AN IDEA IS A PLACE TO START

Experiments.

A place to try things with AI: software, guides and tools that start with a question, a practical problem or something I’m curious about.

What happens when you try the idea?

I use ChatGPT and Codex to explore ideas and turn them into things I can use and check. Each project here explains what prompted it, how it was made and where you can take a closer look.
