Launch HN: Phind 3 (YC S22) – Every answer is a mini-app | Hacker NewsHacker Newsnew | past | comments | ask | show | jobs | submitloginLaunch HN: Phind 3 (YC S22) – Every answer is a mini-app80 points by rushingcreek 9 hours ago | hide | past | favorite | 70 commentsHi HN,We are launching Phind 3 (https://www.phind.com), an AI answer engine that instantly builds a complete mini-app to answer and visualize your questions in an interactive way. A Phind mini-app appears as a beautiful, interactive webpage — with images, charts, diagrams, maps, and other widgets. Phind 3 doesn’t just present information more beautifully; interacting with these widgets dynamically updates the content on the page and enables new functionality that wasn’t possible before.For example, asking Phind for “options for a one-bedroom apartment in the Lower East Side” (https://www.phind.com/search/find-me-options-for-a-72e019ce-...) gives an interactive apartment-finding experience with customizable filters and a map view. And asking for a “recipe for bone-in chicken thighs” gives you a customizable recipe where changing the seasoning, cooking method, and other parameters will update the recipe content itself in real-time (https://www.phind.com/search/make-me-an-recipe-for-7c30ea6c-...).Unlike Phind 2 and ChatGPT apps, which use pre-built brittle widgets that can’t truly adapt to your task, Phind 3 is able to create tools and widgets for itself in real-time. We learned this lesson the hard way with our previous launch – the pre-built widgets made the answers much prettier, but they didn’t fundamentally enable new functionality. For example, asking for “Give me round-trip flight options from JFK to SEA on Delta from December 1st-5th in both miles and cash” (https://www.phind.com/search/give-me-round-trip-flight-c0ebe...) is not something that neither Phind 2 nor ChatGPT apps can handle, because its Expedia widget can only display cash fares and not those with points. We realized that Phind needs to be able to create and consume its own tools, with schema it designs, all in real time. Phind 3’s ability to design and create fully custom widgets in real-time means that it can answer these questions while these other tools can’t. Phind 3 now generates raw React code and is able to create any tool to harness its underlying AI answer, search, and code execution capabilities.Building on our history of helping developers solve complex technical questions, Phind 3 is able to answer and visualize developers’ questions like never before. For example, asking to “visualize quicksort” (https://www.phind.com/search/make-me-a-beautiful-visualizati...) gives an interactive step-by-step walkthrough of how the algorithm works.Phind 3 can help visualize and bring your ideas to life in seconds — you can ask it to “make me a 3D Minecraft simulation” (https://www.phind.com/search/make-me-a-3d-minecraft-fde7033f...) or “make me a 3D roller coaster simulation” (https://www.phind.com/search/make-me-a-3d-roller-472647fc-e4...).Our goal with Phind 3 is to usher in the era of on-demand software. You shouldn’t have to compromise by either settling for text-based AI conversations or using pre-built webpages that weren’t customized for you. With Phind 3, we create a “personal internet” for you with the visualization and interactivity of the internet combined with the customization possible with AI. We think that this current “chat” era of AI is akin to the era of text-only interfaces in computers. The Mac ushering in the GUI in 1984 didn’t just make computer outputs prettier — it ushered in a whole new era of interactivity and possibilities. We aim to do that now with AI.On a technical level, we are particularly excited about:- Phind 3’s ability to create its own tools with its own custom schema and then consume them- Significant improvements in agentic searching and a new deep research mode to surface hard-to-access information- All-new custom Phind models that blend speed and quality. The new Phind Fast model is based on GLM-4.5-Air while the new Phind Large model is based on GLM 4.6. Both models are state-of-the-art when it comes to reliable code generation, producing over 70% fewer errors than GPT-5.1-Codex (high) on our internal mini-app generation benchmark. Furthermore, we trained custom Eagle3 heads for both Phind Fast and Phind Large for fast inference. Phind Fast runs at up to 300 tokens per second, and Phind Large runs at up to 200 tokens per second, making them the fastest Phind models ever.While we have done Show HNs before for previous Phind versions, we’ve never actually done a proper Launch HN for Phind. As always, we can’t wait to hear your feedback! We are also hiring, so please don’t hesitate to reach out.– Michael

You have a good product, but I would remove beautiful* from your copy. Based on what I tried, every result page has the same AI aesthetic, with low contrast text which is at times _very_ hard to read (e.g., small red text).replyjameslk 2 hours ago | prev | next [–]
This is cool! AI is the UI!I could see something like this being especially killer in ecommerce, where comparisons, faceted search, and heavy use of video/photos/3D models is important. Also ecommerce brands love to have control over the aesthetic of their experiences. Their UI is constantly evolving due to sales, up/cross sells, recommendations, personalization, A/B testing, etcreplypersonjerry 7 hours ago | prev | next [–]
The problem is I don't think every answer needs a mini-app. I'd argue there are very few answers that do.For example, it feels like Google's featured snippet (quick answer box) but expanded. But the thing is, many people don't like the feature snippet, and there's a reason it doesn't appear for many queries - it doesn't contribute meaningfully to those.This functionality is doing exactly the opposite of the process of building good web apps: Rather than "unpacking functionality" and making it specific for an audience, it "packs" all functionality into a generalized use case, at the cost of becoming extremely mediocre for each use case, which makes it precisely worse than any other tool you'd use for that job.As a specific example, I clicked your apartments in LES search (https://www.phind.com/search/find-me-options-for-a-72e019ce-...) and it shows us just 4 listings...? It shows some arbitrary subset of all things I could find on StreetEasy, and then provides a subset of the search functionality, losing things such as days on market, neighborhood, etc.It's a cool demo, but "on-demand software" is exactly "Solution-In-Search-of-a-Problem".The difficult part you need to ask is, like feature snippet, what are the questions worth solving with this, and is the pain point big enough that it's worth solving?replyrushingcreek 7 hours ago | parent | next [–]
Thanks for the feedback, and I agree that it is very much early days for this product category. To be clear, our goal is to make the software specific for an audience: you. What's exciting, though, is that models are rapidly improving at building on-demand software and this will directly benefit Phind. There are still many edge cases, but I think it will get better quickly.replyimglorp 4 hours ago | root | parent | next [–]
I would like to see a detection of when I want a one sentence answer and when I want a full interactive explanation with flowcharts and tables and diagrams.My most common usecase now is "give me a quick answer because I don't want to wade through the search engine results page and then wade through the blog to get my one liner. Eg: "what's the command line to untar an xz over ssh?"replyrushingcreek 4 hours ago | root | parent | next [–]
I hear you, but why not use something like Google AI Mode or AI Overviews for that? That's pretty hard to beat for simple questions in terms of speed, especially for one-liners.replypersonjerry 7 hours ago | root | parent | prev | next [–]
Hmm this answer seems to have ignored everything I said, provided a generic answer ("you") which is exactly the problem, and doubled down on models/technology portion (and edge cases?) which is neither built by Phind nor did I question.replyaaronblohowiak 2 hours ago | root | parent | next [–]
Yea, I wonder if this was an ai interaction.replyalwa 5 hours ago | parent | prev | next [–]
I tend to agree: I don’t understand what the “one-off app” is trying to achieve. In the example of the rental apartment—the user specified the parameters in the query. Just apply them, right?I offer this in the spirit of feeling like I’m missing something, not out of negativity—I just genuinely don't understand the proposition.What’s the advantage of trying to extract and normalize features from already-messy data sources, then provide controls that duplicate the query, rather than just applying the query and returning the results? Isn’t the user turning to a natural-language LLM specifically to avoid operating idiosyncratic UI controls?For that matter, it takes time to learn to use an interface effectively. To understand how what it says it’s doing connects to what it’s actually doing. I know I can always trust McMaster Carr’s filter controls, and I know I can never trust Amazon’s wacky random ones.It seems to me that it’s much harder to pick the right controls and make them work correctly than it is to throw some controls in an interface. Maybe that’s what I’m missing: that just wiring in controls in the first place is the hard part for most people who don’t work in this space.Is the idea here that I’d need to learn a brand new interface, and figure out whether I can trust it, with every query?replyrushingcreek 5 hours ago | root | parent | next [–]
A hypothesis here is that well-crafted UI helps you understand/see options for what you don't yet know.For example, here's an example for a "day trip plan in Bristol" that contains a canonical example (directly based on the query), but also a customization widget that presents some options that you might not have already thought about if you were just doing a text-based followup.https://www.phind.com/search/make-me-a-day-plan-ac8c583b-ce6...replycalvinmorrison 5 hours ago | root | parent | prev | next [–]
> I don’t understand what the “one-off app” is trying to achieve.Many years ago in college I worked on building Java applets that let kids visualize math related concepts. Sliders make things like sine/cosine and all sorts of other cool stuff way way more intuitive. We had a applet that, let you do ridiculous comparisons, to visualize how many empire state buildings a marathon is in length, etc. We had an primitive 'engine' simulator that let you adjust inputs on a steam engine. stuff like thatreplyaaronblohowiak 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [–]

I asked about the Peninsula campaign during the Civil War and it gave me an overview, a map, profiles (with photos) of the main military commanders, a relevant Youtube video ... rough edges but overall love the format.Rough edges:
- aspect ratios on photos (maybe because I was on mobile, cropping was weird)
- map was very hard to read (again, mobile)
- some formatting problems with tables
- it tried to show an embedded Gmap for one location but must have gotten the location wrong, was just oceanreplyrushingcreek 7 hours ago | parent | next [–]

Before it was a fast AI chat that would explain tech stuff and help me with issues.I used it quite often, even instead of GH Copilot.Now, it's much slower and has some kind of solution view that gets updated with every new message.Found myself to resorting to GH Copilot chat quite often today, because Phind felt like a different/worse service.replychw9e 1 hour ago | root | parent | next [–]

I asked about twinning extra spicy tea bc i had just made it for me:
https://www.phind.com/search/twinnings-extra-spicy-tea-bd067...and after about 90 seconds the mini app was created which had a few sliders for cardamom, cinnamon, ginger which was really confusing, then it showed a bunch of other stuff which was also completely useless. I did the same search on Google ( https://tinyurl.com/47sh4eah ) and did not dislike the answer bc i know it didn't burn 1000s of tokens for that query.

hey michael,
long term phind user here. phind became absolute sh*t. almost every answer is wrong. web search should be on by default to get accurate info. but even then is ends up hallucinating a lot.if every response starts with "You're absolutely right -- ..." you know phind is hallucinating and you can immediately close the tab.replyrushingcreek 7 hours ago | parent | next [–]
hey, sorry to hear that. web search is on by default, but we had some teething issues with it in the last hour. it should be fully fixed now. can you send some links that failed?replynextaccountic 7 hours ago | root | parent | next [–]
people often can't share their searches due to privacy concerns, maybe you should at least provide an email address so they can share it privately? rather than posting on HN (going forward, does you app have a feedback button in each search? if not it should)anyway I think you need better QA processesreplygavinray 6 hours ago | prev | next [–]
Neat idea!I tried it out with a relatively basic Medicinal Chem/Pharmacology question, asking for an interactive Structure-Activity-Relationship viewer: > "Build an interactive app showing SAR for a congeneric series. Use simple beta-2 agonists (salbutamol -> formoterol -> salmeterol). Display the common phenethylamine scaffold with R-group positions highlighted, and let me toggle substituents to see how logP, receptor binding affinity, and duration of action change."

It did not quite get it right. It put a bunch of pieces together, but the interactivity/functionality didn't work and choice of visualization was poor for the domain:https://www.phind.com/search/find-me-options-for-a-72e019ce-...replyrushingcreek 5 hours ago | parent | next [–]

Awesome job is it possible to have predefined specing features and perhaps a layout as well for instance if I need a specific layout, font , order , certain UI elements it could be for accessibilitys' sake or preference , can you make the internal code used for app creation be configurable insuring security of course.replysyndacks 19 minutes ago | prev | next [–]
This is pretty cool!Since we’re sharing related work, I’ve been building something at a very different layer of the stack. Shameless plug warning!Where Phind gives you an interactive answer right now, I built SageNet for the opposite problem: when you want to go from zero → actually good at something over weeks/months, not just get a one-shot result.SageNet:- builds a personalized learning plan- adapts as you progress- generates short audio lessons- gives real projects- has a daily voice check-in agent- lets you share a public progress dashboardIf anyone wants to try it: https://www.sagenet.clubreplyWillAdams 9 hours ago | prev | next [–]

This might be super-obvious or it might already exist but can you make Phind create mobile apps?

This is good. It’s fascinating how it spins up interactive pages instantly. Some of the mini-apps actually feel useful, but others break in ways you wouldn’t expect.I’m curious to see how it evolves with more complex, multi-step queries.replyvector_spaces 8 hours ago | prev | next [–]
OK, I've had a chance to play with it in earnest.First: my sense is that for most use cases, this will begin to feel gimmicky rather quickly and that you will do better by specializing rather than positioning yourself next to ChatGPT, which answers my questions without too much additional ceremony.If you have any diehard users, I suspect they will cluster around very particular use cases, say business users trying to create quick internal tools, users who want to generate a quick app on mobile, scientists that want quick apps to validate data. Focusing on those clusters (your actual ones, not these specific examples) and building something optimized for their use cases seems likelier to be a stronger long term play for youSecondly, I asked it to prove a theorem, and it gave me a link to a proof. This is fine, since LLM generated math proofs are a bit of a mess, but I was surprised that it didn't offer any visualizations or anything further. I then asked it for numerical experiments that support the conjecture, and it just showed me some very generic code and print statements for a completely different problem, unrelated to what I asked about. Not very compellingFinally, and least important really: please stop submitting my messages when I hit return/enter! Many of us like to send more complex multi-line queries to LLMsGood luckreplyhtshnr 7 hours ago | parent | next [–]

It's definitely cool and engineering wise close to SOTA given lovable and all of the app generators.But, assuming you are trying to be in between lovable and google, how are you not going to be steamrolled by google or perplexity etc the moment you get solid traction?

What really is the difference?replyrushingcreek 8 hours ago | parent | next [–]
Thanks, and great question. The custom Phind models are really key here -- off-the-shelf models (even SOTA models from big labs) are slow and error-prone when it comes to generating full websites on-the-fly.Our long-term vision is to build a fully personalized internet.

Okay, here's a comprehensive summary of the Hacker News launch post for Phind 3, crafted according to your specifications:

Phind 3 represents a significant leap forward in AI-driven application development. Unlike traditional chatbot interfaces that offer pre-built widgets and canned responses, Phind 3 dynamically generates fully interactive mini-apps tailored to specific user queries. This isn’t simply a prettier presentation of information – it’s about fundamentally changing how users engage with information by building on-demand software. The core innovation lies in Phind 3’s ability to create, consume, and manage its own tools, utilizing custom-built schemas and real-time execution.

The key differentiator is Phind 3’s capacity to generate React code enabling it to build and execute tools. The design emphasizes a highly personalized user experience. For example, a query to "find me options for a one-bedroom apartment in the Lower East Side" doesn't just display a list of apartments; it creates an interactive experience with filters, a map view, and customizable parameters. Similarly, requesting a "recipe for bone-in chicken thighs" yields a dynamically updating recipe where changes to seasoning or cooking method instantly reflect in the output.

Phind 3 moves beyond simple information retrieval, exemplified by its ability to visualize complex concepts such as "quick sort" with an interactive step-by-step demonstration. Furthermore, the platform demonstrates capability in generating entirely novel applications, such as 3D Minecraft simulations or roller coaster designs – capabilities far exceeding the capabilities of conventional chatbot interfaces.

The technical underpinnings of Phind 3 are particularly noteworthy. The platform utilizes custom-trained Phind Fast and Phind Large models (both based on GLM-4.5-Air and GLM 4.6 respectively), achieving state-of-the-art performance in code generation – consistently producing over 70% fewer errors than GPT-5.1-Codex on internal mini-app benchmark. The use of custom Eagle3 heads for fast inference (Phind Fast up to 300 tokens per second, Phind Large up to 200 tokens per second) dramatically accelerates response times.

While early feedback indicates some teething issues – particularly with accuracy and navigating complex user requests – the underlying potential is clear. The ability to generate truly on-demand software, coupled with the rapid advancements in large language models, positions Phind 3 as a potentially transformative technology. The evolution of the model moves away from serving up answers in a generic sense, toward building tailored interactive tools.

The launch of Phind 3 underscores a key shift toward user-centric AI, enabling users to engage with technology in a way that's both dynamic and intuitive.
