$2 isn't worth your time, even if you get a ton of people doing it. Deduct Stripe fixed fees + % and deduct the odd chargeback, some customer support, etc.
In theory, I'd buy the app if it makes my life easier. Until recently I was really annoyed that brain.fm didn't have an app. But now I've got their app (buggy as hell, need to restart every few days).
I used it for some tests in the past. I think I tried the cheaper OpenAI model and the more expensive one. Cheaper took way more steps which ended up being more expensive in the end. But that was a few months ago, not sure if anything changed since then. I guess it's OK if use-cases change and to quickly test things, but for repetitive tasks, better to find different solutions that don't cost 10cents to a dollar to use per instance.
Thanks so much! Very interesting. So that's sort of text-to-sql (or vice versa)?
Any resources where I can go down a bit of a rabbit hole for a few hours and learn more about it?
So my understanding would be that in case 2 I would send in the prompt itself something like
table: my_table
fields: id INT; name VARCHAR, email VARCHAR, country VARCHAR
And then if I e.g. ask how many people in my app are from the UK, I'd send the query + the table structure in the prompt and it would probably return something along the lines of SELECT count(id) FROM my_table WHERE country = UK, right?
So depending on the complexity of the database (and how often it changes), it still might be a bit tricky, especially if I have relational tables that connect multiple tables via IDs, etc. as this might need additional explanations in the prompt. If I'd use one of the big LLMs, such as OpenAI, what sort of model would work best with this?
Yes, it's text-to-sql. I would just dump your entity relationships into the prompt and ask for the SQL for some example questions. Then, I'd take those and correct the SQL so that it works -- either asking the LLM to correct bugs you see or just doing it by hand. Then I'd put those input-output examples into the prompt and try it on new things and rinse & repeat.
o1-preview will do best, but once you have a good prompt that works well, I would try that out on 4-o and smaller models
There are a few Fintechs in Europe that give you Spanish IBAN's. A lot of my Dutch friends in Valencia talked about a Dutch Fintech that does that. That was a few years back though. Also, I used Sabadell when I lived in Valencia and it was ok. Nothing to complain about to be honest.
I recently got a bunch of errors back from their API endpoint that didn't make sense until I realised that I didn;t have an credits left. Weirdly enough, it didn't say "No credits, pay us" but something else.
I then checked and I also must have lost like $100 or so that I topped up a year or 2 ago. Went back to top up again, but this time I actually use them quite a bit. But I'd never update large amounts with that policy as it doesn't really make sense to upgrade more than the minimum.
Credits should never really expire in my opinion.
Agreed! If you pay it, it should be yours forever, which is different than if you get credits for free.
