How are you using ChatGPT? AFAIK, there's no API for ChatGPT yet.

Hey, OpenAI provides an API here https://openai.com/api/ which give you access to a host of cool features and models. It's what we use.

Just to be clear those are APIs for GPT-3 not ChatGPT specifically.

I want to hear more about the privacy policy before I use it.

Hey, That's a very valid question. Especially since there's the potential to input sensitive information. We're just at the start, so we've totally missed on creating a privacy policy. It'll be on our todo list asap. That being said, the app is a React front-end that talks to ChatGPT apis. We don't store any info about what you're inputting or log anything more than analytics (and your email, if you chose to subscrib…

I would also appreciate if you give the ability to upload a PDF directly for resume.

I get the idea, the motivation behind it, but as an employee, the first time I get an AI-generated performance report on myself is the day I change company. Can't be bothered to offer a real, human experience when providing performance reviews ? Then I won't bother to work. HR is one of the area where chatbots should NOT be reigning. It is literally named "Human Resources".

I don’t understand the cynicism. Are you also the type to say “can’t be bothered to properly indent your code? Forget formatters; you should be out of work.” If you check out the actual website you’ll see that you’re still expected to fill in all the correct information. It just translated what you write (ie point form) into a different format. I find this tool very useful because I’m expected to write half a dozen p…

Then just send the point form. You'll gain time by not having to write the word stuffing, they'll gain time by not having to read the word stuffing.

This is just adding noise to the signal, if you don't even bother to write the text why would someone bother reading it ? It's annoying for everyone and doesn't add any value

The output I just got was a combination of information I provided in the form, and fabrications. This is another example of "AI" behaving like something that should be fired, or set on fire.

I'm very curious about the fabrications part.

From my own dog fooding, I was able to come to these conclusions:

- if you provide no input, it's going to fabricate (trying as much as possible to fill in all the blanks)

- if you provide a decent amount of input, then it'll just act as a tool to fill out missing words

The second part is a bit tricky, and it's what we've tried to improve on with the UI. Even if you provide enough info, it can still be too terse to begin with. And there's a chance it'll fabricate things.

That's why we've added tools to edit any output and to expand on sections. The idea being to get you 90% of the way there, and allow you to add finishing touches and edits and still be truthful. Basically, an iterative process.

Admittedly, it is work in progress.

Do you have any examples of fabrications and stuff that was so off the mark compared to what you would've expected? Appreciate it's a big ask, but genuinely curious.

Hey, that's a great idea.

Basically:

- upload a version of an existing PDF resume

- let the tool help you expand on it

- download a - hopefully - more satisfying version of your resume

did I get the gist of it right?

I will definitely add it to our roadmap.

Hey Hacker News, This is a small tool my brother and I worked over the holiday season. It helps you write performance reviews, cover letters, and even parts of your CV. It's goal is to make it easy for you to go from the crisp thoughts inside your head to the fuzzy prose that's required in these HR interactions. ChatGPT does the heavy lifting of course. This thing is magic! We're both been managers at one time or ano…

How are you using ChatGPT? AFAIK, there's no API for ChatGPT yet.

One possible API is https://github.com/acheong08/ChatGPT

It uses a lurky captcha solving service, as well as chromedriver, which bin patches chrome so that chrome is automatable in a hard to detect way (off the shelf selenium is detectable by websites), but it works quite well, if you can manage to get it running. We've got a ChatGPT slackbot setup, which is quite a bit of fun in a group setting.

If you try the tool you'll see there's some UI around building out specific sections with some small details that you offer

I did try the tool, and it was not clear to me why filling out a bunch of smaller forms is superior to pasting all your information at once

The way I've found out works best after dog fooding the tool for a while (for resumes, cover letters, etc) is to take an iterative approach to it.

- Start with the minimal amount of info needed.

- Let it generate a "first draft" that acts more as inspiration.

- Fill in a bit more details in various paragraphs. Let it expand on it.

- Delete things that aren't needed.

- Add things you might've initially forgotten about.

- Iterate for a short while and get to hopefully a decent result.

The idea being that the first draft won't ever be perfect. You need a few tries to get to something that's good and truthful for the situation at hand.

But that's a dataset of N=1.

I (as an engineer) don't care if my colleagues send me point form.

However, HR and managers are the ones who made the decision that I have to write these lengthy reviews. How do you propose I proceed?

I could either:

- Tell my manager / HR that I'm not willing to do that

- Find a different job

- Or just put up with it, and use tools like this to make it more bearable.

I've heard that text-davinci-003 is better than ChatGPT at most tasks. They're probably using that.

is there a competing open-source version of this model I could run locally?
