The big idea
Webhooks let one service ping yours when something happens — like Discord telling your bot a message arrived. AI can scaffold the endpoint and explain why your webhook keeps getting hit twice.
Some examples
- Ask AI to build a Stripe webhook receiver
- Ask AI to verify the signature so randos can't spam you
- Ask AI why your webhook keeps timing out
- Ask AI to log the body so you can debug
Try it!
Pick a service you use (Discord, GitHub, Stripe). Ask AI to scaffold a webhook endpoint for it including signature verification. Read every line before deploying.
