Ask HN: Who's using AI to build non-AI products?

3 leonagano 3 7/1/2025, 11:31:00 AM

I’m using ai to build a website where founders meet each other in real life.

No ai embedded in the product at all.

I'm a magazine journalist who's usually working on multiple stories at once. I collect a lot of tabs.

So the other day I used Claude to make a browser extension that saves all in an active window to the specified "Writing Project" so I can easily open/close them all as needed.

Basically, a more streamlined bookmark system.

I've been experimenting with a concept called Propheciple — a decentralized, cryptic platform for exploring new ideas in the evolving economy. Would love feedback or thoughts on this direction:
