Finding the right Python package on PyPI can be a bit difficult, since PyPI isn't really designed for discovering packages easily. For example, you can search for the word "plot" and get a list of hundreds of packages that contain the word "plot" in seemingly random order.Inspired by [this blog post](https://koaning.io/posts/search-boxes/) about finding arXiv articles using vector embeddings, I decided to build a small application that helps you find Python packages with a similar approach. For example, you can ask it "I want to make nice plots and visualizations", and it will provide you with a short list of packages that can help you with that.You can try it out at https://pypiscout.com

Within the show hn launch space, the company focuses on its core offering rather than a broad product line.

It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.
