Happy to show hibi.is :)

Hey there!

I’m happy to tell you more today about a little project I worked on recently called hibi. “hibi” means “days” or “everyday” in Japanese and its purpose is to use AI to generate everyday summaries of the latest news stories, either on curated topics or topics you define yourself.

It obviously uses the Perplexity API to build the summaries, provide full details of summary stories, and also to answer related questions about the stories.

Want to have a look at it ?

Please tell me what you think, what could be better, what’s broken, or what’s missing!

@Kesku Do I need to mention the use of the Perplexity API anywhere?

sorry as a new user here, I can’t add more screenshots

Hey, this is awesome! Design is clean and a fitting name (as someone travelling around Japan right now I can appreciate the name haha, 日々 is smart!)

I’s good practice to add attribution to Sonar/Perplexity somewhere (e.g. in the footer or an about page), but it isnt strictly necessary.

Also, just bumped your trust level so you should be able to post more screenshots and links freely!!
Appreciate you sharing this and curious to see how it evolves

Thanks for your answer @Kesku, I’m glad you like it ! Thx a lot for the level update, I’ve added more screens.

You’re so lucky to be traveling in Japan! Enjoy!

This is amazing, I love the design and the idea of it. Can you please help me with curl, how you calling the perplexity API? For sure only if this is not something you would like to keep it as a secret. Anyhow I would def see myself using this in the future.

Hi Daniel and thanks a lot for the kind words, I’m really happy you like hibi and I’m really glad it is useful for you. I’m trying do make it better every day so do not hesitate to give me some feedback on it, what’s working, what’s not, everything .

Regarding your question, I’m using the perplexity API thru their JS SDK and it’s really easy to use. You should find everything you need in the API documentation here:

Overview - Perplexity Chat Completions SDK - Perplexity

It is pretty easy as well to test it quickly thru curl (you just need an API key obviously)

curl https://api.perplexity.ai/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "sonar-pro",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user", 
        "content": "What are the major AI developments and announcements from today across the tech industry?"
      }
    ]
  }' | jq

I hope it helps!

Cheers!

I’m taking the opportunity from Daniel’s message to share updated screenshots of what hibi.is looks like now, as it has evolved a bit since the first version posted here. Feel free to try it out and let me know what you think !
