Hashnode Rix is a developer-focused AI-powered search engine offering a refined and efficient search experience with two primary modes: Web-search and GPT-knowledge.

In the Web-search mode, users can access the latest information on any topic of interest. Conversely, the GPT-knowledge mode provides instant answers based on pre-trained knowledge.

For added convenience, Rix offers a browser extension, ensuring quick access to its functionality. When logged in, developers can save their conversations and retrieve them from any location. To foster support and collaboration, the tool seamlessly integrates with Discord.

Rix simplifies searches for specific technologies through popular site shortcuts, covering technologies like Next.js, Python, React, Node.js, Express.js, Java, TailwindCSS, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, GraphQL, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

The search engine also elevates the chat experience by providing various modes: “Quick,” “Web-search,” and “Code Writer,” each serving distinct purposes. Quick mode delivers prompt answers, Web-search mode retrieves web-based information, while Code Writer assists in code generation, modification, and visualization.

One standout feature allows users to paste a GitHub gist link and receive a code summary, facilitating code comprehension, modification, and enhancement.

Moreover, Rix supports article and web page summarization by pasting the URL into the search bar. Users can pose follow-up questions about the content. Furthermore, the “site:” feature narrows search results to a specific website, optimizing research efforts and time management.
