A search engine that saves me time by detecting SEO spam, downranks results containing ads, and summarizes click bait descriptions away I made it available to the public aisearch.vip

I like how a few comments in this thread are the cause of the problem you're fighting.

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…

I will check this out. My native Japanese wife rolls her eyes at any AI Japanese bot. "We would never say it that way."

I am stunned at how few people are sharing projects using LLMs for real estate. I own the domain homestocompare and I am working on a project that will use AI to help compare homes. Unfortunately I don't have a working demo yet but please reach out to me if you would be interested in finding out more.

I've been building data projects for real estate for a while and applying LLM's for conversational products but I've never mixed both of them. I think something like a conversational buying/renting assistant could be feasible but I don't think it's something interesting to monetize.

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 would be amazing to do practice code/tech interviews for software engineering roles

It could work both for practice and for automating interviews as well

Me and a friend built Mysterian. It allows you to draft AI replies, summarize emails, and chat with your inbox.

We used Plasmo to build the chrome extension, React for the frontend, and currently OpenAI as the LLM provider.

Currently it only works with Gmail but we plan on adding other email providers as well.

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…

What are the settings and prompt you use for the youtube one?

I wrote a script that takes in my credit card statement line by line and categorized the transactions into a custom set of categories that I cared about as well as generating a human readable description of the transaction.

I'd love to see the script but especially the prompt you're using here.

What kinds of prompts are using for the file renaming scripts?

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…

Would you mind sharing the cookbook or excerpts from it? I'd love to see it.

I cannot share the full book because a) I don't own the copyright and b) My dad (who ultimately owns it) still has plans to put sell it. And I feel it still requires some editing. But I can share a couple of sample pages:

It is in Spanish though.

Have you tried Raycast? It has all the AI scripts you mentioned and many more. And many things done better, like showing diff before inserting grammar-corrected text.
