This is what I thought the future will be like since years ago. Everybody is going to be harmless since llms will translate and cushion, or outright censor any problematic communication.
For a long time I've wanted to write a self-censoring browser tool that sits between my social media forms and the HTTP call that sends what I type. It was going to be rudimentary: when you hit "post" on FB/TWT/etc., some quick sentiment analysis happens and prompts the user—upon detecting negative speech—"are you sure you want to send this?"
The idea is that you have actual triggers to remind you to be kind. Nextdoor has something like this, if you use profanity or other charged words, it will gently nudge you: remember to be kind.
(Obviously, if you know Nextdoor, this doesn't work. Lotta "random minority is scaring me by existing near my house")
But incorporating an LLM might be awesome. I am not wedded to the idea of censoring incoming speech, but I'd sure like to be nudged if I am being a problem.
There used to be a web-based tool you could give it your Reddit username, and it would do an analysis of your posts and give you statistics and a kindness score (or something like that).
I found that my enjoyment of the website went up by regularly running that script, because it reinforced that I should be kinder online (I find this more difficult than in meatspace), and by being kinder, it was far less likely I'd get a mean response, which lowered stress levels.
Maybe this would be a useful project to work on. A browser plugin of some kind, if Monkeyscript or something can use Rust-based web workers. I really don't know where browser tech is these days.
I explored whether this could be helpful in an online dispute resolution platform. The system could detect insulting or angry messages that threaten to derail a conversation, and suggest a more neutral way of formulating them. I think it's promising!
I built Audiala [1][2][3], which is a platform that creates virtual tour guides that goes with you anywhere in the world. While the content is mostly static now, the pipeline is there to make it entirely personal for each user, once I figured out how to deal with the API costs.
The next steps are to adapt the content based on realtime user feedback or queries like "What happened on this street during the French Revolution?" or "Tell me more about this building’s history." as well as offering step by step itinerary suggestions.
I believe it's now possible to build an Augmented Reality solution, where you leave your phone in your pocket, put some airpods and you listen or converse with your personal tour guide and fully immerse yourself in history.
It’s a browser extension that lets you capture a portion of the webpage —> the image gets sent to an LLM with a prompt —> the LLM gives design feedback inside the extension
As far as I know, this is the only tool I’ve seen that does this, and it’s completely free. It’s called Design CoPilot, and I haven’t done any real marketing yet as it’s in Beta.
Before I built this, I would manually screen capture components, then go to ChatGPT and drop the image, write a prompt telling ChatGPT it’s a design expert and I want design feedback, and then read its reply and implement the feedback.
I’d greatly appreciate if you try the tool and leave a review!
Just a quick thought about the name. Microsoft/GitHub's coding assistant is Copilot. If your project gets traction, I'm certain you will receive a cease and desist letter for using the name Design CoPilot.
I've built an LLM powered Anki clone - https://vocabuo.com. In my language learning journey, I've found that adding each word manually, with audio, image and a sentence example was just too tedious, so in Vocabuo, I add a word and LLMs + dalle + google tts generate the rest.
Currently it supports English, German and Spanish, but I plan to add more languages in the future.
As a bonus you can also add words from yt videos and websites.
Can you please create a simple UX to connect to the database like username, password box etc. I just an error right now saying invalid dsn, but does not tell me what is wrong.
I built a native all-in-one AI client called BoltAI[0]
It’s one of the first AI clients I think. I’ve been working on it for 16 months and shipped more than 100 releases.
It started with the idea of invoking an LLM within the Apple Notes app. I hate going back-and-forth between the Notes app and ChatGPT web app.
So I built the “AI inline” feature where I can trigger a keyboard shortcut and it would send the prompt to OpenAI and get the answer back.
But this is quite advanced, not many users can use it.
So later I added the full Chat UI.
I don’t want to charge a subscription and manage AI tokens so I sell perpetual licenses with 1 year of update. Users bring their own API keys.
As an all-in-one client, it unlocks some interesting features that I didn’t expect in the beginning: the ability to switch between multiple AI services and models.
This allows me to use Web Browsing with Claude, for example.
I later added support for Function Calling and this has unlocked many capabilities: edit video with ffmpeg plugin (give instructions to the LLM and it would execute the ffmpeg command locally), search the web using advanced search engine such as Kagi, WolframAlpha, Analyze documents and source code similarly to Claude Project…
And finally I added the AI Command feature where you can prompt directly with the highlighted text. Imagine you’re reading an article and wanted to list key takeaways, you can press a keyboard shortcut, choose the command and it would show you a quick answer. You can build any command you want: from summarization to translation or grammar fix…
I also built another free app called ShotSolve[1]. It allows you to take a screenshot with a keyboard shortcut and quickly analyze it with an LLM.
During building BoltAI, a customer asked for the ability to analyze PDF documents so I decided to build another app for that use case called PDF Pals[2]
These apps allow me to quit my job and pursue solopreneurship full time.
Huge fan of BoltAI here! It scratch a huge itch for me, a chat with AI program that allows me to use my own API key, with web search support. Not many apps out there supports this!

I also built this incremental clicker game where you split words ad infinitum (like Infinite Craft but in reverse):

I suck at web design, so I built a novel tool [0] that streamlines this flow:
webpage —> screen capture —> LLM prompt —> design feedback

So I built a tool called Uiino. It lets you make story maps with plain text. Later, I added AI. Now it can generate maps instantly.
It's helped tons of people map out their apps. Gives them a clear bird eye view of their apps/flows.

P.S. We just hit 10,000 website visitors. And 300+ monthly active users. It's all free. I'm pretty stoked about it.
Currently it supports English, German and Spanish, but I plan to add more languages in the future.
As a bonus you can also add words from yt videos and websites.
Now my product manager and customer support teams use it for most small questions / charts needed.
