       Show HN: Auto-generate load tests/synthetic test data from OpenAPI
       spec/HAR file
        
       Hey HN,  We just shipped a new AI-powered feature... BUT the "AI"
       piece is largely in the background. Instead of relying on a
       chatbot, we've integrated AI (with strict input & output
       guardrails) into a workflow to handle two specific tasks that would
       be difficult for traditional programming:  1. Identifying the most
       relevant base URL from HAR files, since it would be tedious to
       cover every edge case or scenario to omit analytics, tracking, and
       other network noise.  2. Generating synthetic data for API requests
       by passing the API context and faker-js functions to GPT-4.  The
       steps are broken down into a simple flow, with users working with
       the AI and verifying the output throughout.  All of the focus is on
       reducing cognitive load and speeding up test generation.  Let me
       know what you think!
