Google Sheets interface is simple and accessible
From 3 comments
I love integrating into spreadsheets. Super easy to use. Reminds me a bit of mailmerge. I don't have much experience with modern finetuning, but isn't it highly technical. How…
ygreif on HNThis is awesome, I don't have a fine-tuning use case yet, but I can't imagine something being easier than a spreadsheet.
ivape on HNAgree, not super familiar with this space but that you are using GS as the UI makes this super accessible to so many more people given familiarity and low intimidation factor.…

Good UI idea for non-technical people giving model feedback

Incredibly crowded space, but this is a great insight and UI... engineers probably have to integrate the model but we should empower non-technical customer-facing people to give…

Pricing feels tricky; annual plan push seen as a trap
From 2 comments
I don't like the pricing. $38 a month headline much smaller billed annually with the price more than doubling. This is the trick your customers strategy and hope for no…
ipaddr on HNWhen I see a product — especially an early-stage product — trying to funnel me into a yearly subscription, the signal I get is that you think I’ll quit in less than a year which,…

From 2 comments
Why Google Sheet though? Why would you want your customers to give their training data to Google?!
littlestymaar on HNYou are still giving your data away to Google, and it's one line of ToS change from allowing them to do it. And we know this Lind of changes happen all the time.

Who is your target customer? From reading the site, it's not clear that someone who doesn't already know about fine tuning and want to do it would know what your service does or…

Hard to prove fine-tuning beats prompting and RAG
From 1 comment
Your biggest obstacle is proving fine-tuning is more effective than prompting, workflow design, RAG, etc during the initial pass. Most of my customers are still getting big…

rgbrgb on HNNeat! Wonder though if you should be even offering the BYO option as a separate lite package. As a dev I would not buy this and as a non-tech person I would be confused by your…

How is overfitting avoided?
From 1 comment
How do you make sure the fine-tuning process stays effective without the risk of overfitting on specific data?

Can fine-tuned models be used outside the platform?
From 1 comment
I am not saying there isn't value for this, just saying what it does. I might actually use this if they don't tie the fine tuned models to only be used within their platform.
