Ben's Bites builds UK council spending visualizer with 107M data rows

Ben's Bites has developed a tool that visualizes UK council spending data, similar to Apple Maps, by scraping and processing 107 million rows of public information. The project utilized a multi-agent system, with Codex acting as a primary agent that delegated tasks to numerous sub-agents for data collection, cataloging, and initial analysis. The resulting dataset, comprising billions of tokens and millions of rows, was then used to build interactive prototypes for data visualization, including a mini-site and data stories, with plans to open-source the project.
