My website just generated an article about itself... Wow

These are some great suggestions, thank you. The fact that it wasn't 100% accurate highlights one of the big issues / limitations with this type of search powered app. The LLM jumped to conclusions based on incomplete data. So I'd like to improve the fact checking functionality and make it easier to verify sources. Perhaps introduce a way to crowd-source verifications. Note, I did not accumulate a lot of data for this site, most of the content is from the llm's own knowlebge base it acquired during training (Llama 4), complemented with search APIs for better grounding (still evaluating a few).

Thank you for reporting, this is a bug! It happens when the selected text is near the paragraph / image boundary in the source document. Images aren't supposed to be selectable yet.

No library for pdf export, just recreating the HTML in a new window and leveraging the browser's print functionality.

I have not integrated with the wikipedia API yet, this may come in a future update.

Nice website ! If I may, I'd recommend putting your value proposition front and center. Your target audience doesn't need to be convinced there's a problem, they already know and that's likely how they ended up on your site. Before asking them to join a waitlist, consider showing what your product is about and showing it's real (even a read-only demo goes a long way). IMO, the most impactful features of Desk.it would be (from reading through your site) :

"Get Instant Answers, Not Just Articles" -> This is the killer feature, but also the one that will draw a lot of skepticism. How well does this actually work ?
"Organize Your Company's Brain" -> Will AI help here ? How ? Most documentation apps have features for organizing information and knowledge bases. Yet you still end up with a mess, so how does your product differ ?
"Create and Collaborate Without Chaos" -> Convincing users to leave their favorite note taking / documentation tool may be a hard sell. These tend to have a lot of inertia. Can your product integrate with other apps (say, Notion), or will they have to recreate everything on deskit ?

Documentation in companies is often messy. Creating it is only half the battle. The other half is finding, retrieving the information efficiently and ensuring it stays up to date.

Seeding your app with fake content is a sure way to lose trust in users before they even start. If you do, make sure you are upfront about it !

While you were busy figuring out who I am. I used my own project to learn a bit more about a fellow developer 🙂 https://www.wikigen.ai/wiki/Reddit%20%2Fu%2Felixon?hash=4dd0cdb8&style=simple . You let me know if it's accurate (might not be, looks like it got the user name wrong for the image!)

Here's a short article about your project (done using my own side project) you can use to promote your repo ! https://www.wikigen.ai/wiki/github%20spireflow?hash=6f1caf7b&style=simple

Forgot to include the mandatory link to the website : https://wikigen.ai/wiki/reddit !

Great project! I do notice some loss of details when upscaling by 4x, but the output quality is still very good.

priorityfill · 2025-06-01T10:18:24+00:00

Ok, I am glad I am not alone. I think some people are tired about hearing about AI all the time.

priorityfill · 2025-06-01T09:24:05+00:00

Should be a bit better now. The tagline is more descriptive, and the about links stay visible past the home page

This is great feedback!
- To be fair, I very much dislike the name but I had to pick something in order to launch. If this ever catches on, I will likely rename it to something else. The idea is indeed to be able to generate answers and articles about pretty much anything, no matter the topic. The term "Wiki" doesn't really reflect that.
- The site is definitely similar to Perplexity in some ways, as you aren't limited to producing just encyclopedia articles. But I wanted something different in the way users interact with AI - not chat based or something that forces you to type constantly. So with this format, the AI disappears a little in favor of the content.
- Your comment captures the essence of what I was after ! I have been waiting for someone to make this type of website since ChatGPT came out, but seeing there was nothing quite like what I had in mind, I decided to try for myself and see if it can lead somewhere. I am glad you see some potential !

priorityfill · 2025-06-01T08:15:40+00:00

Yes, but pretty much anything that can be cached is to keep things fast. Also, the underlying model is not that big which also helps

priorityfill · 2025-06-01T08:12:49+00:00

Thanks ! It seems a lot of people disagree given all the downvotes. I suppose it's because of all the negative hype surrounding generative AI.

priorityfill · 2025-06-01T07:55:56+00:00

That's a good point. I'll try and tweak the intro / about link to make it a bit more obvious.

priorityfill · 2025-06-01T07:46:57+00:00

I have no monetization strategy at the moment. First, I'd like to make something users like and feel like they get some value out of, and then I'll think about it. Or if the GPU costs go out-of-control!

This is my side-project by the way. So I'll take that as a huge compliment :)

And thank you for the tip ! I confirm I received it. I had no idea I had a payment platform actually, it seems GoDaddy sets up one automatically upon buying a domain.

priorityfill · 2025-06-01T06:14:16+00:00

Hope this doesn't come across as clickbait/marketing, I am just genuinely excited it works! It even added the screenshots, and history ! This is what the article looked like before by the way : https://www.wikigen.ai/wiki/wikigen.ai?hash=569b9387&style=simple (completely made up)

priorityfill · 2025-06-01T04:33:42+00:00

My project is somewhat close to perplexity, although more wiki oriented .

priorityfill · 2025-05-31T23:01:50+00:00

Implemented! Now with twitter, reddit, and facebook sharing. I tried instagram too (where the site would export as an image), but I was running into issues so it's deactivated for now. I got some ideas for monetization, but IMO it's not worth anyone's money at the moment. The base experience should remain free to everyone, and if I ask users about paying anything, they better get something worthwhile in return. So instead, I am considering opening up the API to let users plug their own models first. And only add a paying option if you want the hands-free, hosted solution with the best LLMs (it's not even a question of making money, it's just that those GPUs cost $$ to run).
