Hey HN, this is a tool I developed for fun this morning. I'm so sick and tired of Google, Alexa and Siri giving me back a 25 minutes podcast of an answer to the simple questions of "can my dog eat xyz?"

It's simple, it's fun and I think it's useful somehow.

Looking forward to your feedbacks!

Google gives me concise bulleted lists of foods toxic to dogs. Even the AI Google is slopping out gives me a one-liner of, "No, Dogs cannot eat ${X}".

So while there is nothing wrong with building a tool, I don't buy the origin story.

It may be region-related then. Where I'm based, even If I ask Google in english, it just gives me a 1-minute (at least) answer. It was just a 2h hackathon project for fun. It also tweets all the answers that doesn't go against the twitter guidelines, so even if you ask weird stuff like shards of glass, it'll tweet it.

But regardless of that, thanks for your input! :)
