Put AI to work this week
without becoming a programmer.

You lose hours every week to the same boring admin — the quote you retype, the email you triage — and you know AI should help but not where to start. I build the small tool that does one of those jobs for you. Grab it, watch the 90-second build, ship it today.

Danny de Vries Built by Danny de Vries Software founder — 20,000+ products shipped. Now I build one small AI tool at a time and hand it to you finished. More about me →

The email your tech retypes twenty times a day. The quote you rewrite by hand. Those “too custom to build” jobs are now the cheapest things in the world to make — and I hand them to you finished.

I spent a decade shipping software — north of 20,000 products — sure that wall was permanent. Then I watched a plain-English sentence turn into a working tool, and the math flipped: the specific, annoying job no software company will ever build for you became an afternoon’s work.

So I build one at a time, show you the 90-second build so you know it’s real, and tell you in one sentence what it touches. — Danny
