Try our new AI Report Builder – AI powered insights on any database

Hey Hackernews! We’ve launched our new AI-powered report builder and we’re eager to get feedback. We set this up with some demo retail data, but this can plug into any SQL database to provide customer reporting through natural language. I’ve seen this type of feature demo well on other platforms, but never actually work, so we’re putting this out into the world for anyone to actually try themselves. We’re leveraging OpenAI under the hood and have made a ton of improvements to the prompt engineering to configure the reports (OpenAI doesn’t actually write the underlying SQL). Click into a…

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey Hackernews! We’ve launched our new AI-powered report builder and we’re eager to get feedback. We set this up with some demo retail data, but this can plug into any SQL database to provide customer reporting through natural language. I’ve seen this type of feature demo well on other platforms, but never actually work, so we’re putting this out into the world for anyone to actually try themselves. We’re leveraging OpenAI under the hood and have made a ton of improvements to the prompt engineering to configure the reports (OpenAI doesn’t actually write the underlying SQL). Click into a report or create a new report and click on the Report AI button on the top right to check it out!

    This website counts titles containing the standalone word "AI", case-sensitive and word-bounded. "OpenAI" doesn't count. "AI-powered" does. There's a toggle for a wider vocabulary: artificial intelligence spelled out, LLM, GPT, and model and vendor names. Some quick stats: - 14.4% of new HN titles this year, against 10.9% in 2025. On the wider vocabulary, 21.9% and 16.1%. - First month above 1% was Oct 2016. Above 5%, Feb 2023. Above 10%, May 2025. - Over the last five years the quietest month was Jan 2022 at 0.8%. The peak was Feb 2026 at 15.9%. - 13.6% on weekdays against 12.4% at…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
