I've done a handful of fun hardware + LLM projects... * I built a real life Pokedex to recognize Pokemon [video] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVcerPofkE0 * I used ChatGPT to filter nice comments and print them in my office [video] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AonMzGUN9gQ * I built a general purpose chat assistant into an old intercom [video] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zDdpeTdv84 Again, nothing terribly us…

Oh hey I just watched that pokedex video. It was so impressive! Deserves way more attention

I'm building https://www.brief.news , an AI powered newsletter that condenses tens of thousands of news articles into a daily briefing of the top stories, we support 30 topics today and are adding the ability to add your own! Stack is a combination of TypeScript (Next / Node) + Python with a pretty simple deployment setup right now (GHA -> Container -> Cloud Run).

This is fairly well done, good job!

The layout is clean, and it's fast. The summaries are solid as well.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

So the AI tries to sell to you, or you try to sell to the AI? This sounds very intriguing but I can tell by your README that you're an engineer and not a sales guy - there are no distinct value propositions. But it sounds damn creative as a project.

The AI answers the call and acts as a potential customer. They take on personas to simulate behaviors like difficult or reluctant customers. You then do your pitch, handle objections, etc. At the end you get a transcript that's 'graded' to show you where you could improve your sales approach. And you're right, I'm not a sales guy. This project is for people like me who want a risk-free place to learn the basics of sa…

> a risk-free place to learn

That's turning out to be a valuable feature of LLMs in many areas. You can practice complex interactions with them without worrying about boring or annoying them. Even the most patient human teacher gets tired eventually. LLMs don't.

I’ve always found podcast discovery to be lacking, so I’m building the ultimate solution to that.

We’re processing the top podcasts in many genres every day (currently thousands of daily episodes) and running them through our pipeline.

From this we’ve made a semantic search engine, for example: https://www.podengine.ai/podcasts/search?search_term=Should+...

We’re soon going to improve and summarise the responses from the raw embeddings in a few ways. Would love some feedback on the experience.

We have also opened up a keyword alerting feature to alert folks when they’ve been talked about in an episode.

We're building a GPT for managing your finances. https://candle.fi/gpt Our backend stack: - AWS - SST - TypeScript Our clients: - Next (web) - Vanilla React Native (mobile) OpenAI's App Store announcement is what got us interested in building w/ LLMs.

link seems broken to me.

I built an AI Hiring Assistant that performs an initial screening, collects candidate information, answers questions about the role, and also asks a several behavioral interview questions: https://hiring.gracekelly.dev/ Built entirely on Vercel & OpenAI. Took about a day, hardest part was configuring Sign In With Google. Had several dozen candidates use it, saved a lot of time and helped prioritize conversations. I j…

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.

I know of a few startups doing this, but have used Grain and have enjoyed the experience quite a bit.
