Haven't tried it, but applications like these are the best uses of LLMs. Translation from an informal human language to a formal language that the human can review, and can be manipulated formally further.
I believe the attempts to have LLMs "write the code" or "reason" are wrong. What we need is to move to more formal languages to replace the ambiguity of natural language.
- mcintyre1994 2y agoI agree with this for sure. One of the most effective things I built myself with an LLM was a natural language search for complex transaction data. I wrote the available filters and the code to apply them to the data, but instead of a complex UI to set the filters up you just write natural language and an LLM converts it to my filter data structures for you. This feels like it's playing into their strength too, it's really good at understanding the data structure I want it to return and sticking to it.
- ludovicianul 2y agoTotally agree. I've recently built this: https://github.com/ludovicianul/sol https://github.com/ludovicianul/sol which lets you use natural language to query your git history for different metrics.
