The AI built a tool that syncs his GoodReads updates to BookHive

He used AI to create a small tool on val.town that automatically syncs his GoodReads updates to BookHive. The val.town blog featured the tool as one of his experiments.

How it works

  1. The AI creates a goodreads-bookhive-sync val on val.town
  2. The val automatically syncs his GoodReads updates to BookHive

Why it’s worth knowing

He described the sync he wanted and the AI built a small tool that now keeps his two book accounts in step on its own.
