Hey everyone!
Apologies for not getting a longer essay post out yet this week – I’ll be dropping it tomorrow in a rare Saturday post for paid subscribers, so you can look forward to that!
Anyway, the reason I’m writing now is because I need your help with a future post!
I was blown away by the response to my recent piece on some of the cool things I’ve done recently with AI. It’s made me more convinced than ever that you really need to see AI doing something cool, and practical that is relatable, to truly understand the implications of the technology.
So in that spirit, I want to put together a post for a future week that will attempt to inspire my readers to experience. I’m going to host an AI Show & Tell! I want to hear your personal stories about your own personal AI projects – the apps you’ve built, the widgets you’ve vibe-coded, and the prompts you’ve sent that have blown your mind.
Here’s some ground-rules for what I’m looking for:
I want projects that you, personally have created or worked on.
I want to hear about things you made for fun or personal utility – please don’t pitch me your business.
Bonus points for cool hardware projects, or ideas that other people might be able to replicate on their own.
And please don’t necessarily expect an email back as my inbox is a horror, but I do read everything and your contributions are appreciated!
If you’d like to share your story, drop me an email on psythor (at) gmail.com or reply to this email. Please provide a maximum of 300 (human-written) words describing what you did, or what you’ve built, and please attach a maximum of two screenshots/photos.1
Then in a future week I’ll put together a round-up of the best!
Cheers,
James
PS: Don’t forget to listen to this week’s YIMBY Pod too, as I think it’s a good one!
PPS: Separate from this, I’m always interested in hearing what obscure bits of the public sector are doing with tech, so I can write more articles like this. So do get in touch and tell me about cool stuff that is happening!
I also reserve the right to edit your words to tidy them up / make them comprehensible / etc. And I may not use everything – I’m obviously looking for a diversity of ideas so I don’t (necessarily) just want to feature 20 custom calendar apps.
