Show HN: Prank your friends at work for April Fool's Day

2 pointsby rylan-talericoabout 1 month ago
Hi HN,<p>In my spare time, I’m building Magical.pm, an AI product management co-pilot that generates software requirements from natural language.<p>A few weeks ago, I was at a writing event here in NYC, and someone joked about adding &quot;Poem mode&quot; to Magical. We thought it would be funny if Magical returned requirements in sonnet form.<p>When I got home, I realized it would be easy to implement—as simple as modifying the prompts to create alternate voices for the generations.<p>So, I added the feature, calling it Goofballs. I created three Goofballs (totally obnoxious and fun): – Shakespeare Mode – Gen-Z Mode – Tech Bro Mode<p>I also added prank links so people can send Magical.pm to a friend in Goofball Mode without the friend knowing.<p>When the friend generates requirements, they&#x27;ll be surprised with the selected Goofball Mode, complete with ridiculous fonts.<p>Figure this could be especially fun on April Fool&#x27;s Day. Happy pranking!

I can&#x27;t find any kind of privacy policy on your site.<p>(I did try a fake requirement in &quot;Gen Z&quot; mode and did laugh at how accurate the generated card was!)
