The AI built me a widget that counts down to my last class

To mark the start of the semester, he asked the AI to build a macOS widget. It counts down how many weeks are left until the last class, and how many of those weeks are real teaching weeks.

How it works

  1. He asks the AI to build a macOS widget
  2. The widget counts the weeks left until the last class
  3. It also shows how many of those are teaching weeks

Why it’s worth knowing

The widget does not just count the weeks. It knows which of them are weeks he actually teaches.
