I'm building my own JARVIS

I'm an first time founder running my own content production agency where I help businesses get more eye and real $$ through my explainer videos.

If you know how agency works then you probably knows that getting client and reaching out is the most boring work to do. That's why, as in CS student undergrad I'm building my own JARVIS, who can run my system and perform all the day to day tasks while I'm talking talking to him like a old friend on a phone call (imagine tony Stark's Jarvis in iron man movie)

I do not have a complete knowledge about digital or saas products but I do understand it's backend structure. I'm building it on my own and u can say I have built a working model about 30% now.

If anyone has experience in something like this then I would love to connect with and if thing goes well then we can build amazing software for personal use and then I also have an idea to scale.

What are you guys actually building with AI right now?

What are you guys actually building with AI right now?

I keep seeing AI demos everywhere, but I’m more interested in real-world stuff people are implementing for businesses or users.

Curious about:

* tools people are paying for
* automations that save real time
* AI SaaS ideas
* workflows using GPT/Claude/etc
* opportunities that still feel early

Would love to hear what everyone’s working on.

E-SWAN — concept electric scooter modeled in Plasticity

A concept 50 MPH electric scooter I just published. Every part modeled in

Plasticity as a closed solid — ̶M̶a̶n̶u̶f̶a̶c̶t̶u̶r̶e̶r̶-̶r̶e̶a̶d̶y̶ geometry, not just

decorative shapes. Brought into Blender via STEP for shading and rendering

in Cycles.

The wider project around the model: full brand system, owner's guidebook,

concept book, mockups, a live interactive site, and a 4K cinematic film.

Full project on Behance:

https://www.behance.net/gallery/249466959/E-SWAN-Concept-Electric-Scooter-Industrial-Design

Built end-to-end at MS3DSTUDIO (MS_Creation&More) — Alexandria, Egypt 🇪🇬

---

EDIT: Fair point from the comments — I called this "manufacturer-ready" and

that was the wrong word. This is a concept industrial design study with

closed-solid CAD source, not an engineering-validated production prototype.

No FEA, no DFM review, no validated battery/controller layout behind the

renders. The correct framing is: concept design + full design package, ready

for an engineering partner to start from — not to start production from.

Thanks to the folks who pushed back, that's the kind of feedback you can't

get any other way.

Do you think local AI is hard?

I genuinely feel like local AI is being massively underestimated right now.

Not because the models are bad anymore, but because the experience around them is still too technical for most people. Cloud AI dominates mostly because it’s simple: you open an app and it just works.

But local AI already has huge advantages in privacy, ownership and long-term cost, and hardware keeps getting better every year. That’s why I honestly think the future is hybrid AI: local by default, cloud only when needed.

So I started building a project called Euler around this idea. The goal is to make local AI feel as seamless as using ChatGPT — your own AI node running at home, accessible from any device, with optional cloud fallback when you need more power.

Still early, but I really think local AI is missing its “ChatGPT moment” in terms of usability.

So I need to know: would you actually use something like this? Or am I building this for no one?

I’d love to know cause I’ve been expending a lot of time on this.

If you’re bleeding tokens on data grids, here is a Claude Skill that 10x’d my dev speed and cut my token usage by 85%!

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to share Lytenyte Grid AI Skills. If you use Claude Code for your frontend UI and need a data grid, this will 100% help you save a ton of time and drastically reduce token usage!

Like me, you have probably learned that prompting your way to a data grid that works usually ends in a mess and broken edge cases. There are many good reasons for this, but basically, “that ish gets complex.”

LyteNyte Grid AI Skills is free and open source. It comes with 20 highly detailed reference files that cover virtually every aspect of the data grid, from installation to complex implementations.

If you're unfamiliar with LyteNyte Grid, it’s a 40 KB, lightning-fast, zero-dependency data grid with over 150 features (shameless marketing pitch, apologies!).

Anyways, the reason Skills is so unbelievably effective with LyteNyte Grid is that, unlike other grids, LyteNyte Grid has a declarative API and a 100% stateless, fully prop-driven architecture.

At the risk of getting overly technical, here is why this architecture suddenly makes Claude Code effective at building grid implementations for your app:

  • Native React Context: Claude inherently understands React. LyteNyte is built in React for React (no wrappers), keeping Claude's output pure.
  • No Translation Layers: Because it’s fully prop-driven, Claude doesn't have to guess or write messy mapping code.
  • Simpler Prompts: It relies on familiar React patterns, allowing Claude to hit zero-shot accuracy with much shorter prompts.
  • A11y Built-in: Claude no longer hallucinates custom screen-reader properties or aria-tags to make things work.

Honestly, we have been blown away by the results. I wanted to share this with the community and get your honest feedback. As I said, it’s completely free and open source.

If you find this helpful and like what we’re building, GitHub stars help. Feature suggestions and code contributions are always welcome.

Built an open-source outbound API gateway in Django/DRF.

​

The idea started after getting tired of re-implementing the same things every time I integrated third-party APIs:

* auth handling

* OAuth token refresh

* rate limiting

* quotas

* logging

* endpoint wrappers

* response formatting

So I built **Asstgr**: a self-hosted platform where you register external APIs once, define endpoints/params/methods, and then access everything through a unified REST interface.

Architecture is basically:

`Your App -> Asstgr -> Stripe/GitHub/OpenWeather/etc`

Features:

* OAuth2 (`client_credentials`, `authorization_code`, `password`)

* API key auth (`sk-...`)

* per-user quota system

* DRF throttling

* endpoint modeling

* audit logs

* unified `/execute/` endpoint

* response formatting modes

* Django admin support

* PostgreSQL + ASGI stack

One thing I wanted was to make external APIs behave more like internal services instead of every project having bespoke integration code.

Tech stack:

* Django 5

* Django REST Framework

* PostgreSQL

* Daphne / Channels

* SimpleJWT

It’s fully open source (MIT), and I also built a hosted SaaS version with a UI layer on top because the admin-only workflow wasn’t great for daily use.

Open source:

https://github.com/botyut/asstgr

Hosted version:

https://www.asstgr.com/home/

Would genuinely love feedback from people who’ve built internal API platforms / gateways before — especially around:

* schema design

* quota systems

* OAuth architecture

* execution abstraction

* scaling concerns

Curious if others ended up building similar internal tooling instead of using RapidAPI / Kong / Tyk / etc.

I wanted Claude Code on my phone, so I built Clawd Phone, basically a mobile version of it.

My phone has hundreds of PDFs and documents piled up: papers, books, manuals, screenshots, with no real way to search them.

Now I just ask Claude things like “find the paper about a topic” or “explain chapter 1 from a book I have.” It actually reads the contents, not just the names. Works with PDFs, EPUBs, markdown files, and images.

Tool calling happens directly on the phone. There is no middle server. The app talks straight to Claude’s endpoints, so it’s fast.

It’s open source. Just bring your own Anthropic API key. Planning to add support for more providers.

Repo: https://github.com/saadi297/clawd-phone

Feedback is welcome.

I built an invisible AI overlay assistant for interviews and presentations. Need testers for bug hunting/feedback!

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a few Windows users to beta test a desktop app I built called Kyue AI, designed to help with interviews and presentations in real-time.

Kyue AI offers two mode: interview mode and presentation mode. In interview mode, it listens to your computer audio, and transcribes what it hears into text, and generates a response based on the context you gave. It can also solve some coding problems using screen capture via a hotkey. In presentation mode, you select a screen with your presentation slides on it, and it generates live speaker notes for you accordingly and generates new ones when you switch slides.

Everything is invisible to screenshares; only you can see the overlay.

Before I officially launch, I need to catch edge cases and get honest feedback.

I'm offering free full access to anyone willing to run it over a mock interview, LeetCode practice session, or presentation run-throughs.

It's currently Windows-only. Comment below or drop me a DM if you want to test it out. Any feedback helps.

How to complete projects for fun?

I’ve had several project ideas I’ve been wanting to start, and this latest one is by far my most intriguing idea yet. However I can’t find myself working on it for fun?

I don’t hate my project or any I’ve had in the past, but I can’t find myself working on them for fun, and replacing old hobbies or habits I have. After a tiring, long, and stressful day, I fall back on quick hit dopamine hobbies like video games or doomscrolling, but I’d like to start being more creative during these time blocks.

I can’t find myself working on these projects for fun, even if I enjoy the idea. If I had to choose between doomscrolling/video games and projects, I’d choose the easier one every day.

If I do end up working on these project, I stay up afterwards, losing sleep, and get my dopamine hit anyway because what I had just did hadn’t felt rewarding or comforting.

Any advice or thoughts on how to change this? I can’t seem to break this cycle of quick dopamine hits instead working on a personal project. If I do end up working on it, I destroy my sleep schedule treating myself with something more rewarding anyway.

Heatmap in Java?

Hiiii,

we’re currently working on a student project where we’re developing a smart insole for gait analysis with integrated pressure sensors, and I’d really appreciate any advice because we’re basically building this from scratch without ANY prior hardware/software experience.

The general idea is:

- insole with around 6–8 pressure sensors
- collect pressure data in real time while walking
- transmit the data wirelessly (probably Bluetooth via something like ESP32?)
- visualize the pressure distribution as a real-time foot pressure heatmap
- detect gait phases / irregularities later on

I’m mainly responsible for the software side, so I’m currently trying to build the visualization in JavaFX. The plan right now is to create a foot-shaped heatmap by placing a foot mask (PNG), then interpolating between sparse sensor points (probably using Inverse Distance Weighting / IDW, maybe bilinear interpolation

But since we only have 6–8 sensors, I’m unsure what the most realistic / professional approach is.

A few questions:

  1. Sensor choice
    What pressure sensors would you recommend for a smart insole prototype?
    practical for:
    - repeated load
    - decent accuracy
    - reasonable budget
    - real-time responsiveness

  2. Sensor placement
    Biomechanically, where would you place them?

I think:
- heel
- medial forefoot / ball of foot
- lateral forefoot
- maybe arch?

But I’d love input from other people

Goal:
something visually similar to medical plantar pressure maps

3Calibration
How would you calibrate pressure sensors for something like this?

Things I’m wondering:
- normalize per sensor?
- user-specific calibration?
- thresholding?
- drift compensation?

  1. Gait analysis
    Once the pressure stream works, how would you approach gait detection?

For example:
- heel strike
- mid stance
- toe-off
- step count
- cadence
- asymmetry
- abnormal loading

  1. General “things beginners underestimate”
    This is probably our biggest issue 😅

We don’t have any prior lecture knowledge in embedded systems / biomechanics / signal processing, and we’re teaching ourselves while building this.

So honestly any advice helps:
hardware, software architecture, sensors, BLE, signal filtering, visualization, calibration, gait logic blbla literally anything that would make this easier. also if you know where i can find similar projects lmk pls
Thanks a lot for reading allat :)

The Premise

CalcByEA is a fully functional web calculator where almost every button is locked behind a paywall. You need to buy 'DLC packs' to unlock basic operations like addition, multiplication, and the equals sign.

The number 0 is free. Everything else costs money.

This is not a bug. This is the product.

It's satire on the video game industry's microtransaction model — specifically EA Games, who turned a $2 cosmetic DLC in 2006 (Horse Armor for Oblivion) into a multi-billion dollar monetization philosophy.

I built this as a mirror to the gaming industry. EA has been voted 'Worst Company in America' twice, and yet their model of shipping incomplete games and selling the rest as DLC became standard across the entire industry.

By 2021, FIFA Ultimate Team was generating $1.6B/year from digital card packs alone. The Sims 4 base game went free while the full content now costs $1,000+. Star Wars Battlefront II's loot boxes triggered government investigations into gambling laws.

So I asked: what if we applied the same logic to something universally free - a calculator?

Try it yourself. Try to add 1 + 1. See how far you get for free.

I built a free wireless phone camera monitor website

I kept running into this annoying problem while recording videos.

I’d set up my phone, hit record, walk into frame, then walk back just to realize the framing or lighting looked terrible 😭

I tried a bunch of apps for this, but most required downloads, accounts, cables, subscriptions, or weird setup steps every single time.

So I ended up building a small website where you can see your phone camera live on your laptop while recording.

No app, no login, no cable.

You just open the site, scan a QR code, and it connects instantly.

It also saves the recording on both the phone and laptop automatically.

Would genuinely love feedback from creators because I’m still improving it.

So I started a project.

I finally found a relatively rust free sport trac, of course nothing can be easy. So its got a fair share of issues some of which ive already started to fix, had to throw on som wheels and tire to get it rolling around the driveway. I was pretty stoked to find these Hyundai wheels. I think they look pretty good, though I will probably add lowering the truck a bit to my list of things to do.

Speaking of the list,

Swap in 4wd components,

Swap in manual transmission,

Swap in engine.

Swap in all pats components to avoid jank.

Assemble new exhaust system. Woo cherry bomb!

New windshield new drivers door glass. A tree branch fell on it.

Install rear bumper and all missing lights.

Superclean interior so its drivable.

◇at this point its drivable, great.◇

Lower the truck about 2 inches, should increase stability and fuel economy.

Super clean exterior and stip off pinstriping.

Fix dents from tree branch, and handle bodpinstripes.

Maybe reupholster the seats. I have several seats from donor vehicles but none of them are perfect.

Add seat heaters when doing the seats.

Track down a center console bag cooler, and color match everything.

Custom audio system, rear view camera etc modern convenience stuff.

Retropilot...
