• Ask HN: What are some actual use cases of AI Agents?
  6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 14 Feb 2024

  I taught https://github.com/KillianLucas/open-interpreter how to use https://github.com/ferrislucas/promptr

  Then I asked it to add a test suite to a rails side project. It created missing factories, corrected a broken test database configuration, and wrote tests for the classes and controllers that I asked it to.

  I didn't have to get involved with mundane details. I did have to intervene here and there, but not much. The tests aren't the best in the world, but IMO they're adding value by at least covering the happy path. They're not as good as an experienced person would write.

  I did spend a non-trivial amount of time fiddling with the prompts I used to teach OI about Promptr as well as the prompts I used to get it to successfully create the test suite.

  The total cost was around $11 using GPT4 turbo.

  I think in this case it was a fun experiment. I think in the future, this type of tooling will be ubiquitous.

• Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?

  I made a CLI tool called Promptr that allows you to make changes to a codebase via plain English instructions:

  https://github.com/ferrislucas/promptr

  There’s a templating system (liquidjs) included which is useful if you have a library of prompts that you want to reference often.

  You can think of it as a junior engineer that needs explicit instructions.

  Here are a few example PR’s implemented by Promptr - see the commits for the prompt that was used to produce the code:

• Another Major Outage Across ChatGPT and API

  You just prompt it directly or with a file, and it applies the changes to your file system. There's also a templating system that allows you to reference other files from your prompt file if you want to have a shared prompt file that contains project conventions etc.

• Ask HN: How do you use AI to get things done faster?
  2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 28 Sep 2023

  I’ve been experimenting with pairing a tool I wrote called Promptr [1] with another tool called Open Interpreter [2].

  I start with a prompt that teaches Open Interpreter how to use Promptr, and then I discuss what I’m trying to accomplish. It’s certainly not perfect, but there’s definitely something good that happens when you can iterate using dialog with a robot that can modify your file system and execute commands locally.

• Coders Can Survive–and Thrive–In a ChatGPT World
  2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Jul 2023

  I wrote a great tool for this: https://github.com/ferrislucas/promptr

  It’s great for making changes to existing code because it automatically includes the relevant files for context.

• ChatGPT Changed How I Write Software

  For those looking for specific examples of useful code being authored by AI, you can check out this tool:

  https://github.com/ferrislucas/promptr

  The README links to example PR’s comprised of commits written by GPT4. The prompts used to produce the code are noted in the commit messages.

• Ask HN: What's your favorite GPT powered tool?
  16 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 15 May 2023

  Promptr is a coding assistant tool that allows you to ask GPT to produce or modify code, and the results will be automatically applied to your file system.

• Any recommended tools for accessing codebases?

  I'm also interested in this problem. It can be theoretically solved by giving GPT long-term memory about a specific codebase through vector embedding generation (using OpenAI's embeddings API). The semantic embeddings can then be stored in a vector (or vector-supported) database such as Pinecone alongside metadata for querying. Some of the key considerations are how to compare vectors for similarity (there are many algorithms) and how to use metadata to better support your use case. The following resources can be helpful to further understand this technique: - https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/embeddings - https://www.mlq.ai/fine-tuning-gpt-3-question-answer-bot/ - https://www.pinecone.io/learn/javascript-chatbot/ A couple of semi-related projects I've been looking into: - https://github.com/ferrislucas/promptr - https://github.com/pashpashpash/vault-ai
