• Spent a few months hacking around and building Generative AI apps and games. Autocodepro.com (prompt2code), AlphaCTR.com (YouTube thumbnail generator based on a finetuned stable diffusion model), Godinabox.co (GPT inside WhatsApp), overpoweredcardgame.com and a few more. I built these for fun and to learn everything I can about the space and possible opportunities. The apps cumulatively have over a million users.
