Show HN: Build a discord/Slack bot to answer questions with your
docs and GPT4
It works on top of the open-source workflow engine windmill [1]
that you can easily self-host on a tiny server or a large k8s
cluster. You will also need pgvector (here hosted on supabase) and
of course a GPT4 api key. It showcases an approval step so that
you only provide answers you are confident giving to your users,
which feels less robotic. All the building blocks are scripts that
you can reuse outside of windmill and you could build this in any
other workflow engines (although less conveniently). We use it for
our own needs on discord [2] and thoughts this was a common need
for any product having community support on slack or discord. [1]:

| We are starting a series cheekily called "Replace a SaaS" with
| this one as the first one.
|
| There is a trade-off between build and buy and we aim to reduce
| the chiasm so you don't end up with a billion generic SaaS
| subscriptions and with a bit of code build truly tailored
| solutions.

| Would you be interested in trying out?

| Pretty neat we did almost the same thing with SharePoint and

| I was just watching some of the Windmill videos (they're cool!)

| code.

| Selfishly, I wish there was a water cooler where those of us
