Protecting my wallet by ratelimiting OpenAI requests

Brandix.ai is a free tool designed to help users generate unique names for projects or companies by leveraging OpenAI's GPT-3.5 models. Users can interact with the tool through a chat interface to request name suggestions based on a project description, which are then processed and filtered to ensure uniqueness and relevance. The tool also includes a domain availability check to determine if a suggested name can be registered as a web domain, using a combination of DNS lookups and WHOIS database queries to minimize unnecessary requests. To manage costs associated with offering the service for free, Brandix.ai employs Upstash and its ratelimit library to restrict excessive usage by monitoring the frequency of requests based on user IP addresses. This project, developed using technologies such as Next.js, Vercel, and Tailwind, exemplifies the ease of creating small yet production-ready applications.
