ChatHN
What is ChatHN?
ChatHN lets you query Hacker News with plain English instead of clicking through story lists and comment threads. Ask for top stories, request a markdown table of scores and links, or summarize the comments on a trending post. The app routes your question to the official Hacker News API through OpenAI function calling.
Most news readers show you a fixed feed. ChatHN is closer to a developer demo that shows how function calling can turn a public API into a conversational interface. It is open source, built with the Vercel AI SDK, and meant as a reference project you can fork and deploy with your own OpenAI key rather than a full news product.
Developers exploring AI agents, Hacker News regulars who want quick summaries, and anyone learning OpenAI function calling use it as a working example. The hosted version at chathn.vercel.app is free to try, and the GitHub repo includes a one-click Vercel deploy template.
