THE AI LIFESTYLE / A PERSONAL EXPLORATION
Practical AI projects.
Creative experiments.
The AI Lifestyle’s goal is to find the best possible ways into turning your ideas into apps, agents, books, and games. Every month I tackle one new technology and document a project converting that idea into a product. Explore my projects, follow the tutorials, avoid my trip-ups and see what I’m creating along the way.
