Ask HN: What are you working on? (February 2025)

I have been working full-time for about 15 months on a product to store real-world entity-relations in a graph (using AI/ML for extraction). The idea is to extract entities and relations deterministically from text (using AI/ML for clues about type and position of entities in text).

It is very much a work in progress with lots of commented out code which are just experiments.

Nice project! I built something extremely similar with a friend in 2022! Back when we only had the GPT-3 API. I built an ontological graph and relation extractor, mental model analysis engine, bunch of stuff, on top of an Elastic DB being filled with live incoming ephemeral data across the web, including messages, comments, posts, articles and more.

I would really love for you to reach out via the email in my bio so we can talk ontology!

hey Sumit!

Great seeing you here on and good luck!

This sounds lovely. This product has not reached to the point where ontology matters, that is still far away.

I am just going for the low hanging fruits - very basic stuff like location, person, event, activity, date (a few more things) and relations between them. One of the limitations is that I want to do deterministic extraction with suggestions from AI/ML, so there is much code to be written. I will email you, thanks a lot!

Hey you, sorry I could not guess you from your username. Thanks a lot.
