Show HN: Seppen – Turn prompts into shareable web UIs

"AI is currently in it's CLI era" is a take I saw somewhere that I couldn't get out of my head. So I built Seppen with the goal of bringing AI into it's GUI era to make AI's functionality accessible to an even wider range of people.

You can paste any prompt into Seppen and you will get a nice looking web UI that serves the functionality of that prompt on a silver platter in a couple minutes.

Seppen automatically detects which parts of the prompt need to be fixed to get a consistent output, and which parts can be customized and picks a fitting input component for those variable parts of the prompt. Then all you have to do is fill in the details as you want and press generate.

It's much easier to share, save, and manage these UIs than having to store thousands of words worth of prompts in some notes app.

Currently, Seppen supports prompts that produce text, images, and tables (that you can export to csv) and can access the internet to get up-to-date information for prompts that need it (e.g. for a stock comparison prompt or research prompt)

You can paste any prompt you have saved on X or that you have somewhere in your notes and see how it works. There are a few ready made examples on the homepage, but if you want to see some more I would encourage you to go to my profile page (/egor) and check out the collections.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback and would be very curious to discuss the take I put at the start of the post.
