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.

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…

I have looking for a way to do "push to record audio" (instead of Mac's dictate) for ages , thanks for the push to look at Shortcuts! Are you using the "Record Audio" action or something else? Ideally the shortcut would stop listening after a pause like the native Dictate feature does it. At a minimum Record Audio seems to require hitting spacebar to stop - not great but not terrible.

Yes, "Record audio". BetterTouchTool launches the shortcut on keydown, then clicks the Stop button on keyup.

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…

Nicely done Jon. I really like the UI - I wanted to have buttons as well but didn't find how to do it in Streamlit.

I also built Resume Chatbot but using slightly different stack: Python, Langchain, Faiss as vector store, MongoDB to store chat logs and Streamlit for UI. Here is a link: https://www.artkreimer.com/resume/ or you can try it on streamlit https://art-career-bot.streamlit.app/. Code is available here https://github.com/kredar/data_analytics/tree/master/career_.... Great thread and I got some ideas for my next project. Thanks a lot everyone.

Created an AI explainer app that helps you understand a topic, kind of like Perplexity.

It's currently free to use. Its built using nextjs+tailwind and is powered by Vercel + Brave + Gemini Pro. https://xplained.vercel.app

There are other projects that I worked on as part of my job, mostly around bots, search, classification, and analytics.

Would love to learn more details about your setup! I use BetterTouchTool, too and wonder how to make use of it + shortcuts + the API

You might want BetterTouchTool too, since it adds things like cut and paste, to Apple Shortcuts All Actions list. I also use it as the initial trigger usually, to make a hotkey launch a Shortcut. Whisper looks like this https://i.imgur.com/ApAwf2E.png and ChatGPT looks like this https://i.imgur.com/g9f9ZDH.png .

Could you please share the prompt for the grammar and style correction shortcut? I've just started using it for the same purpose, but I haven't been able to find a prompt that yields consistent results. Sometimes, ChatGPT completely changes the style of my text.

I use role: system, temperature 0.7, prompt: Fix the spelling, grammar, punctuation, order, and sentence structure. It's does sometimes change the style too much, but not often enough to annoy me into fiddling with it.

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

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…

I had a similar idea. Scraping LinkedIn and some other job boards and analyzing and highlighting jobs that best fit specific criterias.

I really love that, super good ideas. I also generally love to create workflow optimizations. Will probably create some of your stuff for myself (I especially like the dictation replacement, could be super useful to me). Wondering: How big is you monthly OpenAI bill when using all these tools? Only a few $$$, or is it higher?

Only a few dollars a month

Hey Jon - I'm Jon too - working on an AI startup in the recruiting space and will be hiring remotely. I like your resume ap and can definitely see utility in it. I'd be happy to connect and maybe see if there is a way we could work together! I'll find you on LinkedIn and send you an invite request.

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.

I put couple screenshots here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39283515 to show the API call part. The rest is just whatever you want it to feed into in Shortcuts. For launching a shortcut on keydown, and clicking out of it on keyup, I used BetterTouchTool like this https://i.imgur.com/sqJ7cOc.png
