Show HN: Phraisely.com – look up words by their description (phraisely.com)

5 points by alenri 3y ago ↗ HN

I did not get much feedback last time I shared [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33286893]

I built phraisely as an AI assistant to look up words by their descriptions. Since my last posts, I've added:

   - free trial with *no signup* required
   - improved quality of the model and results.
   - improved usability.

Example usage: if you query for "being home at night watching Netflix on the couch", results can contain "relaxing" and "unwinding" but also "binge-watching" since I mentioned Netflix. Bonus points when I get some slang in the results (e.g. couch-potatoing).

Remember: (i) the more detailed your query is, the better and (ii) phraisely is creative so try to run a query multiple times.

I'm planning to keep working improving the model and the results. Comments and suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

Shockingly accurate

Glad you find it useful! Let me know if you have any comments. I'm working on improving the output, especially using non-english input to return english words. It already performs some of this tasks but would like to know what people think.

Thank you for the time you took to try it out.
