Hey HN! Founder and CTO of Amplified here. We've been working on this for quite some time now and we feel like we've finally cracked it. The response has been really wonderful.
A couple of tech points: we're using Elixir and the app is entirely Phoenix LiveView. Building with LiveView has been such a pleasure. I'll write another post about taking the bet on LiveView, but it's been a great one for our small team.
On the machine learning side, everything is bespoke. My PhD work was on innovation economics and integrating machine learning into econometric models. We jumped into transformers early and we've been working on advances in handling long sequences that we'll be submitting to conferences over the next year.
We really want to make the patent system work the way it's meant to work. That means reducing the number of bad patents that get granted and making it easier for anyone to grapple with patent prior art. We're also keen to help out anyone being harassed by patent trolls. If you are, drop us a line and we'd be happy to get you set up with access to Amplified for free.
