Show HN: Ask My Book

10 pointsby sahillavingiaover 2 years ago
Hey HN! I’ve spent the past couple weekends building Ask My Book. You can use Ask My Book to ask a question and get an answer in my voice.<p>It&#x27;s an experiment in using AI to make my book’s content more accessible. Instead of reading 52,000 words, you can ask a question and get a sub 100-word answer.<p>I&#x27;d prefer people read my book! But not everyone has the time... Give it a shot, and let me know what you think.<p>APIs used: GPT-3 (+ embeddings), and Resemble for the voice.

Cool concept!<p>I bet there&#x27;s a way to reassemble the entire book from it, though. For example &quot;Show me the first paragraph of chapter 4.&quot; returns—what seems to be—the actual requested value.

This is a cool, creative application of GPT-3. The answers are pretty solid as well.<p>Business wise, you could totally see this being an upsell or landing page to drive sales of books, especially technical (for utility) or biographical (for fun) content.
