Ask HN: Interest in LLM-powered API with integrated tools?
I'm exploring an idea for a comprehensive tool that allows users to create new API endpoints through natural language interactions with an LLM, while also integrating various useful functionalities. The basic concept:
Users describe what they want the API to do in plain language. The LLM interprets this, generates code, and creates a working API endpoint. Users can test and refine the API through further conversation. Once satisfied, the endpoint can be called repeatedly with given parameters on the service. Users can export the generated APIs, code, and other outputs for use in their own environments. Key integrated features:
Web crawling/scraping capabilities via Playwright (similar to Browserbase) Chunk output and generate embeddings for documents (webpage/PDFs) Media conversion tools (e.g., ffmpeg with natural language interface) Code generation for various tasks (conversions/testing) Some potential use cases:
Rapid prototyping of APIs without writing code Creating custom integrations between services Functional testing for existing codebases Automating web data collection and processing Streamlining media conversion workflows Generating code snippets or entire scripts for specific tasks I'd love to get the HN community's thoughts:
Would this multi-functional tool be useful to you? In what scenarios? Which of the integrated features (API generation, crawling, media conversion, code generation) would you find most valuable? What additional features or integrations would you want to see? How much would you be willing to pay for such a comprehensive service? What concerns would you have about using an LLM to generate APIs and code? How would you ensure security and reliability of the generated endpoints and code? Do you see any potential issues with combining these different functionalities into one tool? Also, if you're working on something similar or have experience in any of these areas, I'd be grateful for any insights or advice you can share.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Show HN: LLM Logger – open-source logging for LLM calls
Hi HN!
While working with LLMs I ran into two problems:
- While developing, when running into any unexpected issues I wanted to see the exact input/output but logging it every time made the logs too noisy and useless. - After launch, I wanted to see how my users were using my app.
So I built LLM Logger. It's a simple open source tool that has a comfy UI from which you can see the list of logs from your app nad do some filtering.
Live demo for those interested: https://llmlogger.com/logs?org_id=01910013-7d31-7f3b-bfd9-41...
