Ask HN: What Have You Built Privately with AI That You'd Like to Share?

2 points by erelong 1 hour ago

An idea has circulated that a lot of us are just privately building software for our own projects without sharing the build

We could however share the ideas of what we're building so that other people could build sometime similar to fill their own needs or the ideas could be incorporated in to other projects

A lot of random things come to mind for me, like I started (but for now abandoned) some kind of picture icon viewer by date on Linux desktop. A lot of smartphone file viewers display pics this way automatically and it lets you look at what pics you've accumulated day by day, but I didn't see this feature on different Linux file viewers (and it was apparently a requested feature others were looking for).

So what have you built privately with AI that you might like to share ideas about?

edit: alternatively, are there any things you'd like to see others create (and I suppose a comment about what holds you back from creating them)?

I don't feel like I made it, but I asked AI to build a cashflow manager chart thing for me. I can upload CSVs from my bank statements, and it displays my cashflow as a graph over time, and then I can put in upcoming and recurring expenses, so to see how much money I'm going to have to borrow over the next six months until my revenue catches up with all my pending liabilities. It feels like I'm in control if I can see the graph of my money, even if it goes pretty far negative.
