{"id":78445,"title":"🧠 Quivr: Open source, chat-powered second brain with 28k+ ⭐","tagline":"We help enterprises build chat assistants connected to their data.","body":"Hey guys! [Stan Girard](https://linkedin.com/in/stanislas-girard), [Brian Laleye](https://linkedin.com/in/brian-laleye-31433386), and [Antoine Dewez](https://linkedin.com/in/antoine-dewez-367774157) here — best friends for 20+ years, GenAI geeks, and co-founders building [Quivr](https://www.quivr.app/)!\n\n**TL;DR:** **Quivr** is an **open source RAG framework with 28k+ Github 🌟**, connected to company data. For example, companies use us to deploy an HR chatbot for their employees.\n\n\u003chttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvNYWiXvkds\u003e\n\n### **❌ Problem: Searching in company’s information takes 20% of employee’s time**\n\nEmployees tend to find themselves in at least one of these situations in a week:\n\n* Need urgent information from an unavailable colleague.\n* Are always asked for the same information\n* Don’t know where to search the information they need\n\n❗ **Worse, they don’t even know if the information exists in the company**\n\n### **And decisions proceed despite bad information**\n\n**💢 Impacts:**\n\n* Decisions can be made without having the relevant information\n* Simple tasks are executed asynchronously while waiting for the answer\n* Information doesn’t travel across teams\n\n### **✅ Solution: Quivr is an AI open-source platform where enterprises connect their tools, docs, APIs, and databases to chat with them.**\n\nEffortlessly retrieve any available information and let Quivr generate new usable content.\n\nFor example, Quivr enables them to:\n\n* Automatically write an email without making an effort to provide context.\n* Extract actionable information from a huge database.\n* Summarise an endless document to get its essence.\n\n### **🧠 How it works:**\n\nThe app can be deployed to the [**cloud**](https://quivr.app/) or [**self-hosted**](https://github.com/stangirard/quivr) on existing infrastructure to answer any data privacy concerns.\n\n* Create Brains that connect to:\n  * APIs\n  * Databases\n  * Documents\n  * Tools\n* Ask a question to:\n  * A specific Brain\n  * All your Brains and let Quivr find the best one\n* Chat with your answer\n\n### **🔨 The Founding Team**\n\nWe’re 3 French guys (with a good accent) who have been friends, coworkers, founders, and open-source enthusiasts! Before starting Quivr, **Brian** co-founded two companies with one exit \u0026 grew in less than a year a new division to 1M in revenue in his previous company. **Antoine** graduated from La Sorbonne with a focus on history and political science before transitioning into engineering. He was the first front-end developer at a company that saw a 15-fold increase in GMV over two years. **Stan** is a DevOps Expert \u0026 Engineering Manager turned Head of GenAI in a web dev agency with $100M of turnover while leading the GenAI Thought Leadership of the group.\n\n![](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=78445\u0026key=user_uploads/1620232/b8cedb2f-7b07-4e8c-9dd3-a49afaa0f451)\n\n### **🙏 Ask**\n\nWe’d love to be introduced to a friend or colleague who works in a company of 100+ people and has issues finding information.","slug":"KPF-quivr-open-source-chat-powered-second-brain-with-28k","created_at":"2024-02-15T16:08:12.839Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T01:51:35.751Z","total_vote_count":57,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/KPF-quivr-open-source-chat-powered-second-brain-with-28k","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":29504,"name":"Quivr","slug":"quivr","url":"https://www.quivr.app/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/55e2d5d59eda45392b5f80742e4d67462860257e.png","batch":"Winter 2024","industry":"B2B","tags":[],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/29504"}}
