Comment on Ask HN: What are you actually using LLMs for in production?

Comments

1. Pre-prompting for image and video generation. Gives you way better results for less than a cent of added cost. Although many image models do this thing for you; you have to understand each individual model and apply this judiciously.

2. I build REPLs into any manual workflow that makes use of LLMs. Instead of just being like "F@ck, it didn't work!" you can instead tell the LLM why it didn't work and help it get the right answer. Saves a ton of time.

3. Coming up with color palettes, themes, and ideas for "content". LLMs are really good at pumping out good looking input for whatever factory you have built.

How do you do the REPL integration into the manual workflow? Could you explain that a bit?
