Show HN: YC idea matcher – Submit an idea and get a list of similar YC companies

https://yc-idea-matcher.vercel.app/

This project uses semantic search, an advanced search technique that aims to understand the intent and context behind a search query instead of just matching keywords.

It's built using Neon Postgres + pg_embedding and OpenAI for generating embeddings. More details can be found in the repo https://github.com/neondatabase/yc-idea-matcher

Typing novel and potentially valuable ideas into such an 'app' seems not much wiser than 'testing' your credit card number that we saw a few weeks ago.

Ideas are worthless. Execution is what matters

Feel free to list all yours here that you haven't had chance to implement yet, or maybe just the top 5 or so?

All amazing multi-billion dollar ideas, I guarantee it. Feel free to steal them.

When idea is boring, even good execution may not help. An interesting idea is like tailwind, it helps to acquire followers easier

This provided an entertaining five minutes of entering silly company ideas to see what matches. Yeah, I wouldn't enter anything I'd remotely want to pursue.

This uses the /embeddings API endpoint that OpenAI released last year:

Including the popup of how it works is neat! Edit: And I realize now it's also nice marketing - and I think it's tastefully done, too.
