Hey HN! My name is Keith and I'm the founder of Autocode. We provide an online IDE and serverless hosting platform for building webhooks, APIs and bots. We specialize in helping folks build software that connects APIs together -- think Zapier if it were instead a "full code" solution with guardrails to help new developers. Our goal is to help folks do more with APIs by making the web more programmable.

We just launched DiscordGPT: it's an open source (Node.js) template that connects Discord `bot_mention` events to OpenAI's `completions` API. What's exciting to me is how fast anybody can patch a few APIs together to have a nearly ChatGPT-quality personalized AI in their own Discord server. Takes only a minute or two and works out-of-the-box. Completions are powered via the `text-davinci-003` model and webhooks are automatically configured by Autocode.

I wanted to share it with the HN community for two reasons: (1) it's probably the fastest way to build a GPT-powered bot and it's super hackable, I think folks here would enjoy. (2) it's a good opportunity to show off Autocode! 80% of our users identify as "technical, but not a developer" but we're seeing more uptake from professional engineering teams and I'm interested in getting feedback!
