#252I'll mention one which I didn't write, which I found pretty cool. iOS app "Friday" lets you use to talk to ChatGPT. It seems to be just simple glue (I'm sure there are many similar ones) between speech recognition, GPT, and text-to-speech, but the end result is that when you're bored you can have fun discussions without typing.
I couldn't find it on the app store, can you post the link?

#253MirrorThink is able to search and read scientific papers to answer serious scientific questions and find solutions to deep engineering problems. It is also GPT-4 for free (for now). https://mirrorthink.ai/
I tried with a few papers. Didn't work. Always making up summaries.

#254I'm really interested in a tool that can ingest documentation (I have it in markdown and asciidoc) and help me write new documentation. Any suggestions?
How about a tool that ingests code (and tests) and creates documentation? Anything like this yet?

#255I've been experimenting with using ChatGPT for coding and building up some useful tooling. The result is aider, which is a command-line tool that allows you to code with GPT-4 in the terminal. Ask GPT for features, improvements, or bug fixes and aider will directly apply the suggested changes to your source files. Each change is automatically committed to git with a descriptive commit message. https://paul-gauthier.g…
This is awesome. I started messing around with it yesterday. I'm building a similar tool that interacts via Github issues and PRs, but being able to interact directly on the CLI is super cool.
Some ideas (I may experiment with these on my own fork, and make a PR if I have success):
1. The main prompt is pretty long (https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider/blob/main/aider/promp...), but I suspect that it could be abbreviated. I'm think the same criteria/restrictions could be enforced with fewer characters, enabling (slightly) larger files to be supported
E.g. "I want you to act as an expert software engineer and pair programmer." (69 chars) -> "Act as a software dev + pair programmer" (39 chars) - I suspect the LLM would behave similarly with these two phrases
2. It would be cool to be able to open "file sections" rather than entire files (still trying to figure out how to do this for my own tool). But the idea I had would be to support opening files like `path/to/main.go[123:200]` or `/path/to/main.go[func:FuncName]`
^the way I've gotten around this limitation with your tool is by copying functions/structures relevant to my request into a temporary file, then opening aider on the temporary file and making my request. Then I copy/paste the code generated to the actual file I want it in. It did a really good job, I'm just trying to figure out ways to reduce the number of manual steps for that
Anyway, great job, and I'm really excited to keep using this tool.
By the way, could you by any chance update the README with instructions for running directly from source rather than via pip install?

#256Havana summarizes my sales calls and drafts a follow-up email automatically after each call. https://tryhavana.com When you do more than 5-10 sales calls a week, writing up notes and emails can take hours of your time. It's tedious work but also must be done (otherwise you might forget what's going on in a deal when it's time to do another call down the line!). Also, the quality of the summaries and emails must be go…
been using it for some time now since it’s release, and the results are better than anything else i’ve seen! (and it keeps getting better :D)
love it!

#257Am I the only one who isn't using ChatGPT on a regular basis? Though I've made a few attempts to use it, generally I already know the answers to most trivial questions. And by going into more complex questions and scenarios, it becomes apparent that ChatGPT lacks a deep understanding of the suggestions it provides. It turns out to be a pretty frustrating experience. Also I've noticed that by the time I've crafted int…
Perhaps that is because you haven't used my top ten prompts for software devs who are worried about losing their jobs! But also yes, it is not the greatest thing ever. It is mostly mediocre for me as well. And lots of the most exciting things, like DMing a dungeons and dragons campaign, is actually mostly terrible because it recreates the same scenarios over and over and it never remembers any of the information that…
Game rules are generally not copyrightable. The particular written expression of game rules may be, though. So it becomes a question of how much it took from the game books and whether it presented them verbatim or in a new way.

I felt that way until I stumbled upon a usage I didn't anticipate: Helping my teenage son with his math and physics homework.
Generally, I know the concepts he's working on but I've run into a couple problems. First, they don't use textbooks at his school. It's just poorly made slideshows from the teacher that don't clearly explain any topics. So, to get to parity with his understanding, I'd have to hear the teacher explain it.
Second, his work will generally reference names of laws, theorems, etc. that I'm not familiar with. Usually, I'd search for a document, Khan academy video, or some other YouTube video but this has been time-consuming.
I started asking ChatGPT: "Take on the role of a high school teacher in an advanced physics course. Give me a basic explanation of [insert law name here]. Please provide at least two examples and a reference URL."
This has been incredibly useful.
