Hi everyone, I made this easy to use AI web app builder that you can use for free.

English is my wife's second language and she asks me to look at her texts a few times a day to check her grammar and reword it to sound more polite and friendly to an English speaker. I made an AI app that did this for her and by the next day, she said she had used it three to four times. She uses it daily now.

I also know somebody that needed ideas for product names for their business so I made a "Help me name my product AI". I felt like there's a lot of simple apps like this that could be created if people could just combine a reusable AI prompt and a text box to get user input.

This got me to thinking that anyone should be able to have an idea and then instantly create a sharable AI app.

Check it out at https://www.pancaik.com (spelled with A.I.).

It's a little rough right now but I wanted to share and would love to hear some feedback.

In the future, I want it to be able to take multiple inputs and combine them, include a history for users, add a log for admin, include prompt engineering tools that you can run against the request log, have the ability to generate web components that you can integrate into your own web apps, and have a REST API.

Very nice! If you want something similar but be able to extend it with your code in React & Node.js, give a try to https://wasp-lang.dev/ (disclaimer: I am the author).

We recently used it with ChatGPT and it was a super good combo for quickly scaffolding a web app: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjUpqfEonow&ab_channel=Wasp

Also apologies for the shameless plug here! :) I really like what you did, happy to provide more feedback on anything.

Cool! It would be nice to use this to quickly iterate on the prompts I plan to use within https://app.habitstack.com. Basically, supply the user input in the query string and get back the result. Then in Pancaik see the log of combined prompts, the results, and be able to fine tune the prompts over time. Any plans to go that direction?

Yes, I have plans to log user provided inputs and the responses from GPT. You can monitor these inputs/responses to see if the responses that are coming back are of high quality. If it feels like you can improve the prompt, you will be able to use a prompt engineering tool which will let you experiment with different prompts and run them against a bunch of user inputs. You can then compare the new responses to the old ones and see if it's an improvement.

If you're thinking of integrating into another app, one of the next steps is to be able to take the AI web app you built and turn it into a component that you can put into your own websites/web apps. Also, at this point, you will be able to have inputs that are not just user provided, but can also come from your website/web app (e.g. data from your database).

Yeah, that all seems very useful.

I'm the creator and I'll be hanging out in the comments all day. If you have any feedback, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
