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.

20,000+ products shipped over a decade Author of Generative AI READY Every tool here is one I built and use
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 boring, you-shaped problem you were told was “too custom to build” is now the easiest kind of thing to make — and I hand it to you finished.

For thirty years, “make the computer do this” meant “learn to code, or hire someone who can.” I spent a decade building software — north of 20,000 products — believing that wall was permanent.

Then it fell. I watched a plain-English description turn into a working tool, and realized the specific, annoying job no software company will ever build for you is suddenly the cheapest thing in the world to make. So now I build one small tool at a time, show you the 90-second build so you know it’s real, and tell you in one sentence what it does with your data. — Danny
