Week 3 of YC. We just made semantic search serverless. Until now, semantic search meant embedding every document, every row and every chunk up front, and paying for it before anyone ran a single search. We flipped that. With Polygres (YC F26) you connect your data, choose what's searchable,...

@polygres @daltonmeon @damienhe @ycombinator @fdotinc Serverless semantic search: finally, the database bills you only when someone actually asks a question.

Peter Orban's profile picture

Hi Dale! I think flipping semantic search so you pay for tokens only when someone actually searches is the part that changes the economics for sparse corpora. In my opinion, matching embedding-model recall without a neural ingestion pass is the claim that will get stress tested first on messy tables. Where does recall drop first in your internal benchmarks, short fields or long documents?

@polygres @daltonmeon @damienhe @ycombinator @fdotinc looks solid, serverless semantic search could cut costs a lot. how does latency compare on bigger datasets?

@polygres @daltonmeon @damienhe @ycombinator @fdotinc This is awesome, Dale. I’ve already seen Polygres retrieve my past posts, project notes, and visual concepts by meaning. Then help my AI agent connect them into something new. Making that experience serverless, and usage based lowers a huge barrier for builders like me. 🧠

@polygres @daltonmeon @damienhe @ycombinator @fdotinc without embedding anything up front, what does the model actually read when a search comes? If it goes through every row each time, does latency and token cost grow with table size, or is there some cheap index narrowing it down first?

@polygres @daltonmeon @damienhe @ycombinator @fdotinc would love to benchmark this on real world tasks in comparison to our hyrid rag solution! if you arent embedding it upfront based on what are you searching then?

@polygres @daltonmeon @damienhe @ycombinator @fdotinc the flip is real, with one inversion: embeddings paid once amortize across every future query, while query-time pays full price on the thousandth search too. right for cold corpora, wrong for the docs your agents hit all day. those queries should materialize, not recompute.

I just built an AI-powered creative search engine with Gemini Embedding 2 + Claude Code 🤯 Drop in your UGC clips, product shots, and ad variations — then search through everything in plain English. "Show me all the unboxing clips." "Find product shots with natural lighting." "Which creator talked about sensitive skin?" All inside Claude Code. Perfect for DTC brands and agencies sitting on hundreds of creative files they can never find when they actually need them. If you're digging through a folder of random file names, scrubbing through raw footage to find that one clip, and relying on memory to track down what's already been shot... This system eliminates the entire loop: → Drop your videos, images, and docs into a project folder → One prompt to Claude Code — it builds the entire search app for you → Google's new Gemini Embedding 2 model actually watches your videos and looks at your images → It understands what's inside each file — not just the file name → Search in plain English and get back the actual assets with confidence scores No scrolling through folders. No relying on file names to find anything. No re-shooting footage you already have. What you get: → A searchable library of every creative asset your brand has ever produced → Natural language search across video, images, and documents at the same time → Results that show the actual files inline — play videos, view images, read docs → A system that gets smarter every time you add richer descriptions to your assets One free API key. No monthly subscriptions. Runs on your machine. I put together a full playbook with the exact build prompt, the setup process, and DTC/agency use cases to get this running in under 30 minutes.

J-Cal Explains Why Google is UNDERRATED in AI 👀 On E227, the besties discussed Google's value in a post-search world if AI replaces traditional search. @jason broke down why he thinks Google is being slept on: "I think there's a chance that we're underestimating the power of Google's ad network right now." "They have four or five products that are one or two billion users per month. You have YouTube, Google Docs, Android." "They have such a data advantage and such a deep integration into people's lives because they use three or four services, I think Google's gonna figure this out." "It's quite possible that knowing your queries in Gemini, knowing what you're doing in Calendar, knowing what you're watching on YouTube could lead to a stream of more targeted ads that do better and are more valuable." "We've been seeing a number of startups that are figuring out how to use your queries and what you're doing in AI to present to you search results." "So imagine you're doing a Gemini search and on the side of it, it's giving you a rolling list of ads or offers that you might be more interested in." "That could be a better advertising product than even search itself." "I think YouTube search is the place to go all-in." "Right now, when you do a YouTube search, it just gives you 10 links, right? It just gives you that rolling thing." "You should be able to ask a question to YouTube, and you should be able to ask questions to your calendar." "You should be able to say, who have I met with over the last 10 years? Who I'm no longer in touch with and what are they up to?" "And it should do a Gemini search inside of Google Calendar. It's very light right now." "And then if you did that on YouTube, this would train people at the point of pain in a very deep way without sacrificing Google Search queries too aggressively."

Introducing Sharpe Search: On-Chain Search AI Agent Powered by Hive Intelligence We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Sharpe Search, a crypto search AI agent powered by Hive Intelligence Designed to simplify blockchain data interaction, Sharpe Search represents a significant step toward making crypto more accessible and actionable for users at every level. Sharpe Search leverages Hive Intelligence’s advanced search API to provide real-time, actionable insights across the blockchain ecosystem. Here’s a detailed look at what Sharpe Search is, how it works: What Is Sharpe Search? At its core, Sharpe Search is an AI agent purpose-built for querying and analyzing on-chain data. It takes the complexity out of blockchain exploration by enabling users to ask questions in plain language and receive detailed, accurate responses. Whether you’re looking to monitor wallet activity, track portfolio positions, or analyze transaction history, Sharpe Search ensures that the answers are at your fingertips—accurate, comprehensive, and delivered instantly. How Does Sharpe Search Work? Sharpe Search is powered by Hive Intelligence, a search engine API designed to make blockchain data easily accessible and AI-ready. Here’s a breakdown of how it enables Sharpe Search to function effectively: 1. LLM-Optimized Query Processing Sharpe Search leverages Hive Intelligence's optimized responses for large language models. This ensures that AI agents can process blockchain data in a structured format, delivering precise answers to complex user queries. 2. Natural Language Interaction Forget the need for technical knowledge. Sharpe Search supports natural language queries, making it as simple as typing: - “What tokens are in my wallet? Am I eligible for any airdrop I haven't claimed yet?” - “Check me my last 100 transactions, tell me if I interacted with any protocol with recent hacks” - “Track my wallet activity over the past month, suggest optimised portfolio based on best stable yields available” 3. Real-Time Insights Across Multi-Chains Using Hive Intelligence, Sharpe Search connects to over 20 chains and 5000+ Protocols. This real-time access ensures that the AI agent provides up-to-date and actionable insights, no matter how dynamic the blockchain environment. 4. Unified API Access Sharpe Search consolidates fragmented blockchain data through Hive’s unified API. Instead of dealing with multiple integrations, Sharpe Search uses a single access point to aggregate and query data, reducing complexity for both users and developers. Technical Depth: The AI Agent Advantage Sharpe Search's design philosophy revolves around the principle of creating an intuitive, AI-driven experience. Here’s what makes its technology stand out: Data Indexing and Aggregation: Hive Intelligence employs advanced indexing algorithms to aggregate data from multiple chains. This ensures that Sharpe Search can retrieve information within milliseconds, even when querying vast datasets. Dynamic Updates: Blockchain data is volatile. Sharpe Search processes dynamic updates in real time, enabling users to act on the most recent metrics, transactions, and balances without delays. Contextual Understanding: The AI agent parses natural language queries and contextualizes them to blockchain-specific scenarios. For instance, when querying “Show portfolio details,” Sharpe Search understands the underlying requirements—fetching wallet holdings, token values, and current positions. Hive Intelligence: The Backbone of Sharpe Search While Sharpe Search takes center stage, Hive Intelligence provides the critical infrastructure to make it all possible. Its LLM-ready responses and multi-chain support ensure that Sharpe Search operates at the forefront of blockchain data accessibility. By launching Hive Intelligence through Sharpe Launchpad, Sharpe reinforces its commitment to supporting innovation in the blockchain space. Hive’s infrastructure not only powers Sharpe Search but also lays the groundwork for future AI agents to thrive in the ecosystem. What’s Next for Sharpe Search? Currently in invite-only access, Sharpe Search is preparing for a broader public release. Future updates will include: - Expanded Blockchain Coverage: More chains and protocols will be added. - Enhanced Query Flexibility: Even more advanced natural language capabilities. Stay tuned for the public launch and get ready to explore crypto like never before!
