My "stack" is just Apple Shortcuts making HTTP POST API calls to OpenAI, which does stuff in MacOS via BetterTouchTool. I trigger each by hotkey or typing a few letter into Spotlight (with Alfred). One transcribes and summarizes whatever youtube URL is highlighted. One does grammar and style correction of whatever is highlighted (and replaces it). One simply replaces the Dictate key with OpenAI Whisper but otherwise…

These sound amazing, if you don’t mind sharing somehow, I’d love to see how these work. I’ve never used shortcuts, but I think you’ve inspired me to try.

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…

I'd buy that. I'd buy that for interview preparation as well. Maybe 5$ per hour, up to 15$. I wouldn't buy a subscription, only actual consumption of the service.

Please consider putting it in online.

I built https://HackYourNews.com to summarize the top HN stories and their comments.

This is a cool project! Love the fact that some comment summaries are added too. I hope you would continue building it, and also make the text easier to read- like by making the page fixed-width.

I'm working on Invoker Network.

A Decentralised AI App store with cross border micro transactions.

You will be able to sell your LLM output (could be multi modal) for dollars or you decide. (LLMs working on your infra, you can keep weights for yourself forever.)

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 pretty cool. Just a heads up: there's a french newsletter company I was subscribed to that is using brief.eco, brief.me and brief.science. Ironically, their main selling point is summarized news but by humans.

I've built a tool to help students in the note-taking process.

It is https://cmaps.io

Can the smart folks on HN point out to a good resource or a collection of resource for a software engineer to get up to speed with LLMs and Gen AI concepts, and understand basic deployments and use cases?

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…

Very cool, sounds like a saleable product. I feel like there's already half a dozen landing pages with people trying to sell what you just made in the 18 hours since you've shared it here. That should however be a red flag to those same people, a demonstration in just how easily commoditized LLM products are.

Found myself needing to find emojis relevant to a specific theme and wanted to play with OpenAI's API. So, I built https://emojisearch.fun

I generate and sell books that summarize historical events. I was actually ready to launch last month until I realized I could generate extremely realistic photographs in Midjourney and splice them between paragraphs using a simple python script, so I went back and did another pass.

My process involves generating chapters as markdown, using a script to join chapters together, and then finally converting the markdown to ebooks using Gitbook.
