Ask HN: Local RAG with private knowledge base
Looking for a free, local, open source RAG solution for running a reference library with 1000s of technical PDFs and word docs. Tried the Ollama + open webui, Ollama+Anything LLM with opensource models such as Llama3.2 etc. As expected the more documents we feed the lower the accuracy. Doing it for a bunch of senior citizens who still love geeking out.

Show HN: OneQR – A Digital Business Card Solution with NFC and Analytic
Hey HN,
I’ve been working on OneQR.me, a platform for creating digital business cards designed to replace traditional paper cards with a single, reusable NFC-enabled card. Here are some of the main features:
Professional Digital Profiles: Users can create a custom profile with essential details and share it instantly via a tap of their NFC-enabled card or a QR code. Analytics for Taps and Engagement: Gain insights on how often and where your card is used. Great for tracking connections and gauging networking impact. Environmentally Friendly: Instead of printing new cards, a single reusable card reduces paper waste while making it easier to share contact info in a professional way. Customization Options: Choose from templates tailored to different industries or build a personalized style for your digital profile. Easy Sharing: Aside from NFC, profiles can be shared through QR codes, making it accessible even without an NFC-enabled phone. I’d love to get some feedback from the HN community! Feel free to try it out and let me know if you have any suggestions or questions.
Thanks for checking it out!

Show HN: CogniSim – Interaction utilites for crossplatform LLM agents
We built a tool to that makes it easy to create LLM UI automations for IOS and Android.
If You've ever tried to create tests that run with an LLM on mobile, probably encountered context problems due to the accessibility view being too long or just sending a screenshot to the LLM, which has low accuracy.
Cognisim:
1. Turns the accessibility into a more LLM parseable form for your agents, and uses set of mark prompting to combine the screenshot and text for more accuracy. We create a grid of the screen so the text representation also has some form of visual structure to it.
2. Implements a simple API to do interactions on IOS and Android
3. Maps LLM responses back to accessibility components via a dictionary that maps id -> accessibility component
Pretty simple, but we hope you get some value from it :)
We run CogniSim in production for thousands of mobile UI tests a day at Revyl. If you are interested in proactive observability - combining resilient end to end tests with open telemetry traces, give us a shout - revyl.ai
