πŸš€ Your AI toolkit just got a major upgrade! I updated the Journalists on Hugging Face community's collection with tools for investigative work, content creation, and data analysis.

Sharing these new additions with the links in case it’s helpful:
- @wendys-llc 's excellent 6-part video series on AI for investigative journalism https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLewNEVDy7gq1_GPUaL0OQ31QsiHP5ncAQ
- @jeremycaplan 's curated AI Spaces on HF https://wondertools.substack.com/p/huggingface
- @Xenova 's Whisper Timestamped (with diarization!) for private, on-device transcription Xenova/whisper-speaker-diarization & Xenova/whisper-word-level-timestamps
- Flux models for image gen & LoRAs autotrain-projects/train-flux-lora-ease
- FineGrain's object cutter finegrain/finegrain-object-cutter and object eraser (this one's cool) finegrain/finegrain-object-eraser
- FineVideo: massive open-source annotated dataset + explorer HuggingFaceFV/FineVideo-Explorer
- Qwen2 chat demos, including 2.5 & multimodal versions (crushing it on handwriting recognition) Qwen/Qwen2.5 & Qwen/Qwen2-VL
- GOT-OCR integration stepfun-ai/GOT_official_online_demo
- HTML to Markdown converter maxiw/HTML-to-Markdown
- Text-to-SQL query tool by @davidberenstein1957 for HF datasets davidberenstein1957/text-to-sql-hub-datasets

There's a lot of potential here for journalism and beyond. Give these a try and let me know what you build!

You can also add your favorite ones if you're part of the community!

🚨 Cool tool alert! 🚨

Finally tried Kotaemon, an open-source RAG tool for document chat!

With local models, it's free and private. Perfect for journalists and researchers.

I put Kotaemon to the test with EPA's Greenhouse Gas Inventory. Accurately answered questions on CO2 percentage in 2022 emissions and compared 2022 vs 2021 data

πŸ› οΈ Kotaemon's no-code interface makes it user-friendly.
- Use your own models or APIs from OpenAI or Cohere
- Great documentation & easy installation
- Multimodal capabilities + reranking
- View sources, navigate docs & create graphRAG

🌟 Kotaemon is gaining traction with 11.3k GitHub stars
