Introducing ... a cow 🐮!
I built me an "everything editor", providing a UI to work with my AI.
For when asking the LLM for that small tweak feels like an overkill.
Fully local, no account, free forever.

MOO!
Chat interfaces are just the beginning. The future of AI UX are hybrids that blend conversation with traditional UIs.
Built a quick prototype to prove the point.
Check the video or try the editor: fullspark.ai
A change of a single value in a spreadsheet can set off a chain reaction of thousands of recalculations.
Here's a 2-minute video - visualizing recalculations in @GRID_hq's engine - and explaining what happens under the hood. It's oddly mesmerizing.

Most people don't understand how complex spreadsheet calculations are.
This video shows an internal tool tracing 1,402 calculation events - triggered by changing a single cell in a modest financial sheet.
Slowed 1000x. Our engine did it in 9.5 ms.
(More of this soon—trust me!)
The real results here: Every major AI model has vastly fewer misconceptions about the world than a group of humans!
We just launched a new #AI testing of chatbots' global misconceptions: The Artificial Worldview Benchmark #AWB.
WORST SCORE: #grok2 @xai, only 70% correct!
(Soon results for #Grok3 stay tuned @elonmusk)

The conversation around DEI these days is bonkerballs.
Diversity isn't a standalone goal. It's the natural outcome of creating an environment where talented people feel safe, valued, and empowered to contribute their best work, no matter who they are.
In competition for talent, a program that broadens the talent pool available to you is simply a solid business decision.

Function calls in AI are a bigger deal than most realize.
At some point, we’ll use AI assistants instead of standalone software. Guess what? We can already do a lot today.
I built an image processing app for ChatGPT - no UI, just pure function calls to a headless API service.

Spreadsheets are programs. They don’t have to stay trapped in files.
With @GRID_hq, you can turn a spreadsheet model into a web service—making it scalable, automatable & AI-ready.
Here’s how. From API deployment to ChatGPT integration in 4 minutes! medium.grid.is/your-spreadsh…
Spreadsheets are programs!
See how easy it is to deploy these end-user generated programs as scalable and reliable web services using GRID's API service - ready to be integrated with anything in only 2 minutes.

Function calls + headless architectures = the future of AI-first software.
We explored @AnthropicAI's MCP (Model Context Protocol) to connect @GRID_hq's headless spreadsheet engine to Claude Desktop.
Check out our lessons + tips for building with MCP: medium.grid.is/claude-mcp-sp…
Imagine an app store for your conversational AI assistant. A place where you could browse, install, and purchase capabilities to enhance what ChatGPT or Claude can do.
It's inevitable.

“In short, you'll follow some straightforward instructions and paste GRID's customized details into ChatGPT. The result is a custom GPT that understands how to connect to your spreadsheet in natural language. Look at this; it's a real conversation …” creativedifferences.substack…
Custom actions (function calling) is still such an overlooked capability of custom GPTs. What better way to prove it. Link in thread:
