Playground
Small AI tools I built to experiment with. They are playful and secondary to the projects, and each one works a little differently, so the notes below say how to try it.
Worth trying first
AI Pitch Deck Generator
Type a startup topic and get a 6-slide, VC-style deck.
It helped me save a lot of time coming up with a starting template for internal stakeholder meetings.
How to try it: Demo mode works with no accounts or keys. For AI-written slides with real images, add your own Anthropic and Unsplash keys.
More experiments
Dream Excuse Generator
Type a boring excuse and get an absurd one back. A fun one to play with.
How to try it: Works right away with built-in templates and no key. Paste your own OpenAI key if you want AI-written excuses.
TikTok Script Generator
Give it a topic and it drafts a short TikTok script.
How to try it: Needs your own AI provider key to write the script. A News API key is optional and adds real headlines.
AI Existential Crisis Bot
Paste in some code and get a dramatic philosophical critique of how it is built.
How to try it: Uses the AI provider you choose. If every service fails, it falls back to canned answers so it still responds.
AI Content Generator
Drafts blog posts, social copy, email campaigns, and product descriptions.
How to try it: Mock mode needs no key. For real AI output, add your own OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or Hugging Face key.
Have a technical problem, AI or otherwise, that needs a second pair of eyes?
