The AI built a simple phone dialer for my dad, who has Alzheimer's

No app fit what his father needed, so the AI wrote a bare bones dialer in about an hour. It only shows accept and reject buttons, and he says it is perfect.

How it works

  1. Tells the AI what the dialer must do and what it must block
  2. The AI writes a new dialer that only displays accept and reject buttons
  3. The dialer is ready in about an hour

Why it’s worth knowing

No app he could buy fit his dad. The AI wrote one that did in about an hour, for a man who last coded 25 years ago.
