I don't like selling. I wanted a way to practice cold calling in a realistic way. I set up a phone number you can call and talk to an AI that simulates sales calls. I ended up using it for more general purpose things because being able to have a hands-free phone call with an AI turned out to be pretty useful. It's offline now, but here's the code with all the stack and deployment info: https://github.com/kevingduck/C…

Now you can turn this into an AI sales cold caller based on the data you could collect from how the AI reacts to your selling. That is to say, the entire system becomes a generative adversarial network.

I've created just-tell-me [1] that summarizes youtube videos with ChatGPT. It's built with Deno, uses TypeScript and is deployed with Deno Deploy. It's open source, you can run it from CLI as well [2] [1] https://just-tell-me.deno.dev/ [2] https://github.com/franekmagiera/just-tell-me

This is great! I ignore so many videos from friends and family because I suck at watching videos!

Perhaps a follow on question, as I presume a lot of people reading the comments are looking for inspiration to build things (and those building might not want to reveal yet) what would you like to see built with the capabilities provided by LLMs?

AI/ML that reads my zsh history and suggests automations or other time-savers when asked.

Something that reads my teams and outlook, and listens to meetings, and takes notes / remembers stuff for me.

LLMs have been game changing productivity-wise for me

But I found that LLMs are often wrong and hallucinates, so I have to double check with google or other resources.

So I built a google and chatgpt alternative to answer any question and hallucinations are more obvious. I do this by using by multiple LLM's including search enabled ones i.e. GPT4, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Mistral, and Llama.

It's been growing healthily https://labophase.com

I'm building a weight-loss app that leverages LLM to do 2 things: 1. Analyze calories/macronutrients from a text description or photo 2. Provide onboarding/feedback/conversations like you'd get from a nutritionist https://www.fatgpt.ai/ My stack is Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, OpenAI APIs. I chose Rails because I'm very fast in it, but I've found the combination of Rails+Sidekiq+ActionCable is really nice for building…

> 1. Analyze calories/macronutrients from a text description or photo

Step 1: Is it a hot dog or not hot dog? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACmydtFDTGs

I'm glad someone is keeping the dream alive!

A BERT-based summarization system for financial earnings calls. It can take a 60-minute transcripts of such meetings can compress the contents down into 5 bullet points.

https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-28238-6_...

Financial earnings calls are important events in investment managements: CEOs and CFOs present the results of the recent quarter, and a few invited analysts ask them questions at the end in a Q&A block.

Because this is very different prose from news, traditional summarization methods fail. So we pre-trained a transformer from scratch with a ton of high-quality (REUTERS only) finance news and then fine-tuned with a large (100k sentences) self-curated corpus of expert-created summaries.

We also implemented a range of other systems for comparison.

AI concierge for my parents’ vacation rental. Mostly just pulling info from the guest binder, but I’ve also started using some local guides to give better suggestions. Built with NextJs and deployed on Vercel (was really easy and they have a generous free tier).

I wrote a script that takes in my credit card statement line by line and categorized the transactions into a custom set of categories that I cared about as well as generating a human readable description of the transaction.

Tell me more, that is interesting. Even my bank (a big one) is unable to categorize the transactions correctly.

I was tired of the need to scroll through dozens of blogs and RSS feeds to learn about technologies and industry news, so I’ve built a service that helps you learn and stay updated about any topic by sending a single fully personalized weekly email digest, making relevant information come to you, instead of you chasing it (push vs pull): https://peekly.ai It’s basically an LLM-based RAG that works over the best blogs…

I'm unable to submit my email/interests.
