It cleverly reframes the complex dance of human interaction as an exchange with a ‘small model,’ instantly making ‘bad communication’ sound super techy. Next time you hit a wall trying to chat with someone, you can coolly tell yourself: either their model’s having an off day, or my prompting skills need a serious upgrade. 😂 So true!

An AI Coding Invitation

3 Projects in 6 Months, 90% AI-Generated Code, Zero Cost — I’m Building a Community to Live Stream My Next Product Development

Hey everyone,

For the past six months, I’ve been a lone wolf, diving deep and completing three major open-source projects. One of them, AIClient2API , already boasts over 1000 Stars! ⭐ The craziest part? Looking back, over 90% of the code was generated by AI.

I didn’t shell out a single cent for API fees, relying entirely on free large models like Gemini and Qwen. Nor did I pay for servers; platforms like Cloudflare and Vercel handled everything for me. This whole experience has hammered home a powerful truth: AI is amplifying the creativity of us regular folks in ways we’ve never seen before. 🤯

While this solo journey has been incredibly rewarding, it definitely gets a bit lonely. Those moments of stumbling, those late-night bursts of inspiration—I always wished I had fellow travelers to share and brainstorm with. 🤔

So, I cooked up an idea: to create a ‘Knowledge Planet’ community, bringing together all the tinkerers and creators out there. 🚀

This isn’t your typical course; it’s a real co-creation hub. The entry fee is super low, just 50 RMB. Think of it as grabbing some fried chicken together on ‘Crazy Thursday’—we’ll make friends and forge a pact for mutual growth. 🤝

What’s in it for you when you join?

I’m about to kick off developing a personal Prompt management tool from scratch. Once we hit 7 members, the ‘group buy’ officially kicks off, and in the community, I’ll be:

• Daily Live Updates: I’ll fully document my development progress, thought processes, and tech stack choices. 📹
• Sharing Real-World Pitfalls: I’ll openly share every problem I hit, how I debugged them, helping you avoid those same headaches. 💡
• Transparent Thought Process: Whether it’s product design or technical architecture, I’ll share all the ‘why’ behind my decisions with you. 🧠

Here, you can watch a product come to life, ask questions, jump into discussions, and even influence its direction. Together, we’ll witness an idea evolve from zero to one, eventually becoming a tangible reality in your hands. ✨

If you’re passionate about AI development, and if you’re curious to see how someone can ‘arm themselves’ with free tools, then I’d love for you to join us! 👇
