Ask HN: Google Apps vs. Google Workspace

Wed, 03/26/2025 - 1:57pm

It's been a few years since I have used Google's business services. A few years back, setting up a Google Apps account for a domain was free to start (one free email and every additional email was a few dollars per user). Now I see Google Workspace doesn't have a similar option.

Bing used to have a similar option and I can't find what happened to Bing's counterpart at all.

What happened to this ecosystem?

Show HN: Prompteus – Visual workflow builder for shipping better AI features

Wed, 03/26/2025 - 1:50pm

We built Prompteus to help devs build and manage AI features without the mess — no more prompt spaghetti or scattered "hardcoded" AI API calls.

Design workflows visually, deploy as APIs, and get built-in caching, logging, rate limits, and model orchestration (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, etc.).

It’s like Zapier for LLMs — but dev-friendly. Free up to 50k requests/month.

Ask HN: How long until lawyers, other industries are automated with AI?

Wed, 03/26/2025 - 1:45pm

Hi HN, I was just thinking about this and wanted to share:

Lawyers are slow, terse and way too expensive today to the point it feels that they are gatekeeping for being inefficient and a lot of time wasted for everyone.

With the fact that LLMs are getting more and more better with text and hallucination rate is going to near zero, there should be no reason that lawyers rates should be extremely high in an AI world.

There are massive case law datasets that are available and paired with LLMs and the need for only 1 or two lawyers, it should stand to reason that lawyers + AI should get more done and not charge obscene rates.

I imagine that there would be a either an AI lawyer or a lawyer paired with AI that can take on 100,000 or more cases a year and charge $100 max rather than take on 10 cases and charge millions without AI.

We've already seen AI progress with everyone becoming digital artists, freelance writers, or programmers using AI and those who are already in those professions 10x or 100x ing in productivity already using these AI tools.

Why are industries like finance, consulting, lawyers, accredited investors too slow and gatekeeping with high rates of fees when AI can lower the barrier to entry for everyone and in the process 100x the people in these existing industries productive output?

Show HN: Promptly – Collaborative AI Writing

Wed, 03/26/2025 - 1:45pm

Adam and Wojciech here. We've been hacking away on Knowbase.one - our B2b search engine - for about 8 weeks now. Something weird happened during our coffee sync-ups: we realized the AI had basically become our third co-founder. We'd huddle with our laptops, draft prompts in Google Docs, feed them to Claude, then paste the responses back. Like pair programming, but with a machine that doesn't drink coffee.

This workflow worked, but was clunky. We'd be building our actual product while simultaneously talking about how there should be a better way to do this with some tool for AI collaboration. We tried some existing solutions, but everything was too complex for us. We took a detour and hacked together Promptly - basically a shared Google Doc for humans talking to AI. It's what we wished we had when we were passing laptops back and forth trying to show each other "check out what happens when you phrase it this way."

We've shown it to some friends and the pattern is clear: folks who don’t use AI or use it for production work have no idea what’s this for :) Those that already talk to AI a lot get it right away. Especially when they're trying to teach other people how to prompt properly. You know that frustration when someone's doing it wrong and you want to grab their keyboard? That's what we're fixing.

And it's not just for us nerds. Writers, marketing people, researchers - anyone who treats AI like another person on the team rather than just some fancy calculator. We'd love your brutally honest feedback. Hit us up on Twitter or shoot an email to contact@knowbase.one. And hey, if you're willing to really kick the tires and tell us what sucks, we'll hook you up with free credits.
