Alumni Q&A
- How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)
- The founders began building applications with open-source frameworks such as LangChain and HuggingFace in February 2023, and wanted a faster way to prototype without repetitive code and with better visualization of the LLM flow, which led to Flowise.
- What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?
- The founders aim to make large language models accessible to people from less technical backgrounds. Flowise lets users connect components such as a PDF loader, OpenAI embeddings, and a Pinecone vector database to build applications like a ChatGPT over their own documents without writing code.
Summarized from the founders' answers on their Y Combinator profile.
