Show HN: Build your own ChatGPT with Mersei

[napier]

Ultra low contrast top header is hard to read. Red buttons mean stop. Ultra flat generic look. Invest in a few hours with a designer.

No pricing or byo API key option makes me more hesitant to commit. Intro video length unclear as YT controls disabled on embed, and can’t adjust playback speed. Differentiation from every other chat-with-your-docs option out there is unclear.

But congratulations on shipping a launch. I’m sure you can improve in tight iterations.

Thanks for your suggestions, really appreciated

Well done on the launch:

A lot of these GPT powered thing sites look the same. Same old “flat people” stock images etc. Maybe get a human graphic artist to spice it up.

Best way to demo is take me to a chat prompt trained on something (for example all pro basketball players) with no login and example prompts.

A show off of how you set it up is less important for first impressions. But it should be easy to set up (looks like it is)

Hi, thanks for your advice, really appreciated! In fact, we have a demo chatbot pre-trained with docs in Google Drive and a wiki in Confluence, check it out at https://mersei.com/demo

I'm having trouble reading the chats due to the grey on red text

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see any information about costs.

We are discussing with the team about pricing, in the next days we will release that info, how will that work and the offerings.

Please, join the waiting list to get early news about new features.
