I am working alone on https://tree-of-knowledge.org

This is a hierarchical representation of any given piece of knowledge.

It starts with a tree root node that you specify (let's say Kung fu), then it branches out into multiples subcategories (techniques, styles, philosophy, weaponry, ect...) and then you can click on these subcategories to branch out even more into the graphical tree.

This is all generated on-the-fly with Claude 3.5. There is no limit to what knowledge you might explore.

The killer feature is that it is totally free and does not require to login. Just click the link and have fun. I'll keep it free like that, as long as I can.

I hope you like it guys because it is the best project that I have up my sleeve.

Enjoy!,

Pierre

Looks nice. Tried to search for "Guitar" and I got a 500 Internal Server error.

I'm sorry guys but my API key is out of funds until tomorrow's or maybe tuesday's paycheck. I'm only a student and so my money is very limited. I'm sorry this is pathetic. I didn't expect to have so much trafic these last few days, and then with this thread. Come back soon!

What do you think that I implement BYOK (bring your own key), does that interest anyone so that it is never down for them but they have to pay Claude on the side? Is anyone interested?

Definitely implement BYOK - although people may be skeptical because it's not running locally

A side note - put on the site this exact message and then include your venmo or something - I bet you'll get donations :)

I've had this exact idea for quite some time, I'm glad that someone is making it!

Thanks. I'll implement it in a few hours/days.

I switched from Claude to GPT Mini and it seems to cost less. Wait & see!
