Things I'm building with AI
Seventeen years of producing taught me that good work comes from how it gets made. These are the things I'm building with AI now: how each one works, where I sign off, and what broke along the way.
Live brikz, a home page you build by talking
The first tab I open every morning. Every tile on it is a tiny app, and I make new ones by describing them to Claude inside the tile.
Live The Cozy Bow Company, an almost-autonomous Etsy shop
An AI print-on-demand shop where every stage runs on its own, except the one where I approve each design from my phone.
Live Kotoba, a Japanese tutor you talk to
A hands-free Japanese vocabulary app that runs entirely by voice, built and run with AI from the content pipeline to the YouTube channel.
Live This site, rebuilt with AI
Replacing a $26/month Squarespace site with a hand-built Astro site, produced with Claude Code and Codex as the crew.
Prototype Scrawl, your handwriting as a real font
Draw each letter once on your phone or laptop and get back a working .ttf file of your own handwriting, built in a morning with Claude Code.
Live Golf tee-time alerts
A bot that watches 60-plus public golf courses and pings me the moment a tee time I want opens up. Built with Claude Code, one weekend round at a time.
Live A Tokyo house hunt, zoned by machine
A zoning map, a breakeven calculator and an hourly listing watcher — built with Claude Code to find a Togoshi-Ginza house that can legally run as a full-time Airbnb.
Prototype The Ember Archive
A public-domain library of plain-text how-to guides, built so anyone can take the whole thing home and run it with no internet.
