How I Built a 1-Click AI Comment Generator for Hacker News

Hey everyone! @Jim_Le and I used n8n and Ask Steve to create a 1-click AI comment generator for Hacker News that:

  • Reads the source article and comments
  • Generates an appropriate new comment
  • Writes it directly into the comment field on the page

I just posted it to Hacker News here: Show HN: I Built a 1-Click AI Comment Generator for Hacker News | Hacker News

Check it out, try it out, and your support and feedback would be appreciated!

@Rajat_Paharia It was great working with you on this demo!
Any thoughts on the new OpenAI Operator and how it compares to AskSteve?

Hey @Jim_Le - at a high level Ask Steve is a UI that makes it easy to:

(a) Ask an AI to do something without leaving what you’re doing
(b) Enable it to see the context of the current page
(c) Create reusable macros so you define your “tool” once and then use it over and over again.

I don’t think Operator really changes any of these things, it just means that the AI can do more tasks than it could before. I’m looking forward to playing with it when it becomes more broadly available!
