What have you built with AI assistance?

As per the title, has anyone built anything interesting?

I currently have three ambitious things in the works. But one that's starting to take shape is a sprite animator:



It's currently built in rust and the ui is part of one of the projects I'm working on, basically an experimental ui framework.

That's looking impressive!

I have around 58 lightweight utilities, mostly python, for various purposes - the majority are intended for graphics and multimedia processing, editing, manipulation, organisation. Things like Wordcloud generators, Music Visualisers, File and folder renamers, file format converters, file archivers, audio analysis, VFX generators, around 30 or so ComfyUI video and image nodes, prompt nodes, detailing nodes, post processing nodes. I built my own front end, integrated into Ollama for Chat / Image captioning / reverse prompt engineering.
Then recently I managed to get a few browser extensions made and published. Now also dabbling in iOS app development - trying to remake some of the aforementioned python utils in Xcode / Swift for iOS and iPadOS. In fact, I already have one or two utils made and running on my phone to reduce some of the friction of our mundane / tedious day-job tasks. Timers, message generators, clipboard utils, fillable forms...

Nice.

I’ve seen some very cool ideas floating around. Friend of mine built an entire editorial system they generated erotica lol, what’s even worse is that sites are paying for the stories. Literally passive 500$ for “‘make hot romantic story, make it gud”.

Started around my local music collection and Plex.

GUI to manage all my Plex playlists, remove duplicates, merge Playlists, scan for Dynamic range and pick highest and add that to playlist rather.
GUI to scan my iTunes library (current music manager) integrate it into Plex so I sync ratings/playlists etc. - use Plexamp and Plex is awe full manager.
GUI that scans Deezer + Spotify + Tidal or whatever service I choose, allows me to auto-rate my Plex music library according to popularity tags from online services, also alerts to new releases from Artists i listen to in case I missed a song on an album I might like.

File Converters - .flac to alac
GUI tool to sign RDP files with a self-signed certificate to suppress security warnings after the April 2026 update.

Can open apple music website and can now download .m4a (alac) directly to my downloads.

File/Folder structure - Script that retrieves audio info and creates nice folder structure - Foreigner\2026 - Feels Like The First Time (Live From Ellis Island) - Single\Feels Like The First Time (Live From Ellis Island) (2026-04-17).m4a - for songs I download so everything nice and perfect.

Work wise added function to our sync program, scans source and if too many files have been altered, say more than 10%, it then aborts the sync - trying to prevent ransomware damage.

More to come....

Nice, it resembles Spritemancer.

Never heard or seen that before.

Checked it now, nah, it doesn't resemble it. Perhaps the graph system I've been planning but still pretty far off.

The developer abandoned it a long time ago. Always promise, always coming, not delivering due to reasons. I use other pixel tools, but I mostly use it to design website related things.

 

[Pho3nix]

Some utilities also.

RDP Streamer to YouTube for some other “projects”
Screenshot itemizer into Bear with context for iOS
Twitter bookmark organiser into Bear (Obsidian alternative)

Basically run Hermes as a Research agent as well. Might get it to start managing my calendar also. Got a few Azure credits and been using them for Foundry.

Just this week I got AI to write me a hello world app. It's a start.

 

[Creag]

I am planning to build a quote tool for use in Motor insurance. Just need a gap at work to work on this. Until then, I have been using it to assist my in analysing policy wording (provide contract certainty, broaden and increase fairness in cover for the policyholder, etc.), working on new covers for our policyholders, and explanatory notes for my colleagues.

With 35+ years in the game, this is allowing me to share my knowledge, upskill my amazing colleagues, and leave a lasting legacy (but dynamic) for those joining our business. I always thoroughly evaluate everything against what I have learnt and my gut instinct.

But like a friend in the business said, AI may not going to replace me. Another person using AI definitely will replace me.

For me, this is all about giving back to the industry I have worked in and love.

We use an ancient tool called SQLWord, it basically allows you to put PL/SQL in a word document and execute that against a database to create an output document that you can send out, like a mail merge. Anyway, seeing if we can replace it using a Python solution, so far it looks like it might be doable but it won't be a complete drop in replacement, regardless, it's fun to prototype.

I have built a huge list of blocked accounts for using AI on various platforms.

Why not just use a document template system, write the query and push it to a document template and generate the output.

Howzit guys,


I'm a System Administrator with absolutely no software development experience.
I am feeling like I am falling behind with all the AI tools coming out, so I decided to jump in and see what I could build using Codex and AI assistance.

After messing around with a few different app ideas, I settled on building a PDF scanner utility for Android. It was definitely a learn-as-I-go project, but I think it turned out pretty well considering I started with almost no development knowledge.
I'd really appreciate any feedback—good or bad. I'm keen to learn and improve.

Looks great, nice and clean and functional. I'd try it out, but I don't have an Android device.

Thanks, Being new to this and listening to the AI hype. I thought this would be a lot easier.
I quickly learnt that you cant just tell it i want this build it.
You have to baby and guide it a lot more than I expected

Definitely. AI has gotten better for dev work, but even for the simplest tasks it still needs substantial oversight, tweaking, revision, refinement. Sometimes scrapping and starting over.
