Just want to say the interactive widgets being actually hooked up to an LLM was very fun.
To continue bashing on gmail/gemini, the worst offender in my opinion is the giant "Summarize this email" button, sitting on top of a one-liner email like "Got it, thanks". How much more can you possibly summarize that email?
Jazz Vibe-raphone legend Gary Burton is saddened by this comment.
It definitely makes me lose interest and trust in software that is openly described as being "vibe-coded".
I'm with the vibe of wanting to move on to the point where LLMs are just yet another tool in the process of software engineering, and not the main focus.
It was mind blowing seeing the picture I had in my head appear on the page for e.g. this little prompt diagram:
https://koomen.dev/essays/horseless-carriages/#system-prompt...
MDX & claude are remarkably useful for expressing ideas. You could turn this into a little web app and it would instantly be better than any word processor ever created.
Here's the code btw https://github.com/koomen/koomen.dev
Very nice example of an actually usefully interactive essay.
It is indeed a working demo, hitting
https://llm.koomen.dev/v1/chat/completions
More seriously, I think the reason companies don't want to expose the system prompt is because they want to keep some of the magic alive. Once most people understand that the universal interface to AI is text prompts, then all that will remain is the models themselves.
That's right. llm.koomen.dev is a cloudflare worker that forwards requests to openai. I was a little worried about getting DDOSed but so far that hasn't been an issue, and the tokens are ridiculously cheap.
Blog author seems smart (despite questionable ideas about how much real world users would want to interact with any of his elaborate feature concepts), you hope he's actually just got a bunch of responses cached and you're getting a random one each time from that endpoint... and that freely sent content doesn't actually hit OpenAI's APIs.
It's like the memes where people in the future will just grunt and gesticulate at the computer instead.
I used that button in Outlook once and the summary was longer than the original email
Thank you! @LewisJEllis and I wrote a little framework for "vibe writing" that allows for writing in markdown and adding vibe-coded react components. It's a lot of fun to use!
