IDEAS YOU CAN ACTUALLY TRY
You don’t need to know which database, game engine or programming language to ask for. Start with what you want to make. These working demos show where that can lead.

What should you charge in a new market? We gather scattered evidence, weigh conflicting sources and show you what supports the answer. Try the method in our 233-page biography. Two names in a charter reveal who chose an abbey’s site.

Searchable collections
Search 503,073 catalog records and combine three filters for department, date and recorded public-domain status. In one repeat-visit browser test the initial page loaded in 0.24 seconds. A warm Van Gogh search returned in 0.13 seconds before artwork images loaded. A cold first search can take several seconds.
Static pages and a prepared catalogue queried on demand keep hosting inexpensive. There’s no dedicated database server to run around the clock. A comparable museum build costs US$200.
Game development
Describe a game you’d like to play. We build it, and you open the finished game in your browser. Drop a piece to clear a row in Block Crusher, or play against the computer in Color Connect.
Software development FREE + OPEN SOURCE
With your approval, we can reuse open-source software to save you development time and money. Here we integrated the z80e emulator and KnightOS, then tested the programs with the calculator’s controls. Try a graph or run a program yourself.
UNDER THE HOOD
Each demo includes a plain-English tour of the choices, code and specialist work behind it. Here’s the bigger picture.
The human brings the goal, taste and feedback. AI investigates the unfamiliar parts, reads relevant guides, and works out a practical route.
Useful open-source software can supply proven capabilities. AI checks the licenses, connects the pieces and builds the custom experience around them. The calculator credits those foundations and shares its source.
AI writes and integrates the software, tests the important behavior, refines the interface and sets up hosting. Once published, ordinary software powers your searches, calculations and moves.
