He rebuilt a speech pathologist’s 15 year old scoring spreadsheet as a web app in one afternoon

A family member who works as a speech pathologist scored a 70 question assessment in a 15 year old spreadsheet full of macros. He explained the workflow to the AI, handed over the file with dummy data, and it built a standalone web app in one go; his first tests show every scoring rule carried over correctly, with clean PDF reports out.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. Explain the workflow and wanted changes
  2. The AI plans the app
  3. Builds it in one pass
  4. He tests against the old scoring
  5. All rules and edge cases check out
  6. Scanned form input planned next

Why it’s worth knowing

The hard part was not the app. It was proving a 15 year old set of scoring rules survived the move exactly.
