Hey HN, we're building a similar product at https://evertrove.co -- we don't have the limits Kendra currently has, and integrate with a lot more services. We're still early and figuring out what the pricing structure should be, but we're making it a lot more competitive than Kendra is.

We'd love to talk to you if you're interested in using Kendra. We're also wondering if there's more value on the Question Answering side of things, or the document retrieval side of things? Would love your thoughts!

Question answering doesn't replace search, it's a new search use case. People who ask questions want one single answer. It doesn't replace the many existing search use cases (comparing/contrasting items; known-item lookup; problem solving for lazier users w/ fewer keywords)

In fact, while I do notice people doing question answering, users are also exceedingly lazy and want even more out of a search UI with fewer keywords. I just went to an e-commerce search UI and searched for backpack, and got something closer to search-y recommendations targeted around the kinds of backpacks I might want.

Is this HIPAA compliant? And how do we contact you? It's a little difficult not having an email address.
