I wanted to help my friend who runs an e-commerce shop. We thought it would be nice to use GPT-4 to answer the FAQ questions of website visitors. In a couple of weeks, we improved the logic, and now it can access product and order information. I created a Shopify app for it with a very affordable price, as I don't have any big commercial plans. I'm going to launch the product on Product Hunt tomorrow morning.
The demo under "Orders" shows the assistant asking the user for their email to find orders. What's to stop a malicious user from putting in somebody else's email?
Yes, I understand your point. I based my approach on similar "check order status" apps, many of which operate in the same way. However, I chose not to share any personal data, so it only provides general information about the order.
The thing is this right now your app is just a little germ of an idea and you’re not ready for any type of criticism at all really it doesn’t matter what anybody says you’re still just trying to explore this thing. I’m very much against a lot of the programmers on this site. A lot of them have never tried to build and market anything and they don’t know how hard it is, but they’re willing to shit on anything anyone else does,
it’s not like that a lot of different Reddit sites and there’s a lot of good people on here too, but man, it’s tough.
Anyway, I’m trying to reach out to help you and tell you to join my Reddit or reach out to me on Reddit rather at demofunjohn. We’re building a nice launch network on there!
They’re not spam submissions. I’m a legit solopreneur, and what I’ve found is hacker news no longer cater’s to the solopreneur. It used to, but now it doesn’t.
Before you judge, you should check out my work. It is worthy and good, but I’m having a very hard time marketing it, there are a lot of people like me.
The work is good and my journey is good. A lot of people are in the same boat: a product they don’t know how to market. HN used to be where you show things off, but it’s harder now.
When someone posts a link like this, they want help! Believe me, I know! I don’t why hackers are so loathe to help each other.
