Announcing LimeAssist - Simple AI chat assistants
LimeAssist is a simple AI platform that can be used to build chatbots and AI assistants. I built it over the last few weeks as a side project and I'm excited to talk about it in this post.
Building AI assistants, the easy way
As a software engineer who's worked on LLM platforms before, I kept running into the same issue - everything felt unnecessarily complex. I wanted a super simple interface for quickly creating an agent without all the overhead. That's why I built LimeAssist.
The main idea is super simple: create an agent that has access to your sources. Right now it supports raw text, PDFs, and website URLs. Just upload your stuff, and within a couple of minutes, you've got an AI assistant that knows your content.
You control how it works
What I think is cool about LimeAssist is that you get to decide how your agent behaves. You can write your own system message (that's the instruction that tells the AI how to act), pick which model to use, and toggle things like reasoning capabilities.
Want the agent to prioritize using your documents over generating answers from scratch? You can do that too. It's your assistant, so you get to make the rules.
What's next?
I built this with NextJS and Python, focusing on making it fast and simple. This is just a soft launch to get some feedback - I have a bunch of ideas for new features, but I'd rather hear what actual users want first.
If you've got a minute, check it out and let me know what you think. Is there something specific you'd want your AI assistant to do? Drop me a message and help shape what LimeAssist becomes next.
