Show HN: Sync – A real-time company brain

[friendly_chap]

Hi folks,

We are soft-launching our new AI product. For the time being it is proprietary, but who knows ; ). I have a habit of impulsively open-sourcing things.

At the moment we target/accept clients from traditional industries where things are quite a bit more chaotic than most offices.

Cheers Janos

How does it work?

[friendly_chap]

Hey! At the moment we don't release much about the inner workings but that stance might change soon as we have a habit of going from closed -> open pretty quickly ;).

Sorry if this sounds harsh. I'm sure you've all done a lot of great work. I'm only saying why some kind of operational knowledge is important to me. I don't buy into a product without some mental model how it works because it's otherwise hard to tell if it's worthwhile. Or if the entire value is based on something that's easily replicated, then I may as wait for those competitors that compete on execution, ease of use, etc rather than a promise.

I braced myself for actual harsh critique there but that was rather mild! Phew.

> Or if the entire value is based on something that's easily replicated

Not THAT easily replicated but given how well funded our competitors are and we are bootstrapped I would prefer to wait until most startups participating in this wave burn through their funds instead of publishing relatively novel but not overly expensive to replicate twists.

We'll come up with better explanations of how the thing works without hinting at technical difficulties we faced and their solutions.

The rightful point was made, thank you. You were not harsh at all.
