable as we try to make Rix a tool that every developer can rely on!

Can it summaries issue threads on GitHub?

Congrats! What is the rationale behind choosing Claude 1/2 over other LLMs?

Congratulations on the launch!

Congrats! Looks useful, I'll check this out.

Conratulations on your launch🔥, Rix Chat and team.

Congratulations 🎊

I have been using it to help me to create tutorials faster and works like my pair programmer. Fantastic product.

Does Rix plan to offer a SaaS product where it sits as a layer on top of a company's developer docs?

The ability to create and customize chatbots is a standout feature, as it allows users to personalize their interactions and add a touch of creativity to their conversations. This can make conversations with friends, family, or colleagues more engaging and enjoyable.

Impressive! Check my site wikigpt3.com and email me your app details and I can help get your app listed on my directory and other 100+ AI directories. Feel free to reply if you want to know more. .

This is an incredible tool for developers! Rix.chat's AI-powered search engine provides quick and accurate coding knowledge, along with URL summaries and AI-driven pair programming. Such a game-changer for productivity!

seems like a knowledge base + intern(a very smart intern) for developers quick question, does it read the developer doc from other apps?

Congrats, looks super helpful

Congrats Syed & team on your launch!

congrats on the launch! this looks really useful, would it be cool if I featured Rix on Astral? :)

Just tested it and this thing rocks!!! Great job

Great job!! It looks like a brilliant tool for young developers to get the most accurate and up-to-date coding knowledge. Definitely going to try it:)
