I built a powerful medical news survey report writer:

https://github.com/impredicative/newssurvey

It is to be extended to other sites as well. If you read the generated sample reports, you will see how it has potential to change lives.

Unlike much of the commercial stuff that people make, which almost nobody ends up using, the best part is that it is open source.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is what I thought the future will be like since years ago. Everybody is going to be harmless since llms will translate and cushion, or outright censor any problematic communication.

I explored whether this could be helpful in an online dispute resolution platform. The system could detect insulting or angry messages that threaten to derail a conversation, and suggest a more neutral way of formulating them. I think it's promising! https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.16732

Next step is just re-writing on the receiving end.

I built Audiala [1][2][3], which is a platform that creates virtual tour guides that goes with you anywhere in the world. While the content is mostly static now, the pipeline is there to make it entirely personal for each user, once I figured out how to deal with the API costs. The next steps are to adapt the content based on realtime user feedback or queries like "What happened on this street during the French Revol…

Tried the app, it's impressive already

I built a native all-in-one AI client called BoltAI[0]

It’s one of the first AI clients I think. I’ve been working on it for 16 months and shipped more than 100 releases.

It started with the idea of invoking an LLM within the Apple Notes app. I hate going back-and-forth between the Notes app and ChatGPT web app.

So I built the “AI inline” feature where I can trigger a keyboard shortcut and it would send the prompt to OpenAI and get the answer back.

But this is quite advanced, not many users can use it.

So later I added the full Chat UI.

I don’t want to charge a subscription and manage AI tokens so I sell perpetual licenses with 1 year of update. Users bring their own API keys.

As an all-in-one client, it unlocks some interesting features that I didn’t expect in the beginning: the ability to switch between multiple AI services and models.

This allows me to use Web Browsing with Claude, for example.

I later added support for Function Calling and this has unlocked many capabilities: edit video with ffmpeg plugin (give instructions to the LLM and it would execute the ffmpeg command locally), search the web using advanced search engine such as Kagi, WolframAlpha, Analyze documents and source code similarly to Claude Project…

And finally I added the AI Command feature where you can prompt directly with the highlighted text. Imagine you’re reading an article and wanted to list key takeaways, you can press a keyboard shortcut, choose the command and it would show you a quick answer. You can build any command you want: from summarization to translation or grammar fix…

I also built another free app called ShotSolve[1]. It allows you to take a screenshot with a keyboard shortcut and quickly analyze it with an LLM.

During building BoltAI, a customer asked for the ability to analyze PDF documents so I decided to build another app for that use case called PDF Pals[2]

These apps allow me to quit my job and pursue solopreneurship full time.

I built Heuristica for learning and research using concept maps powered by LLMs. It is a different kind of interface for using LLMs. Instead of having linear conversations, you can have visual explorations that let you structure, organize, and retain knowledge much better.

I have been working on it on the side for the last 17 months.

It's really fun to use mind maps and visualizations, I must try it, and I want to know if the final document can be exported to Markdown?

I made an extension [1] to summarise terms and conditions of your current webpage. After reading the recent news related to disney+, the idea struck me what all unusual clauses websites put in their T&Cs.

It currently doesn't work on some sites.

Yep, Markdown and Image exports are currently supported. Feel free to let me know what you think of it!
