AI Helper Bot Reviews and Details

Is AI Helper Bot good?

Social recommendations and mentions

• We migrated to SQL. Our biggest learning? Don't use Prisma

  One thing that keeps coming up is that SQL equals low productivity. I don't think this is true. I think the culprit is that most developers are using to heavily abstracting SQL using ORMs like Prisma that hides the database and SQL logic. Since building a SQL generator (https://aihelperbot.com) as a side project, I have become much more proficient in SQL and even though I am also locked into Prisma, I use the... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Sales Tips for Solo Devs

  A few things I have learned over the years and in particular launching and growing my latest project[1]: 1) Track everything including errors. Know what users are using and what they aren't. Remove or rebuild less used features. 2) Find out who your users are and what they value. Ignore non-payers. 3) Economize, market, and document features. You not only need to develop and deploy features, but also to price them... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Using AI I have departed from ORM and embraced SQL

  It started with me working on a hobby project, aihelperbot.com which enables users to generate SQL using AI. It was build using the comprehensive Prisma ORM. I always found Prisma bloated and it requires almost constantly that you lookup their API for even trivial usage. Source: almost 2 years ago

• We Spent $1,500,000 on Ads Without Getting a Single Customer

  Sounds like a combination of an unpolished product with insufficient demand and wrong business model. Users today don't want to pay XXX up front for a complicated product, they want a free tier where they incrementally learn about features. I just looked up what I spend on Google Ads for a small campaign on SQL/AI related keywords for https://aihelperbot.com: - $699.95 (part of a spend $400 to get $400 deal) -... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• How I run my servers

  Neat setup. Regarding the deploy script. I have just setup a separate VPS for proxying database queries using various Node database drivers for my own project[1] and only used Github Actions managing it[2]: - add build script using Github Action that fails the entire build pipeline if code doesn't build - add deploy script (essentially a few commands ssh into your VPS and pulling, install, building and restarting)... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Are you frustrated with the repetitive task of retrieving data for your non-technical business executives?

  I often heard data scientists having to run various queries on the database for teams with little or no SQL knowledge. It is a cumbersome process for everyone and it is one of the main problems I am solving with my small business undertaking. Everything can be safely managed by a technical user and other users can simply generate SQL via AI and run them directly on the database. Source: about 2 years ago

• Is the OpenAI gpt-4-32k model even available at all or is the documentation wrong? I have access to gpt-4 but would like to experiment with larger context.

  It is my own tool that generates SQL using AI and runs the SQL on the connected database as a business intelligence tool. It adds the database schema in the context, which can be large. I have tried other ways to mitigate this but all of them regresses usability of the application (at least slightly). Source: about 2 years ago

• Where can I find a SQL mentor?

  If you want a more specialised AI-powered SQL builder where you can import database schemas and run generated SQL queries, check this out. Source: about 2 years ago

• Quick crash courses in SQL?

  Plenty of users on my site bumped up their SQL proficiency including myself in a short time. You can bing me if you want want a live database to test your SQL against. Source: over 2 years ago

• Chat with your database using AI

  If you have some really complex queries that you want to test to see if AI (GPT-4) can generate you are welcome to try: https://aihelperbot.com. After upgrading to GPT-4 I haven't had a single miss so far (when adding database for context). - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• It's amazing to see the potential of ChatGPT connected to a SQL Server 2019 Database

  I think this is the case for many larger companies (or at least they need to explicitly allow a particular IP). Would it work for you to simply export the database schema and use that or is that still an issue? Many of my users either export the database schema as CSV and use it. Source: over 2 years ago

• I started a new job as an IT senior analyst last month!!!

  I re-taught myself SQL after a long detour in ORMs land using AI. It is hyped I know, but being able to formulate what you what to see and have AI build the SQL query is a powerful way to learn. You can see my side project here, has a few other features as well. Source: over 2 years ago

• How much can you get out of a $4 VPS?

  > trivially solved with one or two dedicated servers... For many even lot less than that. I run a small side project[1] that went viral a few times (30K views in 24 hours or so) and it is running on a single core CPU web server and a managed Postgres likewise on a single CPU core. It hasn't even been close to full utilization. 1: https://aihelperbot.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• You might not need an ORM

  I agree that this blog post is part "orm" and part "lead gen for my saas app which helps you write sql queries". I think a blog title which reflects this, ORM and AiHelperBot, would be more helpful. That being said - the faq's on https://aihelperbot.com/ don't answer the main questions I have:. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• SQL Bot

  I partly agree. It is still very early application of AI. Most AI/SQL builder are rather simple and target beginners. But I reckon more experienced SQL users can benefit as well (I did so myself). With my side project I distinguish between 2 modes:. Source: over 2 years ago

• How much SQL do I need to know?

  I you like a hands on approach to learning, this tool might be helpful to you. Improved my SQL skills. Source: over 2 years ago
