Ask HN: What are tools you have made for yourself since the advent of AI?
Several individuals have developed personal tools and projects leveraging AI, particularly large language models, to enhance their workflows and creative processes. One user created a browser with integrated design tools for exploring ideas without altering codebases. Another developed a Monte Carlo simulator for project estimates using Claude Code and Codex, and a system for parallel model querying called 'llm-consortium' that allows for complex, nested model interactions. Additionally, a voice memo app was built that uses Claude Code to structure stream-of-consciousness thoughts into organized notes, demonstrating AI's utility in personal productivity and content organization.
