Find and analyze relevant Reddit discussions with the power of AI - making crowd-sourced knowledge more accessible.
One issue with underdiagnosed and underrecognized diseases is the lack of information and treatment plans provided by doctors. For example, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) affects people worldwide with symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and bloating. Diseases like this force patients to experiment with different solutions, relying on other people's personal experiences for guidance.
Subreddits like r/SIBO provide valuable personal experiences that can help people overcome their challenges. However, the variety of topics on Reddit can make it difficult to navigate. Embeddit makes searching through these experiences easy and efficient.
Embeddit allows users to ask questions about specific subreddits. Users input the subreddit's name and the number of posts to analyze. The app then:
- Calls Reddit's API to fetch posts
- Embeds them in a Pinecone vector database
- Provides AI-powered analysis of personal experiences
- Connects people facing similar challenges worldwide
- Frontend: React, Tailwind CSS, DaisyUI
- Backend: Next.js
