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.

Thanks!

This looks awesome - might I suggest splitting the headlines on the homepage into a punchy title and subtitle? The wordiness of them makes it difficult for me to parse them for the topic quickly

Thanks! We got a couple different formats available, check out the top stories format which is close to what you suggest. Would love to hear your thoughts on it! We’re considering making that the default.

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.

There’s definitely a need here, love the category specific TLDs.

Thanks. I'm starting to realize that part of the problem is job search and matching. I was contacted by a company recruiter for a small healthcare SaaS in California and had 3 interviews recently. When I looked up the job, only 7 people had applied in 2 weeks on LinkedIn. They are a very real company with very real people, but their job post is not getting seen (it's not a promoted post). My next AI project will be t…

... btw. are you sure that only 7 people applied for that job? Because there are a lot of job announcements on LinkedIn which just won't show the number of applicants correctly in case there's an application link outside of LinkedIn for applying, meaning the application doesn't take place within LinkedIn. In that case, you'll get the question by LinkedIn if you have applied for the job, which most people just won't c…

That's a good point about the applicant number. I don't think anyone knows exactly how it works, but it was the first time I saw a job posting older than a few hours with <10 applicants with such straightforward skills such as Python.

Just played with your app, I think is super cool! I especially liked the way that you can just click the next question within an answer, makes it super convenient and fun to use. I'm currently also looking for a dev job. So you have 15 years of experience, live in California and struggle to find something? That sounds a bit demotivating to me lol, because I'm kinda half of all of that or a bit less. I also like your…

I'm looking for remote dev job, which is much harder, since I am in Sacramento.

I built a tool that uses LLMs to write a literature review on any research topic. (https://www.epsilon-ai.com).

It gives back ChatGPT styled answers, but they contain citations to underlying academic articles so that you know the claims are valid. Clicking on the reference actually takes you directly the paragraph in the source material where the claim was found.

I built Joke-Understander bot, a Mastodon bot that responds to a joke setup before the punchline is revealed. It's not very popular but I think it's hilarious. https://botsin.space/@jokeunderstander It's just a bash script that calls ollama on my desktop PC every morning and schedules a handful of posts on the Mastodon server.

I think this is the best thing in this whole thread. It's hilarious! I really love it. Thanks for sharing!

Lots of small stuff like bots and scripts to automatically rename files that I use locally every single day Then things like: “Fix My Japanese” - uses LLM to correct Japanese grammar (built with Elixir LiveView): https://fixmyjapanese.com It has different “Senseis” that are effectively different LLMs, each with slightly different style. One is Claude, one is ChatGPT. Or a slack bot that summarizes long threads: https…

Love this, and love that you're using Elixir LiveView as well as Elixir with the Slack bot and lastly that you're based in Tokyo. Followed you on Github, I'm looking at moving (back) to Japan in two years, likely to start a bootstrapped startup business and always good to have dev friends!

Thanks :)

We build https://aichat.realtimex.co, a customer support AI working along side Human Agents. It's a RAG system with embeddings built from crawling pages of the website and user-uploaded documents including dynamic databases (such as products and pricing). The key difference with other LLM's CS products is the collaboration between the AI Agents and Human Agents. We are inspired by aircraft's pilots and autopilots collaboration. In this case, the AI and Human Agents silently collaborate to bring the best support to customers.
