‘Sailor’ seems to have confused it, no results, just infinite(?) progress spinner.


Got the same with "Contraption"

Also the backend may be going down due to increased traffic

EDIT: simple queries that map logically to common emojis are still working. :(

Edit 2: adventurer, ruins, canal all also endlessly load.

Either there is an optimization or cache for common words, or this is useless


"dexterity" similarly


Heyy, I'm the owner of the webapp. I ran out of OpenAI credits but now it works again!


See if you can sell the idea to a keyboard app.


same with "thirst" ... gen z will not like this one bit!


Is this costing you OpenAI tokens for every new word you generate emojis for?


Unfortunately, yes :( If this gets some attention I'll need to find a way to monetize it, at least to cover expenses


do you cache repeated requests? or do you always go thru openai?


he caches to redis, I checked the network request on common words.


Hey! I'm the creator of the webapp, thanks dadt for sharing! The app has been down for some hours because of the huge spike in requests (I had set a hard limit on spend in the OpenAI website), but now is running again. Thanks for all the comments! Had a great time reading them.


This is pretty cool! I can search for emojis on my phone keyboard but it's limited, I'd love for this to be implemented in Android.


I made a version of this for personal use to suggest emojis - at the sentence level. It works incredibly well.

The way it works, it's a Chrome Extension where I highlight a tweet I wrote, or email title and GPT-3 sparkles the perfect emoji (according to it) at the start/end of text (before the fullstop or comma)

Funny timing, I built it on Thursday!


Yay! --emojis. For those times when actually writing a word is just far too much hassle.

The next stage in the human race's descent into illiteracy will be a service which translates your emojis into Neanderthal grunts.


This is actually really impressive. I tried a few naughty-ish words of course. 'Diarrhea' in particular gave me a chuckle for its accuracy.


Interesting. I built something similar a while ago :)

offline?


Whoops, it's https://emojiai.com

My bad


Pretty awesome and solid suggestions. This would be a better search interface than having to type the exact name of the emoji.


I can dutifully report that "penis" faithfully suggests both and .

Edit: HN strips out emoji. I'm not mad, but why?


Too many colors, I guess™

Not ALL unicode is stripped of course, so you can still get 𓂺 because that's important and an eggplant is not.

Apparently it’s an Egyptian hieroglyph (nsfw).


I think artificial reasons rather than technical, a sense of... superiority without them or similar if I recall.


Love this! I built something similar using GPT recently: https://suggest.gift

I had to switch from OpenAI's models to GPT-J because OpenAI's policies were restrictive. How did you get around that? My guess is that since you are only outputting Emoji's it might be allowed.


It’s weird but when I try “upset/upsetting”, I get nothing


Prompt: Mom's dead

Emoji: skull


This is where I'd love for the combining characters to work on ALL emoji (dunno how so I'll just say AI) - so you could combine "Woman Feeding Baby" and "Skull" and get a skeleton woman feeding a baby (or something).
