I built https://emojithis.com, which automatically adds emojis to text. Although it’s essentially an AI wrapper, with meaningful UX and some useful touches, there’s something surprisingly useful in there. My friends and I use it a lot, and the people who try it tend to come back!

Ok hand emoji maybe?
Oops. Missed that! That's kind of a relief. I was afraid that it was "remembering" things I was not in control of!
I checked settings, personalization, the memory is empty. I'm using, GPT-4o. I think it's an update, it wasn't like that before.

That's funny! I've made a "tool"[1] that "automatically" adds emojis to text. It is even worse for your example! It adds two train emojis for some reason. "Yesterday we flew [plane emoji] to Japan [Flag of Japan] and took[train emoji] the train[train profile emoji] and saw Mt. Fuji [emoji of Mt. Fuji]"

I did a ShowHN because I thought it was a good idea but it flopped. Maybe I should pivot my idea toward kindergarteners!

Show HN: Emoji This – A tool to decorate your texts with emojis

https://emojithis.com/

Hi HN! I have created a website (and app) where you can send a text, and it will decorate it with relevant emojis: https://emojithis.comI noticed that I often use ChatGPT to add emojis to my messages, so I created a super simple one-API-call thing. I ended up using it a lot, and after a 5-minute search, I noticed that something like this didn’t exist!So, I asked ChatGPT for a website design...

I created an internal tool to convert images to pdf (using wasm) so I don't have to install any programs. Then a friend wanted to use it too, so I got a url ( https://privateconvert.com ) and then got carried a little bit away adding more conversions.
