I used AI at every step: finding ideas, planning, building, testing and putting it online.

The problem

I just ran 3 km.
Now I have more work?

Check the numbers. Sync the run. Fix mistakes. See how I did.

I was already taking screenshots and asking AI how my running was going.

Looking for answers, with AI

Someone must have
made this already… right?

Costs moneyCan’t fix anythingNot detailed enough

The tools I found didn’t do everything I needed.

Working out the idea, with AI

What would make this easier?

“Finish my run. Ask AI about it. Fix any mistakes. Done.”

Wait — what if those screenshots could help AI spot the mistakes?

Checking again, then deciding what to build

What does it
actually need to do?

Show my runs and how I’m improving.

Fix

Spot mistakes and suggest corrections.

Ask first

Check with me before changing things. Let me report problems.

Making a first version, with AI

Could we make
a simple version first?

AI helped me build it, test it and fix what went wrong.
And it worked!
