1. Solved by feeding text version of front page into response - https://github.com/steven-tey/chathn/blob/main/app/api/chat/... . It can not even read linked articles. What you see can be replaced with 4 buttons: get_top_stories + get_story + get_story_with_comments + summarize_top_story. 2. "secret browser" automatically triggers generally applicable conspiracy & common journalistic statements. If you try to ask more specific questions, it immediately fallbacks to: "As an AI language model, I don't have access to real-time data or the ability to browse external websites like Hacker News".

Oh, I now see why: https://github.com/steven-tey/chathn/blob/main/app/api/chat/... It would be interesting to add a function to a search feature.

OP here – this is a PoC that is limited to the function/API endpoints you define for it: https://github.com/steven-tey/chathn/blob/main/app/api/chat/... > what's the most popular post on hacker news ever? In this case we'll have to define a "timeframe" variable in the `get_top_stories` function that takes in values like "now", "week", "alltime" etc. to make that work > list profitable sideproject stories posted to hacker news Not sure if HN has an API for this, maybe we can reverse engineer the Algolia search to achieve this > how many post the user tiborsaas have on hacker news? we'll need to add a `get_user` function for that

Looking at the code, It can only delegate actions to the pre configured functions at: https://github.com/steven-tey/chathn/blob/main/app/api/chat/... I wonder whether it is possible to create "atomic" functions to build high level queries from a user chat. Or maybe even create adapters to virtual db tables, and then tell ChatGPT to convert your query to SQL to be run on said tables.

Hi again Hacker News! OpenAI recently launched "Function Calling", which is a way for developers to describe functions to GPT-3.5/4 and have the model intelligently choose to output a JSON object containing arguments to call those functions. I decided to tinker around with it this weekend and build an MVP that uses OpenAI Functions + Vercel AI SDK to "chat" with the Hacker News API using natural language, in real time! It's fairly basic for now (supported functions: https://github.com/steven-tey/chathn/blob/main/app/api/chat/...) but just wanted to launch this as a proof of concept (PoC)! Hope y'all like this :)
