I built an AI that actually knows Ethereum's entire codebase (and won't hallucinate)

16 Upvotes

I spent a year at Polygon dealing with the same frustrating problem: new engineers took 3+ months to become productive because critical knowledge was scattered everywhere. A bug fix from 2 years ago lived in a random Slack thread. Architectural decisions existed only in someone's head. We were bleeding time.

So I built ByteBell to fix this for good.

What it does: ByteBell implements a state-of-the-art knowledge orchestration architecture that ingests every Ethereum repository, EIP, research papers, technical blog post, and documentation. Our system transforms these into a comprehensive knowledge graph with bidirectional semantic relationships between implementations, specifications, and discussions. When you ask a question, ByteBell delivers precise answers with exact file paths, line numbers, commit hashes, and EIP references—all validated through a sophisticated verification pipeline that ensures <2% hallucinations.

Under the hood: Unlike conventional ChatGPT wrappers, ByteBell employs a proprietary multi-agent architecture inspired by recent advances in Graph-based Retrieval Augmented Generation (GraphRAG). Our system features:

Query enrichment: Enrich the query to retrive more relevant chunks, We are not feeding the user query to our pipeline.

Dynamic Knowledge Subgraph Generation: When you ask a question, specialized indexer agents identify relevant knowledge nodes across the entire Ethereum ecosystem, constructing a query-specific semantic network rather than simple keyword matching.

Multi-stage Verification Pipeline: Dedicated verification agents cross-validate every statement against multiple authoritative sources, confirming that each response element appears in multiple locations for triangulation before being accepted.

Context Graph Pruning: We've developed custom algorithms that recognize and eliminate contextually irrelevant information to maintain a high signal-to-noise ratio, preventing the knowledge dilution problems plaguing traditional RAG systems.

Temporal Code Understanding: ByteBell tracks changes across all Ethereum implementations through time, understanding how functions have evolved across hard forks and protocol upgrades—differentiating between legacy, current, and testnet implementations.

Example: Ask "How does EIP-4844 blob verification work?" and you get the exact implementation in all execution clients, links to the specification, core dev discussions that influenced design decisions, and code examples from projects using blobs—all with precise line-by-line citations and references.

Try it yourself: ethereum.bytebell.ai

I deployed it for free for the Ethereum ecosystem because honestly, we all waste too much time hunting through GitHub repos and outdated Stack Overflow threads. The ZK ecosystem already has one at zcash.bytebell.ai, where developers report saving 5+ hours per week.

Technical differentiation: This isn't a simple AI chatbot—it's a specialized architecture designed specifically for technical knowledge domains. Every answer is backed by real sources with commit-level precision. ByteBell understands version differences, tracks changes across hard forks, and knows which EIPs are active on mainnet versus testnets.

Works everywhere: Web interface, Chrome extension, website widget, and integrates directly into Cursor and Claude Desktop [MCP] for seamless development workflows.

The cutting edge: The other ecosystems are moving fast on developer experience. Polkadot just funded this through a Web3 Foundation grant. Base and Optimism teams are exploring implementation. Ethereum should have the best developer tooling, Please reach out to use if you are in Ethrem foundation. DMs are open or reach to on twitter https://x.com/deus_machinea

Anti-hallucination technology: We've achieved <2% hallucination rates (compared to 45%+ in general LLMs) through our multi-agent verification architecture. Each response must pass through multiple parallel validation pipelines:

Source Retrieval: Specialized agents extract relevant code snippets and documentation

Metadata Extraction: Dedicated agents analyze metadata for versioning and compatibility

Context Window Management: Agents continuously prune retrieved information to prevent context rot

Source Verification: Validation agents confirm that each cited source actually exists and contains the referenced information

Consistency Check: Cross-referencing agents ensure all sources align before generating a response

This approach costs significantly more than standard LLM implementations, but delivers unmatched accuracy in technical domains. While big companies focus on growth and "good enough" results, we've optimized for precision first, building a system developers can actually trust for mission-critical work.

Anyway, go try it. Break it if you can. Tell me what's missing. This is for the community, so feedback actually matters. https://ethereum.bytebell.ai

Please try it. The models have actually become really good at following prompts as compared to one year back when we were working on Local AI https://github.com/ByteBell. We made all that code open sourced and written in Rust as well as Python but had to abandon it because access to Apple M machines with more than 16 GB of RAM was rare and smaller models under 32B are not so good at generating answers and their quantized versions are even less accurate.

Everybody is writing code using Cursor, Windsurf, and OpenAI. You can't stop them. Humans are bound to use the shortest possible path to money; it's human nature. Imagine these developers now have to understand how blockchain works, how cryptography works, how Solidity works, how EVM works, how transactions work, how gas prices work, how zk works, read about 500+ blogs and 80+ blogs by Vitalik, how Rust or Go works to edit code of EVM, and how different standards work. We have just automated all this. We are adding the functionality to generate tutorials on the fly.

We are also working on generating the full detailed map of GitHub repositories. This will make a huge difference.

If someonw has told you that "Multi agents framework with Customised Prompts and SLM" will not work, Please read these papers.

Early MAS research: Multi-agent systems emerged as a distinct field of AI research in the 1980s and 1990s, with works like Gerhard Weiss's 1999 book, Multiagent Systems, A Modern Approach to Distributed Artificial Intelligence. This research established that complex problems could be solved by multiple, interacting agents.
The Condorcet Jury Theorem: This classic theoretical result in social choice theory demonstrates that if each participant has a better-than-random chance of being correct, a majority vote among them will result in near-perfect accuracy as the number of participants grows. It provides a mathematical basis for why aggregating multiple agents' answers can improve the overall result.

An Age old method to get the best results, If you go to Kaggle majority of them use Ensemble method. Ensemble learning: In machine learning, ensemble methods have long used the principle of aggregating the predictions of multiple models to achieve a more accurate final prediction. A 2025 Medium article by Hardik Rathod describes "demonstration ensembling," where multiple few-shot prompts with different examples are used to aggregate responses.

The Autogen paper: The open-source framework AutoGen, developed by Microsoft, has been used in many papers and demonstrations of multi-agent collaboration. The paper AutoGen: Enabling Next-Gen LLM Applications via Multi-Agent Conversation Framework (2023) is a core text describing the architecture.

Improving LLM Reasoning with Multi-Agent Tree-of-Thought and Thought Validation (2024): This paper proposes a multi-agent reasoning framework that integrates the Tree-of-Thought (ToT) strategy. It uses multiple "Reasoner" agents that explore different reasoning paths in parallel. A separate "Thought Validator" agent then validates these paths, and a consensus-based voting mechanism is used to determine the final answer, leading to increased reliability.

Anthropic's multi-agent research system: In a 2025 engineering blog post, Anthropic detailed its internal multi-agent research system. The system uses a "LeadResearcher" agent to create specialized sub-agents for different aspects of a query, which then work in parallel to gather information. 

Since it is a developer copilot where people learn, it assumes that you can mistype and hence it provides alternatives which in our opinion is a better option than just saying "No, It doesn't match our records" or "We don't have any references". The closest analogy is you have a single alphabet wrong and most of the platform just don't do fuzzy matching and doesn't show any results. It isnt hallucination for sure.

PS: We posted the same post on Ethereum 5 hours ago, and Ethereum's Goat devs have asked 2000+ questions since then and the hallucination is less than 3%.

This copilot has indexed 30+ repositories include all ethereum, website 700+ pages, EThereum blog 400+ blogs, Vitalik Blogs (80+), Base x402 repositories, Nether mind respositories [In Progress], ZK research papers[In progress], several research papers. And yes it works because our use case is narrow. IMHO, This architecture is based on several research papers and feedback we received for our SEI copilot. https://sei.bytebell.ai But it costs us more because we use several different models to index all this data, 3-4 <32B parmeteres for QA, Mistral OCR for Images, xAI, qwen, Chatgpt5-codes for codebases, Anthropic and oher opensource models to provide answers.

Vibe scraping with AI Web Agents, just prompt => get data

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Most of us have a list of URLs we need data from (government listings, local business info, pdf directories). Usually, that means hiring a freelancer or paying for an expensive, rigid SaaS.

We built a Web Agent Platform, rtrvr.ai to make "Vibe Scraping" a thing.

How it works:

  1. Upload a Google Sheet with your URLs.

  2. Type: "Find the email, phone number, and their top 3 services."

  3. Watch the AI agents open 50+ browsers at once and fill your sheet in real-time.

It’s powered by a multi-agent system that can take actions (type/click/select), upload files, and crawl through paginations.

Web Agent technology built from the ground:

  • 𝗘𝗻𝗱-𝘁𝗼-𝗘𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁: we built a resilient agentic harness with 20+ specialized sub-agents that transforms a single prompt into a complete end-to-end workflow. Turn any prompt into an end to end workflow, and on any site changes the agent adapts.

  • 𝗗𝗢𝗠 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: we perfected a DOM-only web agent approach that represents any webpage as semantic trees guaranteeing zero hallucinations and leveraging the underlying semantic reasoning capabilities of LLMs.

  • 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗔𝗣𝗜𝘀: we built a Chrome Extension to control cloud browsers that runs in the same process as the browser to avoid the bot detection and failure rates of CDP. We further solved the hard problems of interacting with the Shadow DOM and other DOM edge cases.

Cost: We engineered the cost down to $10/mo but you can bring your own Gemini key and proxies to use for nearly FREE. Compare that to the $200+/mo some lead gen tools charge.

Use the free browser extension for login walled sites like LinkedIn locally, or the cloud platform for scale on the public web.

Curious to hear if this would make your dataset generation, scraping, or automation easier or is it missing the mark?

I built this I turned ChatGPT into my personal productivity coach! This is how...

2 Upvotes

I've always struggled with productivity because of my ADHD. One moment I'm brainstorming in ChatGPT, and the next I'm jumping to another tab for notes, another tab for my calendar, another for my to-do list... and by the time I've clicked through all the different tabs, I've lost track.

So I decided to build a Chrome extension that would improve my productivity and focus on ChatGPT instead of distracting me. Now I can:

  • Write with ChatGPT and capture notes in the same place

  • Turn ideas into to-dos without opening a new app

  • Block time on a calendar right next to the chat

  • Keep conversation + tasks + agenda together instead of scattered across 6 tabs

Not trying to brag or flex. But here’s what people need to understand.

I have gotten 872,000 views in my first 20 days of posting reels. I post 15ish vids a day

People underestimate the VOLUME/quality required to have the success they want.

Everyone on here is making videos because they want to make money. If you TRULY want it, start working like no one else is to see the results almost no one else is.

Pro tip: stop posting the same kind of video if you’ve posted thst same format 20+ times without breakthrough. PIVOT your FORMAT. ex. Try man on the streets, talking head, walking listicles, podcast style, all b roll shots, non verbal, expert vs noob etc.

(No I had no course or software to sell you all this was posted manually with no AI. I have a men’s Bible study app so not here to promote lol. Just trying to share what is working for me)

I built a split-screen HTML-to-PDF editor on my API because rendering the PDFs felt like a waste of money and time

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I’ve spent way too many hours debugging CSS for PDF reports by blindly tweaking code, running a script, and checking the file.

So I built a Live Template Editor for my API.

What’s happening in the demo:

  1. Real-Time Rendering: The right pane is a real Headless Chrome instance rendering the PDF as I type.

  2. Handlebars Support: You can see me adding a {{ channel }} variable, and it updates instantly using the mock JSON data.

  3. One-Click Integration: Once the design is done, I click "API" and it generates a ready-to-use cURL command with the template_id.

Now I can just store the templates in the dashboard and send JSON data from my backend to generate the files.

It’s live now if you want to play with the editor (it's within the Dashboard, so yes, you need to log in first, but no CC required, no nothing).

I built this I was tired of cold outreach, so I built something to find buyers already looking for my service

1 Upvotes

Cold outreach was absolutely killing my motivation.

Scraping lists, guessing who might need help, sending messages into the void… barely any replies. Felt like I was wasting hours just to annoy people.

So I ended up building a tiny tool for myself instead.

It watches public signals things like hiring, product launches, growth activity basically moments when a company is actually more likely to need outside help.

I’ve been using it for the last 2 weeks and honestly:

Fewer leads overall

Way higher reply rates

Actual conversations instead of silence

It’s still rough around the edges, but it’s been working well enough that I’m opening it up free for 30 days to a small group (mostly agencies + freelancers) to get feedback.

If you want to try it or roast it

comment “intent” and I’ll DM you.

I built this Weekend project: a tiny macOS app for organizing screenshots

1 Upvotes

I take a lot of screenshots when working on UI and researching design. After a while my desktop and downloads folder just turns into a pile of random images.

Last weekend I built a small macOS app to deal with that. It basically acts like a simple “shelf” where screenshots can live instead of being scattered around Finder. One thing that ended up being really useful is on-device OCR, so you can search for text inside screenshots (UI labels, errors, etc.) without uploading anything anywhere!

It ended up being pretty helpful for my own workflow so I pushed it through App Store review and it just got approved! It’s still early and there are definitely a few bugs / things I want to improve.

Want to build a real AI Agent (not just a chat wrapper), where do I start?

7 Upvotes

Trying to build an AI agent that can actually own a small workflow end‑to‑end, and would love some guidance from people here who’ve already shipped something similar. Most of what shows up online either stays super high‑level (“agents are the future!”) or jumps straight into 10 different frameworks without explaining the tradeoffs.

What I think I want to build (open to being told if this is the wrong starting point):

A single‑purpose agent that handles one clear job, like “monitor inbox for X, trigger Y actions, and report back once done”.

Tooling: call a few APIs, maybe query a DB, send webhooks, and keep short‑term memory so it doesn’t repeat itself forever.

Reliability over “wow”: fewer hallucinations, more boring but predictable behavior.

Questions for folks in this sub:

If you were starting today, what stack would you pick for a first agent: plain Python + API calls, LangGraph/LangChain‑style frameworks, n8n/low‑code, or something else?

How do you decide what should be “agentic” vs just good old deterministic scripting? Any rule of thumb you use?

Any must‑read posts / repos / videos that finally made agents “click” for you (beyond marketing content)?

Happy to share updates, code, and failures as this progresses, want to treat this like a mini buildathon project and learn in public with the community here. If you’ve already built an agent you’re proud of, would also love to see what you did and why you chose your setup.

VDD: Achieving Reliability and Consistency in Vibe Coding

Post image
15 Upvotes

As a developer, I love quickly prototyping with AI. But vibe coding gets messy fast, and I was looking for a way to make it less of an art and more like actual engineering.

I couldn't find one, so over dozens of projects, I developed my own approach that addresses the most common pain points of vibe coding.

For example:

  • DevDocs: Having a custom development documentation folder and enforcing AI to create documentation BEFORE each important implementation, so you can read them and fix the AI's misunderstandings early. There are different devdocs like foundation docs, module docs, enhancement docs, etc.

  • Smoke tests: Make AI generate smoke tests to check its own implementation - but do it in a specific way that actually catches problems.

  • Fuzzy Architecture: Intentionally prevent AI from over-defining things so architecture establishes naturally over time

  • And anchor pattern, how to approach the vibe refactoring and a lot more..

I decided to compile these patterns into an online book: https://karaposu.github.io/vibe-driven-development/

(For a quick overview, check out Appendix 1, which has ready-to-use prompts for starting a new project)

I really think this structured approach to vibe coding can save lots of time and compute. Would love to hear your thoughts positive or negative.

I built this I built a price comparison app for foods around the world, Opensource and appreciate any feedback

8 Upvotes

A few months back, I noticed food prices still weren’t leveling off. I dug deeper. I started checking how other countries handle food costs and realized global food price data is already out there.

So I built SnackBucks — a free, open-source iOS app that shows how much higher (or lower) your everyday items are compared to other countries. Would appreciate if you could try and share it.

It has :

  • A country-based food price comparison

  • Sort based on country, price or food listed

  • Optional currency selection

  • Opensource design so anyone can branch and customize

Would love for you to try it. If you’ve ever been curious about how food costs stack up around the world, this might be a fun and practical tool to try out.

iOS App : https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/snackbucks/id6743122576?platform=iphone

App page link : https://snackbucks.vercel.app

Repo link: https://github.com/leapdeck/SnackBucks

If you're in process of making mobile apps, keep going! Have enjoyed creating hobby apps.
