Built Before Breakfast
Real tools, built with AI before breakfast.
Before breakfast, I build something small and useful with AI, then write up how. Read the story, try the tool, or learn to build your own in the Academy.
The experiments
Every build, newest first
Each one starts with a small annoyance and ends with something that works. Read how it was made, try it, then build your own.
