Ask HN: AI-Powered Table Generation Ideas?

Post by matrix1010 » Tue, Apr 16, 2024, 4:29 AM UTC

I'm developing an AI-powered spreadsheet tool and I'm looking for creative ways to showcase its table generation capabilities. Do you have any ideas for interesting demos?

For instance, imagine using the tool to create a recipe generator. With one click the AI would automatically generate a clean table with four columns: Recipe Name, Ingredients, Steps, and Tags (e.g., Vegetarian, Quick Meal).

Maybe the ability to parse a typical documentation site, like https://react.dev/reference/react or https://react.dev/reference/react, and make a table of functions + 1-line descriptions + examples, with a link to the full page?

Or the ability to generate Census tables from a natural language prompt? Like "Real income vs housing costs for San Francisco, 1980 to 2024". (You could graph it too once you have the table, but that's secondary to just being able to fetch the right data and format it as a table from natural language input.)
