There's also an Alerts functionality, where you can just ask Claude to submit a SQL query as an alert, and you'll be emailed when the ultra nuanced criteria is met (and the output changes). Like I want to know when somebody posts about "estrogen" in a psychoactive context, or enough biology metaphors when talking about building infrastructure.

Currently have embedded: posts: 1.4M / 4.6M comments: 15.6M / 38M That's with Voyage-3.5-lite. And you can do amazing compositional vector search, like search @FTX_crisis - (@guilt_tone - @guilt_topic) to find writing that was about the FTX crisis and distinctly without guilty tones, but that can mention "guilt".

I can embed everything and all the other sources for cheap, I just literally don't have the money.
