I made some LLM-powered text-adventure games: https://cosmictrip.space/gameannouncement

And I'm working on a webapp that is a kanban board where LLM and human collaborate to build features in code. I just got a cool thing working there: like everyone, having LLM generate new code is easy but modifying code is hard. So my attempt at working on modifying code with LLM is starting with HTML and having GPT-4 write beautfulsoup code that then makes the desired modification to the HTML file. Will do with js, python via ast, etc. No link for this one yet :) still in development.

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 really neat!

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…

That's cool. Thanks for sharing the source. What else has it been good at for you?

I've built several things! These include bots for code generation that you can tag onto issues, q&a on text etc.

The thing I'm working on now is AI mock interviewing. It's basically scratching my own itch, since I hate leetcode prep, and have found I can learn better through interaction. To paste a blurb from an earlier comment of mine:

I'm building https://comp.lol. It's AI powered mock coding interviews, FAANG style. Looking for alpha testers when I release, sign up if you wanna try it out or just wanna try some mock coding. If its slow to load, sorry, everything runs on free tiers right now.

I really dislike doing leetcode prep, and I can't intuitively understand the solutions by just reading them. I've found the best way for me to learn is to seriously try the problem (timed, interview like conditions), and be able to 'discuss' with the interviewer without just jumping to reading the solution. Been using and building this as an experiment to try prepping in a manner I like.

It's not a replacement for real mock interviews - I think those are still the best, but they're expensive and time consuming. I'm hoping to get 80% of the benefit in an easier package.

I just put a waitlist in case anyone wants to try it out and give me feedback when I get it out

Gonna apologize in advance about the copywriting. Was more messing around for my own amusement, will probably change later

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 am going to use LangSmith for observability.

I started writing and my Substack articles are also linked to via my website. I'm currently working on applying sentence window retrieval and that article will be out shortly. This is part of a #buildinpublic effort to help build my brand as well.

I've been unemployed since Sept as a Senior Software Engineer. The market is tough so I'm focusing on the above to help get employment or a contract.

A chrome extension to ask about selected text with a right click. https://github.com/SMUsamaShah/LookupChatGPT

A chrome extension to show processed video overlay on YouTube to highlight motion.

A script to show stories going up and down on HN front page. This one just took 1 prompt.
