So who made this? Vercel? I know this is being posted by the Vercel CEO. Did you “commission” this as an ad? Or was it maybe built by a customer, and you helped him get visibility? What’s the story? I take it that Show HN is not just about the creation but also about the creator and the journey behind what’s being shown.

Looking at the git repo (https://github.com/ai-ng/swift https://github.com/ai-ng/swift), it was made by some web developer, not Vercel. Likely OP (Vercel CEO) just made a mistake posting it as a "Show HN".

  I've been acting mostly as the 'ideas guy' and helping with the architecture / QA. It's a great way for me to dogfood Vercel and build empathy as a user in an external org, using external services.

    Thank you for clarifying, Guillermo.

Hi - I'm the developer who built this with Guillermo. We started an open source org (ai-ng) to play around with ideas that use cutting-edge AI products. I'm 16, and have only been programming for a few years, so it's a good opportunity for me to learn a lot about web development and engineering.

  Congrats! I wish I would have coded like that when I was 16. Tipping my hat!
