Siftler started as an AI prompt. Now it is also a Python script. The same collaborative filtering algorithm, running locally on your computer. Persistent, deterministic, and free of AI.
Siftler is a collaborative filtering algorithm for information feeds that surfaces links your most trusted sources find worth reading, without profiling or engagement optimisation. Today I'm releasing the first public version of an AI prompt you can run in Claude. Open source, AGPL-3.0, on Codeberg.
Together with a team from the South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences, I am working on making an open-source system for transparent recommendation algorithms available, based on collaborative filtering. It helps people discover personalized information based on links shared by others with similar information consumption patterns.
