Description
Hi HN,I built an open-source AI agent that has already indexed and can search the entire Epstein files, roughly 100M words of publicly released documents.The goal was simple: make a large, messy corpus of PDFs and text files immediately searchable in a precise way, without relying on keyword search or bloated prompts.What it does:- The full dataset is already indexed - You can ask natural language questions - Answers are grounded and include direct references to source documents - Supports both exact text lookup and semantic searchDiscussion around these files is often fragmented. This makes it possible to explore the primary sources directly and verify claims without manually digging through thousands of pages.Happy to answer questions or go into technical details.Code: https://github.com/nozomio-labs/nia-epstein-ai

Could you build this?
Yes This is a classic RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipeline parsing document dumps, generating vector embeddings, and running hybrid search via an off-the-shelf vector database. These workflows are textbook use cases for AI-assisted vibe coding.
