We all wanted our own space ships at some point in our childhood , right ? We fulfilled your dream guys ! No kidding . We at hydrus are trying to showcase the abilities of parser and agent by using this demo .

One of the aims of this demo was to allow users and devs to understand the concept or what hydrus is trying to achieve quickly and in a fun way , this would encourage people to help us push hydrus to another level in terms of general adoption.

For now we were focussing on single server single client , but connecting to multiple servers at once should be a trivial task . We allow users to convert existing open api doc to hydra doc and starting a hydrus server using this doc in a single command , users can then head over to the web interface and just enter the URL of server and connect to it . The hydra-agent is amazing in its querying abilities and allows any user to query any server using natural language like commands. You might want to read the above line again to understand how amazing that is !

We have successfully connected the parser , agent , flask server and the web interface and its working like a charm , we just need to work on the UI a bit more and on some other general things . We are also implementing a autocomplete functionality to assist the users in typing the command . We have also thought of a tool tip tutorial for new users to assist them getting a hang of the web interface .

According to our meeting last monday , we should be able to get the demo running perfectly by 6th , stay tuned guys ! lots of amazing stuff coming !
