Out of curiosity, how much is a HN front page appearance costing you on the back-end?
If you’re willing to share of course. I think many HN readers would be interested to know how “kicking the tires” traffic on an AI product like this compares to a traditional web app cost wise.
I built a Twitch bot hooked up to one of the avatars, you can try it without signing up (as long as you already have a Twitch account): https://www.twitch.tv/heyastrocyte
The idea is basically an AI twitch streamer, you talk in chat and they respond. In this case it's AI Naruto!
Thanks for the feedback! I'll put together a short demo as well.
