About

SlangThesaurus Translator is an AI-powered online tool providing users with urban thesaurus and slang translations. Users enter a word or phrase into the search bar to generate a slang translation. SlangThesaurus Translator was designed to help users understand and interpret slang language, colloquial expressions, and informal terms traditionally found outside of standard dictionaries.

How they use Cloudflare

SlangThesaurus Translator uses OpenAI's ChatGPT API to translate text with Workers AI to run inference tasks on language models like Hugging Face @cf/baai/bge-small-en-v1.5. The application’s pipeline includes a web scraper that pulls every slang word from urban dictionaries, then embeds words and phrases of user input. Embedded words are then stored in a database. SlangThesaurus used Cloudflare Workers to build a real-time Retrieval-Augmented Generation application (RAG) by integrating a dictionary API to compare existing dictionary words and phrases to the embedded database.

Why Cloudflare?

“I wanted to ensure the platform solution was cost effective and performant. Cloudflare was great here because of the free tiers and the benefit of a consolidated global application.”
