Show HN: Not Another AI Platform
A 15-year-old developer built HelloAI, an AI workspace platform offering features like tool-calling, web search, and advanced reasoning. The platform emphasizes interactive "cards" and "widgets" (e.g., email drafts, flashcards, checklists) over standard text paragraphs to make AI outputs more usable. It supports the latest AI models and continues to be developed based on user feedback.
Background
- The post is a "Show HN" — a showcase post on Hacker News where makers share side-projects for community feedback. The author is a 15-year-old solo developer, which adds context about the project's scope and ambition.<br>- "AI workspace platform" refers to a web app that acts as a unified interface for using large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4, Claude, etc., similar to tools like Poe, ChatGPT Plus, or TypingMind.<br>- "Tool-calling" is a capability where an AI model can invoke external functions (e.g., search the web, run code) — a key feature of advanced LLMs that many simple chat interfaces don't fully expose.<br>- "Custom elements" or "cards/widgets" are structured UI components (e.g., a checklist that can be toggled, an email draft in a formatted box) rather than plain text output — a UX differentiation from standard chat interfaces.<br>- The broader landscape: many AI platforms exist but typically output raw prose. The project tries to solve the "blocks of text" problem by rendering AI responses as interactive, purpose-built components.
