Software for one: tools that fit the way you work
Most of us have a recurring workaround. A side spreadsheet, information copied between apps, or something we explain to an AI assistant over and over.
I’ve been building small tools around these frustrations in my own work. Using examples from those experiments, we’ll explore how AI helps us create personal software and reshape it through everyday use. We’ll look at how to spot opportunities in your everyday work, build something small that helps, and adapt it as your needs change.
You’ll leave with a practical way to identify a useful first tool, keep the scope small, and improve it through use.
