Indy News Assistant

After noticing the recent increase in (self)censorship by mainstream media I created the “Indy News Assistant”. It takes any topic and provides both news sources as well as latest YouTube videos published on the matter.

To make it easy for those without a ChatGPT subscription here is a public Streamlit app using the same api: https://indy-news.streamlit.app

It uses vectors and bm25 to make search work, and I think it is an interesting and cheap approach. Unfortunately vector searches, like LLMs, suffer from producing irrelevant output, and so this comes with a YMMV warning 😉
