Show HN: AI assistant powered by Groq to generate authorization models
I want to share with you that we've built an AI assistant to help modeling your desired authorization logic! You can basically describe your authorization logic in Permify AI and it will generate the respective model and semantics accordingly. Think of it like ChatGPT for authorization modeling/policy generation.
Here's the project if you would like to play with it: https://ai.permify.co/.
Brief backstory:
Since authorization is generally a domain specific issue use cases vary widely - roles, relationships, attributes, hierarchies between business units, contextual permissions, etc.
To address this, we're offering a domain specific language that we built purely using golang to help model authorization logic programmatically. You can see what it looks like with sample examples in our playground: https://play.permify.co/
Although our domain specific language helps our users significantly, the general idea of policy generation is hard challenging if you have complex authorization logic and versatile permission requirements. Additionally, the flexibility of our modeling language allows for achieving the same policy/permissions through various approaches. But creating the best possible policy is crucial for several reasons including the performance of access checks, the readability of the authorization logic, visibility, and achieving least privilege, etc.
When we tallied up all those reasons, it hit us: using AI could really smooth out the policy generation process. It could not only reduce the engineering effort but also yield the best possible results. That's why we integrated Groq to make to create Permify AI!
Would love to get your feedback on this!
