Hi HN! When I was the Product Management lead for HR Tech at Google, I thought there were several opportunities to integrate LLMs into our tools to make employees more efficient. Managers could get summaries of peer reviews, recruiters could quickly generate personalized outreach letters to candidates, etc. But I had 3 big problems: 1. Third Party Systems: A lot of work happens in Salesforce, Workday, SAP, etc. And we had no way of modifying that code to integrate what we wanted. 2. Legacy Systems: A lot of the tools in our portfolio were oooold, and nobody really wanted to go in and mess with them. 3. No Resources: All the engineers on the team were already (over)allocated for the entire year. None of these problems seemed unique to Google, so when I was laid off in March, I started wondering if a Chrome Extension might be a way to get around ALL these problems. Could you build an "aftermarket" LLM add-on that would integrate seamlessly into the browser to help people do their jobs better? And at the same time put the control of AI into the hands of users? So I built Ask Steve. You can install and try it with no login required. You get 100 requests to try it out, and then if you find it useful you can put in your own Gemini API Key and have free unlimited use. I can’t tell you how much fun it has been to build something after 8 years of decks and docs :) I hope you find it useful and I’d love any feedback! Thanks! - rajat |
