Re:Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026) on Sunday June 21, 2026 @12:03AM (#48615577)
As an agency owner I kept having to manually monitor and audit how AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini describe my clients' brands, so I ended up building a tool to do it for us. It is called https://BrandGEO.co, it runs a 2-minute audit across all 5 major AI engines and tells you exactly what to fix. It works both for brand owners checking their own brand and for agencies taking care of their clients' brands.

I work on a problem of easily running AI workflows that are just simple API endpoints that have SDKs in most major tech stacks. I was reinventing the wheel with AI workflows for my customers so many times that I finally decided to extract all those workflows as simple APIs and give paid access to everyone. https://sharpapi.com/
It's not cool to piggyback on SharpAPI.com branding.
Re:Job Description vs. Resume Match Score Tool on Sunday December 28, 2025 @05:18AM (#46410002)
How well does your CV actually match a job description?

I just launched a small online tool -> https://cvmatchscore.com to help answer that question. Paste a job description, upload your CV, and get a match score with explanations.

I'd love to get your feedback :)

I had had enough of ChatGPT sounding like a machine and repeating the same forms. So I forced it into rehab: no em dashes, no buzzwords, no “in conclusion.” Sentences short. Advise directly. I keep my rulebook under 1500 characters (Custom Instructions limit). Set it: profile icon → Settings → Personalization → Custom Instructions. Sharing my prompt in the comments if you want to try it.

Ready? Here it is:

1. Create one folder for every project you work on in your drive (make sure it’s synced to the cloud because, let’s face it, nobody likes a good backup until they need one). 2. Inside each folder, have one simple TODO.txt file.

I’m building http://SharpAPI.com/ — a flexible AI-powered API platform that helps automate repetitive workflows for things like product categorization, sentiment analysis, resume parsing, content cleanup, and more. Think Zapier, but deeply focused on content-heavy tasks across e-commerce, HR tech, Travel, content and marketing. It’s how I’ve been replacing boring grunt work with AI firepower. It's sprinkled with a lot of SDK Clients for Laravel/PHP, Node, Flutter, .Net & Python.
Re:Ask HN: Anyone making a living from a paid API? on Saturday June 07, 2025 @02:30AM (#44207849)
https://SharpAPI.com/ - not making a living yet, but it provides quite good revenue already.
Nope, I didn't. I never generate any of my articles on my blog. I used (as always) ChatGPT to help me proofread typos, though.
I didn't use llm to generate it. I used it to proofread my thoughts, though :)

Why does everyone these days assume that everything is generated? You can check my other articles on my blog as well - none of them is generated.

As the author of this article/video - it's really strange for me that almost everyone here in these threads has focused on the LLM part of refactoring, where it's only mentioned as one of many tools for target-less flow state of the code tweaking sessions. :-)
Thanks for your comments - but I wasn't using GPT to generate the article, I only used it once for proofreading my own thoughts :)

Also - I was focusing on the REFACTORING part where LLM might be one of 100s of tools to be used while being in a state of flow of goal-less refactoring.

Re:Vibe Coding Is Fun–But Vibe Refactoring Pays the Bills on Saturday April 26, 2025 @03:35AM (#43801643)
There’s a lot of hype about vibe coding—that moment when caffeine hits, your playlist slaps, and you hammer out code like a jazz drummer sprinting through a solo. It’s exhilarating, but relying on that adrenaline burst is like funding your retirement with scratch-offs.

So let’s flip the script to something that actually compounds: vibe refactoring. Same spontaneous energy, but aimed at shrinking technical debt and sharpening your architecture instead of amping up the commit count.

The other way around - if you need the best resume parsing with AI you can use SharpAPI :-) https://sharpapi.com/en/catalog/ai/hr-tech/resume-cv-parsing

Re:Ask HN: Solopreneurs, how did you come up with your idea? on Sunday October 27, 2024 @12:53AM (#41959947)
Hello, I'm Dawid, the founder of https://SharpAPI.com/ With a passion for technology that dates back to the days when dial-up internet was cutting-edge and "the cloud" was just something that might spoil your weekend plans, I've always been driven to build online products.

Over the last 2 years, I found myself developing the same AI workflows repeatedly for different platforms, products, and clients. It became clear that there was a need for a unified, enterprise-ready solution that could serve multiple industries seamlessly. That's when the idea for SharpAPI was born.
