Congrats on the launch. We are building something similar at https://trypromptly.com https://trypromptly.com that allows chatbot building on user's own documents powered by GPT. We also allow users to build AI powered apps without writing code. For example, https://trypromptly.com/app/9da10a4f-6d20-431e-98f7-048fab813df7 https://trypromptly.com/app/9da10a4f-6d20-431e-98f7-048fab81... is a chatbot built on Coursera video transcript. Similarly https://trypromptly.com/app/d478594d-2082-46c9-bee7-f057f4bce1ef https://trypromptly.com/app/d478594d-2082-46c9-bee7-f057f4bc... is a web app that generates resume based on user information and the position they are applying to. Both are powered by Open AI message completions API and built using Promptly's no-code builder. Another fun app we built allows end user to provide a audio file, pipe that to Whisper and use that in the chain below to extract summaries etc. Ps: We are still updating our landing page with app builder videos and other content

I feel it is impolite to hijack someone else’s Show HN to promote your own, like-for-like product, that too as a top level comment. Not sure about HN norms around this though.

  It's a for-profit app being posted here to get free advertising. Other people jumping on to get free advertising too is fair game and definitely the HN norm. Besides, I always bookmark threads for apps that look interesting and check back later when everyone else has posted their similar apps and been commented on, then I can compare and choose whichever one looks best (or whichever is open source).

    I can see your point of view. Personally, if I find that my app is similar to an ongoing Show HN, I like to wait for an opening where I can respond with a plug for my own app. I don't feel comfortable talking up my own app unprompted. Feels like making a big attention grabbing announcement at someone else's wedding.

  It is useful for users to learn about the alternatives.
