💬 Summary

is a news writer who covers the streaming wars, consumer tech, crypto, social media, and much more. Previously, she was a writer and editor at MUO. OpenAI’s ChatGPT sees more than 2.5 billion requests daily, with 330 million from users based in the US, according to data obtained by Axios. The data suggests that ChatGPT users send over 912.5 billion requests to the AI chatbot each year. OpenAI spokesperson Rob Friedlander confirmed to The Verge that the numbers reported by Axios are correct. Although ChatGPT still has a ways to go to catch up to Google’s 5 trillion annual searches, its rapid growth still poses a major threat to the search giant. In the span of just a few months,...

🗣️ Post 2: Show HN: Another GPT wrapper. A boring tool that writes your resignation letter

💬 Summary

I made ResignationDesk after noticing that “resignation letter” and related terms have solid search volume. It’s a simple tool: pick a tone, who you're writing to, and it uses ChatGPT to generate a clean letter.

Yes, anyone with ChatGPT could do the same—that’s the point. It’s not about the prompt, it’s about removing friction. No login, no fluff. Just faster.

This was mostly an SEO experiment to see how far a small, focused AI wrapper can go. So far, people are using it. Curious what others think.

🗣️ Post 3: Show HN: Instantly Handle SQL Commands from Natural Language

💬 Summary

Hey HN,

I built an open source SQL editor w/ AI to take the pain out of writing complex MySQL queries and learning syntax or repeatedly prompting ChatGPT, which doesn't fully understand your DB's schema. This app has an AI chat that understands your database and can act with context, executing complex tasks.

For example, I can ask "What's the last user that signed up? Can you set that user's paid status to TRUE?", and it will create a plan and execute it after you confirm.

The AI can run SQL commands and execute complex, multistep tasks, when prompted.

The app features a window to run commands, panel to view the tables and AI chat to prompt for changes or get info.

I created this to help me use SQL without needing to prompt ChatGPT very verbosely every time. The app understands the context of the DB, so no need for that.

It's all open source on GH. Would love for some people to check it out.

🎯 Final Takeaways

These discussions reveal how developers think about emerging AI trends, tool usage, and practical innovation. Take inspiration from these community insights to level up your own development or prompt workflows.
