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…

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

Nobody heard of Raycast?

We're building a GPT for managing your finances. https://candle.fi/gpt Our backend stack: - AWS - SST - TypeScript Our clients: - Next (web) - Vanilla React Native (mobile) OpenAI's App Store announcement is what got us interested in building w/ LLMs.

Why not show names and faces of the founders? Explain the backstory. Using your service requires users put absolutely enormous trust in you. But there is currently nothing on the site to engender that trust. I would work on that as a priority.

I appreciate the feedback; I'm working on adding an about page!

We have an /updates page & blog, as well as links to GitHub. I figured finding out more about myself and my co-founder was pretty easy.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OGE-zfNHHDnALbhgmf3lykBjcSg... It is in Spanish though.

Very cool, thanks for sharing! The pictures also look a lot better than I imagined.

I built a completely useless ai phone bot. You call it and ask it a question, and it responds with an answer that always involves sandwiches. It adds no value beyond entertainment, but I suppose it does do that.

Link? (I mean: Phone number?)

I have not. It looks like it just does some things Alfred was already doing 10 years earlier, and some ChatGPT. Seems like everything has ChatGPT integration these days. I don't think it's compelling enough for me to try tho personally, but I only skimmed the home page. The $8/mo subscription model turned me off a bit.

I'm interested in RAG, so I make benchmarking & optimization tool for RAG system that using LLM. AutoRAG : https://github.com/Marker-Inc-Korea/AutoRAG

Since it is python library, we deploy it to pypi. But for using it on my own, I am using H100 linux server on the torch docker & CUDA. Running it needs only vim and bash. And plus, for running local model I love VLLM. I make my own VLLM Dockerfile and use it for deploying local model in 5 minutes.

FYI : Borrowing whole H100 instance is really expensive, but in my hometown, the government support us the instance for researching AI.

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…

Now you can turn this into an AI sales cold caller based on the data you could collect from how the AI reacts to your selling. That is to say, the entire system becomes a generative adversarial network.
