ChatHN is an open-source AI chatbot web app that lets users query Hacker News using natural language, powered by OpenAI function calling and the Vercel AI SDK. It is built with Next.js and can be deployed to Vercel with one click.
Use cases
- ask hacker news for top stories in natural language
- summarize comments on a hacker news story
- get hacker news results as a markdown table
- deploy my own ai chatbot for hacker news
- learn how to use openai function calling with the vercel ai sdk
- chat with an api using natural language
When to choose
- you want a ready-made natural language interface to Hacker News
- you want a reference implementation of OpenAI function calling with the Vercel AI SDK in Next.js
- you want to self-deploy a streaming AI chatbot on Vercel
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose chatbot not tied to Hacker News
- you don't want to depend on an OpenAI API key and its costs
- you need a production-grade, actively developed product rather than a demo app
