AI-Powered DNS for TXT Queries!

#devchallenge #githubchallenge #ai #dns

This is a submission for the GitHub Copilot Challenge : New Beginnings

What I Built

It is a DNS server that can use the LM model to answer user queries.

Feature:

Save bandwidth as it is just a DNS call.
Directly call the LLM model using the terminal.

To use it

dig @dns.auenkr.me -p 9005 +short TXT write.query.with.periods

How does it work?

Send a TXT record to the DNS server. The subdomain contains the question to be asked by LLM. LLM answers the query the result is sent back to the user.

Copilot Experience

I normally use JavaScript for development purposes. But to know more about Copilot I decide to write this project in Golang.

I prompt the Copilot on what I want to create, the logic part. It converts it into the go-lang language.

I was amazed that I was able to create this project even though I didn't know Go Lang.

GitHub Models

Generating code based on Comments I write.
While debugging the code. When some error occurs, to better understand why it occurs.

Conclusion

This is a fun project for me.
I was thinking of doing this project for a long time. This project is inspired by https://github.com/knadh/dns.toys.
