I helped "writing" a cookbook from my grandmother's recipes. For her 100th birthday, my dad rescued more than 250+ pages of recipes that my Grandma had collected over the years. Some were written in typing machine, others written by hand by her. So, my dad scanned (pictured) all the typed recipes, and "dictated" all the handwritten. For the dictated recipes, I told him to dictate just "flat" the words and numbers. So…

This is absolutely awesome. I really want to do the same for my mom’s recipe before it’s too late. Though I wonder what would have happened if you went for GPT-V or LLaVa and the like. I have a hunch you might have been able to skip over the OCR part and straight from picture to markdown? Would be awesome if you can try and compare!

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…

Would you be willing provide a live demo (via web interface) - as a preludebto providing a similar training bot as a consultant?

I built an Interactive Resume AI chatbot where anyone can ask questions about my experience and skills: https://www.jon-olson.com/resume_ai/ The backend is a Python FastAPI that uses ChromaDB to store my resume and Q&A pairs, OpenAI, and Airtable to log requests and responses. The UI is Sveltekit. I'm currently building a different tool and will apply some learnings to my Interactive Resume AI. Instead of Airtable, I…

I’m sorry it’s been tough. The job market for seniors and leads is still quite strong in Australia if you can move here

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…

This could be a product. AI sales training.

I got fed up sending cover letters so I made a tool that writes them for me. Scrapes the company website and summarizes it to get relevant background info, takes my resume + arbitrary info I provide as input, and the job posting (can also work without for unsolicited applications). I then fine-tuned a GPT3 model on actual cover letters I had written to make it sound like me, and voilà ! Actually landed me a job.

I am working on a RAG based chatbot to answer the queries based on contents of my main website and blog which is fintech related .

I would also in future try to make it generic so that it can crawl any website and store new contents in vector databases. Response to user query then can be returned by combining the vector search and llm
