Show HN: Rivet – open-source AI Agent dev env with real-world applications
We just launched Rivet, the open-source visual AI programming environment! We built Rivet, because we were building complex AI Agent applications at Ironclad. It unlocked our abilities here, and we're excited to make available to the entire community. Backstory: A few months ago, inspired by things like LangChain and LlamaIndex, we started building an AI agent that could work with legal contracts. Unfortunately, we couldn't just use retrieval augmented generation (RAG), because a lot of contracts are basically identical (many chunks with near-identical embeddings), except for a few key details. So, we turned to things like ReAct and AutoGPT for inspiration. At first, things went great. We were adding agent capabilities, doing chain-of-thought prompting. But then we hit a wall.
