So who made this? Vercel? I know this is being posted by the Vercel CEO. Did you “commission” this as an ad? Or was it maybe built by a customer, and you helped him get visibility? What’s the story?

I take it that Show HN is not just about the creation but also about the creator and the journey behind what’s being shown.

Hi - I'm the developer who built this with Guillermo. We started an open source org (ai-ng) to play around with ideas that use cutting-edge AI products.

I'm 16, and have only been programming for a few years, so it's a good opportunity for me to learn a lot about web development and engineering.

Congrats! I wish I would have coded like that when I was 16. Tipping my hat!

Looking at the git repo (https://github.com/ai-ng/swift), it was made by some web developer, not Vercel. Likely OP (Vercel CEO) just made a mistake posting it as a "Show HN".

I've been acting mostly as the 'ideas guy' and helping with the architecture / QA. It's a great way for me to dogfood Vercel and build empathy as a user in an external org, using external services.

Thank you for clarifying, Guillermo.

Thanks for the shoutout! We're very excited about how this space is evolving and are working on new features and perf improvements to support experiences like this.

OP doesn't spam Show HN or anything, so probably worth giving the benefit of the doubt. If it doesn't comply they'll probably realize and fix it.
