It’s true! 6 months after DrawGPT I’ve got a new AI project soft launching and it’s called Calculator Tools.

What is Calculator Tools?

Calculator Tools is a new service that uses the latest AI models and allows you to type in the app you want to the AI and it will create it automatically as a one-page web app. The web app code is the automatically deployed to Calculator Tools website and each app is given it’s own unique page. You can even use the apps you make on your own website! Anyone can remix anyone else’s app and make it their own; translate it, change it entirely, give it new colors and fonts, or fix any bugs. It’s up to you! Your apps save your information in a cookie specifically for that app so you have your apps even save data that can be available offline. Login with your Google account to save your apps and come back later to check on them. And who knows… there may even someday be a ChatGPT plugin!

Seriously, check it out:

Calculator Tools lets you create any app with AI instantly, you make anything you can think of.

Why is Calculator Tools Cool?

Without the token context length and the reasoning power of modern AI this app was not possible before! We have never before in human history been able to let non-programmers give plain text descriptions of an app to a computer and have that computer instantly code an application for that person and deploy it so they can use it, share it, and even have it in their own apps. It’s incredibly empowering. Calculator Tools is legit cool.

What Can You Make With It?

Anything that would be possible with a simple one page web app, which means almost anything you can think of on the Internet. It’s almost difficult to use given how many possibilities there are it can be really hard to think of things. Here’s a list of examples of some really fun things that have already been made on Calculator Tools since the soft launch:

• Second Grade Handwriting Game – An educational game for young kids to practice handwriting on tablets or touchscreens.
• Kaleidoscope App – A fun and soothing app that goes fullscreen when you click it.
• 3D Three.js Unfolding Flowers Screensaver – A sample of an app generated using Three.js to create animated 3D scenes.
• TBall Apps, Tools, Calculators, and Games Generated By AI – A number of different takes on app to manage t-ball lineups.
• SVG Editor – A useful tool for editing SVGs that web developers find helpful.
• DeFi VC Practice Questions – An app and game created to help web3 founders practice taking questions from venture capitalists during pitch meetings.
• Token Purchaser Finder – A web3 app that uses the Etherscan API to see how two wallets purchase the same tokens.

Those are just some of the things, you can really create anything you want.

What Are Some Real World Use Cases For Calculator Tools?

Great question I’m so glad you asked. Since the initial soft launch 3 months ago we’ve a lot of use around entertainment and education. People love to make fun and silly apps, and sometimes the AI can really surprise people with what it creates.

Education

Calculator Tools It’s seen a lot of popular use with educators; both in-classroom and homeschooling. In-classroom educators have used it to create specialized apps for weekly lessons or to create individualized apps for students with specific needs. Because the AI is creating the applications on demand and at minimal cost it’s possible to make applications tailored to specific classrooms. It has been used by parents of young children to create apps which simply speak the directions out loud for simple learning games. There were several use cases of Calculator Tools being used to have the AI create learning games on advanced concepts and create animated diagrams of things like how the moon affects tides on Earth. It is an incredibly powerful tool for teachers.

Gaming

The AI can create any number of minigames and even invent new games entirely on its own; when you combine that with the ability to Remix any game and improve bugs you can create really interesting games very easily with Calculator Tools. For example I was able to create a Flappy Bird in about 7 Remixes and a convincing Asteroids in 16 Remixes.

Ad-Hoc Applications and Tools

Because the apps are instantly deployed it can be very useful for creating ad-hoc digital tooling or rapidly prototyping simple applications. While the AI is not creating any backend it is still possible to created expansive apps with a lot of functionality. For example some people create apps which let you input an API key client side that lets the app access other services.

Specialty Applications and Calculators

Every profession and hobby have their own unique informational and computing needs but not all situations are addressed with customized tooling like specialty applications and calculators. One example seeing during soft launch was the creation of complex calculators for use by researchers in specialized bioscience labs in higher education facilities. Another was a complex on-chain tracker that compares two web3 crypto Ethereum wallets and analyzes time discrepancy for any synchronized transactions between two wallets using the Etherscan API.
