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 Web Search Mode: This mode ensures the information you get is never outdated.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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofKJ2zauYxw 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!
