Chatting with products is truly an amazing experience instead of clicking around.

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

[Pietro Schirano @skirano]

OpenAI's new function calling is amazing!

I created a simple Python app on @replit for you to experiment with function calling and external APIs.

In the template, using the new functionality, we generate an image using @replicatehq 🎨

About 2 years ago, when a private equity firm bought StackOverflow for $1.8B, I was unsure if this would be a good exit. 'Surely StackOverflow should be worth more?' I thought.

; @MicrosoftEdge is blocking Replit as “unsafe” this is affecting hundreds of thousands of users including students in class who depend on this for their education.

Can someone at Edge help us get this resolved?
