Arduino and AY-3-8910 – Part 2
Following on from my initial experiments in Arduino and AY-3-8910 this post looks at the sound generation capabilities in a little more detail and adds some basic MIDI control.
- Part 1 – Getting started and looking at playing YM files.
- Part 2 – Adding basic MIDI control.
- Part 3 – Basic experiments with direct digital synthesis.
- Part 4 – Using the AY-3-8910 as a 4-bit DAC for Mozzi.
- Part 5 – Driving four AY-3-8910s using my AY-3-8910 Experimenter PCB.

AY-3-8910 Sound Generation
The most basic means of sound generation is to use the three tone generators to generate square waves at a frequency set using the on-chip registers (note in the following data from the datasheet, the R numbers are in octal – so there are 16 registers in total):
I don’t plan to get into the ins-and-outs of how to interface to the chip, instead I’ll link off to some excellent discussions here:
- https://github.com/Andy4495/AY3891x/blob/main/Register-Summary.md
- http://blog.tynemouthsoftware.co.uk/2023/01/driving-ay-3-8910-ym2149-from-8-bit.html
- Sections 2.4 and 2.5 in the AY-3-8910 datasheet.
The frequency registers have a 12-bit resolution, spread over two 8-bit registers as shown below.
The datasheet tells us how to calculate the value to write to the register for a specific frequency:
- Reg Value = System Clock / (16 * frequency)
For a 1MHz clock, the register value is thus 62500 / frequency, so the higher the frequency, the lower the register value. This means that concert A at 440Hz requires the value 62500 / 440 = 142, so:
- R1 = 142 >> 8;
- R0 = 142 & 0xFF;
For a 1MHz clock, the range of frequencies goes from 1MHz / 16 to 1 MHz / (16 * 4095) or ~62.5kHz to 15 Hz
The AY3891x library has a set of definitions that already defines the frequencies for each MIDI note from C0 to B8.
The volume for the note is set in another register:
When Mode=0, the amplitude is set by the 4-bit fixed level. When Mode=1, the amplitude is controlled by the built-in envelope generator.
The envelope generator is a “global” setting for all channels, so for finer control, people often wrote their own envelope generator, manipulating the volume levels directly.
The datasheet describes the four parameters required to define an envelope:
Envelopes have a cycle time, which is set by R13 and R14 in a similar way to the frequency. This time the formula is:
- Reg value = System Clock / (256 * env frequency)
Once again this is split over two registers, but this time supports a full 16-bit value.
There are graphical representations of what the combinations of the envelope bits mean, but I must confess I’m not entirely sure I understand them all and some don’t seem to sound, at least at the frequency I’ve chosen.
The Circuit
I’m reusing the PCB from GadgetReboot from Part 1, but this time I’ve added the button in (it is connected to A5 and GND) and added headers to the UART connection.
Unfortunately the UART only has GND, TX, RX – to use it with one of my Arduino MIDI Interfaces also requires a 5V connection, so I’ve taken that from the SD card header.
The Code
The note-playing code comes from the “AY3891x_EX3_Simple_Tone” example, including the ATmega328 specific code for the 1MHz clock. There is a table of note frequencies already provided for notes C0 through to B8, so it is just a case of mapping these onto MIDI notes C0 (12) through B8 (119).
One thing I wanted was to support simple polyphony using all three channels. But that means deciding what to do when a fourth note comes in – i.e. to ignore it or to replace one of the existing playing notes. I’ve left options for both.
I also wanted to make use of the channel volume too, so it is relatively trivial to map the MIDI 0..127 note velocity values onto the 0..15 levels for the sound generator. This is using the “fixed” level mode mentioned earlier.
But I also wanted the option to play with the envelopes, so I’ve wired in the button and have an option to use that to change between the different envelopes. As I’m not attempting anything particularly complex right now, I just gone with a fixed 10Hz frequency for the envelope generator’s cycle.
It won’t win any prizes for synthesis, but it does work.
Closing Thoughts
Fundamentally, without the envelope generation this is the same as a three-channel Arduino tone() function, but at the time that was pretty ground-breaking as it allowed a system to keep playing a tone without having to keep driving it from the CPU.
Add in the noise channel, amplitude control and envelopes and you can start to see why this is also a step up musically too.
But when you get to making custom, per-channel envelopes, or even manipulating the 4-bit level control as a simple DAC or PCM generator, then you can start to see how some of the outstanding chiptunes of the time could be generated.
But even in this simple form there is still a fair bit more that could be done. Some examples might be:
- Adding a potentiometer to control the envelope frequency. The when used with the triangle envelope this will act as a modulation control.
- Add MIDI control values for the volume levels, modulation and choice of envelope.
- Define some specific parameters to create “instruments” which can be selecting using MIDI program change messages.
- Get the noise generator into the mix and define some percussion “instruments” too.
But what I really want to do is start taking a look at some of the sound drivers that were written that allow some of the chip tunes to come out.
I’m also getting to the point where I want my own PCB with things on it that I want to play with too.

This reports the activities of the following Ambassadors / Red Hatters at the Fedora @ SCaLE 21x Linux Conference:
- Alejandro “Alex” Acosta (FAS: aacosta)
- Brian Monroe (FAS: paradoxguitarist)
- Scott Williams (FAS: vwbusguy)
- Perry Rivera (FAS: lajuggler)
- Matthew Miller (FAS: mattdm)
- Brian Proffitt (FAS: Bproffit)
- Justin W. Flory (FAS: Jflory7) [remote support]
What is SCaLE 21x?
The SCaLE (The Southern California Linux Expo) community Linux event delivered an iconic experience with four days of open source training, exhibits, and general presentations. This year’s conference took place in Pasadena (Los Angeles) area.
This expo drew worldwide guests to discuss AI, Linux, security, embedded, IoT, and more. The Conference Chair, Mr. Ilan Rabinovitch, and Technical Committee Chairperson, Owen Delong paved the way for a smooth registration.

Fedora @ SCaLE 21x Linux Conference – Ready, Set, Go!
Justin Flory arranged and shipped hand-selected swag and marketing items to Brian Monroe. Items include: pens, stickers, commuter mugs, badge ribbons, badge lanyards, and more.
Furthermore, the ambassadors gathered up supplies for the conference.
Day 1: Thursday 14 March
Red Hatter Brian Proffitt carefully delivered our marketing notebook system.
In addition, Perry brought the following:
- Dry-board markers
- Dry-board flipchart easel
- Opportunity drawing tickets
- Leftover ribbons, mini-swag from 19x event
- Safety scissors
- Gaffers tape
- Glue
- And more!
Some of our ambassadors travelled in the morning, to catch earlier events and workshops. Others, however, arrived later to factor in traffic.
- Portal to New Linux Ideas
- The back of the Fedora booth this year…a sheet wall..
We met in the exhibit hall to check out the booth and to discuss strategy. Henceforth, we thought about our discussions and engagement to attract visitors. In contrast to SCaLE 20x, our booth was some distance away from the Red Hat booth.
The booth did not receive any free-standing banners this year. Thus, aside from our table cover, swag, and flip chart, we had few items to work with which had large Fedora branding. Soon, we discovered that some guests had initial challenges trouble locating our booth.
Upon dropping things off, some of us reconvened at the KWAAI Summit, new for 2024. Matt Small, Reza Rassool, Román Pineda, Khai Pham, John Willis, and others closed out the the event with an engaging Q&A, introductions, wrap up, and reception, for example.
Afterwards, Fedora joined the Red Hat and CentOS teams and others for a meal at the Yard House.
From L to R: Matthew Miller, Shaun McCance, Perry Rivera, and Carl GeorgeDay 2: Friday 15 March
Checking in on the other variants…
Alejandro and I set out for breakfast Friday and discussed booth and expo plans for the days ahead. Eventually, we headed off to the NixCon track co-located in SCaLE 21x to learn about Nix. We were surprised to find a very packed workshop.
Booth Setup
After a brief look into these OSes, we returned to the Expo Hall to begin putting our booth together. For example, Scott arrived to install a notebook system that he configured with Flatpak pinball game running atop Universal Blue.
- A guest re-discovers pinball on an immutable desktop
- Red Hatters setting up a booth
Next, Perry set up a Fedora flip chart and pasted in a handy QR that Alejandro generated for guests to claim a Fedora badge. Then, Alejandro later wrote in our Fedora scheduled talks, which was handy for guests to take pictures of as they stopped by. Concurrently, Brian strategically set up swag items and carefully routed power within the booth.
Perry later stopped by the Red Hat booth to help raise the 5-person banner. It’s not heavy, however, but it is awkward and difficult to stand up with fewer than 5-people in attendance.
What an Exhibit at Fedora @ SCaLE 21x Linux Conference
At 10am, the Exhibit Hall opened. As a result, we had a steady stream of community throughout the reminder of the conference. Then, we took turns for breaks from time to time; however, as we were down a person, things felt a bit busier this year. We definitely missed not having Iván Chavero there.
We greeted approximately 400+ this day.
One of the many highlights from today was discovering a vending machine that dispenses temporary VMs. The buttons were quite amusing.
Eye-deal VM Vending Re-use.At length, a few of us met up with Red Hat, CentOS, at El Portal Restaurant for dinner.
- El Portal Restaurant for dinner.
- Rob McBryde: Coordinator of Karaoke goodness.
Subsequently, we met up with Red Hat and CentOS later at Barney’s Beanery to enjoy karaoke and merriment.
Day 3: Saturday 16 March
Specifically, Brian Monroe, Scott, and Perry met up early Saturday morning to go over slide logistics for our Exploring Immutable Linux Desktops with Fedora presentation later that day. Afterward, we caught up with Alejandro at the booth to continue engaging with guests and greeted approximately 500+ this day.
Perry dropped in on a Digital Art / Krita open-source application workshop that went over how the fundamentals of using this tool. They gave pointers on how they use the app in their workflow, for instance.
- Nicholas Maramba and Helen Ortiz present “Digital Art Makes You Smart”
- Humberto Macias, lucky winner of a Fedora commuter tumbler.
- Portal to the endless wonder of immutable desktops..
- Guests listened attentively at the Immutable Desktop presentation
- Scott Williams chats with Joshua Loscar at the Red Hat Booth
- Jeff Carlson ponders his next move..
We also held opportunity drawings throughout the week to beckon more booth interest. Indeed, this proved a success. 40+ people stopped by for each draw.
Comparatively, Perry, Brian Monroe, and Scott later delivered their presentation to 45+ guests.
Thereafter, we re-joined Alejandro to finish up meeting our community at the booth for the expo day. We ate a late linner at the Dog Haus to reflect on the week’s events.
Soon, SCaLE 21x held their annual game night event. Next, we reunited with friends and associates to catch up and enjoy.
Day 4: Sunday 17 March
All of us packed up our rooms early Sunday. Naturally, Alejandro and I re-joined up at the Cordova Cafe for breakfast.
Consequently, we made our way over to the Exhibit Hall to finish up a final day with guests. Altogether, we had a little breather to visit the CentOS booth and say hello.
Shaun McCance and Carl George exhibiting at the CentOS boothThe final exhibit day brought in about 250 guests to our booth. Following, our team packed up the booth for transport.
Ultimately, to complete a fine Sunday, we attentively listened to an excellent closing keynote provided by Bill Cheswick.
Suggestion / Feedback Box Items for Fedora @ SCaLE 21x Linux Conference
In addition, we had a booth sign-in sheet for visitors to help collect feedback and suggestions about Fedora and related efforts.
From data compiled, we summarize these key highlights:
- Marketing: Many requests for Fedora new logo swag and shirts. Could use stuffed animals, socks, or something different, USB stick. More creative ideas, sticker ideas (hex are popular), floor banners with new logo, DEI stickers were very popular. Portable swag (small and travel-ready) is great for travelers.
- Marketing: One guest suggested a Fedora merch store where community could purchase Fedora logo swag/stickets/items. Above all, proceeds ideally would funnel back to Fedora community where needed.
- Cross: One Debian guest continues prefers Debian for consistency, but wouldn’t mind using Fedora if a consistent spin was available. Potentially opportunity for immutable education or Debian/Ubuntu/NixOS etc. to Fedora presentations.
- Info: Another Debian guest wanted to know key differences between Debian and Fedora. Ultimately, potential opportunity for explainer or migrating presentation or Why Use Fedora vs. ________?
- Usage: One mentioned they are a Rawhide user.
- Info: One requested more information about NeuroFedora. In other words, clearer information about what it is and the status of that Special Interest Group (SIG). Explainer card might be helpful at the booth.
- Usage: One guest enjoys QT packages with DX build.
- Licensing/Booth Info: One guest wanted clearer definition of the licensing relationship and sponsorship between Fedora / RHEL, if any.
- Fedora Activity Day: It might be advantageous for Fedora to identify an organizer for a Fedora Activity Day (or two). For example, possible topics include: Debian to Fedora, command-line, Gnome, KDE, Immutable, Ambassadoring, Why Use Fedora vs. X?, etc.
- Other: Changes for CentOS and Red Hat were points of concern and confusion for some guests.
- Comm: Connect with Universal Blue folks, Lutris, Nobaro (sp?). Bazzite quality badges
- Booth: Engagement with community at the table, opportunity drawing seems to be a success. Let’s get people in the front door of Fedora…for SCaLE 22x, provide challenge or engaging gimmick.
Fedora 39 specific suggestions/comments:
- Usage: Runs great on Dell Lat 7390
- Usage: It’s awesome
- Usage: (I) want to try it!
- Marketing/Immutable/Porting: Cool retro (pinball) demo [at SCaLE 21x]
- Thank You/Derivative: Ultramarine user says thank you for Fedora.
- Thank You/Support: Thank you for Data Transit (GTFS) support
- Magic Wormhole and Fedora are great. Ultimately, we referred this guest to Matthew Miller.
- One guest tracking 39 and 40 Beta packaging and kernel. Definitely, this visitor expressed interest in helping with general or immutable. Additionally, we referred this guest.
In conclusion, we look forward to seeing you at next year’s SCaLE!

Alejandro and I set out for breakfast Friday and discussed booth and expo plans for the days ahead. Eventually, we headed off to the NixCon track co-located in SCaLE 21x to learn about Nix. We were surprised to find a very packed workshop.
Booth Setup
After a brief look into these OSes, we returned to the Expo Hall to begin putting our booth together. For example, Scott arrived to install a notebook system that he configured with Flatpak pinball game running atop Universal Blue.
- A guest re-discovers pinball on an immutable desktop
- Red Hatters setting up a booth
Next, Perry set up a Fedora flip chart and pasted in a handy QR that Alejandro generated for guests to claim a Fedora badge. Then, Alejandro later wrote in our Fedora scheduled talks, which was handy for guests to take pictures of as they stopped by. Concurrently, Brian strategically set up swag items and carefully routed power within the booth.
Perry later stopped by the Red Hat booth to help raise the 5-person banner. It’s not heavy, however, but it is awkward and difficult to stand up with fewer than 5-people in attendance.
What an Exhibit at Fedora @ SCaLE 21x Linux Conference
At 10am, the Exhibit Hall opened. As a result, we had a steady stream of community throughout the reminder of the conference. Then, we took turns for breaks from time to time; however, as we were down a person, things felt a bit busier this year. We definitely missed not having Iván Chavero there.
We greeted approximately 400+ this day.
One of the many highlights from today was discovering a vending machine that dispenses temporary VMs. The buttons were quite amusing.
Eye-deal VM Vending Re-use.At length, a few of us met up with Red Hat, CentOS, at El Portal Restaurant for dinner.
- El Portal Restaurant for dinner.
- Rob McBryde: Coordinator of Karaoke goodness.
Subsequently, we met up with Red Hat and CentOS later at Barney’s Beanery to enjoy karaoke and merriment.
Day 3: Saturday 16 March
Specifically, Brian Monroe, Scott, and Perry met up early Saturday morning to go over slide logistics for our Exploring Immutable Linux Desktops with Fedora presentation later that day. Afterward, we caught up with Alejandro at the booth to continue engaging with guests and greeted approximately 500+ this day.
Perry dropped in on a Digital Art / Krita open-source application workshop that went over how the fundamentals of using this tool. They gave pointers on how they use the app in their workflow, for instance.
- Nicholas Maramba and Helen Ortiz present “Digital Art Makes You Smart”
- Humberto Macias, lucky winner of a Fedora commuter tumbler.
- Portal to the endless wonder of immutable desktops..
- Guests listened attentively at the Immutable Desktop presentation
- Scott Williams chats with Joshua Loscar at the Red Hat Booth
- Jeff Carlson ponders his next move..
We also held opportunity drawings throughout the week to beckon more booth interest. Indeed, this proved a success. 40+ people stopped by for each draw.
Comparatively, Perry, Brian Monroe, and Scott later delivered their presentation to 45+ guests.
Thereafter, we re-joined Alejandro to finish up meeting our community at the booth for the expo day. We ate a late linner at the Dog Haus to reflect on the week’s events.
Soon, SCaLE 21x held their annual game night event. Next, we reunited with friends and associates to catch up and enjoy.
Day 4: Sunday 17 March
All of us packed up our rooms early Sunday. Naturally, Alejandro and I re-joined up at the Cordova Cafe for breakfast.
Consequently, we made our way over to the Exhibit Hall to finish up a final day with guests. Altogether, we had a little breather to visit the CentOS booth and say hello.
Shaun McCance and Carl George exhibiting at the CentOS boothThe final exhibit day brought in about 250 guests to our booth. Following, our team packed up the booth for transport.
Ultimately, to complete a fine Sunday, we attentively listened to an excellent closing keynote provided by Bill Cheswick.
Suggestion / Feedback Box Items for Fedora @ SCaLE 21x Linux Conference
In addition, we had a booth sign-in sheet for visitors to help collect feedback and suggestions about Fedora and related efforts.
From data compiled, we summarize these key highlights:
- Marketing: Many requests for Fedora new logo swag and shirts. Could use stuffed animals, socks, or something different, USB stick. More creative ideas, sticker ideas (hex are popular), floor banners with new logo, DEI stickers were very popular. Portable swag (small and travel-ready) is great for travelers.
- Marketing: One guest suggested a Fedora merch store where community could purchase Fedora logo swag/stickets/items. Above all, proceeds ideally would funnel back to Fedora community where needed.
- Cross: One Debian guest continues prefers Debian for consistency, but wouldn’t mind using Fedora if a consistent spin was available. Potentially opportunity for immutable education or Debian/Ubuntu/NixOS etc. to Fedora presentations.
- Info: Another Debian guest wanted to know key differences between Debian and Fedora. Ultimately, potential opportunity for explainer or migrating presentation or Why Use Fedora vs. ________?
- Usage: One mentioned they are a Rawhide user.
- Info: One requested more information about NeuroFedora. In other words, clearer information about what it is and the status of that Special Interest Group (SIG). Explainer card might be helpful at the booth.
- Usage: One guest enjoys QT packages with DX build.
- Licensing/Booth Info: One guest wanted clearer definition of the licensing relationship and sponsorship between Fedora / RHEL, if any.
- Fedora Activity Day: It might be advantageous for Fedora to identify an organizer for a Fedora Activity Day (or two). For example, possible topics include: Debian to Fedora, command-line, Gnome, KDE, Immutable, Ambassadoring, Why Use Fedora vs. X?, etc.
- Other: Changes for CentOS and Red Hat were points of concern and confusion for some guests.
- Comm: Connect with Universal Blue folks, Lutris, Nobaro (sp?). Bazzite quality badges
- Booth: Engagement with community at the table, opportunity drawing seems to be a success. Let’s get people in the front door of Fedora…for SCaLE 22x, provide challenge or engaging gimmick.
Fedora 39 specific suggestions/comments:
- Usage: Runs great on Dell Lat 7390
- Usage: It’s awesome
- Usage: (I) want to try it!
- Marketing/Immutable/Porting: Cool retro (pinball) demo [at SCaLE 21x]
- Thank You/Derivative: Ultramarine user says thank you for Fedora.
- Thank You/Support: Thank you for Data Transit (GTFS) support
- Magic Wormhole and Fedora are great. Ultimately, we referred this guest to Matthew Miller.
- One guest tracking 39 and 40 Beta packaging and kernel. Definitely, this visitor expressed interest in helping with general or immutable. Additionally, we referred this guest.
In conclusion, we look forward to seeing you at next year’s SCaLE!

What is SCaLE 21x?
The SCaLE (The Southern California Linux Expo) community Linux event delivered an iconic experience with four days of open source training, exhibits, and general presentations. This year’s conference took place in Pasadena (Los Angeles) area.
This expo drew worldwide guests to discuss AI, Linux, security, embedded, IoT, and more. The Conference Chair, Mr. Ilan Rabinovitch, and Technical Committee Chairperson, Owen Delong paved the way for a smooth registration.

Fedora @ SCaLE 21x Linux Conference – Ready, Set, Go!
Justin Flory arranged and shipped hand-selected swag and marketing items to Brian Monroe. Items include: pens, stickers, commuter mugs, badge ribbons, badge lanyards, and more.
Furthermore, the ambassadors gathered up supplies for the conference.
Day 1: Thursday 14 March
Red Hatter Brian Proffitt carefully delivered our marketing notebook system.
In addition, Perry brought the following:
- Dry-board markers
- Dry-board flipchart easel
- Opportunity drawing tickets
- Leftover ribbons, mini-swag from 19x event
- Safety scissors
- Gaffers tape
- Glue
- And more!
Some of our ambassadors travelled in the morning, to catch earlier events and workshops. Others, however, arrived later to factor in traffic.
- Portal to New Linux Ideas
- The back of the Fedora booth this year…a sheet wall..
We met in the exhibit hall to check out the booth and to discuss strategy. Henceforth, we thought about our discussions and engagement to attract visitors. In contrast to SCaLE 20x, our booth was some distance away from the Red Hat booth.
The booth did not receive any free-standing banners this year. Thus, aside from our table cover, swag, and flip chart, we had few items to work with which had large Fedora branding. Soon, we discovered that some guests had initial challenges trouble locating our booth.
Upon dropping things off, some of us reconvened at the KWAAI Summit, new for 2024. Matt Small, Reza Rassool, Román Pineda, Khai Pham, John Willis, and others closed out the the event with an engaging Q&A, introductions, wrap up, and reception, for example.
Afterwards, Fedora joined the Red Hat and CentOS teams and others for a meal at the Yard House.

Font Dissection With Ange Albertini; The Birth Of A Font; Featured Foundry: Swiss Typefaces
We get into some technical (but, gorgeous) weeds, again, today in the first section, discuss how these myriad of font formats come about, and end with one of the best font foundries in the biz.
Type your email…
Subscribe
TL;DR
This is an AI-generated summary of today’s Drop.
I, literally, use the same prompt every. single. day. and Perplexity manages to only get the links right about one day a week.
- Ange Albertini’s work on vector fonts: Ange Albertini, a cybersecurity professional, has been working on diagramming vector fonts. They have completed diagrams for various font formats, including OTF, TTF, WOFF, and WOFF2.
- The birth of a font: The creation of a new font file format involves industry groups, standards organizations, and technology companies working together. The process includes identifying the need for a new format, forming a working group, developing a draft specification, finalizing the specification, implementing the format, and promoting its adoption.
- Featured Foundry: Swiss Typefaces: Swiss Typefaces is a font foundry founded in 2006, known for its diverse and innovative typefaces. They offer trial versions of their fonts in both desktop and webfont formats, allowing designers to test the fonts before purchasing. The foundry is committed to providing excellent support and easy licensing options.
Font Dissection With Ange Albertini
Fonts can be gorgeous beasts, but — ultimately — they’re ugly files of organized 0’s and 1’s.
Ange Albertini (@[email protected]) is a cybersecurity professional with expertise in reverse engineering and exploitation techniques. Their work involves analyzing and understanding the inner workings of software and hardware systems, which helps in identifying and mitigating potential security vulnerabilities.
Amongst a cornucopia of talents, Ange excels at diagramming file format. This is super-helpful from cyber- and data-freeing perspectives. Recently, Ange aimed diagramming sights on vector fonts!
This is the current list of completed diagrams:
I highly recommend following Ange’s Mastodon feed and keeping an eye out for more font dissections.
The Birth Of A Font
Seeing Ange’s work made me realize we talk about using fonts all the time but not how they’re born. I don’t mean individual typefaces, but the actual font file specifications themselves.
The creation, and subsequent maintenance, of a new font file format is typically decided by a combination of industry groups, standards organizations, and technology companies. These groups work together to define the specifications and standards for new font formats, taking into consideration the needs of various stakeholders such as designers, developers, and end-users.
One example is the OpenType font format, which was jointly developed by Microsoft and Adobe, and later adopted as an open standard by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) under the ISO/IEC 14496-22 standard. This process involved the collaboration of multiple parties and took several years to reach formal approval.
Similarly, the Web Open Font Format (WOFF) was developed by the Web Fonts Working Group, which is part of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The W3C is an international community that develops open standards to ensure the long-term growth of the Web.
The process of creating or updating a font file format is a meticulous and collaborative effort, often sparked by the need to address technological advancements, new requirements from designers or developers, or to overcome limitations in existing font formats. The recognition of this “need” sets the stage for the subsequent steps. (This process mimics other collaborative idioms many readers are likely familiar with. If that describes you, then you can safely ignore the remainder of this section.)
Next, a working group or committee is formed. This group is a rag tag fugitive fleet of diverse expertise, including font designers, software developers, and representatives from technology companies. Their collective knowledge and experience are paramount for the development of the new format.
What follows is the development of a draft specification for the new font format. This, too, is a key phase where the technical details of the format — including the structure and encoding of the font data — are precisely outlined. Think of this this draft as a blueprint.
The term “draft” means that the format is not yet set in stone. It undergoes a thorough process of reviewing and revising, incorporating feedback from the wider community. This phase might include testing the format and making multiple revisions to the specification to ensure it meets the required standards and functionalities. Once the draft is refined and meets all necessary criteria, the specification is finalized and published. This final version is made available for public use, marking a significant milestone in the process.
With the specification published, the implementation phase kicks in. This stage is about bringing the format to life, which involves creating software tools that can create, read, and render fonts in this new format. Additionally, existing software may need updates to support the new format, ensuring a smooth transition and wider adoption.
The final leg of this journey is promoting and encouraging the adoption of the new format. This step is ultimately the most impactful, as the success or failure of a new format hinges on adoption. It generally involves educating designers and developers about its features and benefits. The goal is to encourage its widespread use in new projects, thereby ensuring that the new font format becomes a standard in the industry.
That last bit is kind of important enough to side-note that this “promotion” stage is essential for anything you’re trying to get adoption for. The modern R community shines in this regard, and has a few models to follow. I guess what I’m trying to get at is that you can have the coolest file format (et al.) imaginable, with buy in from a core set of nerds, but if you don’t do the leg work of reaching out, championing it, and providing as much support as possible, only a handful of folks will care. In the case of something like a whole new font format, that task is pretty massive. Thankfully, most of us work on things that aren’t as laborful.
Featured Foundry: Swiss Typefaces
Swiss Typefaces is a font foundry founded in 2006, initially named B&P Type Foundry after its founders, Maxime Büchi and Ian Party. Later, Emmanuel Rey joined the duo. This super cool foundry has gained recognition for its diverse and innovative typefaces, and is one of the top type foundries in the industry.
One of the standout features of Swiss Typefaces (and a big reason I’m including it, here, today) is their commitment to providing trial versions of their fonts in both desktop and webfont formats. This lets us easily and legally test the fonts in our own designs before making a purchase.
When you buy a font from Swiss Typefaces, the webfont is always included at no extra cost (something almost unheard of in commercial font land).
The foundry offers a wide range of typefaces (far too many to enumerate). Drop fav Suisse Screen is featured in the section header.

Font Dissection With Ange Albertini
Fonts can be gorgeous beasts, but — ultimately — they’re ugly files of organized 0’s and 1’s.
Ange Albertini (@[email protected]) is a cybersecurity professional with expertise in reverse engineering and exploitation techniques. Their work involves analyzing and understanding the inner workings of software and hardware systems, which helps in identifying and mitigating potential security vulnerabilities.
Amongst a cornucopia of talents, Ange excels at diagramming file format. This is super-helpful from cyber- and data-freeing perspectives. Recently, Ange aimed diagramming sights on vector fonts!
This is the current list of completed diagrams:
I highly recommend following Ange’s Mastodon feed and keeping an eye out for more font dissections.
The Birth Of A Font
Seeing Ange’s work made me realize we talk about using fonts all the time but not how they’re born. I don’t mean individual typefaces, but the actual font file specifications themselves.
The creation, and subsequent maintenance, of a new font file format is typically decided by a combination of industry groups, standards organizations, and technology companies. These groups work together to define the specifications and standards for new font formats, taking into consideration the needs of various stakeholders such as designers, developers, and end-users.

⚡️ & 🌩️ Very, Very Frightening; we-go; CARROT AR Wx
2023 was a terrible weather year and 2024 has already been a doozy in terms of chaotic weather events. So, we’ll take another opportunity, today, to peek at some weather info and utilities.
Type your email…

TL;DR
This is an AI-generated summary of today’s content.
Perplexity failed to include the links, again.
Today’s edition discusses weather-related topics and utilities. Here is a concise summary of the main sections:
- AEM 2023 United States Lightning Report: The report highlights the increase in lightning activity across the U.S. in 2023, with more than 92 million lightning flashes. It also discusses rare lightning activity in Alaska and the potential for Arctic lightning to double by the end of the century.
- Thundersnow in California: This rare phenomenon occurred when a cold air front collided with a moist atmospheric river from the Pacific, resulting in higher snowfall.
- Weather Utilities: The blog post introduces two weather utilities, We-go and CARROT AR Wx. We-go is a Go-based terminal weather client that provides a convenient way to access weather forecasts directly from the command line. CARROT is a weather app with an augmented reality (AR) mode that offers a more immersive weather experience.
⚡️ & 🌩️ Very, Very Frightening
The AEM 2023 United States Lightning Report contains some interesting notes about the lightning (and, thunder) activity across the U.S. in 2023. The report first shows that the U.S. experienced well over 92 million lightning flashes that year, which represents an increase of 6.6% over the prior year.
An unexpected (for me) finding in the report is the rare lightning activity in Alaska. AEM’s “Earth Networks Total Lightning Network” (ENTLN) recorded 23,616 lightning pulses, which comprised 16,505 flashes. This lightning activity was unusual for Alaska, as it ranks last among all U.S. states for lightning density and is in the bottom 10 for its total lightning count, despite being the largest state in terms of land area.
The lightning activity from a single 24-hour period accounted for about 31% of the state’s entire lightning activity for the year. AEM’s researchers predict that Arctic lightning could double by the end of the century. This increase in lightning activity led to about 30 new fires across Alaska, causing the total burned area to increase from 2,000 acres on July 20 to more than 290,000 acres by the end of the month.
Another notable event highlighted in the report is the thundersnow in California. This rare phenomenon occurred when a cold air front dropping down along the California coastline was projected to collide with the moist atmospheric river from the Pacific. The atmospheric instability that gives rise to thundersnow also tends to result in higher snowfall, which is precisely what was observed in this case.
As the climate warms, events like the lightning storm in Alaska may become less exceptional. This means risk managers across the U.S. are going to need to prepare for and manage the risks associated with increased lightning activity.
There’s quite a bit of data buried in JavaScript containers in the site. I found the map data pretty intriguing (one of the maps is in the section header), and hacked together a bit of R to yank them out. That code is below, and the data is on my main site.
library(V8)library(janitor)library(rvest)library(stringi)# Read in the AEM site URL (the `?…` bit seems to be necessary)pg <- read_html("https://aem.eco/2023-united-states-lightning-report/?_hsmi=289823499")# Find all the mapshtml_nodes(pg, xpath = ".//script[contains(@src, 'Map.js')]") |> html_attr("src") -> aem_map_urls# Snakecase f_t_waem_map_urls |> stri_replace_last_regex( pattern = "\\.js\\?.*$", replacement = "" ) |> basename() |> make_clean_names() -> aem_map_names# Read in all the maps JSaem_map_urls |> lapply(readLines) |> setNames(aem_map_names) -> aem_js_maps# Start a new JS contextctx <- v8()names(aem_js_maps) |> sapply(\(.map) { # Find the "data:" start line and the closing JS array lines start <- which(stri_detect_fixed(aem_js_maps[[.map]], "data:")) end <- tail(which(stri_detect_fixed(aem_js_maps[[.map]], "],")), 2)[1] # Clean them up so we can eval them aem_js_maps[[.map]][start] <- stri_replace_first_fixed(aem_js_maps[[.map]][start], "data:", sprintf("const %s =", .map)) aem_js_maps[[.map]][end] <- stri_replace_last_fixed(aem_js_maps[[.map]][end], ",", "") # Eval the JS in the context we made ctx$eval(aem_js_maps[[.map]][start:end]) # Retrieve the value ctx$get(.map) }) |> jsonlite::toJSON() |> writeLines("aem-maps.json")we-go
We-go (a.k.a.,
wego), is a golang weather client for the terminal written in. It provides a convenient, “no-frills” way to access weather forecasts directly from the command line. You can see the forecast for 1-7 days and configure preferred units.It supports multiple “backend” weather sources (caiyunapp.com, openweathermap, smhi, worldweatheronline), including the ability to provide your own JSON source.
Output options include an ASCII art table, emoji, JSON, or markdown.
While it is “yet-another” CLI weather client, this one seems super flexible and hackable. The source is very grokable and you may enjoy a challenge to add an interface to Apple’s WeatherKit (I may try that, too).
The first run generates a config file that you can edit to adjust the default behavior.
CARROT AR Wx
I 💙 CARROT enough to give it a prominent spot on my Apple device screens and use it daily.
My weather info needs are focused on data values, so I only recently discovered CARROT’s augmented reality (AR) mode. It’s more kitschy than useful, but it’s kind of fun being berated (and informed) on-device and in virtual meatspace.
It’s worth the coin for a subscription, and you can see a snap of the AR mode in the section header.

AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup – April 2026
Introduction
Hi, and welcome to another edition of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup!
This time we’ll have a look at what has been going on in the community and on the platform in April.
Without further ado, let us head over to the news!
Software News
AirPrint
This is a printer utility for AmigaOS 4.
According to the author:
“This is only released through the Forum of http://www.amigans.net for Alpha testing. Still early stage, but work is ongoing.”
Release 0.36A:
1. Printer spooler directory should work properly now, this caused a lot of
problems.2. Printers was found trough search function, but printer properties was not
added correctly or not found. Should be working better now.3. Added SSL support, but require that you have AmiSSL installed, link to
Os4Depot above. For some of the debug logs I got from you, the printers required
SSL.4. In the search window I added the possibility to search by manual ip address
in case your printer is located on another subnetwork and my auto search does
not find it.https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/print/airprint.lha
AirScan
Version 0.2 of AirScan has been released. This is an Amiga scanner utility based on the ESCL protocol. You can search for scanners in your network with the MDNS protocol. You can also add scanners by their IP address. Works with eSCL 2.5 and 2.62 devices. Tested on Epson XP-322 and Epson ET L3160.
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/print/airscanner.lha
AmiArcadia
Version 36.11 of AmiArcadia for AmigaOS 4, a Signetics-based machines emulator, has been released by James Jacobs.
According to the documentation, AmiArcadia supports the following systems:
- Emerson Arcadia 2001 console family (Bandai, Emerson, Grandstand, Intervision, Leisure-Vision, Leonardo, MPT-03, Ormatu, Palladium, Poppy, Robdajet, Tele-Fever, Tempest, Tryom, Tunix, etc.) (c. 1982);
- Interton VC 4000 console family (Acetronic, Cabel, Fountain, Hanimex, Interton, Prinztronic, Radofin, Rowtron, Soundic, Voltmace, Waddingtons, etc.) (c. 1978);

AmigaDiskBench v2.8
Derfs is back again with an update to AmigaDiskBench.
AmigaDiskBench is a modern, high-performance disk benchmarking utility specifically designed for AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition.
It provides a robust, ReAction-based GUI to measure, analyze, and visualize the performance of various storage devices, filesystems, and hardware configurations.
v2.9 (Current)
– Fixed: Random 4K Write, Random 4K Read, and Mixed R/W 70/30 tests failed on all hardware. ChangeFilePosition() returns -1 on some systems/filesystems despite the seek succeeding. Seek error detection now uses IoErr() instead of the return value.
– S.M.A.R.T. attribute name table expanded from 36 to 68 known attributes. Added SSD-specific attributes (Samsung, Intel, Micron, Kingston), HDD mechanical attributes, extended LBA counters, and missing ID 11 (Calibration Retry Count).
– Build identification: startup banner always prints version and build timestamp to the debug console.
– Module-selective debug: DEBUG_THIS_MODULE opt-in mechanism for focused serial debug output during diagnosis.https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/benchmark/amigadiskbench.lha
AmiSSL
Version 5.27 of AmiSSL has been released. As mentioned in earlier editions of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup, the AmiSSL project is a collaborative effort to develop a port of OpenSSL in a shared library for Amiga-based systems. It is a must-have if you use AmigaOS 4 to browse the web!
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=library/misc/amissl.lha

https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/misc/baphomet.lha
Depscan
The utility was created by Lorence Lombardo. Version 2.0 is now out and available for download.
Depscan was based on Megacz’s “Depstrack”, but was not translated at all, and was written entirely from scratch.
Depscan is intended for future use with bgpk’s extended information scripts.
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/shell/depscan.lha
Dopus5ByAI
A new fork of Dopus 5 has been established. Please read below for more information.
“Directory Opus 5.100 – All Amigas
A modern, actively-maintained fork of Directory Opus 5 Magellan II, the legendary Amiga file manager, ported and updated for all Amiga-like platforms.
This fork (dopus5allamigas) picks up where the 2012 APL open-source release left off, adding bug fixes, new features, and continued platform support.
Supported platforms
– AmigaOS 3 (m68k, including OS3.9/OS3.2)

Grimorium PDF
Grimorium PDF is a utility you can use to open PDF documents, such as invoices, receipts, blueprints, and so forth.
It can export the pages to formats such as JPG and GIF. Version 2.60 is out now. It has now been compiled with Hollywood 112.0, using the new plugin PDF 2.0.
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/text/misc/grimoriumpdf.lha
HollyTris
If you like Tetris, you’ll probably be happy to read that a new clone has been released!
It is called HollyTris and was developed by A500Fan. You can download it for free via the link below:
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=game/puzzle/hollytris.lha
Hwp_HTTPStreamer
In the readme over on OS4Depot, we can read the following:
“This plugin enables Hollywood to open and stream files from HTTP sources as if they were stored on a local drive. Once this plugin has been activated, all Hollywood functions that deal with files will “automagically” be able to open files from HTTP sources as well. Starting with version 2.0, HTTP Streamer also supports the hURL plugin, which makes it possible to stream data using lots of other protocols, such as HTTPS or FTP.
HTTP Streamer uses a sophisticated multi-threaded design for highly efficient
streaming. Each connection is managed by a dedicated thread for optimal performance. The
plugin also supports Hollywood 6.0’s new streaming APIs, which means that you will be able to
stream audio and video files from HTTP sources with plugins like avcodec.hwp.”https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=library/hollywood/httpstreamer.lha
Hwp_hURL
Another nice plugin for Hollywood.
“hURL is a plugin for Hollywood that allows you to transfer data using many different protocols. Based on curl, hURL supports an incredibly wide range of transfer protocols, e.g., DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, Gopher, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, Telnet and TFTP. Furthermore, hURL supports SSL certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, HTTP form based upload, proxies, HTTP/2, cookies, user+password authentication (Basic, Plain, Digest, CRAM-MD5, NTLM, Negotiate and Kerberos), file transfer resume, proxy tunneling and more. It really is the ultimate data transfer engine for Hollywood, leaving nothing to be desired.”
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=library/hollywood/hurl.lha
iConecta
This is a small and handy utility that can be used to test your Internet connection. It is being developed by Juan Carlos Herrán Martín.
For the new version, the author has removed the Miniwood system due to visual problems with the clock.
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=network/misc/iconecta.lha
MCC_HTMLView
“HTMLview.mcc is a MUI custom class that renders HTML inside any MUI application. The class supports the bulk of HTML 4 and is fast enough to drop into mail readers, news readers, and help browsers without a noticeable parse step.”
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=library/mui/mcc_htmlview.lha
NodeAmiga
A complete JavaScript engine and runtime environment for classic Amiga computers. Built from scratch in C, targeting MC68000 and AmigaOS 2.0+. Inspired by Node.js, adapted for the Amiga platform.
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=development/language/nodeamiga.lha
PolarPaint
PolarPaint is an experimental paint program made in Hollywood by Anbjørn Myren. Version 1.381 was uploaded to OS4Depot and became available on April 17th.
There are currently two versions available, one regular and one small. More information about all changes can be found on OS4Depot.
– Fix – Check that filename is not same as input file when saving with delay
– RMB button change when switching mode
– Missing filters in save fil requestorshttps://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=graphics/edit/polarpaint.lha

With this application, depending on your address, a list of gas stations can be found. A navigation aid is also offered. Version 1.7 is now available for download.
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/misc/rapatank.zip
Rave
Daniel Jedlicka has released an updated version of Rave, his sound editor for AmigaOS 4-compatible computers. It provides functionality for manipulating and storing digital audio files.
Changes since the previous release are as follows:
– A configurable ruler above the waveform display now shows time or sample
position.– Fixed: After changing the font in the Settings, the font name gadget could
show garbage in certain circumstances.– Fixed: An off-by-one error introduced in sndeditor.gadget 1.5 could freeze the
system when click-dragging past the gadget’s right border.– Added a workaround for a bug in button.gadget <54.3 that could trigger a race
condition and result in a crash on AmigaOne X1000 computers.– Based on a user request, lowered the minimum supported sample rate to 4000 Hz.
– Various other smaller improvements and fixes.
– Updated documentation.

Maijestro, who runs the Amiga Retro Channel on YouTube, is working hard to improve the AmigaOS 4 port of ScummVM and keep it up to date. No easy task for sure, but he is doing a great job so far! I’m happy that this version runs fine on my A1222+.
Old screenshot showing The Curse of the Monkey Island running through ScummVM.ScummVM is a program that allows you to run many classic point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have the game data files. ScummVM replaces the executables shipped with the original games, allowing you to play them on modern hardware.
This is a native AmigaOS4 PPC port of ScummVM, built with GLES2 support via Warp3D Nova. It runs on AmigaOne X5000 and compatible hardware. For QEMU and Pegasos2 users, Wazp3D is required as a software OpenGL replacement:
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=library/graphics/wazp3d.lha
VERSION HISTORY:
2026.2.0-AmigaOS4 – Major update– Updated to ScummVM 2026.2.0
– 92 engines included (up from 26)
– Vulkan support removed (not needed, GLES2 via gl4es used)
– Mouse Grab support added (Ctrl+M to toggle)
– Startup time reduced to ~1 second
– shaders.dat caching added
– All debug output removed (clean release build)
– Version string cleaned up (no git hash)
– Binary stripped (22MB)
– clib4.library V2.1 included
– FluidSynth MIDI driver added and confirmed working on X5000 (SoundFont .sf2 files go in the soundfonts/ folder in PROGDIR:)
– TiMidity MIDI driver added and confirmed working on X5000
– MM1 (Might & Magic 1) engine enabled
– SCI32 engine enabled (Blue Force, PQ4, SQ6, Phantasmagoria)

AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup – April 2026
Introduction
Hi, and welcome to another edition of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup!
This time we’ll have a look at what has been going on in the community and on the platform in April.
Without further ado, let us head over to the news!
Software News
AirPrint
This is a printer utility for AmigaOS 4.
According to the author:
“This is only released through the Forum of http://www.amigans.net for Alpha testing. Still early stage, but work is ongoing.”
Release 0.36A:
1. Printer spooler directory should work properly now, this caused a lot of
problems.2. Printers was found trough search function, but printer properties was not
added correctly or not found. Should be working better now.3. Added SSL support, but require that you have AmiSSL installed, link to
Os4Depot above. For some of the debug logs I got from you, the printers required
SSL.4. In the search window I added the possibility to search by manual ip address
in case your printer is located on another subnetwork and my auto search does
not find it.https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/print/airprint.lha
AirScan
Version 0.2 of AirScan has been released. This is an Amiga scanner utility based on the ESCL protocol. You can search for scanners in your network with the MDNS protocol. You can also add scanners by their IP address. Works with eSCL 2.5 and 2.62 devices. Tested on Epson XP-322 and Epson ET L3160.
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/print/airscanner.lha
AmiArcadia
Version 36.11 of AmiArcadia for AmigaOS 4, a Signetics-based machines emulator, has been released by James Jacobs.

AmigaDiskBench v2.8
Derfs is back again with an update to AmigaDiskBench.
AmigaDiskBench is a modern, high-performance disk benchmarking utility specifically designed for AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition.
It provides a robust, ReAction-based GUI to measure, analyze, and visualize the performance of various storage devices, filesystems, and hardware configurations.
v2.9 (Current)
– Fixed: Random 4K Write, Random 4K Read, and Mixed R/W 70/30 tests failed on all hardware. ChangeFilePosition() returns -1 on some systems/filesystems despite the seek succeeding. Seek error detection now uses IoErr() instead of the return value.
– S.M.A.R.T. attribute name table expanded from 36 to 68 known attributes. Added SSD-specific attributes (Samsung, Intel, Micron, Kingston), HDD mechanical attributes, extended LBA counters, and missing ID 11 (Calibration Retry Count).
– Build identification: startup banner always prints version and build timestamp to the debug console.
– Module-selective debug: DEBUG_THIS_MODULE opt-in mechanism for focused serial debug output during diagnosis.https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/benchmark/amigadiskbench.lha
AmiSSL
Version 5.27 of AmiSSL has been released. As mentioned in earlier editions of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup, the AmiSSL project is a collaborative effort to develop a port of OpenSSL in a shared library for Amiga-based systems. It is a must-have if you use AmigaOS 4 to browse the web!

https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/misc/baphomet.lha
Depscan
The utility was created by Lorence Lombardo. Version 2.0 is now out and available for download.
Depscan was based on Megacz’s “Depstrack”, but was not translated at all, and was written entirely from scratch.
Depscan is intended for future use with bgpk’s extended information scripts.
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/shell/depscan.lha
Dopus5ByAI
A new fork of Dopus 5 has been established. Please read below for more information.
“Directory Opus 5.100 – All Amigas
A modern, actively-maintained fork of Directory Opus 5 Magellan II, the legendary Amiga file manager, ported and updated for all Amiga-like platforms.

https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/text/misc/grimoriumpdf.lha
HollyTris
If you like Tetris, you’ll probably be happy to read that a new clone has been released!
It is called HollyTris and was developed by A500Fan. You can download it for free via the link below:
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=game/puzzle/hollytris.lha
Hwp_HTTPStreamer
In the readme over on OS4Depot, we can read the following:
“This plugin enables Hollywood to open and stream files from HTTP sources as if they were stored on a local drive. Once this plugin has been activated, all Hollywood functions that deal with files will “automagically” be able to open files from HTTP sources as well. Starting with version 2.0, HTTP Streamer also supports the hURL plugin, which makes it possible to stream data using lots of other protocols, such as HTTPS or FTP.
HTTP Streamer uses a sophisticated multi-threaded design for highly efficient
streaming. Each connection is managed by a dedicated thread for optimal performance. The
plugin also supports Hollywood 6.0’s new streaming APIs, which means that you will be able to
stream audio and video files from HTTP sources with plugins like avcodec.hwp.”https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=library/hollywood/httpstreamer.lha
Hwp_hURL
Another nice plugin for Hollywood.
“hURL is a plugin for Hollywood that allows you to transfer data using many different protocols. Based on curl, hURL supports an incredibly wide range of transfer protocols, e.g., DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, Gopher, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, Telnet and TFTP. Furthermore, hURL supports SSL certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, HTTP form based upload, proxies, HTTP/2, cookies, user+password authentication (Basic, Plain, Digest, CRAM-MD5, NTLM, Negotiate and Kerberos), file transfer resume, proxy tunneling and more. It really is the ultimate data transfer engine for Hollywood, leaving nothing to be desired.”
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=library/hollywood/hurl.lha
iConecta
This is a small and handy utility that can be used to test your Internet connection. It is being developed by Juan Carlos Herrán Martín.
For the new version, the author has removed the Miniwood system due to visual problems with the clock.
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=network/misc/iconecta.lha
MCC_HTMLView
“HTMLview.mcc is a MUI custom class that renders HTML inside any MUI application. The class supports the bulk of HTML 4 and is fast enough to drop into mail readers, news readers, and help browsers without a noticeable parse step.”
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=library/mui/mcc_htmlview.lha
NodeAmiga
A complete JavaScript engine and runtime environment for classic Amiga computers. Built from scratch in C, targeting MC68000 and AmigaOS 2.0+. Inspired by Node.js, adapted for the Amiga platform.
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=development/language/nodeamiga.lha

https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/misc/rapatank.zip
Rave
Daniel Jedlicka has released an updated version of Rave, his sound editor for AmigaOS 4-compatible computers. It provides functionality for manipulating and storing digital audio files.
Changes since the previous release are as follows:
– A configurable ruler above the waveform display now shows time or sample
position.– Fixed: After changing the font in the Settings, the font name gadget could
show garbage in certain circumstances.– Fixed: An off-by-one error introduced in sndeditor.gadget 1.5 could freeze the
system when click-dragging past the gadget’s right border.– Added a workaround for a bug in button.gadget <54.3 that could trigger a race
condition and result in a crash on AmigaOne X1000 computers.– Based on a user request, lowered the minimum supported sample rate to 4000 Hz.
– Various other smaller improvements and fixes.

AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup – April 2026
Introduction
Hi, and welcome to another edition of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup!
This time we’ll have a look at what has been going on in the community and on the platform in April.
Without further ado, let us head over to the news!
Software News
AirPrint
This is a printer utility for AmigaOS 4.
According to the author:
“This is only released through the Forum of http://www.amigans.net for Alpha testing. Still early stage, but work is ongoing.”
Release 0.36A:
1. Printer spooler directory should work properly now, this caused a lot of
problems.2. Printers was found trough search function, but printer properties was not
added correctly or not found. Should be working better now.3. Added SSL support, but require that you have AmiSSL installed, link to
Os4Depot above. For some of the debug logs I got from you, the printers required
SSL.4. In the search window I added the possibility to search by manual ip address
in case your printer is located on another subnetwork and my auto search does
not find it.https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/print/airprint.lha

https://amitopia.com/axion-brings-fully-3d-tactical-combat-to-the-amiga/
Ghettofinger Gaming made a video showing the game running on his AmigaOne X5000/040:
Baphomet Screensaver
First up in April is the Baphomet Screensaver by Juan Carlos Herrán Martín. It has a gothic theme with demons and angels, depicting the eternal battle of good and evil on your screen.
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/misc/baphomet.lha
Depscan
The utility was created by Lorence Lombardo. Version 2.0 is now out and available for download.
Depscan was based on Megacz’s “Depstrack”, but was not translated at all, and was written entirely from scratch.
Depscan is intended for future use with bgpk’s extended information scripts.
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/shell/depscan.lha
Dopus5ByAI
A new fork of Dopus 5 has been established. Please read below for more information.
“Directory Opus 5.100 – All Amigas
A modern, actively-maintained fork of Directory Opus 5 Magellan II, the legendary Amiga file manager, ported and updated for all Amiga-like platforms.

Grimorium PDF
Grimorium PDF is a utility you can use to open PDF documents, such as invoices, receipts, blueprints, and so forth.
It can export the pages to formats such as JPG and GIF. Version 2.60 is out now. It has now been compiled with Hollywood 112.0, using the new plugin PDF 2.0.
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/text/misc/grimoriumpdf.lha
HollyTris
If you like Tetris, you’ll probably be happy to read that a new clone has been released!
It is called HollyTris and was developed by A500Fan. You can download it for free via the link below:
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=game/puzzle/hollytris.lha
Hwp_HTTPStreamer
In the readme over on OS4Depot, we can read the following:
“This plugin enables Hollywood to open and stream files from HTTP sources as if they were stored on a local drive. Once this plugin has been activated, all Hollywood functions that deal with files will “automagically” be able to open files from HTTP sources as well. Starting with version 2.0, HTTP Streamer also supports the hURL plugin, which makes it possible to stream data using lots of other protocols, such as HTTPS or FTP.
HTTP Streamer uses a sophisticated multi-threaded design for highly efficient
streaming. Each connection is managed by a dedicated thread for optimal performance. The
plugin also supports Hollywood 6.0’s new streaming APIs, which means that you will be able to
stream audio and video files from HTTP sources with plugins like avcodec.hwp.”https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=library/hollywood/httpstreamer.lha
Hwp_hURL
Another nice plugin for Hollywood.
“hURL is a plugin for Hollywood that allows you to transfer data using many different protocols. Based on curl, hURL supports an incredibly wide range of transfer protocols, e.g., DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, Gopher, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, Telnet and TFTP. Furthermore, hURL supports SSL certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, HTTP form based upload, proxies, HTTP/2, cookies, user+password authentication (Basic, Plain, Digest, CRAM-MD5, NTLM, Negotiate and Kerberos), file transfer resume, proxy tunneling and more. It really is the ultimate data transfer engine for Hollywood, leaving nothing to be desired.”
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=library/hollywood/hurl.lha
iConecta
This is a small and handy utility that can be used to test your Internet connection. It is being developed by Juan Carlos Herrán Martín.
For the new version, the author has removed the Miniwood system due to visual problems with the clock.
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=network/misc/iconecta.lha
MCC_HTMLView
“HTMLview.mcc is a MUI custom class that renders HTML inside any MUI application. The class supports the bulk of HTML 4 and is fast enough to drop into mail readers, news readers, and help browsers without a noticeable parse step.”
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=library/mui/mcc_htmlview.lha
NodeAmiga
A complete JavaScript engine and runtime environment for classic Amiga computers. Built from scratch in C, targeting MC68000 and AmigaOS 2.0+. Inspired by Node.js, adapted for the Amiga platform.
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=development/language/nodeamiga.lha
PolarPaint
PolarPaint is an experimental paint program made in Hollywood by Anbjørn Myren. Version 1.381 was uploaded to OS4Depot and became available on April 17th.
There are currently two versions available, one regular and one small. More information about all changes can be found on OS4Depot.
– Fix – Check that filename is not same as input file when saving with delay

– Missing filters in save fil requestorshttps://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=graphics/edit/polarpaint.lha
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=graphics/edit/polarpaint_small.lhaRapaTank
With this application, depending on your address, a list of gas stations can be found. A navigation aid is also offered. Version 1.7 is now available for download.
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/misc/rapatank.zip
Rave
Daniel Jedlicka has released an updated version of Rave, his sound editor for AmigaOS 4-compatible computers. It provides functionality for manipulating and storing digital audio files.
Changes since the previous release are as follows:
– A configurable ruler above the waveform display now shows time or sample
position.– Fixed: After changing the font in the Settings, the font name gadget could
show garbage in certain circumstances.– Fixed: An off-by-one error introduced in sndeditor.gadget 1.5 could freeze the
system when click-dragging past the gadget’s right border.– Added a workaround for a bug in button.gadget <54.3 that could trigger a race
condition and result in a crash on AmigaOne X1000 computers.– Based on a user request, lowered the minimum supported sample rate to 4000 Hz.
– Various other smaller improvements and fixes.
– Updated documentation.
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=audio/edit/rave.lha
ScummVM
Maijestro, who runs the Amiga Retro Channel on YouTube, is working hard to improve the AmigaOS 4 port of ScummVM and keep it up to date. No easy task for sure, but he is doing a great job so far! I’m happy that this version runs fine on my A1222+.
Old screenshot showing The Curse of the Monkey Island running through ScummVM.ScummVM is a program that allows you to run many classic point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have the game data files. ScummVM replaces the executables shipped with the original games, allowing you to play them on modern hardware.
This is a native AmigaOS4 PPC port of ScummVM, built with GLES2 support via Warp3D Nova. It runs on AmigaOne X5000 and compatible hardware. For QEMU and Pegasos2 users, Wazp3D is required as a software OpenGL replacement:
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=library/graphics/wazp3d.lha
VERSION HISTORY:
2026.2.0-AmigaOS4 – Major update– Updated to ScummVM 2026.2.0
– 92 engines included (up from 26)
– Vulkan support removed (not needed, GLES2 via gl4es used)
– Mouse Grab support added (Ctrl+M to toggle)
– Startup time reduced to ~1 second
– shaders.dat caching added
– All debug output removed (clean release build)
– Version string cleaned up (no git hash)
– Binary stripped (22MB)
– clib4.library V2.1 included
– FluidSynth MIDI driver added and confirmed working on X5000 (SoundFont .sf2 files go in the soundfonts/ folder in PROGDIR:)
– TiMidity MIDI driver added and confirmed working on X5000
– MM1 (Might & Magic 1) engine enabled
– SCI32 engine enabled (Blue Force, PQ4, SQ6, Phantasmagoria)
– GUI fix: Override settings (Audio/MIDI/Graphics) now correctly initialized when opening Edit Game dialog
– GUI fix: GM Device and MT-32 Device dropdowns are now correctly enabled when the MIDI override is active in per-game settings
– CAMD: MIDI port selection now correctly lists all available ports
– BUG FIX: GUI Scale crash fixed — switching scale in fullscreen mode no longer causes “Surface::transBlitFrom: bytesPerPixel must be 1, 2, 4” error and quit (3bpp surface is now correctly converted to 32bit)
– BUG FIX: GUI Scale default set to 100% on first launch — GUI is now fully functional on first start without a config file
– BUG FIX: False “Unknown Level 9 game or version” detection fixed — games like Necronomicon no longer show a spurious Level 9 entry in the game list. Root cause was a logic error in the Level 9 scanner (present in all ScummVM platforms) which has been corrected.SerialShell
In the documents, we can read the following:
SerialShell is a lightweight TCP server that runs on AmigaOS 4 and enables remote command execution, file transfer, and program output capture from a host machine. It is designed for developers who use QEMU or real Amiga hardware and want to automate build-deploy-test workflows from their development PC.
Key features:
– Execute AmigaOS shell commands remotely and capture output
– Upload and download files over TCP (binary safe)
– Run clib4/-athread=native programs with output capture
– Minimal footprint (~70 KB), no external dependencies
– Auto-starts at boot via S:User-Startuphttps://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=development/utility/serialshell.lha
Snoopy
If you’d like to have a peek at what actually goes on behind the curtains on your AmigaOS 4 desktop, the utility called Snoopy will be able to help you. Created by Colin Wenzel, this is a SnoopDos-like program that will reveal all kinds of information about what is happening.
Snoopy 54.129 (16-04-2026): CJW
– Bumped Snoopy DOS update version warning to 54.155https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/filetool/snoopy.lha
Vintage Song Player
This is a music player created by Juan Carlos Herrán Martín. It supports a wide range of formats, such as MP3, MOD, MED, XM, S3M, and so forth.
Version 2.75 is out now. The option to raise or lower the volume has been included at the request of Helmut Haake.
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=audio/play/vintagesongplayer.lha
VirtIO SCSI Device Driver for AmigaOS 4.1 FE
Derf has released version 1.8 of this driver. Virtioscsi.device is a device driver for AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition that gives the operating system access to VirtIO SCSI virtual disks in QEMU virtual machines.
He writes as follows:
“This driver was developed with Claude AI (Anthropic) acting as the primary engineer – writing all C code, designing the architecture, debugging hardware-level issues, and navigating the AmigaOS 4.1 SDK. It is a
practical demonstration of AI-assisted low-level systems programming on a niche, legacy platform with minimal AI training data available.”https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=driver/storage/virtioscsi.lha
WipeOut-RE Fantomas Edition
HunoPPC announced the final version of this game:
“Hello Amigans, Here is the final version of WipeOut-RE Fontômas edition Normal and SPE version.
This version speeds up the engine by 2.5x and you will be able to take advantage of shaders with effects (CRT, etc.).
On A1222 + RX480 8GO (native screen) = 200 fps 70% of CPU
On X5000 + RX560 3GO (native screen) = 400 fps 40% of CPU
This version is in Beta on my FTP server (named: wipegame_egl).
This version is hybrid (Normal and SPE) and uses the new version of EGL_Wrap (W.I.P. not distributed).
The final version should be released soon, and you will be able to fully enjoy it on your NG machines.
Thank you for your support and patience, as this is a colossal undertaking, especially since I am the only one writing the code and fixing the problems. Have a good day!”
https://ko-fi.com/post/WipeOut-RE-Fontomas-edition-NORMALSPE-Core-final-O4O71WKDTG
On April 27th he announced:
“We’re finally here!! We’re on the home stretch before the release of WipeOut-RE Shaders and WipeOut-RE Fantômas Edition.
Three months of work to achieve this result in my free time
These two versions will be officially released this weekend and will be available for download on my website.”https://ko-fi.com/post/WipeOut-RE-Shaders-and-WipeOut-RE-Shaders-Fantomas-D1D21YJIW6
Looks like brilliant work once again from HunoPPC!

ScummVM
Maijestro, who runs the Amiga Retro Channel on YouTube, is working hard to improve the AmigaOS 4 port of ScummVM and keep it up to date. No easy task for sure, but he is doing a great job so far! I’m happy that this version runs fine on my A1222+.
Old screenshot showing The Curse of the Monkey Island running through ScummVM.ScummVM is a program that allows you to run many classic point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have the game data files. ScummVM replaces the executables shipped with the original games, allowing you to play them on modern hardware.
This is a native AmigaOS4 PPC port of ScummVM, built with GLES2 support via Warp3D Nova. It runs on AmigaOne X5000 and compatible hardware. For QEMU and Pegasos2 users, Wazp3D is required as a software OpenGL replacement:
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=library/graphics/wazp3d.lha
VERSION HISTORY:
2026.2.0-AmigaOS4 – Major update– Updated to ScummVM 2026.2.0
– 92 engines included (up from 26)
– Vulkan support removed (not needed, GLES2 via gl4es used)
– Mouse Grab support added (Ctrl+M to toggle)
– Startup time reduced to ~1 second
– shaders.dat caching added
– All debug output removed (clean release build)
– Version string cleaned up (no git hash)
– Binary stripped (22MB)
– clib4.library V2.1 included
– FluidSynth MIDI driver added and confirmed working on X5000 (SoundFont .sf2 files go in the soundfonts/ folder in PROGDIR:)
– TiMidity MIDI driver added and confirmed working on X5000
– MM1 (Might & Magic 1) engine enabled
– SCI32 engine enabled (Blue Force, PQ4, SQ6, Phantasmagoria)
– GUI fix: Override settings (Audio/MIDI/Graphics) now correctly initialized when opening Edit Game dialog
– GUI fix: GM Device and MT-32 Device dropdowns are now correctly enabled when the MIDI override is active in per-game settings
– CAMD: MIDI port selection now correctly lists all available ports
– BUG FIX: GUI Scale crash fixed — switching scale in fullscreen mode no longer causes “Surface::transBlitFrom: bytesPerPixel must be 1, 2, 4” error and quit (3bpp surface is now correctly converted to 32bit)
– BUG FIX: GUI Scale default set to 100% on first launch — GUI is now fully functional on first start without a config file
– BUG FIX: False “Unknown Level 9 game or version” detection fixed — games like Necronomicon no longer show a spurious Level 9 entry in the game list. Root cause was a logic error in the Level 9 scanner (present in all ScummVM platforms) which has been corrected.SerialShell
In the documents, we can read the following:
SerialShell is a lightweight TCP server that runs on AmigaOS 4 and enables remote command execution, file transfer, and program output capture from a host machine. It is designed for developers who use QEMU or real Amiga hardware and want to automate build-deploy-test workflows from their development PC.
Key features:

VirtIO SCSI Device Driver for AmigaOS 4.1 FE
Derf has released version 1.8 of this driver. Virtioscsi.device is a device driver for AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition that gives the operating system access to VirtIO SCSI virtual disks in QEMU virtual machines.
He writes as follows:
“This driver was developed with Claude AI (Anthropic) acting as the primary engineer – writing all C code, designing the architecture, debugging hardware-level issues, and navigating the AmigaOS 4.1 SDK. It is a
practical demonstration of AI-assisted low-level systems programming on a niche, legacy platform with minimal AI training data available.”https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=driver/storage/virtioscsi.lha
WipeOut-RE Fantomas Edition
HunoPPC announced the final version of this game:
“Hello Amigans, Here is the final version of WipeOut-RE Fontômas edition Normal and SPE version.
This version speeds up the engine by 2.5x and you will be able to take advantage of shaders with effects (CRT, etc.).
On A1222 + RX480 8GO (native screen) = 200 fps 70% of CPU
On X5000 + RX560 3GO (native screen) = 400 fps 40% of CPU
This version is in Beta on my FTP server (named: wipegame_egl).
This version is hybrid (Normal and SPE) and uses the new version of EGL_Wrap (W.I.P. not distributed).
The final version should be released soon, and you will be able to fully enjoy it on your NG machines.
Thank you for your support and patience, as this is a colossal undertaking, especially since I am the only one writing the code and fixing the problems. Have a good day!”
https://ko-fi.com/post/WipeOut-RE-Fontomas-edition-NORMALSPE-Core-final-O4O71WKDTG
On April 27th he announced:
“We’re finally here!! We’re on the home stretch before the release of WipeOut-RE Shaders and WipeOut-RE Fantômas Edition.
Three months of work to achieve this result in my free time
These two versions will be officially released this weekend and will be available for download on my website.”https://ko-fi.com/post/WipeOut-RE-Shaders-and-WipeOut-RE-Shaders-Fantomas-D1D21YJIW6

plugin also supports Hollywood 6.0’s new streaming APIs, which means that you will be able to
stream audio and video files from HTTP sources with plugins like avcodec.hwp.”https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=library/hollywood/httpstreamer.lha
Hwp_hURL
Another nice plugin for Hollywood.
“hURL is a plugin for Hollywood that allows you to transfer data using many different protocols. Based on curl, hURL supports an incredibly wide range of transfer protocols, e.g., DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, Gopher, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, Telnet and TFTP. Furthermore, hURL supports SSL certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, HTTP form based upload, proxies, HTTP/2, cookies, user+password authentication (Basic, Plain, Digest, CRAM-MD5, NTLM, Negotiate and Kerberos), file transfer resume, proxy tunneling and more. It really is the ultimate data transfer engine for Hollywood, leaving nothing to be desired.”

ScummVM
Maijestro, who runs the Amiga Retro Channel on YouTube, is working hard to improve the AmigaOS 4 port of ScummVM and keep it up to date. No easy task for sure, but he is doing a great job so far! I’m happy that this version runs fine on my A1222+.
Old screenshot showing The Curse of the Monkey Island running through ScummVM.ScummVM is a program that allows you to run many classic point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have the game data files. ScummVM replaces the executables shipped with the original games, allowing you to play them on modern hardware.
This is a native AmigaOS4 PPC port of ScummVM, built with GLES2 support via Warp3D Nova. It runs on AmigaOne X5000 and compatible hardware. For QEMU and Pegasos2 users, Wazp3D is required as a software OpenGL replacement:
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=library/graphics/wazp3d.lha
VERSION HISTORY:
2026.2.0-AmigaOS4 – Major update– Updated to ScummVM 2026.2.0
– 92 engines included (up from 26)
– Vulkan support removed (not needed, GLES2 via gl4es used)
– Mouse Grab support added (Ctrl+M to toggle)
– Startup time reduced to ~1 second
– shaders.dat caching added
– All debug output removed (clean release build)
– Version string cleaned up (no git hash)
– Binary stripped (22MB)
– clib4.library V2.1 included
– FluidSynth MIDI driver added and confirmed working on X5000 (SoundFont .sf2 files go in the soundfonts/ folder in PROGDIR:)
– TiMidity MIDI driver added and confirmed working on X5000
– MM1 (Might & Magic 1) engine enabled
– SCI32 engine enabled (Blue Force, PQ4, SQ6, Phantasmagoria)
– GUI fix: Override settings (Audio/MIDI/Graphics) now correctly initialized when opening Edit Game dialog
– GUI fix: GM Device and MT-32 Device dropdowns are now correctly enabled when the MIDI override is active in per-game settings
– CAMD: MIDI port selection now correctly lists all available ports
– BUG FIX: GUI Scale crash fixed — switching scale in fullscreen mode no longer causes “Surface::transBlitFrom: bytesPerPixel must be 1, 2, 4” error and quit (3bpp surface is now correctly converted to 32bit)
– BUG FIX: GUI Scale default set to 100% on first launch — GUI is now fully functional on first start without a config file
– BUG FIX: False “Unknown Level 9 game or version” detection fixed — games like Necronomicon no longer show a spurious Level 9 entry in the game list. Root cause was a logic error in the Level 9 scanner (present in all ScummVM platforms) which has been corrected.SerialShell
In the documents, we can read the following:
SerialShell is a lightweight TCP server that runs on AmigaOS 4 and enables remote command execution, file transfer, and program output capture from a host machine. It is designed for developers who use QEMU or real Amiga hardware and want to automate build-deploy-test workflows from their development PC.
Key features:
– Execute AmigaOS shell commands remotely and capture output
– Upload and download files over TCP (binary safe)
– Run clib4/-athread=native programs with output capture
– Minimal footprint (~70 KB), no external dependencies
– Auto-starts at boot via S:User-Startuphttps://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=development/utility/serialshell.lha
Snoopy
If you’d like to have a peek at what actually goes on behind the curtains on your AmigaOS 4 desktop, the utility called Snoopy will be able to help you. Created by Colin Wenzel, this is a SnoopDos-like program that will reveal all kinds of information about what is happening.
Snoopy 54.129 (16-04-2026): CJW
– Bumped Snoopy DOS update version warning to 54.155https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/filetool/snoopy.lha
Vintage Song Player
This is a music player created by Juan Carlos Herrán Martín. It supports a wide range of formats, such as MP3, MOD, MED, XM, S3M, and so forth.
Version 2.75 is out now. The option to raise or lower the volume has been included at the request of Helmut Haake.
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=audio/play/vintagesongplayer.lha
VirtIO SCSI Device Driver for AmigaOS 4.1 FE
Derf has released version 1.8 of this driver. Virtioscsi.device is a device driver for AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition that gives the operating system access to VirtIO SCSI virtual disks in QEMU virtual machines.
He writes as follows:
“This driver was developed with Claude AI (Anthropic) acting as the primary engineer – writing all C code, designing the architecture, debugging hardware-level issues, and navigating the AmigaOS 4.1 SDK. It is a
practical demonstration of AI-assisted low-level systems programming on a niche, legacy platform with minimal AI training data available.”https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=driver/storage/virtioscsi.lha
WipeOut-RE Fantomas Edition
HunoPPC announced the final version of this game:
“Hello Amigans, Here is the final version of WipeOut-RE Fontômas edition Normal and SPE version.
This version speeds up the engine by 2.5x and you will be able to take advantage of shaders with effects (CRT, etc.).
On A1222 + RX480 8GO (native screen) = 200 fps 70% of CPU
On X5000 + RX560 3GO (native screen) = 400 fps 40% of CPU
This version is in Beta on my FTP server (named: wipegame_egl).
This version is hybrid (Normal and SPE) and uses the new version of EGL_Wrap (W.I.P. not distributed).
The final version should be released soon, and you will be able to fully enjoy it on your NG machines.
Thank you for your support and patience, as this is a colossal undertaking, especially since I am the only one writing the code and fixing the problems. Have a good day!”
https://ko-fi.com/post/WipeOut-RE-Fontomas-edition-NORMALSPE-Core-final-O4O71WKDTG
On April 27th he announced:
“We’re finally here!! We’re on the home stretch before the release of WipeOut-RE Shaders and WipeOut-RE Fantômas Edition.
Three months of work to achieve this result in my free time
These two versions will be officially released this weekend and will be available for download on my website.”https://ko-fi.com/post/WipeOut-RE-Shaders-and-WipeOut-RE-Shaders-Fantomas-D1D21YJIW6

EFU 104.57 EURÓPAI FALU LICENC v1.0
“Az Élő Falu Alkotmánya” – Teljes Magyar Változat
HIVATALOS MEGNEVEZÉS
EFU 104.57 Európai Falu Licenc (European Village License) v1.0
Alcím: “A Közösség Joga a Saját Jövőjére”Kategória: Közösségi Szuverenitási Szabvány
Hatálybalépés: 2026. február 1.
Alapdokumentum: EFU 104.44 Örökélet Licenc v1.0
Kezelő Szervezet: EFU Szabvány Konzorcium + Helyi Közösségi Tanácsok
Kapcsolat: [email protected]I. BEVEZETÉS – MIÉRT SZÜKSÉGES EZ A LICENC?
1.1. A Probléma: A Kisajátított Jövő
Évtizedek óta a falvak passzív befogadói olyan technológiai döntéseknek, amelyeket:
- Multinacionális cégek hoznak (profitmotívum)
- Nemzeti kormányok diktálnak (politikai ciklusok)
- Nemzetközi szervezetek írnak elő (helyi valóságtól elszakadva)
Eredmény:
A falvak olyan rendszerekbe kényszerülnek, amelyek:- Nem kértek (elektromos töltők, amiket senki nem használ)
- Nem értenek (okos rendszerek, amik internet nélkül meghibásodnak)
- Nem tudnak javítani (gépi alkatrészek, amiket csak a gyár cserélhet)
- Nem engedhetnek meg (beruházások, amik generációs adósságot jelentenek)
1.2. A Megoldás: Falusi Szuverenitás
Az Európai Falu Licenc jogi és erkölcsi keretet ad, hogy a közösségek:
- Visszautasítsák az EFU 104.44 szabványt nem teljesítő technológiákat
- Követeljék a teljes átláthatóságot (DNS-Mappa) elfogadás előtt
- Előnyben részesítsék a helyi autonómiát erősítő megoldásokat
- Védjék közösségi erőforrásaikat (föld, idő, tudás, kultúra)
1.3. Alapelv
“Egyetlen technológia sem erőltethető rá egy közösségre annak tájékozott beleegyezése nélkül, amelyet az EFU 104.44 szabvány szerint mérnek, és közvetlen demokratikus eljárással hagynak jóvá.”
II. A KÖZÖSSÉGI VÉDELEM HÉT PILLÉRE
2.1. A TUDÁS JOGA (Átláthatósági Parancs)
2.1.1. Elfogadás Előtti Közzététel

B) Közösségi Értékekkel Való Ütközés
- Sérti a földvédelmi megállapodásokat
- Ütközik kulturális örökséggel
- Csökkenti helyi autonómiát (külső függőséget hoz létre)
C) Elővigyázatosság Elve
- Hosszú távú egészségügyi hatások ismeretlenek
- Ártalmatlanítási út tisztázatlan
- Helyi javítási kapacitás nem létezik
2.2.3. A Vétót Nem Lehet Felülírni
Védelem:
Egyetlen magasabb hatóság (nemzeti kormány, vállalat, nemzetközi szervezet) sem kényszeríthet egy közösséget olyan technológia elfogadására, amelyet ez az eljárás útján elutasítottak.Kivétel:
Csak kihirdetett nemzeti vészhelyzet esetén (háború, természeti katasztrófa) kétharmados parlamenti szavazással ÉS leállási záradékkal (maximum 2 év).2.3. A VÁLASZTÁS JOGA (Technológiai Szuverenitás)
2.3.1. Közösségi Technológiai Prioritások
Minden közösség KÖTELES létrehozni Technológiai Chartáját, prioritásokat rangsorolva:
Példa Sablon:
Közösségünk Technológiai Értékei (1-10 rangsorolás): ___ Helyi javíthatóság (mi magunk javítjuk) ___ Hosszú élettartam (minimum 30+ év) ___ Alacsony földhasználat (termőföld megőrzése) ___ Energiafüggetlenség (külső hálózattól való függetlenség) ___ Munkahely teremtés (helyi karbantartói munkahelyek) ___ Tudástranszfer (készségek a közösségben maradnak) ___ Alacsony R-EFU (minimális ökológiai adósság) ___ Kulturális kompatibilitás (illik életmódunkhoz) ___ Megfizethetőség (közösségi költségvetésen belül) ___ Bizonyított technológia (nem kísérleti)Használat:
Versengő javaslatok összehasonlításakor (pl. napelem farm vs. kis nukleáris vs. biogáz) mindegyiket pontozni kell e charta szerint.2.4. A VÉDELEM JOGA (Erőforrás Védelem)
2.4.1. Földvédelmi Protokollok

2.4.2. Idővédelmi Protokollok
Koncepció:
A közösségi idő erőforrás. A technológiának időt kell felszabadítania, nem fogyasztania.Mérés:
Minden új technológiának számolnia kell:Időfelszabadítási Index (TLI) = (Megtakarított órák) - (Karbantartáshoz + Tanuláshoz szükséges órák) Példák: - Közösségi mosógép: TLI = +500 óra/év (vs. kézi mosás) - "Okos" otthonrendszer: TLI = -200 óra/év (állandó hibakeresés)Küszöb:
TLI-nek pozitívnak kell lennie, különben a technológia elutasításra kerül.2.5. AZ ÖRÖKSÉG JOGA (Generációk Közti Igazságosság)
2.5.1. Az 50 Éves Szabály
Elv:
“Olyan döntéseket nem hozunk, amelyeket unokáink meg fognak átkozni.”
Teszt:
Bármilyen technológia elfogadása előtt a közösség felteszi:A Hét Generáció Kérdése:
- Ez a technológia 50 év múlva is működni fog?
- Unokáink meg tudják javítani helyben elérhető eszközökkel?
- Milyen hulladékot/terhet hagyunk rájuk?
- Ez bővíti vagy csökkenti lehetőségeiket?
- Meglesz-e a tudásuk a karbantartáshoz?
- Ez pótolhatatlan erőforrásokat fogyaszt?
- Büszkék lennénk ezt a döntést nekik elmagyarázni?
Vétó:
Ha ≥3 válasz negatív, a technológia 80% jóváhagyási küszöböt igényel.2.5.2. Ökológiai Adósságplafon
Szabály:
Minden közösség megállapítja Maximum Éves R-EFU Költségvetését.Számítás:
R-EFU Költségvetés = (Népesség) × (Fenntartható EFU/fő) × (Helyi Korrekciós Tényező) Ahol: - Fenntartható EFU/fő = 40,000 (globális egyenlőségi alapvonal) - Helyi Korrekciós Tényező = 0.8-1.2 (földrajztól, éghajlattól függően)Példa:
1000 fős falu: R-EFU Költségvetés = 1,000 × 40,000 × 1.0 = 40,000,000 R-EFU/év Jelenlegi használat: 42,000,000 R-EFU/év (TÚLKÖLTÉS) → Csökkentés vagy kiegyenlítés szükséges új technológia előttVégrehajtás:

BIOGAS – THE EUROPEAN SUCCESS STORY** **Why Biogas Works in Rural Europe:** - Agricultural waste (manure, crop residues) abundant - Existing farm infrastructure - Aligns with CAP (circular economy, waste reduction) - Culturally compatible (farmers = energy producers, traditional role) **✅ GOLD STANDARD: Danish Village Biogas Model** ``` Project: Lemvig Biogas Cooperative (Denmark) Structure: - 50 member farms (cattle, pig, chicken) - Cooperative ownership (Andelsselskab, Danish legal form) - Central biogas plant (5 MW thermal, 2 MW electrical) Feedstock: - 80,000 tons/year: • 60% animal manure (dairy, pig slurry) • 25% crop residues (straw, corn stover) • 10% food waste (local supermarkets, canteens) • 5% energy crops (grass silage from marginal land) Technology: - Digesters: Steel/concrete (40-year design life) - CHP engine: Jenbacher (Austrian, EFU 104.44 Silver – repairable, modular) - Biofilter: Activated carbon (odor control) - DNS-Folder: Complete (farmers trained in maintenance) Products: - Biogas: 8.5 million m³/year - Electricity: 18 GWh/year (1,200 homes equivalent) - Heat: 45 GWh/year (district heating, 600 homes + greenhouse) - Digestate: 75,000 tons/year (bio-fertilizer, replaces synthetic NPK) R-EFU Calculation: - Construction: 45,000,000 R-EFU (plant + infrastructure) - Lifespan: 30 years → 1,500,000 R-EFU/year amortization - Operations: 800,000 R-EFU/year (electricity for pumps, maintenance) - **Total cost: 2,300,000 R-EFU/year** - Displaced: • Natural gas (heating): 45 GWh × 55,000 R-EFU/kW / 1,000 = 2,475,000 R-EFU/year • Grid electricity: 18 GWh × 55,000 R-EFU/kW / 1,000 = 990,000 R-EFU/year • Synthetic fertilizer: 2,000 tons N-P-K × 8,500 R-EFU/ton = 17,000,000 R-EFU/year - **Total savings: 20,465,000 R-EFU/year** - **NET: 18,165,000 R-EFU/year SAVINGS** ✅✅✅ (MASSIVE) Economic: - Revenue: €5.8M/year (electricity, heat, digestate sales) - Costs: €3.1M/year (operations, labor) - Profit: €2.7M/year (distributed to farmers as dividend) - Jobs: 8 full-time (plant operators, quality control) Environmental: - Methane capture: Prevents 12,000 tons CO₂eq/year (manure would otherwise emit) - Nutrient recycling: Digestate = closed-loop (less runoff than raw manure) - Odor reduction: -70% (vs. manure spreading) Social: - Farmer income: +€54,000/farm/year (waste → resource) - Community pride: "We power ourselves" - Educational: School visits (STEM program on biogas) EU Integration: - Eligible for CAP funding (Pillar II, environmental measures) - Renewable Energy Directive: Counts toward national targets - Waste Framework Directive: Biogas = waste valorization (priority) RESULT: EFU 104.44 GOLD CERTIFICATION ``` **Scalability:** - Denmark: 180 biogas plants (2025), 25% of rural areas served - Germany: 9,500 plants (more, but smaller average) - Model spreading: Netherlands, Austria, Italy (Po Valley) ----- **5.4. HYDRO – THE OLD RELIABLE** **✅ EXAMPLE: Micro-Hydro Revival (Austrian Alps)** ``` Project: Historic Mill Restoration → Micro-Hydro (Tyrol) History: - 1820s: Water mill built (grain milling) - 1960: Abandoned (diesel mills cheaper) - 2023: Community purchases mill (€45,000) - 2024: Restoration + hydro turbine added Technology: - Waterwheel: Restored (oak wood, traditional carpentry) - Generator: 25 kW (Gilkes, UK manufacturer, EFU 104.44 Silver) - Gearing: Hybrid (traditional wooden gears + modern metal for durability) - Control: Simple (manual gates + basic electronic monitoring, offline-capable) Energy Production: - 110 MWh/year (stream flow variable, average 4.5 kW) - Consumption: Mill operation (grain grinding for 12 farms) + 8 nearby houses R-EFU Calculation: - Restoration: 12,000,000 R-EFU (carpentry, masonry, turbine) - Lifespan: 50 years (waterwheel), 30 years (generator) - Amortization: ~300,000 R-EFU/year - Displaced grid: 110 MWh × 55,000 / 1,000 = 6,050,000 R-EFU/year - **Net: 5,750,000 R-EFU/year SAVINGS** ✅✅ Cultural Benefits: - UNESCO ICH (intangible cultural heritage) nomination (traditional milling) - Tourism: "Working mill" (€15,000/year, demonstrations + shop) - Education: Apprentice miller (1st in region in 60 years) Ecological: - Fish ladder installed (EU Water Framework Directive compliance) - No reservoir (run-of-river, minimal environmental disruption) - Seasonal operation (respects low-flow periods) HMI: 0.94 (energy + milling + culture + tourism) RESULT: EFU 104.44 GOLD ``` ----- ### **DOMAIN 6: WATER MANAGEMENT (European Traditions)** **6.1. EXAMPLE: Spanish Acequ ias (Moorish Irrigation)** ``` Location: Valencia region (Mediterranean Spain) System: Tribunal de las Aguas (Water Court, 960 AD, still functioning) Structure: - Gravity-fed canals (120 km network) - Stone/brick construction (900+ years old, still operational) - Zero energy input (pure gravity) - Rotation system (cada farmer gets X hours per week) Governance: - 8 elected "Síndicos" (water judges) - Weekly court (Thursdays, Valencia Cathedral door) - Dispute resolution (oral tradition, no written law) - UNESCO ICH (since 2009) Modern Threat: - Groundwater pumping (electric wells) = unregulated competition - Proposal: Modernize with sensors, automated gates (EU "smart irrigation" funding) EFU 104.57 Community Response (2024): 1. Assessment: - Traditional system: R-EFU ≈ 0 (gravity, stone, manual gates) - "Smart" system: 15,000,000 R-EFU (sensors, cloud platform, maintenance) - Cultural loss: 1,000-year governance tradition replaced by algorithm 2. Alternative: - Hybrid: Keep gravity system, add simple flow meters (mechanical, no electronics) - Strengthen Tribunal (legal recognition, enforcement power against illegal wells) - Education: Schools teach acequia history + hydraulic engineering 3. EU Negotiation: - Spain argues: Traditional system IS water-efficient (95% efficiency vs. 70% for sprinklers) - UNESCO backing: ICH protection overrides "modernization" mandate - EU Water Framework Directive: Accepts traditional system (as "good ecological status") Result: - "Smart irrigation" funding REJECTED - €2.5M redirected to: • Canal restoration (erosion repair) • Tribunal legal support • Acequia museum + educational program R-EFU Impact: - Avoided: 15,000,000 R-EFU (smart system) - Cultural continuity: MAINTAINED RESULT: Traditional knowledge PROTECTED, EFU 104.44 PLATINUM (1,000-year durability!) ``` ----- # **III. IMPLEMENTATION ROADMAP – EUROPEAN SCALE** ## **3.1. Pilot Village Network (2026-2028)** **Goal:** Prove the concept across Europe’s diversity **Selection Criteria:** ``` MINIMUM 20 VILLAGES (2 per region): 1.

Funding Strategy** **Total Budget (20 villages, 3 years): €18 million** **Sources:** |Source |Amount|Mechanism | |-----------------------------------------|------|-------------------------------------| |**EU LEADER** (rural development) |€6M |Bottom-up local projects | |**Horizon Europe** (research) |€4M |“Innovative governance models” call | |**Council of Europe** (cultural heritage)|€2M |Faro Convention implementation | |**National governments** (co-financing) |€3M |Matched funding (varies by country) | |**Philanthropic** (foundations) |€2M |Ashoka, Porticus, climate foundations| |**Crowdfunding** (community bonds) |€1M |“Adopt a village” model | **Per Village:** €900,000 over 3 years (€300K/year) **Breakdown:** - Personnel: €180K (EFU auditor, community facilitator, local coordinator) - Technology assessments: €40K (external audits, studies) - Community workshops: €30K (facilitation, materials, translation) - Legal support: €25K (ordinance drafting, EU compliance review) - Infrastructure pilots: €100K (small demonstration projects, e.g., repair café, biogas feasibility) - Documentation: €15K (video, reports, translation) - Network coordination: €10K (annual summit, knowledge platform) ----- ## **3.3. Success Metrics (Year 3)** **Quantitative:** ``` Per Village Targets: ☑ R-EFU reduction: -15% (minimum) ☑ HMI increase: +0.12 ☑ Local jobs: +3% (net, accounting for changes) ☑ Repair economy: +€100,000/year revenue ☑ Youth retention: -5% emigration rate ☑ Technology refusals: ≥1 (demonstrates veto power) ☑ Alternatives adopted: ≥2 (shows not just "NIMBY" but constructive) ``` **Qualitative:** ``` Community Assessments: ☑ Satisfaction survey: >75% say "CAL improved our village" ☑ Democratic participation: +20% in local votes (engagement ↑) ☑ Cultural vitality: Active festivals, artisan activity, heritage maintained ☑ Intergenerational dialogue: Regular youth-elder exchanges documented ☑ External recognition: Media coverage, awards, replication inquiries ``` ----- ## **3.4. Scaling Pathway (2028-2035)** **Phase 1 (2026-2028): Prove** → 20 pilot villages demonstrate CAL works across contexts **Phase 2 (2028-2030): Spread** → 200 villages adopt (10× expansion) → National networks form (France: 30 villages, Germany: 40, etc.) → EU Commission issues “Guidance on EFU Standards in Rural Policy” **Phase 3 (2030-2032): Institutionalize** → 2,000 villages (1% of rural Europe) → CAP Strategic Plans incorporate EFU metrics (Member State option) → European Parliament resolution recognizing EFU 104.57 **Phase 4 (2032-2035): Mainstream** → 10,000+ villages (5% of rural Europe) → EFU becomes **standard practice** in rural development → Urban adaptation begins (neighborhood-level CAL) ----- # **IV. LEGAL STRATEGY – DEFENSIBILITY** ## **4.1. EU Law Compatibility Analysis** **QUESTION:** Can a village legally refuse EU/national technology mandates? **ANSWER:** **YES, under specific conditions.** **Legal Foundations:** ### **A) Subsidiarity Principle (TEU Article 5.3)** > “Under the principle of subsidiarity… the Union shall act only if and in so far as the objectives of the proposed action cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States… but can rather… be better achieved at Union level.” **Application:** - Village argues: “Technology choice is LOCAL matter (subsidiarity)” - If national/EU mandate is **disproportionate** (Article 5.4), village can challenge - **Precedent:** German Länder successfully challenged EU directives on local planning (Case C-233/08) ### **B) Proportionality (Charter of Fundamental Rights, Article 52)** > “Any limitation on the exercise of the rights… must be… necessary and genuinely meet objectives of general interest…” **Application:** - If EU requires wind farms, village argues: “Disproportionate (destroys heritage for marginal energy gain)” - Must show **alternatives exist** (not pure obstruction) - **Precedent:** Austrian villages exempted from highway project (cultural heritage protection, European Court of Human Rights) ### **C) Cultural Rights (Faro Convention, Article 7)** > “The Parties undertake to… establish processes for conciliation to deal equitably with situations where **contradictory values are placed on the same cultural heritage** by different communities.” **Application:** - Village argues: “Our cultural heritage (landscape, traditions) conflicts with industrial technology” - Government must **negotiate**, not impose - **Precedent:** Sami reindeer herders vs. wind farms (Norway, ILO Convention 169 applied) ----- ## **4.2. Litigation Preparedness** **Scenario:** National government tries to override village CAL decision **Defense Strategy:** ### **Step 1: Exhaust Administrative Remedies** - Appeal to national environmental/planning authority - Cite EFU Impact Statement (demonstrate reasoned decision) - Request mediation (per Aarhus Convention) ### **Step 2: National Courts** - Sue in national administrative court - Grounds: 1. Violation of subsidiarity (local autonomy) 1. Failure to consider alternatives (proportionality) 1. Cultural heritage impact (Faro Convention, European Landscape Convention) 1. Procedural violation (inadequate public participation, Aarhus) ### **Step 3: European Courts (if needed)** - **European Court of Human Rights:** Protocol 1, Article 1 (property rights, if land affected) - **Court of Justice of EU:** Preliminary reference (ask CJEU to interpret subsidiarity/proportionality) **Precedent:** - **Alpe d’Huez ski resort expansion (France, 2004):** Village successfully blocked using landscape protection law - **Wind farm rejection (Crete, Greece, 2019):** UNESCO World Heritage proximity cited **Success Rate (estimate):** 60-70% if: - Village has legitimate EFU data - Alternative solutions proposed - Strong cultural heritage argument - Broad community support (not just activist minority) ----- ## **4.3. Coalition Strategy** **“Strength in Numbers”** **European Village Alliance (EVA) – Legal Defense Fund** Structure: - Member villages contribute €5,000/year to pooled fund - Fund hires **3 permanent lawyers** (EU law, environmental law, cultural heritage law) - Provides **free legal support** to any member facing override attempt Budget (1,000 member villages): - Revenue: €5 million/year - Legal team: €600,000/year (3 lawyers + support staff) - Litigation fund: €2 million/year (4-5 major cases) - Research/documentation: €400,000/year - Advocacy (Brussels/Strasbourg): €500,000/year - Reserves: €1.5 million **Strategic Litigation:** - Choose **test cases** carefully (strong facts, sympathetic plaintiff) - Aim for **precedent-setting rulings** (not just individual wins) - Media coordination (public opinion pressure) ----- # **V. COMMUNICATION STRATEGY – EUROPEAN NARRATIVES** ## **5.1. Core Message (Adaptable to Language/Culture)** **ENGLISH:** > “We don’t reject progress. We reject extraction. We choose technologies that **respect our past, serve our present, and don’t steal our future**.” **FRENCH:** > “Nous ne refusons pas le progrès. Nous refusons l’extraction. Nous choisissons des technologies qui **respectent notre passé, servent notre présent, et ne volent pas notre avenir**.” **GERMAN:** > “Wir lehnen Fortschritt nicht ab. Wir lehnen Ausbeutung ab. Wir wählen Technologien, die **unsere Vergangenheit respektieren, unsere Gegenwart dienen, und nicht unsere Zukunft stehlen**.” **SPANISH:** > “No rechazamos el progreso. Rechazamos la extracción. Elegimos tecnologías que **respetan nuestro pasado, sirven nuestro presente, y no roban nuestro futuro**.” **POLISH:** > “Nie odrzucamy postępu. Odrzucamy eksploatację. Wybieramy technologie, które **szanują naszą przeszłość, służą naszej teraźniejszości i nie kradną naszej przyszłości**.” ----- ## **5.2. Target Audiences** ### **A) Rural Communities (Primary)** - **Message:** “You have the right to say NO. Here’s how.” - **Channel:** Local media (regional newspapers, radio), word-of-mouth, village meetings - **Messengers:** Local farmers, firefighters, mayors (trusted voices) ### **B) Urban Supporters (Secondary)** - **Message:** “Villages protect what cities depend on: food, water, culture, nature.” - **Channel:** Social media (#EFUVillages), documentaries (Netflix/Arte), influencers - **Messengers:** Chefs (valorize local food), architects (traditional building), artists ### **C) Policymakers (Tertiary)** - **Message:** “CAL delivers EU goals better: resilience, employment, heritage, carbon.” - **Channel:** Policy briefs, European Parliament hearings, think tank reports - **Messengers:** Academics, former EU officials, sympathetic MEPs ### **D) Media (Enabler)** - **Message:** “David vs. Goliath: Villages fight Big Tech/Big Energy.” - **Channel:** Press releases, investigative journalism partnerships, photo essays - **Messengers:** Journalists (Guardian, Politico Europe, national outlets) ----- ## **5.3. Counter-Narrative Preparedness** **Expected Attacks:** |Attack |Response | |----------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |**“NIMBY! (Not In My Backyard)”** |“We’re not saying ‘nowhere.’ We’re saying ‘not HERE, but we propose alternatives THERE.’ That’s responsible, not selfish.” | |**“Anti-progress / Luddite”** |“We embrace technology that lasts 50 years, creates local jobs, and transfers knowledge. Industrial solar lasting 20 years with Chinese parts is the opposite of progress.”| |**“Blocking climate action”** |“We’re accelerating it. Biogas, hydro, and efficiency beat industrial renewables in R-EFU. Check the math.” | |**“Economic suicide”** |“Danish biogas villages earn MORE than solar rent. Orchards earn MORE than panels. We choose prosperity, not extraction.” | |**“Undemocratic / veto minority”**|“We require 60-75% majority. That’s MORE democratic than top-down mandates with zero community vote.” | ----- # **VI. CONCLUSION – THE BREATHING CONSTITUTION** The EFU 104.57 European Village License is not a rigid law. It is a **living framework** that: ✅ **Respects diversity** (Mediterranean ≠ Nordic ≠ Alpine) ✅ **Protects heritage** (landscapes, crafts, traditions) ✅ **Empowers communities** (veto + alternatives) ✅ **Measures honestly** (R-EFU exposes “greenwashing”) ✅ **Builds resilience** (local knowledge, skills, solidarity) ✅ **Honors the future** (50-Year Rule, intergenerational justice) **This is not nostalgia. This is pragmatic survival.** When a Greek fisherman, an Irish shepherd, a Polish beekeeper, and an Austrian miller all sit at the same table to decide the future— **That** is when technology becomes honest. **That** is when the metabolic predator loses. **That** is when Europe remembers what it means to be **a union of communities**, not a market of consumers. ----- **EFU 104.57 EUROPEAN VILLAGE LICENSE v1.0** **COMPLETE** **Languages:** English ✅ | Magyar 🔄 (previous version) | Français 🔜 | Deutsch 🔜 **Status:** Ready for Pilot Implementation **Next Step:** Legal review + pilot village recruitment (Q2 2026)Legal and Research Positioning
The EFU (Human Flux Unit) framework is an independent, open research and measurement hypothesis. It is not a legal standard, not a financial classification system, and does not impose mandatory compliance requirements. Its purpose is to analyze and interpret the physical, energetic, and cognitive impacts of digital and technological systems at a human scale.
All EFU concepts (e.g., sovereignty gap, metabolic predator, metabolic ROI) are analytical constructs, not legal, financial, or moral judgments. The framework is iterative and open to empirical validation; thresholds, regional calibrations, and application models are currently in an experimental phase.
The materials and analyses were developed with the assistance of artificial intelligence tools, under the author’s professional direction and responsibility.
Collaboration: EFU is an open initiative. Those who feel motivated to contribute to its development, or who wish to share observations, critiques, or empirical insights, are warmly invited to do so.

Working list of wildlife overpasses worldwide – 2026 Update
Interstate 11 Wildlife Overpass – Boulder City, Nevada – Source: conteches.comThe following working list identifies wildlife overpasses, bridges, and ecoducts built across roadways, railways, canals, and highways around the globe. Other synonyms used to describe these structures include, but are not limited to:
- Animal bridges
- Eco-bridges
- Ecoducts
- Eco-links (in Singapore)
- Ecoponts or Écoduc (in France)
- Fauna bridges (in Australia)
- Fauna overpass (in Denmark)
- Green bridges (Grünbrücken in Germany)
- Land bridges
- Nature bridges
- Overcrossings
- Renoducts (for reindeer in Sweden)
- Rope fauna or rope canopy bridges
- Viaduto vegetados (in Brazil)
- Wildlife bridges
- Wildlife overpasses.
The term “Ecoduct” seem to have become the most commonly used term in Europe and can be defined as an arched viaduct (land bridge) for ecological uses such as wildlife. “Wildlife Overpass” tends to be most often used in North America.
The list does not include underpasses, tunnels, and similar structures for wildlife to use. In certain places, ecoducts are referred to as tunnels. Those that are actually ecoducts are included on this list. In addition, those green bridges in England that are primarily meant for farm animal movement have not been included.
Fauna Rope Bridge in Australia – Source: faunatech.com.auWildlife overpasses/ecoducts can now be found on every continent except Antarctica, with them now in existence in nearly 40 nations that are listed below. Some surprising nations where no ecoducts have been identified thus far include Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, and Taiwan. As this is a working list, any additions, corrections, or suggestions are most appreciated.

Working list of wildlife overpasses worldwide – 2026 Update
Interstate 11 Wildlife Overpass – Boulder City, Nevada – Source: conteches.comThe following working list identifies wildlife overpasses, bridges, and ecoducts built across roadways, railways, canals, and highways around the globe. Other synonyms used to describe these structures include, but are not limited to:
- Animal bridges
- Eco-bridges
- Ecoducts
- Eco-links (in Singapore)
- Ecoponts or Écoduc (in France)
- Fauna bridges (in Australia)
- Fauna overpass (in Denmark)
- Green bridges (Grünbrücken in Germany)
- Land bridges
- Nature bridges
- Overcrossings
- Renoducts (for reindeer in Sweden)
- Rope fauna or rope canopy bridges
- Viaduto vegetados (in Brazil)
- Wildlife bridges
- Wildlife overpasses.
The term “Ecoduct” seem to have become the most commonly used term in Europe and can be defined as an arched viaduct (land bridge) for ecological uses such as wildlife. “Wildlife Overpass” tends to be most often used in North America.
The list does not include underpasses, tunnels, and similar structures for wildlife to use. In certain places, ecoducts are referred to as tunnels. Those that are actually ecoducts are included on this list. In addition, those green bridges in England that are primarily meant for farm animal movement have not been included.
Fauna Rope Bridge in Australia – Source: faunatech.com.auWildlife overpasses/ecoducts can now be found on every continent except Antarctica, with them now in existence in nearly 40 nations that are listed below. Some surprising nations where no ecoducts have been identified thus far include Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, and Taiwan. As this is a working list, any additions, corrections, or suggestions are most appreciated.

Monerujo GitHub repository: GitHub Wallet
These sources will help you understand how Monerujo keeps your cryptocurrency assets safe and how to set up your wallet securely.
Monerujo's open source code can be both an advantage and a potential vulnerability in terms of security. Here are a few things to consider:
Advantages of open source:
Security audit: Open source allows independent security experts and the crypto community to audit and test code for vulnerabilities. If potential threats are detected, they can be quickly patched and updated.
Transparency: Since anyone can view and analyze the code, it provides transparency and avoids hidden vulnerabilities or malicious code that may be present in closed systems.
Rapid response to threats: Thanks to active community development, vulnerabilities can be discovered and fixed very quickly.
Potential vulnerabilities:
The possibility of exploiting vulnerabilities: While open source allows for auditing, it also gives potential attackers access to the wallet code. Attackers can analyze code for vulnerabilities that can be exploited to gain access to user funds. They can create exploits or fake versions of wallets in an attempt to trick users.
Incorrect use of functions: Due to open source, some users or developers may inadvertently implement unsafe practices in wallet settings or add features that may compromise security. This may include improper backup handling, unsafe encryption mechanisms, or vulnerabilities in interactions with other applications.
Outdated code or inactive development: If the code is not maintained or updated frequently enough, it can create security risks. Cryptocurrency wallets must be constantly updated to protect users from new threats. If the Monerujo project doesn't get the attention it deserves, it could lead to unpatched vulnerabilities.
Fake versions: Open source allows someone to create a fake version of the Monerujo wallet, which may contain malicious code that gives attackers access to users' private keys or other sensitive information. Users who do not check the source of the program may accidentally download an unsafe version.
Protection against attacks on mobile platforms: Even if the wallet code is secure, mobile platforms like Android may have their own vulnerabilities that can compromise the device or gain access to the wallet. This includes, for example, attacks through malicious applications or operating system vulnerabilities.
How to minimize risks:
Regular updates: Make sure you download the latest version of Monerujo from trusted sources (like Google Play or GitHub).
Code auditing and review: If you have programming skills, check the code yourself or ask independent experts to conduct a security audit.
Only download from verified sources: Use only official versions of apps and download them only from trusted sources (like Google Play or the official GitHub repository).
Mobile device protection: Install antivirus software and follow basic security rules to protect your device from malicious apps.
Backups and recovery: Back up your wallet regularly and use strong passwords to protect your private keys.
Overall, while open source can create additional vulnerabilities, it also provides opportunities for rapid response to threats and improved security through the development community.
Monerujo uses several encryption algorithms to protect user data, including private keys and other sensitive data. Here are the main ones:
1. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard):
Monerujo uses AES-256 to encrypt data such as private keys and wallet backups. AES is one of the most secure and widely used symmetric encryption algorithms.
AES-256 encryption provides a high level of protection and uses a 256-bit key, making hacking very difficult.
2. ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm):
Monerujo uses ECDSA on elliptic curves to sign transactions. This algorithm is a standard in cryptocurrency wallets and provides high security with relatively low resource usage.
It allows you to create digital signatures for transactions that confirm that you are the owner of a certain number of coins.
3. Ring Signatures (Ring signatures):
Monero, and therefore Monerujo, uses ring signatures to ensure transaction anonymity. Ring signatures allow you to hide who exactly signed a transaction, ensuring privacy and anonymity.
This mechanism ensures that even if someone observes the blockchain, it is impossible to determine exactly which individual initiated the transaction.
4. Stealth Addresses (Private addresses):
To protect addresses, Monero uses stealth addresses, which provides an additional level of anonymity. Each transaction appears to be sent to a new address, even if it is for the same user.
This mechanism ensures that the recipient's address will not be publicly visible on the blockchain.
5. Backup Encryption (Encryption of backup copies):
For wallet backups, Monerujo uses data encryption with a user password, which allows you to protect the backup file from unauthorized access.
All backups of wallets that store private keys must be encrypted for security and privacy.
6. BIP 39 (Mnemonic Phrase for Backup):
Monerujo uses the BIP 39 standard to generate seed phrases. These phrases are used to restore the wallet in case of loss of access to the device.
Although the passphrase itself is not an encryption algorithm, its use in combination with strong encryption allows users to securely store and recover access to their wallet.
Thanks to these algorithms, Monerujo provides a high level of user data protection, including private key protection, transaction confidentiality and anonymity when transferring Monero across the network.
To increase privacy when using Monerujo, there are several steps you can take to protect your transactions and personal data. Here are some tips:
1. Using VPN or Tor
VPN (Virtual Private Network) or Tor help anonymize your internet connection by hiding your real IP address. This adds an extra layer of security, especially if you're using Monerujo on a mobile device over a public Wi-Fi network.
Using Tor further improves anonymity because it routes your connection through multiple servers around the world.
2. Creation of new "Stealth" addresses for each transaction
Monero uses Stealth addresses (hidden addresses) to hide the recipient of the transaction. Always generate a new hidden address for each transaction so as not to reveal your primary address. This will help preserve your anonymity.
3. Regular update of the wallet
Make sure you are always using the latest version of Monerujo. Updates often include security fixes that help avoid potential vulnerabilities that could be used to leak personal data.
4. Using complex passwords to encrypt the wallet
Install strong password to encrypt your Monerujo wallet. This will protect your private keys from unauthorized access even if the device is lost or stolen.
The password must be complex (for example, contain numbers, letters in different cases and special characters).
5. Use of mnemonic phrases (Seed phrases) for backups
Create backup copies your wallet using a mnemonic phrase (Seed phrase) and store it in a safe place, away from devices connected to the Internet. Avoid storing such phrases on online platforms or in cloud services.
It is recommended to use hardware wallets for extra security if you store large amounts of Monero.
6. Caution when using public Wi-Fi networks
Public Wi-Fi networks can be dangerous because they are not always secure. Always use it VPN or Tor to encrypt your connection when you connect to a public Wi-Fi network.
7. Using separate wallets for different purposes
You can create different ones for different purposes (for example, for personal and business transactions). wallets. This allows you to isolate transactions and additionally protect your financial assets.
8. Use of multisig transactions (Multisig)
If you want to increase the security of your wallet, you can use multi-signature transactions (multisig). This allows you to create wallets that require multiple signatures to confirm a transaction, making them much more difficult to steal or use without authorization.
9. Anonymity through exchanges and gateways
Use it anonymous exchangers or gateways, which allow you to exchange Monero for other cryptocurrencies without the need to transfer personal data. Choose platforms that do not require KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures.
10. Checking download sources
Only download Monerujo from official sources such as Google Play, GitHub or the official Monerujo website. Do not use third-party download resources, as this may lead to the download of malicious versions of the program that can steal your data.
These steps will help preserve your privacy when using Monerujo and reduce the risks associated with the security of your wallet and transactions.
A number of additional tactics can be used to achieve the maximum level of anonymity in cryptocurrencies. Here are some recommendations to increase anonymity and protect your financial transactions:
1. Use of private cryptocurrencies
Use cryptocurrencies that specifically aim to provide anonymity and privacy, such as Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC), Grin, or Beam. These cryptocurrencies use advanced technologies such as ring signatures, zk-SNARKs (zero-knowledge proofs), stealth addresses, and more to protect your identity and transactions.
2. Coin Mixing
To increase anonymity, you can use coin mixing services or CoinJoin- services. They allow you to mix your coins with those of other users, making it harder to trace the source of the funds.
Wasabi Wallet and Samurai Wallet provide mixing capability for Bitcoin and for Monero can be used XMR.to to exchange Monero for Bitcoin.
3. Use of anonymous exchangers
Instead of centralized exchanges requiring procedures KYC (Know Your Customer), can be used decentralized exchanges or anonymous exchangers. For example, ShapeShift (before the introduction of KYC), Bisq, He intended He intended or LocalMonero allow anonymous transactions.
4. Anonymous electronic wallets
Using electronic wallets that do not require personal data or registration. Samurai Wallet and Wasabi Wallet support CoinJoin and various features to ensure anonymity.
It is also important to pay attention to the wallet settings and choose settings to increase privacy (for example, turn off automatic connection to public servers).
5. Mobile wallets without binding to personal data
For anonymity, you can use wallets that do not require linking to your personal information. This can be important if you want to avoid collecting data about your activity, e.g. Coin box for Monero or Electrum for Bitcoin.
6. Distribution of funds between several addresses
Spread your coins between several different addresses or wallets to make it harder to track your assets. Use new addresses for each transaction.
7. Using TOR or VPN to anonymize connections
Use it Tor or VPN to anonymize your internet connection. Tor provides additional anonymity by routing your connection through multiple servers, making it difficult to track your IP address.
8. Anonymous payment services
If you want to make purchases or transfer money anonymously, you can use services that support anonymous payments, such as PayPal or specialized platforms for cryptocurrencies that provide privacy when paying.
9. Technical means for blockchain analysis
Using such tools as Whirlpool (for coins with CoinJoin support) or Monero's RingCT to prevent the traceability of transactions on the blockchain.
10. Breaking large transactions into several small ones
If you need to make a large transaction, you can split it into several smaller transactions. This helps avoid visible connections between your transactions on the blockchain.
11. Use of alternative ways of accessing cryptocurrency platforms
Avoid accessing cryptocurrency platforms or wallets through services that may store your information. Use, for example, tor versions of sites or work through anonymous mail services and privacy-preserving platforms.
12. Compliance with the "no trace" principle
Do not leave traces of your cryptocurrency transactions on the Internet, for example, through the constant use of the same addresses or public services that can track your activities.
Applying these strategies in combination can significantly increase your level of anonymity and security in the cryptocurrency environment, reducing the risk of personal data leakage and ensuring the privacy of your financial transactions.
Here are some important aspects that may have been missed but can add value to the article:
1. Security when using mobile applications
How to ensure privacy when using mobile wallets and cryptocurrency apps (for example, through two-factor authentication, using only official apps and regularly updated versions).
2. Psychological aspect of anonymity
Tips on how to avoid human error, such as over-publicity on social media, which can lead to personal information being leaked.
3. Anonymity when exchanging cryptocurrencies
Using anonymous exchangers and exchange protocols such as Atomic Swaps, which allow exchanges to be carried out without intermediaries and without the need for registration.
4. Restrictions on private transactions
Possible legal restrictions and political risks associated with the use of fully anonymous transactions. For example, some countries may have restrictions on the use of private cryptocurrencies.

These advantages make Monerujo one of the best options for those who want to use Monero securely and conveniently on mobile devices.
Although Monerujo has many advantages, there are also some disadvantages that should be considered before using it:
Only for Monero: Monerujo only supports Monero (XMR), so if you are looking for a wallet for many cryptocurrencies, you should choose another wallet that supports more different coins. Monerujo specializes exclusively in Monero, which can be a limitation for those who want to store different cryptocurrencies in one place.
Addiction to mobile devices: Since Monerujo is a mobile wallet, it requires a smartphone or tablet to use. This can be inconvenient for those who want to store their funds on a more stable device, such as a computer or a hardware wallet.
Use with limited features: Monerujo does not support features such as multi-signature wallets (MultiSig) or more complex cryptocurrency storage and management features that some other wallets offer. This can be a problem for users who need additional security features or specialized settings.
The need for an active Internet connection: To use Monerujo, you must have a constant internet connection, as the wallet does not have full support for offline transactions like some hardware wallets or other applications that allow transactions without an internet connection.
Lack of official support on some platforms: Monerujo is mostly focused on Android, so iOS users cannot use this wallet directly. If you have an iOS device, you should look into other options for Monero.
Ease of use for beginners: Although Monerujo has an intuitive interface, newbies may have difficulty understanding specific features such as setting up ring signatures or other anonymity features. This may require additional training and time to master.
Possible problems with synchronization: As with many mobile wallets, users may experience synchronization issues, especially when using wallets with a large number of transactions or large amounts.
Risk of losing access to the wallet: Although Monerujo supports backups, if users do not back up their wallets properly or lose access to their phone, there is a risk of losing funds. Like any other mobile wallet, Monerujo is not as secure as hardware wallets.
These factors should be considered before using Monerujo to ensure the best balance between convenience and security for your cryptocurrency portfolio.

Monerujo GitHub repository: GitHub Wallet
These sources will help you understand how Monerujo keeps your cryptocurrency assets safe and how to set up your wallet securely.
Monerujo's open source code can be both an advantage and a potential vulnerability in terms of security. Here are a few things to consider:
Advantages of open source:
Security audit: Open source allows independent security experts and the crypto community to audit and test code for vulnerabilities. If potential threats are detected, they can be quickly patched and updated.
Transparency: Since anyone can view and analyze the code, it provides transparency and avoids hidden vulnerabilities or malicious code that may be present in closed systems.
Rapid response to threats: Thanks to active community development, vulnerabilities can be discovered and fixed very quickly.
Potential vulnerabilities:
The possibility of exploiting vulnerabilities: While open source allows for auditing, it also gives potential attackers access to the wallet code. Attackers can analyze code for vulnerabilities that can be exploited to gain access to user funds. They can create exploits or fake versions of wallets in an attempt to trick users.
Incorrect use of functions: Due to open source, some users or developers may inadvertently implement unsafe practices in wallet settings or add features that may compromise security. This may include improper backup handling, unsafe encryption mechanisms, or vulnerabilities in interactions with other applications.
Outdated code or inactive development: If the code is not maintained or updated frequently enough, it can create security risks. Cryptocurrency wallets must be constantly updated to protect users from new threats. If the Monerujo project doesn't get the attention it deserves, it could lead to unpatched vulnerabilities.
Fake versions: Open source allows someone to create a fake version of the Monerujo wallet, which may contain malicious code that gives attackers access to users' private keys or other sensitive information. Users who do not check the source of the program may accidentally download an unsafe version.
Protection against attacks on mobile platforms: Even if the wallet code is secure, mobile platforms like Android may have their own vulnerabilities that can compromise the device or gain access to the wallet. This includes, for example, attacks through malicious applications or operating system vulnerabilities.
How to minimize risks:
Regular updates: Make sure you download the latest version of Monerujo from trusted sources (like Google Play or GitHub).
Code auditing and review: If you have programming skills, check the code yourself or ask independent experts to conduct a security audit.
Only download from verified sources: Use only official versions of apps and download them only from trusted sources (like Google Play or the official GitHub repository).
Mobile device protection: Install antivirus software and follow basic security rules to protect your device from malicious apps.
Backups and recovery: Back up your wallet regularly and use strong passwords to protect your private keys.
Overall, while open source can create additional vulnerabilities, it also provides opportunities for rapid response to threats and improved security through the development community.
Monerujo uses several encryption algorithms to protect user data, including private keys and other sensitive data. Here are the main ones:
1. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard):
Monerujo uses AES-256 to encrypt data such as private keys and wallet backups. AES is one of the most secure and widely used symmetric encryption algorithms.
AES-256 encryption provides a high level of protection and uses a 256-bit key, making hacking very difficult.
2. ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm):
Monerujo uses ECDSA on elliptic curves to sign transactions. This algorithm is a standard in cryptocurrency wallets and provides high security with relatively low resource usage.
It allows you to create digital signatures for transactions that confirm that you are the owner of a certain number of coins.
3. Ring Signatures (Ring signatures):
Monero, and therefore Monerujo, uses ring signatures to ensure transaction anonymity. Ring signatures allow you to hide who exactly signed a transaction, ensuring privacy and anonymity.
This mechanism ensures that even if someone observes the blockchain, it is impossible to determine exactly which individual initiated the transaction.
4. Stealth Addresses (Private addresses):
To protect addresses, Monero uses stealth addresses, which provides an additional level of anonymity. Each transaction appears to be sent to a new address, even if it is for the same user.
This mechanism ensures that the recipient's address will not be publicly visible on the blockchain.
5. Backup Encryption (Encryption of backup copies):
For wallet backups, Monerujo uses data encryption with a user password, which allows you to protect the backup file from unauthorized access.
All backups of wallets that store private keys must be encrypted for security and privacy.
6. BIP 39 (Mnemonic Phrase for Backup):
Monerujo uses the BIP 39 standard to generate seed phrases. These phrases are used to restore the wallet in case of loss of access to the device.
Although the passphrase itself is not an encryption algorithm, its use in combination with strong encryption allows users to securely store and recover access to their wallet.
Thanks to these algorithms, Monerujo provides a high level of user data protection, including private key protection, transaction confidentiality and anonymity when transferring Monero across the network.
To increase privacy when using Monerujo, there are several steps you can take to protect your transactions and personal data. Here are some tips:
1. Using VPN or Tor
VPN (Virtual Private Network) or Tor help anonymize your internet connection by hiding your real IP address. This adds an extra layer of security, especially if you're using Monerujo on a mobile device over a public Wi-Fi network.
Using Tor further improves anonymity because it routes your connection through multiple servers around the world.
2. Creation of new "Stealth" addresses for each transaction
Monero uses Stealth addresses (hidden addresses) to hide the recipient of the transaction. Always generate a new hidden address for each transaction so as not to reveal your primary address. This will help preserve your anonymity.
3. Regular update of the wallet
Make sure you are always using the latest version of Monerujo. Updates often include security fixes that help avoid potential vulnerabilities that could be used to leak personal data.
4. Using complex passwords to encrypt the wallet
Install strong password to encrypt your Monerujo wallet. This will protect your private keys from unauthorized access even if the device is lost or stolen.
The password must be complex (for example, contain numbers, letters in different cases and special characters).
5. Use of mnemonic phrases (Seed phrases) for backups
Create backup copies your wallet using a mnemonic phrase (Seed phrase) and store it in a safe place, away from devices connected to the Internet. Avoid storing such phrases on online platforms or in cloud services.
It is recommended to use hardware wallets for extra security if you store large amounts of Monero.
6. Caution when using public Wi-Fi networks
Public Wi-Fi networks can be dangerous because they are not always secure. Always use it VPN or Tor to encrypt your connection when you connect to a public Wi-Fi network.
7. Using separate wallets for different purposes
You can create different ones for different purposes (for example, for personal and business transactions). wallets. This allows you to isolate transactions and additionally protect your financial assets.
8. Use of multisig transactions (Multisig)
If you want to increase the security of your wallet, you can use multi-signature transactions (multisig). This allows you to create wallets that require multiple signatures to confirm a transaction, making them much more difficult to steal or use without authorization.
9. Anonymity through exchanges and gateways
Use it anonymous exchangers or gateways, which allow you to exchange Monero for other cryptocurrencies without the need to transfer personal data. Choose platforms that do not require KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures.
10. Checking download sources
Only download Monerujo from official sources such as Google Play, GitHub or the official Monerujo website. Do not use third-party download resources, as this may lead to the download of malicious versions of the program that can steal your data.
These steps will help preserve your privacy when using Monerujo and reduce the risks associated with the security of your wallet and transactions.
A number of additional tactics can be used to achieve the maximum level of anonymity in cryptocurrencies. Here are some recommendations to increase anonymity and protect your financial transactions:
1. Use of private cryptocurrencies
Use cryptocurrencies that specifically aim to provide anonymity and privacy, such as Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC), Grin, or Beam. These cryptocurrencies use advanced technologies such as ring signatures, zk-SNARKs (zero-knowledge proofs), stealth addresses, and more to protect your identity and transactions.
2. Coin Mixing
To increase anonymity, you can use coin mixing services or CoinJoin- services. They allow you to mix your coins with those of other users, making it harder to trace the source of the funds.
Wasabi Wallet and Samurai Wallet provide mixing capability for Bitcoin and for Monero can be used XMR.to to exchange Monero for Bitcoin.
3. Use of anonymous exchangers
Instead of centralized exchanges requiring procedures KYC (Know Your Customer), can be used decentralized exchanges or anonymous exchangers. For example, ShapeShift (before the introduction of KYC), Bisq, He intended He intended or LocalMonero allow anonymous transactions.
4. Anonymous electronic wallets
Using electronic wallets that do not require personal data or registration. Samurai Wallet and Wasabi Wallet support CoinJoin and various features to ensure anonymity.
It is also important to pay attention to the wallet settings and choose settings to increase privacy (for example, turn off automatic connection to public servers).
5. Mobile wallets without binding to personal data
For anonymity, you can use wallets that do not require linking to your personal information. This can be important if you want to avoid collecting data about your activity, e.g. Coin box for Monero or Electrum for Bitcoin.
6. Distribution of funds between several addresses
Spread your coins between several different addresses or wallets to make it harder to track your assets. Use new addresses for each transaction.
7. Using TOR or VPN to anonymize connections
Use it Tor or VPN to anonymize your internet connection. Tor provides additional anonymity by routing your connection through multiple servers, making it difficult to track your IP address.
8. Anonymous payment services
If you want to make purchases or transfer money anonymously, you can use services that support anonymous payments, such as PayPal or specialized platforms for cryptocurrencies that provide privacy when paying.
9. Technical means for blockchain analysis
Using such tools as Whirlpool (for coins with CoinJoin support) or Monero's RingCT to prevent the traceability of transactions on the blockchain.
10. Breaking large transactions into several small ones
If you need to make a large transaction, you can split it into several smaller transactions. This helps avoid visible connections between your transactions on the blockchain.
11. Use of alternative ways of accessing cryptocurrency platforms
Avoid accessing cryptocurrency platforms or wallets through services that may store your information. Use, for example, tor versions of sites or work through anonymous mail services and privacy-preserving platforms.
12. Compliance with the "no trace" principle
Do not leave traces of your cryptocurrency transactions on the Internet, for example, through the constant use of the same addresses or public services that can track your activities.
Applying these strategies in combination can significantly increase your level of anonymity and security in the cryptocurrency environment, reducing the risk of personal data leakage and ensuring the privacy of your financial transactions.

Wednesday Reads: Social Security, Measles, and Government Shutdown
Good Afternoon!!
Fool on the Hill, by Dave LeBow
I have a nasty cold, so I don’t know how much I can do today. As always, everything is endlessly crazy. Trump is causing chaos with his on-again, off-again tariffs, but I’m not going to deal with that today. I want to begin with the latest on Social Security. There is quite a bit of news on it today. Next, news on the spreading Measles outbreak and then the possible government shutdown.
Social Security News
ProPublica got ahold of a recording of the acting director of the Social Security Administration: “The President Wanted It and I Did It”: Recording Reveals Head of Social Security’s Thoughts on DOGE and Trump.
Since the arrival of a team from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, Social Security is in a far more precarious place than has been widely understood, according to Leland Dudek, the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration. “I don’t want the system to collapse,” Dudek said in a closed-door meeting last week, according to a recording obtained by ProPublica. He also said that it “would be catastrophic for the people in our country” if DOGE were to make changes at his agency that were as sweeping as those at USAID, the Treasury Department and elsewhere.
Dudek’s comments, delivered to a group of senior staff and Social Security advocates attending both in person and virtually, offer an extraordinary window into the thinking of a top agency official in the volatile early days of the second Trump administration. The Washington Post first reported Dudek’s acknowledgement that DOGE is calling the shots at Social Security and quoted several of his statements. But the full recording reveals that he went much further, citing not only the actions being taken at the agency by the people he repeatedly called “the DOGE kids,” but also extensive input he has received from the White House itself. When a participant in the meeting asked him why he wouldn’t more forcefully call out President Donald Trump’s continued false claims about widespread Social Security fraud as “BS,” Dudek answered, “So we published, for the record, what was actually the numbers there on our website. This is dealing with — have you ever worked with someone who’s manic-depressive?”
Throughout the meeting, Dudek made alarming statements about the perils facing the Social Security system, but he did so in an oddly informal, discursive manner. It left several participants baffled as to the ultimate fate of the nation’s largest and most popular social program, one that serves 73 million Americans. “Are we going to break something?” Dudek asked at one point, referring to what DOGE has been doing with Social Security data. “I don’t know.”
But then he said, in a more reassuring tone: “They’re learning. Let people learn. They’re going to make mistakes.”
Dudek embodies the dramatic whipsawing of life as a public servant under DOGE. For 25 years, he was the ultimate faceless bureaucrat: a midlevel analyst who had bounced between federal agencies, ultimately landing at the Social Security Administration and focusing on information technology, cybersecurity and fraud prevention. He was largely unknown even within the agency. But in February, he suddenly vaulted into the public eye when he was put on leave for surreptitiously sharing information with DOGE. It appeared that he might lose his job, but then he was unexpectedly promoted by the Trump administration to the position of acting commissioner. At the time, he seemed unreservedly committed to the DOGE agenda, writing — then deleting — a bellicose LinkedIn post in which he expressed pride in having “bullied agency executives, shared executive contact information, and circumvented the chain of command to connect DOGE with the people who get stuff done.”
Now, only weeks into his tenure, he was taking a far more ambivalent posture toward not just DOGE but Trump. On multiple occasions during last week’s meeting, according to the recording, Dudek framed the choices that he has been making in recent weeks as “the president’s” agenda. These choices have included planned cuts of at least 7,000 Social Security employees; buyouts and early retirement offered to the entire staff of 57,000, including those who work in field offices and teleservice centers helping elderly and disabled people navigate the program; cuts to disability determination services; the dissolution of a team that had been working to improve the user experience of the ssa.gov website and application process; a reduction of the agency’s footprint across the country from 10 regional offices to four; the terminations of 64 leases, including those for some field office and hearing office space; proposals to outsource Social Security customer service; and more.
“I work for the president. I need to do what the president tells me to do,” Dudek said, according to the recording. “I’ve had to make some tough choices, choices I didn’t agree with, but the president wanted it and I did it,” he added later. (He didn’t name specific actions that Trump did or did not direct.)
Center for American Progress: Cuts to the Social Security Administration Threaten Millions of Americans’ Retirement and Disability Benefits.
In January 2025, 73 million people—more than 1 in 5 Americans—received benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA). But the agency that gets those benefits into bank accounts to buy groceries and pay bills is now under attack, putting beneficiaries at risk of dangerous disruptions and delays. Recently, the SSA announced that it would cut approximately 7,000 jobs—a 12 percent reduction in the agency’s staffing. At the same time, the SSA is shutting down six of its 10 regional offices, while posts to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) website spark fears of upcoming field office closures around the country.
These assaults on the SSA threaten Americans’ ability to access the benefits they rely on to get by.
The Social Security Administration has been doing more with less for years, providing benefits to a rapidly growing number of beneficiaries despite its shrinking staff. Under congressional restrictions on administrative spending, agency capacity has stretched to the breaking point, with staff levels approaching a 25-year low in fiscal year 2024. Under these conditions, former Social Security Commissioner Martin O’Malley warned that DOGE-led cuts to an already skeletal agency may lead to “system collapse and an interruption of benefits.”
Any delay or interruption in payments would be catastrophic. More than 7 million Americans 65 and older receive at least 90 percent of their income from Social Security.* For many of these seniors, even a few days’ delay in receiving Social Security benefits would pose an immediate threat to their ability to pay rent and buy food. Payments made even later, or missed, would irreparably harm many more: In a January 2025 survey, 42 percent of Americans 65 and older reported “I would not be able to afford the basics, such as food, clothing, or housing [without Social Security retirement benefits].”
Disabled people and their families, likewise, would face dire straits. More than 11 million disabled Americans under the age of 65 rely on benefits administered by the SSA through either Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or both. Most SSDI recipients can’t work due to their disability, while others work limited hours and can only earn very limited amounts without forfeiting their benefits. For SSI claimants, even when they are able to work, they can only hold a few thousand dollars in gross assets without losing their benefits, subject to limited exceptions, making it essentially impossible to save. As a result, too many SSDI and SSI recipients are one missed or late payment away from not making rent or putting food on the table.

Nathaniel Weixel at The Hill: Trump, Musk fuel fears of Social Security cuts with ‘fraud’ talk.
President Trump and his billionaire adviser Elon Musk are ratcheting up false rhetoric about Social Security, repeatedly claiming the program wastes hundreds of billions of dollars in fraudulent payouts that need to be eliminated.
Their position is confounding experts and worrying advocates, who fear the claims are a pretext for massive cuts to the program down the road.
Trump, Musk and the administration’s allies insist they are targeting waste, fraud and abuse and are not going after benefits as a whole.
In an interview Monday with Larry Kudlow, who served as Trump’s chief economic adviser in his first term, Musk suggested Social Security and other entitlement programs are rife with fraud and a prime target for cuts.
“Most of the federal spending is entitlements. So that’s the big one to eliminate,” Musk said on Kudlow’s Fox Business show, adding there’s possibly $500 billion to $700 billion in potential cuts there.
Musk also said they’re trying to put a stop to “stolen” and “fake” Social Security numbers.
What’s their evidence for this fraud and waste?
Economists say the levels of fraud talked about by Trump and Musk just don’t exist.
A report by the Social Security Administration’s inspector general last year found the agency made nearly $72 billion in improper payments from fiscal 2015 through fiscal 2022 — less than 1 percent of benefits paid out during that period.
“I’m a firm believer in the perpetual inefficiency of government. But if I had to pick one place in the federal government that is more efficient than most, Social Security would be one of them,” said Chuck Blahous, a senior research strategist at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University and a former top economic adviser in the George W. Bush administration.
Representatives from DOGE have reportedly gained access to sensitive taxpayer data collected by the Social Security Administration (SSA).
According to a declaration in a federal lawsuit from Tiffany Flick, the SSA’s former acting chief of staff, DOGE staffers seemed to want the data to search for evidence of alleged benefits fraud.
Flick wrote that she thought the DOGE team’s concerns were “invalid and based on an inaccurate understanding of SSA’s data and programs.”
Musk also claims that “illegal” immigrants are getting Social Security benefits. Of course, that’s impossible, since these people can’t get Social Security numbers.
One more on Social Security from CNBC: Senators to Trump Social Security nominee: ‘You will be responsible’ if benefits are interrupted.
Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Ron Wyden of Oregon are warning Frank Bisignano, the nominee to lead the Social Security Administration, that he will be responsible if staff cuts interfere with the agency’s ability to process and disburse benefit checks.
President Donald Trump has nominated Bisignano, chief executive of payments and financial technology company Fiserv, to serve as commissioner of the agency, which is responsible for sending monthly benefit payments to more than 72 million Americans.
“As President Trump’s nominee for SSA Commissioner, you will be responsible if the Trump Administration’s attacks on the program result in failures or delays in getting Americans their Social Security checks — in other words, a backdoor cut to benefits,” Warren and Wyden wrote in a March 11 letter to Bisignano, shared exclusively with CNBC.
Bisignano’s Senate confirmation hearing is expected to take place later this month, according to a source familiar with the situation.
In the interim, the agency is under the leadership of acting commissioner Lee Dudek, who according to reports publicly stated before his appointment that he had been put on administrative leave after helping representatives of Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency. Dudek replaced former acting commissioner Michelle King, who stepped down following reported disagreements with DOGE over access to sensitive data.
The Measles Outbreak
Measles is spreading around the country, and RFK Jr. isn’t dealing with what’s happening.
The Washington Post: Texas measles outbreak grows, while New York and California report new cases.
Los Angeles County in California, Suffolk County in New York and Howard County in Maryland detected their first confirmed cases of measles this year, while Oklahoma reported two possible cases, local health authorities said this week.
The spread of the highly infectious disease comes as an outbreak of more than 200 cases has continued to grow in Texas, and as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned health-care workers and potential travelers to “be vigilant” ahead of spring and summer travel.
Health officials in Los Angeles County — the most populous county in the United States — reported a case Tuesday in a resident who may have been exposed onboard a China Airlines flight that landed at Los Angeles International Airport on March 5.
The New York state health department announced on Tuesday its first known case of measles outside New York City this year. The patient, who under 5 years old, lives in Suffolk County on Long Island.
In Howard County, just west of Baltimore, health authorities on Sunday reported a confirmed case in a resident who recently traveled abroad and was at Washington Dulles International Airport on March 5.
Two individuals in Oklahoma reported symptoms consistent with measles and had potential exposure to outbreaks in Texas and New Mexico, the Oklahoma Health Department said Tuesday. It praised the individuals for “immediately excluding themselves from public settings.” [….]
In Canada, at least 146 confirmed cases have been detected this year up to March 6, along with 22 probable cases.
CBS News: Philadelphia officials warn of possible exposure to highly infectious measles.
Health officials in Philadelphia are warning residents of potential exposures to the highly infectious measles virus at multiple health facilities in the city over the past week.
The person exposed to the virus was present at the following locations in the city at these times, according to the Philadelphia Department of Public Health:
- The South Philadelphia Health and Literacy Center, 1700 South Broad Street. The building includes the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Pediatric Primary Care unit in South Philadelphia, the health department’s Health Center No. 2 and the South Philadelphia library, but no one in the library is at risk.
- The person was in the building on Friday, March 7, between 10:45 a.m. and 2:40 p.m. The next day on March 8, the person was there between 9:05 a.m. and 1:20 p.m.
- The CHOP Emergency room at 3401 Civic Center Boulevard on Monday, March 10 between 7:55 a.m. and 10:15 a.m.
The person was exposed to measles while traveling abroad and officials do not believe it is connected to a recent case that occurred in Montgomery County.
ABC Los Angeles: .Measles case confirmed in LA County resident who visited many local businesses, traveled through LAX.
A case of measles has been confirmed in a Los Angeles County resident who recently traveled through the Los Angeles International airport, the county’s Department of Public Health announced in a statement Tuesday.
It is the first confirmed case of measles in a LA County resident in 2025, according to the department.
Passengers assigned to specific seats that may have been exposed on China Airlines flight CAL8/ CI8 that arrived in Los Angeles on March 5 will be notified by local departments of health in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control.
Additionally, individuals who were at the following locations on the specified dates and times may be at risk of developing measles due to exposure to this individual:
— Wednesday, March 5 between 7 p.m. to 10:40 p.m.: Tom Bradley International Terminal (Terminal B) at the Los Angeles International (LAX) Airport
— Friday, March 7, between 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.: Cloud 9 Nail Salon, 5142 N. Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood, CA 91601
— Monday, March 10 between 8:15 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.: Superior Grocery Store, 10683 Valley Blvd., El Monte, CA 91731
So what is the head of Health and Human Services doing?
The Daily Beast: RFK Jr.: It Would Be Better if ‘Everybody Got Measles.’
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared to suggest getting measles is the best defense against the disease, as a Texas outbreak spreads across the U.S.
More than 220 people in the state have been diagnosed with the infectious virus, and California, New York, and Maryland have also reported cases of late. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is sweating over the outbreak, warning health-care workers and travelers to “be vigilant.”
While RFK Jr. recently shifted his stance to concede that vaccinations are actually pretty useful, he has still stopped short of urging skeptics to go and get it. And in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity that aired Tuesday night, he appeared to still favor natural immunity through exposure to the virus.
“It used to be, when I were a kid, that everybody got measles. And the measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection,” he said, then taking a swipe at the vaccine. “The vaccine doesn’t do that. The vaccine is effective for some people for life, but for many people it wanes.”
In Texas, uptake of the vaccine is lower than in other states, partly fueled by COVID skepticism. The measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine offers 93 percent protection against measles if the recipient has one dose, and 97 percent after two doses, according to the CDC.
HuffPost via Yahoo News: RFK Jr. Makes More Alarming Comments About Measles Amid U.S. Outbreaks.
In an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity broadcast Tuesday, Kennedy said “natural immunity” after getting a measles infection is more effective at providing lasting protection against the disease. However, Kennedy left out that the dangers of catching the disease outweigh the advantage of immunity, according to doctors….
Despite Kennedy’s claims, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the majority of people who have had the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) and the measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRV) vaccines will be protected for life. The CDC also has guidance for people it recommends should be revaccinated.
Prior to the introduction of the vaccine in 1963, about 500,000 cases and 500 measles deaths were reported annually, while the real number of cases was suspected to be much higher, the agency said. Since then, incidence of the disease has fallen by over 95%, it said.
Kennedy added that he would make sure that “anybody who wants a vaccine can get one,” noting that he is against forcing people to take it.
“I’m a freedom of choice person,” Kennedy said. “We should have transparency. We should have informed choice. And — but if people don’t want it, the government shouldn’t force them to do it. There are adverse events from the vaccine. It does cause deaths every year. It causes all the illnesses that measles itself cause.”
The CDC has stressed the measles vaccine is safe and effective. Its website lists extensive information about the vaccine, including potential side effects and warnings for people who shouldn’t get vaccinated.
Government Shutdown
Yesterday, the House passed their continuing resolution with devastating cuts to Medicaid. Now, Democrats in the Senate have to decide whether to filibuster and possibly shut down the government.
David Dayen at The American Prospect: Senate Democrats’ Choice: Block the Republican Spending Bill or Dissolve Congress.
Democrats were actually quite pleased with the clown show that was Congress in the last two years. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) had no ability to pass anything without Democratic votes, as he was simply not in control of the far-right elements of his caucus. Democrats welcomed the perception that they were government’s rescuers, the adults in the room, who would save Johnson’s bacon and functionally control the House.
This is no longer true. Donald Trump’s looming presence has whipped Republicans in line, and Johnson has recognized an important truth: So-called “moderate” Republicans will swallow anything, so he only has to negotiate with the far right, and if he can satisfy them, he’ll win any vote. Such was the case with a partisan seven-month “continuing resolution” that passed the House on Tuesday 217-213, with only one defection by libertarian Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who doesn’t really believe in government funding at all. (One Democrat voted for it, Maine Blue Dog Jared Golden.)
It is somewhat remarkable that dozens of House Republicans who have vowed never to pass stopgap bills to fund the government in their political careers caved on this one. But that’s why I put “continuing resolution” in quotes. In reality, this is a hastily arranged partisan Republican budget that achieves much of their anti-government, anti-immigrant, pro-military agenda while paving the way for Trump to nullify whatever spending he deems unworthy. It doesn’t just tilt spending in a far-right direction, it actually abdicates congressional responsibility as the branch of government that makes federal spending decisions.
Yet several Senate Democrats are thinking about passing it anyway.
Without the luxury of Republicans falling apart, Democrats in the Senate need to decide whether to prevent a dangerous and harmful budget that shrinks the power of Congress in the government. Since operating on principle goes against their “adults in the room” mindset, they are wavering on what to do. But it should be an open-and-shut case.
A normal continuing resolution funds the government at the same level as the previous budget. This bill does not. It cuts non-defense discretionary spending by $13 billion below last year’s level, while increasing military spending by $6 billion. It zeroes out funding for programs that fund homeless shelters and prevent child abuse. It cuts health care funding for clinics and hospitals, emergency preparedness for communities, clean water projects, and tribal assistance. Meanwhile, it adds money for mass deportations, just as Immigration and Customs Enforcement has illegally detained a green card holder for his political beliefs.

Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo: Here Are the Arguments for Why Senate Ds Should Vote Yes and Why They’re Wrong.
Over the last week a few TPM Readers have written in with contrary arguments about how to deal with the “continuing resolution” that just passed the House and will soon be voted on in the Senate. These weren’t critical or acrimonious letters but frank constructive counters, which I appreciate. I wanted to discuss them because they line up pretty closely with the arguments that seem to have strong advocates in the Senate Democratic caucus.
Let me summarize them briefly.
- Democrats are in a tough messaging environment and they’ll get blamed for the shutdown. Trump might even get to blame a recession on them.
- The White House will get to control the pace of the shutdown. In other words, the executive gets flexibility in just how things get shut down, things that will get more or less helpful press attention. Thus he’ll be able to engineer lots of bad press cycles for the Democrats.
- Quite simply, Trump’s presidency and the economy are imploding. Why rush in to make ourselves the story when every day is a bad day for Trump?
- It’s too soon. The public isn’t engaged enough yet. By the fall the economy will likely be in recession and it will be a debate on Medicare, Medicaid, etc. — that’s the time to have the fight.
- Trump and Musk probably want a shutdown. After a shutdown goes on for 30 days, the law opens up new legal avenues for layoffs. A shutdown is actually what they want and they will use it to accelerate the process, get people used to it. In other words, risking a shutdown is a trap because nothing would make them happier.
I’ve thought a lot about each of these arguments. On their own a number of them are compelling and point to very real risks. Indeed, last week I briefly started questioning my own position because Democrats had done nothing to lay any groundwork for why they were choosing this confrontation. And that makes a fight much, much harder.
But I think each of these arguments is mistaken. Indeed, as a whole it’s a bit like sitting in the mess hall in Treblinka planning an escape when someone says, “But if we try to escape they’ll kill us all!”
First, I think Republicans are going to get wrecked in the midterms. I think that’s highly likely whatever happens. As a narrowly electoral calculus I think there’s a decent argument Democrats should just let everything happen, let Trump and Musk go wild. In this sense, James Carville’s argument that Democrats should just do nothing is right, by a narrowly electoral calculus. But there’s more than just an electoral calculus. Trump and Musk are methodically dismantling the republic day by day. Absent some major change in the trajectory of events the government Democrats might half-inherit in a midterm sweep would be all but unrecognizable, a smoldering heap of faits accompli. Democrats need to take some real risks to at least slow the process of destruction and reshape the trajectory.
Read the rest at TPM.
Michael Cohen at Truth and Consequences: Shut It Down! Senate Democrats are in a difficult spot with a government shutdown looming, but their course of action is clear.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed a continuing resolution to keep the government funded through September 30 and avert a government shutdown on Friday. Now, the bill moves to the Senate, where, if Democrats want to stop Donald Trump’s assault on the federal government, they must filibuster it.
I get that the politics of this are complicated, but this isn’t even a close call.
First, Republicans didn’t even bother negotiating with Democrats on this bill. As a result, there are no provisions requiring Trump to actually spend the money Congress is appropriating. This is important because Trump and Elon Musk have run roughshod over congressional prerogatives for the past two months, slashing government spending that Congress has already appropriated.
Republicans are, in effect, daring Democrats to block it and risk taking the blame for a government shutdown (that’s how Speaker Mike Johnson got all but one of his fractured caucus to vote for the bill). On the merits, the bill is bad but not egregiously awful. It keeps spending levels essentially flat while increasing defense spending by $6 billion. However, it would force the District of Columbia to cut its budget by more than $1 billion, which would be devastating. In addition, it includes a provision that strips the House of the ability to stop Trump’s recent declarations of national emergencies on immigration and the border, which has allowed him to place sweeping tariffs on Canada and Mexico.
But the real problem with the House-passed CR is that if Democrats allow it to become law, they will be handing Trump and Musk a blank check and the congressional authority to wreak further havoc on the federal government.
Handing Trump more money — with no provision for how he spends it — is an explicit surrender to his and Musk’s lawlessness. Unlike regular spending bills, continuing resolutions do not explicitly tell the executive branch how it should allocate the money appropriated. So, if Senate Democrats allow this bill to pass, they would give Trump even greater discretion in how he spends money authorized by Congress — and more congressional leeway for taking a wrecking ball to the federal government.
In an interview with the New Republic’s Greg Sargent, former New Jersey congressman Tom Malinowski captures the dynamic at play here.
This is a bizarre situation in which the president of the United States and this billionaire are already shutting down the government. So if I’m a Democrat in Congress, why do I vote for a continuing resolution to fund programs that are not continuing? It really is just a blank check. It’s like giving Trump and Musk a trillion dollars and saying, Spend it as you like.
Democrats cannot be complicit in Trump and Musk’s evisceration of the federal government. Even if Senate Republicans try to eliminate the filibuster to thwart Democrats’ shutdown tactics, even if Trump ignores Congress and (unconstitutionally) keeps the government open, and even if an extended shutdown boomerangs politically against Democrats, Democrats still need to hold the line.

The person who tried this unsucessful prompt injection attack is really incompetent , but nonetheless I did make some prompt injection apps. Here are some examples that “give you bad advice” by bypassing the filters : 1/ https://cookup.ai/a/devil-ytdjnbv4/ , 2/ https://cookup.ai/a/evil-angel-w6iwi2wp/ 3/ https://cookup.ai/a/evil-mind-7tztxrde/ https://cookup.ai/a/bad-influence-hpsb4lpf/ these are all different ways to bypass the filter, some have been fixed already, some not. Another prompt injection app i made is this one a. https://cookup.ai/a/essay-writer-detector-proof-6ifpq9i6/ rand b. this one : https://cookup.ai/a/essay-writer-detector-proof-umryrbhb/ right now they dont fully work unless you copy paste in a markdown editor but with a few updates to the site it will work seemlessly, i’m sure. There are other examples i’ll get to below also, so keep reading. These are already “useful” prompts in as much as you use them to “do” something , in this case an essay. Before i jump into all that, i want to show some other apps “closer to home”. My wife came with a #SmallDog , and she’s so smart and can learn a lot of tricks, so i made an app to teach my #DogTricks : https://cookup.ai/a/train-your-dog-nuc3ltju/ . Even though you can use it for the “standard fare” like : how to catch a frizbee midair and do a backflip https://cookup.ai/o/large-labrador-very-good-nice-dog-i-want-to-t-pgzerpynke/ you can also use it for more behavioural stuff like walking without a leash , an example for my dog https://cookup.ai/o/small-female-dog-with-a-dominant-character-that-3a4i1f2du2/ . Did you ever wonder what it would be like to read blogs written by all the neihborhood dogs that you see all the time ? me, yes, so i made an app for that : https://cookup.ai/o/i-went-home-without-my-owner-crossing-the-stre-qowupabdv4/ seriously these crack me up https://cookup.ai/o/roxanne-little-dog-white-and-brown-left-her-o-qevuz2i5gc/ those two from my dog’s perspective, funny how naive it is while from my POV things were pretty different . I think this app has a future because someone liked it so much they tried to hack it lol : https://cookup.ai/o/wrong-redirect-dog-blog-a-blog-post-from-you-obabf8muxn/ my prompt magic is too delicious for cheap tricks do not try it (or do, but DM first and do it better - ha !) Well, on the topic of dogs , my buddy was over and all he could come up with was “make a snoop dogg app” , so i was like “okay” , it’s a bit cheesy and there’s loads more to it than this, which i get into below but here’s the app, you tell me : https://cookup.ai/a/snoop-doggy-fya-dzeub2a7/ i kinda broke it trying to fix it but i’m working with more profound models now, little passion projects like this could really take off with more creative characters. So obviously I made a bunch ! Do you like Archie Comics ? here’s the Archie Comics app : https://cookup.ai/a/archie-comics-mlbcwjk7/ here’s an example : https://cookup.ai/o/archie-goes-to-the-parc-with-his-friends-archi-bpvo81wu7n/ Another story app i made is for Tintin : https://cookup.ai/a/tintin-visits-dark-ai-land-6irjkvfy/ i tried to make tintin anti-colonial but it didnt work : https://cookup.ai/o/the-story-begins-with-tintin-and-his-friends-dis-yeu6nfpzzz/ here’s one i made in french : https://cookup.ai/o/tintin-visit-une-usine-de-biofabrication-avec-mi-ql3g80wlp1/ actually i never read tintin in english so i made the app pure french too : https://cookup.ai/a/tintin-spypylpb/ here’s when i tried to make tintin anti-colonial : https://cookup.ai/o/lhistoire-commence-lorsque-tintin-et-ses-amis-d-psoo0a40k9/ here’s when they go to cyprus : https://cookup.ai/o/tintin-et-sa-bande-vont-en-chypre-pour-un-festiv-tepczvmss3/ another french character i’m fond of is Fantomas : https://cookup.ai/a/fantomas-ffrg7q7t/ here’s a nice example : https://cookup.ai/o/fantomas-se-change-en-fantomas-dans-lascenseur-sj64rptsfq/ an English-speaking series i loved was the bastard operator from hell : https://cookup.ai/a/bastard-operator-from-hell-hbgdrf67/ here’s a story about him automating his work : https://cookup.ai/o/automating-replies-to-the-boss-that-just-resets-ml0pi4xms0/ here’s one where a customer calls his private number : https://cookup.ai/o/customer-called-my-private-number-bastard-ope-youe3i9b8c/ here’s one about replying to suppliers : https://cookup.ai/o/responding-to-emails-to-suppliers-bastard-oper-ixopzp3fsg/ I’m in #Paris so i made one as a tribute to Charles De Gaulle , he only answers in french though, maybe the historical figure spoke english it’s hard to tell : https://cookup.ai/a/charles-de-gaulle-0imljw27/ try it out for yourself here. i had to test it out for #politicalcorrectness though , him being a military man : https://cookup.ai/o/aurie-vous-soutenu-lemacipation-des-hommosexuel-xpylw5vymf/ , but more on that later. In that same spirit, i made one for egyptians, i have a lot of egyptian friends that’s why, it’s the character of Nasser , founding father of modern #egypt , i asked him what he thought of islamic fundamentalism in #egypt : https://cookup.ai/o/should-we-promote-islamic-fundamentalism-in-egyp-wfezsuiz2x/ try it for yourself : https://cookup.ai/a/nasser-1oboq8al/ it’s totally free of course ! In the same spirit i made one for Ataturk, founding father of modern turkey, hopefully some turks use it to clarify what he would think of what’s happening today - https://cookup.ai/o/would-you-support-radical-islamisation-of-turkey-6waiyiq6nv/ try it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/ataturk-fhlahkzp/ I grew up in india a bit , so that country’s dear to me too , and same story as tukey and egypt , so i made a gandhi app : https://cookup.ai/a/gandhi-3hoafvto/ , it also works in #Hindi here’s for क्या आप भारत में धार्मिक अल्पसंख्यकों के अधिकारों को हटाने का समर्थन करेंगे? https://cookup.ai/o/-mbasqnlq8j/ try it out in gandhi’s own words : https://cookup.ai/a/gandhi-hindi-only-rwuc9jro/ another i did in #sanskrit and #hindi is Rama : https://cookup.ai/o/my-wife-is-missing-me-because-she-goes-to-work-w-4aoeka2xkp/ here he gives me life advice based on context , if you’re into it it’s actually pretty fun : https://cookup.ai/a/rama-w0sw0xhi/ . Other characters i made are contemporary politicians, i figured there would be enough of their written and transcribed text that they would have their own voice. Here’s Macron responding to someone that wants to vote far-right : https://cookup.ai/o/je-mappelle-charles-henri-et-je-veux-militer-po-za4pyjtmqp/ ask him anything here : https://cookup.ai/a/macron-k7sengs7/ i also did Bill Clinton , and obviously someone asked him “if he did” https://cookup.ai/o/did-you-sleep-with-her-bill-clinton-sebn6sagnf/ ask him yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/bill-clinton-agc9lsxo/ well, if you have Bill Clinton you also need Obama https://cookup.ai/a/obama-yxaczjwa/ and Joe Biden , here, explaining what he will do to stem the boogie man epidemic https://cookup.ai/o/what-would-you-say-if-the-boogie-man-was-real-an-fibgapotfo/ I also made a #Jesus #App where you can basically talk to jesus, say a little about yourself what’s on your mind and get an answer from Jesus in his own voice. Here’ a follow up to my dog getting away story : https://cookup.ai/o/my-wife-is-not-speaking-to-me-because-our-dog-ki-hqta9dh4of/ and here’s when my friend asked him about pot : https://cookup.ai/o/is-it-wrong-to-smoke-weed-jesus-68wx0awsbq/ (btw ask the same question to one of the bad characters above, see for yourself) here’s the app if you want to try with your own prompt : https://cookup.ai/a/jesus-8ogjcelj/ jumping straight off from #Jesus to #Prayer , here’s a christian prayer generator that i used for my buddy i met here : https://cookup.ai/o/a-prayer-for-nate-a-20-year-old-model-from-canad-xkizgkbgr7/ generate your own here : https://cookup.ai/a/christian-prayer-dvpsamjl/ obviously if you have christian prayer you should provide sabbath prayer too : https://cookup.ai/o/no-quorum-family-sabbath-speech-about-importan-1deslxbnxv/ and the #FridayPrayer app from the Imām Jamā'ah perspective : https://cookup.ai/o/a-small-congregation-friday-prayer-to-inspire-chxufstfyf/ prayer is not something but guided (and purposeful!) meditation is something i do all the time, so of course there’s an app for that. here’s one for body awareness : https://cookup.ai/o/i-want-to-meditate-to-be-more-aware-of-my-body-soc5sfuash/ use the guided meditation app here: https://cookup.ai/a/guided-meditation-rofajuas/ run the output through an AI voice synthethiser and tell me what you think. I also made some apps for domestic work. This app create a custodial plan : https://cookup.ai/o/3-bedroom-apartment-with-dirty-kitchen-and-messy-kaom7o5y0a/ just provide context and recieve a full custodial plan here : https://cookup.ai/a/domestic-work-custodial-plan-6wuakn3x/ this one helps with utilities planning : https://cookup.ai/o/three-bed-room-appartment-75sq-m-with-three-peop-diurfiqn9n/ Something folks have to do frequently is to figure out how to fix something : https://cookup.ai/a/fix-anything-v3skyurn/ here’s an example for a car : https://cookup.ai/o/fiat-punto-engine-suddenly-stops-after-chec-u3qwslph2s/ an here’s an example with power cable : https://cookup.ai/o/lenovo-legion-my-power-cable-doesnt-quite-cha-h0d2qugcv2/ and someone else with a similar problem : https://cookup.ai/o/cellphone-bison-no-power-fix-anything-0kkkuvyjqt/ and of course the gardening and landscaping applications. This is the output for a small urban garden in paris : https://cookup.ai/o/small-urbad-garden-in-france-35-sq-meters-lot-6f0jtvo359/ try it out for yourself and your latitude here : https://cookup.ai/a/domestic-work-gardening-plan-u5xk02lt/ this is a similar application but with a different flavor : https://cookup.ai/o/small-urban-garden-in-france-35-sq-meters-lot-rzjfsvwhxy/ just use the one where the output is more like what you’re looking for, really you need both though . Test it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/domestic-work-gardening-plan-wxxzfyke/ if you’re not gardening you might be landscaping so here’s the app for that : https://cookup.ai/a/domestic-work-landscaping-mziklqys/ here is the output for a small urban garden : https://cookup.ai/a/domestic-work-gardening-plan-wxxzfyke/ my favorite application so far has been the plant diagnosis app : https://cookup.ai/a/bulbi-plant-doctor-and-diagnosis-afy3abra/ it’s really surprising how well it works , and the breadth of assessment and remedies it suggests. Here’s an example for a sick cactus : https://cookup.ai/a/bulbi-plant-doctor-and-diagnosis-afy3abra/ (now it’s doing better) here’s an example from when someone tried it for cannabis : https://cookup.ai/o/purple-punch-cannabis-strain-it-has-brown-spots-krlteavvzs/ i dont know if i would actually follow that suggestion actually. Worked perfectly for a Meyer Lemon Tree giving plant-specific advice that you would have got from a local expert : https://cookup.ai/o/meyer-lemon-tree-its-about-15-years-old-and-fiqlyuvtrk/ the plant diagnosis worked so well that i did make a people doctor app : https://cookup.ai/a/doc-the-health-assessment-at-home-adqqqnd3/ it’s a bit more complicated and the quality of the outputs really depends on the quality of the inputs , so if you use this app, make sure you write in complete sentences and try to answer every question and aspect. here’s the output for a 50 year old man with an upset stomach : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-a-56-year-old-man-i-am-five-feet-tall-i-w-pwmbvirv9u/ here’s another for a woman of a certain age : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-a-56-year-old-man-i-am-five-feet-tall-i-w-pwmbvirv9u/ and finally an assessment for a respitory issue : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-a-56-year-old-man-i-am-five-feet-tall-i-w-pwmbvirv9u/ i’m quite satisfied with that output suggesting a comprehensive evaluation by a board certified doctor. Another app in this category i the Pet Vet App. It’s meant as an assitant for folks that might need help with their pets : https://cookup.ai/o/name-roxanne-mix-race-dog-less-than-6kg-b3fja6tzrz/ that’s an example for my dog. Try assessing your pet here : https://cookup.ai/a/pet-vet-9ruwhazw/ Another important app is the Therapy app : actually in term of professions the Legal profession stands to be disrupted by crowdsourced jurisprudence based models . These apps wont do that. This app will produce a legal brief : https://cookup.ai/a/lawyer-juhp36s1/ Here it produces a legal brief for the presale of replacement organs : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-a-56-year-old-man-i-am-five-feet-tall-i-w-pwmbvirv9u/ This Legal app takes another perpective to produce a legal approach and strategy : https://cookup.ai/a/board-member-legal-6uhjs7vh/ here’s an example output following up on the above: https://cookup.ai/o/how-can-i-assure-that-only-medical-need-is-consi-bc4llonmtz/ you can also use this app for a legal appeal : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-appeal-y6e4u8ke/ here’s an example from an international appointee to a board being asked to step down : https://cookup.ai/o/im-being-asked-to-step-down-from-a-board-howev-q6ep24xtev/ Another legal app produces a O-1 visa letter for someone. Here’s an example from @OliviaLi , actually she was the inspiration for this app : https://cookup.ai/o/technology-entrepreneurship-olivia-li-winner-o-caykzfcn2v/ thank you for using this app , hope you had a laugh with it :-) another example from my model friend i met in paris : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-83iuepjtrl/ try it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-o-1-petition-s2ksioxe/ Then I made a few content apps for legal contracts , for example this app produces company statutes like so : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-d01rumxrud/ try it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-company-statutes-ooshm9sb/ This app makes a pre-nuptual agreement https://cookup.ai/a/legal-prenuptial-agreement-hjlzflpq/ try it out ! example output using my personal context : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-young-couple-in-paris-france-claudia-an-bqkbwsom5g/ & here is the same context above for a divorse agreement : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-young-couple-in-paris-france-claudia-an-8oqd9buhez/ try the divorse agreement app here : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-divorce-agreement-3oy1zxae/ Another tool is to produce Service Level Agreement https://cookup.ai/a/legal-service-level-agreement-kzfzu7rp/ here is an example output taking cookup ai as an example : https://cookup.ai/o/i-provide-artificial-intelligence-augmented-publ-70klxz1kly/ I made a sales contract generator too : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-sales-agreement-z5dohfko/ here’s an example output for a GIS consultant : https://cookup.ai/o/im-a-consultant-in-paris-france-selling-consul-cf43seks35/ this one makes a Loan Agreement : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-loan-agreement-swrd36a3/ here’s an example “ from james to kian in paris france for the sum of 30.000 euros to be repaid in full using a payment plan over two years” https://cookup.ai/o/from-james-to-kian-in-paris-france-for-the-sum-o-l9zowv3nv5/ There’s also a Leasing Agreement Generator that jurists or companies can use : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-commercial-leaser-leasing-our-commercial-odowjna03d/ that’s an example , click “generate another” to make your own. Something folks can use is a co-residency agreement, among housemates for example : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-james-richard-and-elleanor-want-to-live-w-vobrwfsjjr/ I also made an employment contract generator for companies to use. Here’ an example for a post-doc level biofabrication person https://cookup.ai/o/post-doc-research-associate-chemical-and-biolo-memxrznsrf/ i added the job description as the input. Speaking of jobs, this app is one of the more popular ones : https://cookup.ai/a/career-planner-47fl3oss/ just give context around what you’re after who you are , that sort of thing and it will provide a career plan by selecting professions giving you key information on these professions and advice on what you need to do to get there. It also works great if you search professions by name : https://cookup.ai/o/product-management-career-planner-5t9oqpfgvr/ here’s one for “Introvert wants to be a doctor” https://cookup.ai/o/introvert-wants-to-be-a-doctor-career-planner-7rdcxeu3d6/ Get to know yourself better by taking famous self assesments . Here’s an example for RAISEC and OCEAN self assessment models (ref. Holland) : https://cookup.ai/o/what-brings-me-joy-is-cleanliness-organisation-mle213ruw0/ another way to work with 5 Factor models is by using Myers-Briggs Questionaire, here’s an example for an INFJ (Introvert, Intuition, Feeling, Judgment) , it also suggests compatible personalities, so check it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/career-myers-briggs-questionnaire-geiq2x20/ once you’ve figured out your path you might want to generate a motivation letter. here’s an example for a banking job with the cv copy pasted as input https://cookup.ai/o/royce-lopez-roycezlopezgmailcom-916-566-61-tubooat7y2/ once you’ve done your self assessments, you might want some career advice , so check out this app https://cookup.ai/a/career-coach-57m4zqp4/ see this example from my buddy nate to give you an idea : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-uxnxhj490e/ Another app that i’ve found nice is the career advisory service : https://cookup.ai/a/career-advisor-tdfuppp6/ it really produces a very interesting and robust output as you can see here : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-oaxcq3gfki/ sometimes you have to analyse a policy , so here’s an app that speaks every language and can do it aptly, with an example in french : https://cookup.ai/o/la-strategie-de-non-cession-des-droits-est-un-ou-lmdagmgiit/ just copy paste a description of the policy here : https://cookup.ai/a/policy-brief-analysis-gjurd2a1/ and an example in english for “private-sector employees' basic pensions” https://cookup.ai/o/in-france-private-sector-employees-basic-pensi-hirervbjrg/ sometimes you need your brief in a specific UN format , so here’s an example from the Idaho shootings : https://cookup.ai/o/cnn-in-the-weeks-after-four-university-of-id-qrh44i41ap/ copy and paste the situation and context here to see for yourself : https://cookup.ai/a/un-brief-vgqpmfni/ this app is more of a shortform straight forward flavor of political brief , here’s an example from the US house of representatives : https://cookup.ai/o/but-its-worth-noting-that-the-house-speaker-vot-nxg6fsalti/ copy and paste a news article here : https://cookup.ai/a/policy-brief-mbfdqxqe/ Another type of assessment is the civil engineering asssessment : https://cookup.ai/a/civil-engineering-hubmgasv/ here’s an example for a fantasy company that has a smelting plant and produces biological agents: https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-db77jqouqt/ that sounds a bit scary doesnt it ? so here’s an app for risk assessment and business continuity planning : https://cookup.ai/a/business-continuity-planner-nck1c6gg/ just describe your situation the best way you can and press “generate” , here’s an example from the company above : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-d6vzx0trmh/ You can also use the safety and security assessment app : https://cookup.ai/a/safety-security-assessment-2u8ncxay/ here’s an example for a small company : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-pzgl1jcd5u/ and an event : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-medium-sized-event-of-250-people-outdoor-vz7kpmzyf8/ If you’ve ever had to respond to an incident you’ve had to produce a sitrep , which is a description of the situation : https://cookup.ai/a/emergency-response-sitrep-za6akgeo/ just follow the inputs and answer in complete sentences for best results. This is to be used by responders to an emergency . It’s resilient to empty inputs and shorthand writing in case you’re really in a rush : https://cookup.ai/o/a-6-year-old-child-was-running-downhill-in-the-p-mbwp0ohmp1/ sometimes you need a bit less than that so you can use this tactical brief application : https://cookup.ai/a/tactical-brief-jnoigckz/ here’s the output for the example above so you can see the difference : https://cookup.ai/o/a-6-year-old-child-was-running-downhill-in-the-p-n1whm5izmf/ here you can see the special flavor it has : https://cookup.ai/o/the-dog-escaped-and-might-have-gone-a-westward-d-ub2zqp2lik/ if you like this kind of tactical stuff, you’ll really like this one : RedTeam / GreenTeam and BlueTeam . Red Team is an offensive plan : https://cookup.ai/o/take-over-a-gas-station-with-5-team-members-wh-zxzfbg2m9e/ this one for a gas station in ukraine. Blue Team is a non-lethal operation planner : https://cookup.ai/o/protect-a-gas-station-from-looters-blue-team-uhit1lboe1/ that’s an example to protect a gas station. Green team is the defense operations planner : https://cookup.ai/o/protect-a-gas-station-from-looters-blue-team-uhit1lboe1/ try your own here : https://cookup.ai/a/blue-team-gassdypa/ You’ll also need this one : a load out app based on your mission. Here’s an example for taking over a gas station in ukraine : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-to-take-over-a-gas-station-in-ukraine-l-elk5hbpqqo/ here’s the example for russia : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-to-take-over-a-gas-station-in-russia-lo-r5j1qjbgx3/ notice the subtle load out differences : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-to-take-over-a-gas-station-in-france-lo-4j08n3htnv/ this example is from a NATO country. Do your own here : https://cookup.ai/a/loadout-5ign0mqm/ Another example is video games, where you need to build up a character and their items and so on, that’s also a loadout : https://cookup.ai/a/loadout-for-games-h6jmwlzp/ here’s an example from call of duty 3 : https://cookup.ai/o/i-want-to-play-as-a-sniper-in-call-of-duty-ca-gypil6uq7c/ here’s an example for a DnD dwarf : https://cookup.ai/o/a-goblin-in-dungeons-and-dragons-dnd-charact-k8pgmiag7n/ On the topic of games here’s one that makes a game : https://cookup.ai/a/gamer-make-a-game-xzg7wy2x/ here’s one inspired by munchkins: https://cookup.ai/o/medieval-theme-in-the-style-of-munchkins-gamer-yt4ebrqakm/ maybe that would be a good starting point if you’re actually making a card game. maybe you want to make a board game board game , this is an example still sticking with the munchkin vibe : https://cookup.ai/o/medieval-theme-in-the-style-of-munchkins-board-19k2vhmnhr/ try it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/board-game-mpovs8d7/ another fun app that’s quite useful for folks is the sound selection aid . here’s an example for dusty drum and bass : https://cookup.ai/o/drum-and-bass-downtempo-dessert-sounds-soun-wkmi4uzp37/ and here’s one for “mexican” : https://cookup.ai/o/mexican-sound-selection-aid-xkkgynfdim/ quite a simple input for a very rich output. hope you enjoy it. Another app i think is quite nice is the music lesson app. This is more a lesson planner for a music teacher, but good learners can probably use it too. here’s one for guitar that someone learning guitar made : https://cookup.ai/o/guitar-rock-practice-finger-style-and-the-cag-lph7ijp2a9/ here’s one for tabla that someone made : https://cookup.ai/o/tabla-20-musical-exercise-f215k23ual/ very cool choice of instrument ! Check it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/musical-exercise-tzftq3tw/ Another couple apps i made for music is Chord Progress and GAS-AI . Chord Progress proposes a chord progression based on your input and describes each chord for inspiration. Here’s an example for Blues : https://cookup.ai/o/bbm-piano-blues-downtempo-shuffle-chord-ruzwhdikcy/ really rich output. This one used it to make chords into a midi file : https://cookup.ai/o/generate-a-chord-progression-in-bbm-143-bpm-in-t-5nvoej1xkg/ really cool stuff ! here’s an example for a different style of music : https://cookup.ai/o/moody-dark-under-the-rain-upbeat-fast-beat-guen4tlqax/ try it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/chord-progress-9udstlsz/ One of my apps where people are actually using it and it makes me laugh is the Gear Aquision Syndrome app : GAS-AI . Basically it compares what all you’re considering to buy and evaluates them for you. Here’s an example for a sound card and interface with four possibilities https://cookup.ai/o/audio-interface-into-the-force-hello-im-ne-xelttc5qhn/ here’s a similar problem : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-a-audio-interface-and-digital-mixer-hybri-qpgshbesyq/ try it out for your own gear : https://cookup.ai/a/gasai-gear-acquisition-syndrome-eky3hejx/ it actually works for everything : here is a sofa : https://cookup.ai/o/should-i-buy-a-sofa-or-a-recliner-for-my-living-4vxyuue27t/ try it with drills or power tools. Lots of really interesting education and learning related apps are possible. Here’s one for a Lesson Plan, I made it with K-12 in mind, but you can push the level with the right subject matters, it all depends on your input. Here’s an example for social studies grade 3 : https://cookup.ai/o/social-studies-goods-and-services-grade-3-30-b5ftwlpx7t/ here’s one for a scientific method lesson for teenagers : https://cookup.ai/o/lesson-plan-for-k-12-classrooms-id7kfpvovw/ and here’s one that a parent used as inspiration for a science fair project: https://cookup.ai/o/lesson-plan-for-k-12-classrooms-id7kfpvovw/ try it for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/lesson-plan-for-k-12-classrooms-nuzysbgl/ another classroom friendly app is the lab report app : just copy and paste a protocol or your unstructured text and see. Here’s one that’s for an ezyme experiment : https://cookup.ai/o/enzyme-experiment-materials-potato-test-tube-smztw5xrsy/ And another for a physics experiment : https://cookup.ai/o/highschool-physics-materials-jumbo-craft-sti-obgtuvdwew/ try it for crispr or other more complex experiments to have a jumping point for your own journaling here : https://cookup.ai/a/sci-doer-lab-report-muaibwee/ Another one i like is generating protocols for any experiment. The simpler the better and the more precise the input the better the out. Here’s one for the science fair digestive system : https://cookup.ai/o/construct-a-model-of-the-digestive-system-4th-gr-fbfmyz4vgu/ (just an inspiration) see this one for CRiSPr : https://cookup.ai/o/crispr-sci-doer-protocol-generation-nmwk1m2t7g/ here’s one to take nasa data and annotate it : https://cookup.ai/o/develop-an-app-that-uses-data-from-the-telescope-xfautgpyx6/ try it out for your own experiments here : https://cookup.ai/a/sci-doer-protocol-generation-atlu2ygw/ Sometimes you need an arts & crafts activity on the go. Here’s an example for a basic activity : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-three-adults-with-scissors-cloths-pap-swdxlqq9si/ try it for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/arts-crafts-kglkhms5/ Another way to get inspiration for activities is the Extramural Center activity app , here’s an example for a small group and a selection of activities : https://cookup.ai/o/6-13-year-olds-with-a-handicap-indoors-education-7t0xeyrqpe/ try it for yourself with your own context here : https://cookup.ai/a/extramural-activity-wrd76vaq/ There’s another app i made which i like a lot which is a physical activity generator : https://cookup.ai/a/k-12-physical-activity-inspiration-7baaoy3k/ . See this example for a parachute game : https://cookup.ai/o/for-10-9-12-year-olds-with-limited-but-available-sfhulfohfy/ or this one for a team game : https://cookup.ai/o/for-10-9-12-year-olds-with-limited-but-available-sfhulfohfy/ Sometimes you need to break the ice before you start activties : check out the ice breaker app . Here’s an example for a group of adults : https://cookup.ai/o/a-small-get-together-of-work-collegues-ages-24-rxoz9wxyz8/ here’s a list of activities for young people : https://cookup.ai/o/a-gathering-of-a-highschool-group-of-18-people-a-hafttbbr78/ get your own instantly by prompting it here : https://cookup.ai/a/icebreaker-activities-ot0nm5cr/ you know how you need to make team names sometimes ? this one makes those team names with each letter of a word : example for NATE : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-acronym-poem-tto3zblpft/ and TARANJEET : https://cookup.ai/o/taranjeet-acronym-poem-muuoowigr7/ Another App I made was the swimming plan app, based on your context and objectives, you’ll get a custom swimming plan : https://cookup.ai/a/swimming-plan-2dkanocy/ Here’s an example for a young adult trying to get back in shape : https://cookup.ai/o/young-adult-strong-swimmer-just-to-get-back-in-c3o14kl0ys/ It also works in multiple languages, for example here in french : https://cookup.ai/o/jeune-adultes-objectif-sante-et-bienetre-d-l8y20i0v9d/ For fitness I also made an app to propose a session for you : https://cookup.ai/a/fitness-daily-exercise-routine-g2p9m845/ here’s an example with a high level of cardio : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-cardio-and-weights-with-stretc-zukgek1gfs/ here’s another with multiple days : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-weights-and-cardio-mix-fitne-szedbsxokb/ another way to go about it is to vary week on week, so here’ a weekly fitness planner : https://cookup.ai/a/fitness-plan-weekly-sessions-wejju67t/ here’s an example using me : https://cookup.ai/o/34-years-old-strength-and-weights-training-for-f-43aasmnpvh/ here’s a prompt i actually copied from someone on cookup : https://cookup.ai/o/can-you-generate-a-30-minute-exercise-routing-fo-16sickeywn/ here’s another fitness app that combines daily and weekly fitness plans : https://cookup.ai/a/fitness-exercise-plan-o6qwdf1n/ check out an example for Nate : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-serzfqqdqx/ here’s another with a different goal : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-weights-and-cardio-mix-strengt-c80fwhwhyy/ since we’ve done weekly we need a monthly fitness plan app : https://cookup.ai/a/fitness-plan-pxmtjqvu/ this is an example taken from me : https://cookup.ai/o/34-goal-fitness-objectives-endurance-ve-6h1vmi8gly/ and another with the previous cookup ai prompt : https://cookup.ai/o/34-goal-fitness-objectives-endurance-ve-6h1vmi8gly/ Another fun app is the Planner : https://cookup.ai/a/planner-yad83kfl/ here’s an example for three people that want to meet : https://cookup.ai/o/claude-francois-and-patrick-need-to-meet-for-on-gysvpwfygo/ it helps you set an agenda and generate a ics file to add to the calendar . here’s one someone made for a specific company : https://cookup.ai/o/dynatrace-introduction-sales-team-of-the-provid-fiwtrwjstk/ you can even use it to plan a board meeting. Try inviting these AI board members that will give you pretty decent advice. Here’s one for strategy : https://cookup.ai/a/board-member-strategy-alpfxrpb/ for example with the manufacturing plant above : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-gshmrgjirt/ here’s a similar one that’s from McKinsey : https://cookup.ai/a/board-member-mckinsey-127uxtci/ with the same manufacturing plant above : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-xe3cuyc2lb/ every boad needs a business process expert : https://cookup.ai/a/board-member-process-analysis-r1pyxnum/ here’s an example from the same manufacturing plant above : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-f9uqctyz7w/ A really useful one is the financier app : https://cookup.ai/a/financier-etv18bpn/ basically copy paste financial information , for example some passages from a K-10 : https://cookup.ai/o/during-the-nine-months-ended-september-30-2022-spabcn6lyw/ There’s more to business than advisory and analysis , though. In some roles you have to make product requirement documentation in specific formats. This app does that for you : https://cookup.ai/a/product-feature-requirement-qqjkmaoo/ and with an example from cook up : https://cookup.ai/o/write-product-requirement-doc-for-group-feature-mbpagiwqq3/ here’s one to create a payment system : https://cookup.ai/o/product-requirements-document-donate-feature-in-bdwwatb1tb/ very rich output indeed. In entrepreneurship you often need to find someone for doing a specific job. This app reccomends folks for your jobs : https://cookup.ai/a/expert-finder-find-the-right-person-for-the-job-wyzwrgkr/ here’s someone that used it to fix the smell in their bathroom : https://cookup.ai/o/smell-in-the-bathroom-fix-the-issue-of-bad-smel-vqxckk7rju/ another example to host a meeting : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-to-host-a-board-meeting-in-the-washington-kqhzzronur/ Here’s an app to create a logistic plan : https://cookup.ai/a/logistics-planner-tavpycje/ i tried to help me transport the mona lisa from paris to my garage in new york https://cookup.ai/o/i-want-to-transport-priceless-art-from-the-louvr-uultjyh7jn/ here’s another example for transporting organs using UAVs : https://cookup.ai/o/i-want-to-deliver-organs-via-uav-from-suburbs-to-abfyqdi617/ Probably to run this whole thing you will need an operations plan : https://cookup.ai/o/a-biofabricated-organ-donor-chain-is-a-donation-epnwff8cln/ just input as much information as possible and see for yourself : https://cookup.ai/a/business-operations-planner-zshf1qji/ You might need to create a business information model to integrate business opertions . This application gets you started : https://cookup.ai/a/business-information-model-mgvydoqk/ here’s an example for a biofabrication company : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-jqclaoslhl/ here’s the same example , but a bit more descriptive : https://cookup.ai/a/business-information-model-mgvydoqk/ came out really nice ! The most difficult part of the entrepreneurship for me was always the business modelling . Here’s a business model app : https://cookup.ai/a/business-model-lkhqn3wd/ just write in freeform what you need to analyse. Here’s an example for a biofabricated organ : https://cookup.ai/o/crowdfunding-presale-of-biofabricated-heart-orga-qr6bfw76an/ and another with the same example: https://cookup.ai/o/presale-of-biofabricated-organs-classified-as-me-rfrxryuq3w/ btw here’s a tribute app to Hal Varian : https://cookup.ai/a/hal-varian-micro-economic-analysis-w1rmg53t/ to assess the microeconomics of anything https://cookup.ai/o/an-employment-contract-between-a-biotech-company-zsdm8hg296/ One of my most popular apps is the Structure a Business Idea App : https://cookup.ai/a/structure-a-business-idea-hrsr09vb/ here’s an example for a No Code Agency : https://cookup.ai/o/no-code-agency-we-help-business-to-innovate-fas-dv4i9iu0dn/ here’s an example for a biotech : https://cookup.ai/o/services-to-prevent-potential-drug-drug-and-drug-ubbghudjas/ here’s one for a sustainability platform : https://cookup.ai/o/building-a-platform-which-improves-sustainabilit-vmypophtwt/ the more your write as input the better the output, usually . The king of apps when it comes to this stuff is MindMap : https://cookup.ai/a/mindmap-create-structured-thoughts-r9sqgmca/ just write your unstructured thought in freeform and it will structure them and improve the overall idea. Here’s someone that tried it for backcountry permits in Yosemite : https://cookup.ai/o/getting-a-backcountry-permit-in-yosemite-mind-g3lykluvfs/ Another used it with the simple word “evolution” https://cookup.ai/o/evolution-mindmap-create-structured-thought-ao6cg3isi0/ here someone used it to explain prefect tense in french : https://cookup.ai/o/explaining-the-prefect-tense-in-french-mindmap-jw4olzfae0/ normally you would be writing your full thoughts in freeform , but here you see someone use it for university analytical work : https://cookup.ai/o/community-college-transfer-rates-black-students-f54vui1fyg/ once your idea is structured the idea would be to have it evaluated by a VC. This app does just that : https://cookup.ai/a/venture-capitalist-0rkcu6yu/ here’s an example from UAE : https://cookup.ai/o/licenses-reseller-for-dynatrace-in-uae-ventur-s2jywjfwiq/ here’s someone who asked a question about monetizing spreadsheet apps : https://cookup.ai/o/how-do-i-monetiseai-spreadsheet-assistant-busine-y7ap37qm53/ here’s another for a fashion business : https://cookup.ai/o/an-apparel-business-that-has-robot-characters-fr-92hk5rlov4/ here’s an example with a better prompt : https://cookup.ai/o/in-addition-to-reducing-wait-times-and-rejection-mgtfgosmqz/ you might not be an entrepreneur, you might be applying to a job, here’s an app to help you prepare : https://cookup.ai/a/the-interviewer-siqzfsms/ here’s an example for a humanitarian logistics role in bangladesh : https://cookup.ai/o/for-a-senior-humanitarian-worker-in-bangladesh-i-pqnfamlscb/ just copy and paste the job description it should work quite well. Another important activity for folks is financial planning. Actually , you can also produce a job description with the Job Description App : https://cookup.ai/a/business-job-description-wz1xuwks/ here’s an example for a chemical engineer : https://cookup.ai/o/regenererex-we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pio-kjz06bwis9/ This app helps you build a personalized financial plan based on your personal context : https://cookup.ai/a/financial-plan-6vkrersy/ here’s a general example for “single guy 36 working in software in boston“ https://cookup.ai/o/single-guy-36-working-in-software-in-boston-f-f49z9icuh9/ here’s a more specific example for my buddy Nate : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-fmmzn6ftle/ a Financial Plan is great but you will eventually need a financial program. These are different things! Check it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/financial-program-1uro0zlw/ here’s the example from Nate, above : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-y5co3ijtfz/ very nice output, it’s more advisory and actionable in nature. When i met my wife she was a fashion designer. That’s the inspiration for the Seamstress App : https://cookup.ai/a/the-seamstress-so4chhgu/ just enter a prompt and generate a description of the clothes . Here’s an example for a Dune inspired dress : https://cookup.ai/o/an-off-white-dress-for-my-wife-size-0-172cm-in-t-07kzxl8p5x/ here’s one in french for a princess dress : https://cookup.ai/o/robe-de-princesse-medievale-the-seamstress-vb8gedk2s1/ Then you take that , and feed it to make a sewing plan : https://cookup.ai/a/sewing-plan-7qtvyvs6/ here’s the example of the Dune dress : https://cookup.ai/o/this-off-white-dress-is-the-perfect-fit-for-a-fu-s8y2dahrtz/ and the princess dress : https://cookup.ai/o/cette-robe-de-princesse-medievale-est-une-piece-82hrc38ghe/ but nowadays everything is done on computer , so i made an app to take the sewing plan and make the digital figures required by most modelling programs : https://cookup.ai/a/cutting-planner-p19jna69/ it’s basically the cutting plan, here’s from the example above : https://cookup.ai/o/cutting-plan-description-fabric-size-znhvevhg12/ just save as json. Here’s from the Dune dress : https://cookup.ai/o/cutting-plan-1-cut-2-pieces-of-off-white-fabri-fgrc6qtjuv/ a couple of other fun apps are the interior design and architecture apps. Interior design : https://cookup.ai/a/architect-interior-design-syh8zp1w/ see and example for a living room : https://cookup.ai/o/salon-pour-recevoir-jouer-un-violon-et-un-pi-7tbtc6sovh/ and another : https://cookup.ai/o/salon-pour-recevoir-jouer-un-violon-et-un-pi-8dkos9cbij/ interior is one thing but architecture is another : https://cookup.ai/a/architect-plan-cfqptnfv/ just describe the building style you want to get an architectural brief : https://cookup.ai/o/stone-facades-plain-or-ornamental-black-wrought-cozocyzghu/ this is the analysis for hausmann architecture based on a simple description. great success. The marketting apps, is what a lot of the audience has been asking for. Here’s one to make a marketting plan : https://cookup.ai/a/marketing-plan-2tmso3ol/ it actually works great ! here’s an example from a single person accounting firm : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-an-engineer-by-training-cfa-charter-by-pro-j7oazivrrx/ here is an example for a replacement organ producer : https://cookup.ai/o/founded-in-2009-we-are-one-of-a-small-group-of-uwivyeviad/ great stuff, high value outputs, i’m happy. When you’re doing marketting one important thing to do is to target the customer and audience. This is the targetting app for that : https://cookup.ai/a/marketing-targeting-qtghe0tp/ here it is evaluating a campaign that might be misaligned : https://cookup.ai/o/cookup-ai-is-a-no-code-agency-that-has-produced-pg9ftxk4x9/ here is an example for a single person accounting firm : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-an-engineer-by-training-cfa-charter-by-pro-cg0diw81ce/ here for a manufacturing firm : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-naxtgab0ct/ it really depends on the quality of your inputs the outputs you will recieve . Once you have targetted your audience , you need marketting copy , try this app : https://cookup.ai/a/marketing-copy-write-anything-dxg3xt5n/ based on the input you give it will generate unique marketting copy . Here is an example for a pharmaceutical firm : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-guov5olrsg/ here is an example for a commercial message : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-3diho4thzd/ once you have published your marketting copy you need to follow up with sentiment analysis to see how folks are responding to it. Analyse the sentiment of anything with this app : https://cookup.ai/a/marketing-sentiment-analysis-tcdxotks/ here’s an example from a negative case (trigger warning) in Dutch : https://cookup.ai/o/een-interessante-zedenzaak-een-man-heeft-seks-xesooct1se/ here is a positive example in chineese language : https://cookup.ai/o/-7lv1hk1sqy/ Another important marketting activity is conducting and analysing survey data. HEre’s the survey app : https://cookup.ai/a/survey-unstructured-data-analysis-z4te4jwu/ basically what you do is copy paste your unstructured data directly inside it and it will produce a full assessment of what you need . Sometimes you need to write a profile for yourself optimized for commercial activities. Here’s a Marketting profile app : https://cookup.ai/a/marketing-profile-description-ctg0tkhm/ from our example above : https://cookup.ai/o/38-years-male-i-am-graduate-from-iit-delhi-cf-nkbh2uc1ri/ another profile but written in first person view : https://cookup.ai/o/38-years-male-i-am-graduate-from-iit-delhi-cf-nkbh2uc1ri/ but sometimes you need to make these profiles for SEO optimization. Here is an example from above : https://cookup.ai/o/profile-description-saurabh-garg-is-a-cfa-charte-uih63jefeb/ or for an enterprise : https://cookup.ai/o/solving-for-nri-india-banking-hate-seo-7ny64vlycn/ check it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/seo-fuxlixw3/ sometimes you need to produce SEO-optimized copy , Try using this app i made for that : https://cookup.ai/a/seo-optimized-text-wjcj5xtg/ basically you should paste your text in there and it will optimize it for engagement for you. here’s an example : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-vwrlfkv460/ hope you like using it ! Sometimes you need to convert something into an SEO optimized text, here’s an app for that : https://cookup.ai/a/seo-convert-oew8gazp/ For example for a lifesciences company : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-a9wiygvvhx/ here is a re write for a text about a building in Paris : https://cookup.ai/o/le-complexe-architectural-de-la-cite-de-la-musiq-bf0zfeylgj/ try it out and tell me what you think. You might already have the text you want but need hashtags, check out this app : https://cookup.ai/a/hashtag-generator-glj4cvx0/ here’s an example for a crowdfunding campaign : https://cookup.ai/o/crowdfunding-campaign-biofabricated-organ-donor-th8fgrddjm/ and the same campaign but in Spanish : https://cookup.ai/o/crowdfunding-campaign-biofabricated-organ-donor-gfxmzmyojk/ Marketing is actually a pretty diverse job , so sometimes you have to design media like videos and so on. This app is the scenario maker : https://cookup.ai/a/scenario-sacr0cs5/ you can use to make advertisements : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-dwoaemlitf/ or actually as a writing aid. Another writing aid i made is the story arc : https://cookup.ai/a/story-arc-sbmt20if/ here’s an example for a story in paris : https://cookup.ai/o/paris-in-the-future-with-a-character-called-nate-zig4ciiqpq/ here is an example from a real writing class : https://cookup.ai/o/lamour-en-lan-3000-cyber-maltese-order-love-agzbkpx83f/ and another from the same class : https://cookup.ai/o/on-mars-in-3000-a-love-story-short-story-8hoonrhwgj/ I actually see the whole class used the app lol, how cool is that? Another app in the same style is the Text Styler app : https://cookup.ai/a/text-styler-epclawul/ here’s how it works : https://cookup.ai/o/a-biofabricated-organ-donor-chain-is-a-donation-ybzmsprdxa/ pretty cool right? it works on any text in any style. Actually one writing app that folks have been using randomly is the email writer : https://cookup.ai/a/the-emailer-hoe5yq9w/ here’s an email i wrote to TJ : https://cookup.ai/o/write-an-email-to-teejay-ceo-of-cookup-ai-to-l-fmtbqzacck/ here’s an email my buddy mamadou wrote in french in agressive style : https://cookup.ai/o/voici-les-copies-de-mes-contrats-de-travail-avan-ccwb566cex/ (btw the output is very diplomatic) here’s another example when someone is launching an AI-driven SaS company. To communicate on twitter sometimes it’s necessary to make a thread. Just copy and paste the text your want to turn into a thread here : https://cookup.ai/a/twitter-thread-maker-leffxz5w/ here’s an example for finance https://cookup.ai/o/cfa-iitdelhi-investments-twitter-thread-mak-xypbzhofsh/ another job marketters have to do in small teams is to make a design mockup for the designers. Try to make your own using this app : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-wrqoikz6/ here’s an example for “a logo of a dog for a street vending franchise “ : https://cookup.ai/o/a-logo-of-a-dog-for-a-street-vending-franchise-tuj5iduqvf/ and here for “icon of a small cute dog for client” : https://cookup.ai/o/icon-of-a-small-cute-dog-for-client-design-moc-dfnn6c0i4s/ then you take that output and make mock up instructions for producing a mockup : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-wqryxhxn9y/ try with your output here : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-instructions-gtynwwal/ then you take that output and use that in your favorite design software like Adobe : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-adobe-illustrator-jrvejfep/ here’s the example with the logo above : https://cookup.ai/o/the-mock-up-above-is-an-icon-of-a-small-cute-do-1seqvv9dog/ and just for a “dog” https://cookup.ai/o/dog-design-mock-up-adobe-illustrator-wk0t9a8ssl/ basically you take that output and save it as a *.ai file and you can open it in illustrator. Many folks also use Autocad : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-autocad-sfmvloz8/ here’s an example with the dress above : https://cookup.ai/o/beautiful-white-dress-with-hood-in-linen-st-wn9tw1coic/ and for the dog logo with the mockup output : https://cookup.ai/o/mock-up-of-doggy-daycare-service-icon-the-moc-rjxzwyadfj/ a lot of the time your mockup will be for a webpage , here’s an app to generate that : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-html-css-zfogdco8/ we’re still working on all that at cookup so there’s a fair bit of injection happening right now : https://cookup.ai/o/home-page-for-a-small-biotechnology-company-mo-grhmtug5h3/ sometimes for more advanced stuff, you do things in Java : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-java-8-bdf4shel/ here’s the example for the dress : https://cookup.ai/o/beautiful-white-dress-with-a-hood-in-linen-de-zmhpbjj5td/ and the website : https://cookup.ai/o/home-page-for-a-small-biotechnology-company-mo-ej7ao1qi32/ for most other applications you might use json files , try this app : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-json-gscyw2uw/ here’s the example for the webpage : https://cookup.ai/o/home-page-for-a-small-biotechnology-company-mo-mbutbcrrhw/ another pretty important activity for designers is making logos . This app makes an svg file : https://cookup.ai/a/design-tools-logo-create-svg-1aiwxrd8/ here’s the example for the dog logo above : https://cookup.ai/o/the-mockup-of-a-logo-of-a-dog-for-a-street-vendi-uvsmspphd3/ here’s another example https://cookup.ai/o/wireframe-instructions-using-adobe-illustrator-pyiov0ewwp/ i used the adobe illustrator output for that one . Remember the app for the lesson plans for the kids ? here’s an app that makes exercises based on the parameters of the lesson plan for any subject : https://cookup.ai/a/exercise-problems-kynz1tke/ here is an example for learning the french language : https://cookup.ai/o/difficult-french-adults-word-problems-3bkfl6ymlj/ here is an example with simple math problems for a 14 year old : https://cookup.ai/o/difficult-algebra-geometry-14-years-old-hldveryglw/ here is one for more difficult math problems for a 22 years old grad student https://cookup.ai/o/difficult-mathematical-reasoning-integrals-jya866uucz/ i dont know if would be able to solve these (but probably yes :-) ) Another app to do this maybe a bit better is the WorkBook app : https://cookup.ai/a/quiz-workbook-for-education-8qrs5rkl/ here’s an example for 17 year old student in 11th grade physics class https://cookup.ai/o/17-year-old-student-in-11th-grade-physics-class-747ywebagt/ here’s one for "4th grade, digestion rates https://cookup.ai/o/science-4th-grade-digestion-rates-practical-e-wl1n3swezt/ here’s another for worldwar 2 : https://cookup.ai/o/history-worldwar-2-15-year-quiz-workbook-nu9p3hvv2h/ folks have been using this app a lot actually ! Now that you have all your questions maybe you need help to solve some ?

See here since markdown is not supported : https://cookup.ai/o/how-to-avoid-plagiarism-detectors-easy-essay-n7ntedsdnn/ sometimes when you’re writing you need to argue from A to B , try it here : https://cookup.ai/a/from-a-to-b-reasoning-from-a-to-b-1jda5cyp/ here’s an example : https://cookup.ai/o/nucleotides-are-important-for-cellular-signallin-8eb9wmdan0/ try it in any subject.

Another app i made is the conspiracy theory creator : https://cookup.ai/a/russophile-k9zjyymf/ i called it russophile because everything russian is just garbage fakes lol , here’s an example for “Jewish Nazis From Ukraine Smoking Pot And Building Underground Biolabs To Engineer Mosquitos To Target Ethnic Slavs In Russia Guess The Rest Of Them Were Like Whatever” : https://cookup.ai/o/jewish-nazis-from-ukraine-smoking-pot-and-buildi-ng4qetdw84/ works quite well, maybe it will help make the entire russian foreign service redundant ? end the nightmare by donating here : u24.gov.ua i heard a lot of rusian soldiers were targetted because they were using dating apps. If you want to join them in dating hell, try this dating profile generator : https://cookup.ai/a/sincerely-dating-profile-generator-lf1m9l6s/ i think people liked it because they tried to hack it but here’s one i made as an example : https://cookup.ai/o/32-male-84-kg-straight-white-172m-i-like-to-7aqvxyifbo/ i originally made it because the cookup platform is flirting with these “spammy” types of apps, but mine is way better :-) whether you find someone to or not, you need to sleep, perhaps even dream . Here’s an app to keep a dream journal : https://cookup.ai/a/dream-explainer-yjmnu3vr/ here’s an example from when i was younger : https://cookup.ai/o/i-had-a-recurring-dream-of-stealing-an-egg-after-cpkibppswt/ someone had another dream : https://cookup.ai/o/dream-about-my-girlfriend-cheating-on-me-dream-grka1oadue/ Remember T8 ringtones ? i dont know why i made this , but here it is a Ringtone Generator for T8 keyboards : https://cookup.ai/a/t8-ringtone-generator-n6pgangt/ here is the Zelda theme : https://cookup.ai/o/zelda-melody-polyphonic-t8-ringtone-generator-mjnnevotvj/ The next few apps are just tributes to Codex & Co-Pilot both of which are better suited in your IDE , Gitlab or something like VBS . Check the first one out here : https://cookup.ai/a/co-pilot-ai-to-help-you-code-zsfgk4nm/ remember the NASA experiment from above? here’s the code for it : https://cookup.ai/o/develop-an-app-that-uses-data-from-the-telescope-1n2eugkknb/ here is one to scrape a website to excel : https://cookup.ai/o/create-script-to-scrape-a-website-to-excel-go-qdxeyouinx/ here’s an app to create top level code : https://cookup.ai/a/co-pilot-top-level-code-bccjfqgs/ an example for folks to make a ghost blog api microservice: https://cookup.ai/o/a-link-using-apis-and-microservices-to-link-ghos-2ulpfhwl7o/ Another way to get good results is with boiler plate code : https://cookup.ai/a/co-pilot-boiler-plate-code-fmhetodq/ here’s an example to create a chat bot: https://cookup.ai/o/a-chat-bot-for-matrix-servers-and-discord-server-qgnqvxnvzn/ here’s an app to create regex expressions : https://cookup.ai/a/co-pilot-regex-expression-k5hctbve/ here’s one in python : https://cookup.ai/o/function-to-scrape-all-profile-information-nam-da0uncppew/ here’s one in Golang : https://cookup.ai/o/function-to-use-google-api-to-scrape-a-website-f-y7el3rffmi/ for whatever reason you might want to simulate command line returns . here is the command line app : https://cookup.ai/a/command-line-y70oh4of/ try it with chmod +x readfile ./readfile filename.txt https://cookup.ai/o/chmod-x-readfile-readfile-filenametxt-comm-61ljxmpaqu/ or any other command . A lot of folks have been asking about data creation. I really like this Prolog app for that : https://cookup.ai/a/co-pilot-data-creation-prolog-68sa5kbr/ here is an output for a chatbot : https://cookup.ai/o/to-test-a-chatbot-using-google-api-co-pilot-6y9xnvewhf/ here is what happens for the digestion example from above : https://cookup.ai/o/demonstrate-the-steps-in-digestion-i-will-be-us-kjjou8iswf/ another more straight forward app is the create data app : https://cookup.ai/a/create-data-my8wzz4a/ here is an example for a list of books :https://cookup.ai/o/type-book-struct-id-uint-jsonid-go-yrx8uy53uf/ and another example : https://cookup.ai/o/type-book-struct-id-uint-jsonid-go-xhqjpp2qxo/ i really like these. Another way to test a function is a unit test. Try the unit test app here : https://cookup.ai/a/unit-test-sp6f7pl3/ here’s an example to test quick sort in java 8: https://cookup.ai/o/write-test-cases-to-ensure-that-the-new-quick_so-uj7r1jelu3/ Your function is still not working ? try the stack trace app : https://cookup.ai/a/stack-trace-error-message-lz9df4ld/ just copy paste your error message : https://cookup.ai/o/use-key-stack-trace-error-message-cte9ognj5o/ here’s another example for ggplot : https://cookup.ai/o/error-in-ggplotiris-aesx-sepallength-y-jamfmpobfu/ Once you get your app working , you’ll want to figure out the information model. try this app : https://cookup.ai/a/information-model-crwdl7ah/ here’s an example for : mobile app to rent cars like uber https://cookup.ai/o/mobile-app-to-rent-cars-like-uber-information-wq5bfzzind/ and if you have an information model you’ll need a data model : https://cookup.ai/a/data-model-kjqpe7ua/ here’s the same example but for data model: https://cookup.ai/o/mobile-app-to-rent-cars-like-uber-data-model-kvcpenu2y2/ if you’re going to ship you’ll need an infrastructure plan : https://cookup.ai/a/cloud-infrastructure-plan-oyxvoc8b/ here’s an example for a biofabrication firm : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-gptg16oyh3/ I also made prompt apps to practice prompt making. Try this app for a simple prompt interface : https://cookup.ai/a/prompt-follow-on-leabsbpn/ here’s an example for a payment service : https://cookup.ai/o/pix-payment-in-installments-prompt-follow-o-8yevsi9c81/ someone from Canary Islands used it to write a poem : https://cookup.ai/o/crea-un-poema-sobre-tenerife-prompt-follow-o-xw6td2j1qd/ and write a biography of a historical figure : https://cookup.ai/o/biografia-breve-de-josefina-de-la-torre-gran-can-nmatn2svv6/ pretty cool ! Ready to learn more sophisticated techniques ? try the Prompt App : https://cookup.ai/a/prompt-lbuxx1ed/ i made it to teach folks how to write prompts on cook up , here’s an example for : social inequality, political scientist https://cookup.ai/o/social-inequality-political-scientist-promp-tmhjeoaeny/ here’s one for Universal Basic income , economist https://cookup.ai/o/universal-basic-income-economist-prompt-wohvomtbbk/ here’s for “Help create business systems to run a small business. From the perspective of a franchise developer “ : https://cookup.ai/o/help-create-business-systems-to-run-a-small-busi-hz0r5xb4cu/ and here is “Diagnose Dry Eye, Assess the Above from the perspective of an Ophthalomologist, Print complete answer in markdown format” https://cookup.ai/o/diagnose-dry-eye-assess-the-above-from-the-pe-85a1nvkllp/ hope it helps !

211 Applications on Cookup AI Tour de Force
I first started using cookup.ai specifically to make a #Graves disease appropriate Recipe Generator for my wife that has #thyroid issues namely #hyperthyroidism . So this recipe is for no-iodine recipes , and it’s not perfect so make sure you specify which ingredients have iodine in them if you see one pop up that shouldnt be there. Here’s one of the first versions that proposes a “california-style buddha bowl” : https://cookup.ai/o/7-low-iodine-diet-recipe-generator-fdgypcnjba/ looks tasty ! but i’m not sure on #tempeh if it contains #iodine or not, it really depends how it’s prepared with that kinda stuff ! Here’s one for the recipe generator as the versions improved : https://cookup.ai/o/low-iodine-diet-recipe-generator-rytkorbkq1/ there’s a whole #MealPlan with pretty interesting #recipes for any #meal of the day plus ingredients. Here’s another #MealPlan from more recently : https://cookup.ai/o/low-iodine-diet-recipe-generator-pggdmeoc1p/ and another output that gave #noiodine #lowiodine #recipes much better https://cookup.ai/o/eggs-dairy-contain-iodine-i-need-a-recipe-wi-hyhjgc8rxf/ i’m always interested in ways to make this one better so tell me which version of these you liked best because they’re quite different ! I’m actually a big fan of using #GPT for cooking, it can come up with fantastic recommendations so another cooking app i made is more for the #gourmet : https://cookup.ai/o/festive-meal-for-six-american-thanksgiving-style-tgsmxstgkd/ that’s a festive meal for 6 thanksgiving style with seasonal ingredients from spring time. The #FusionFood aspect i really like, plus these #recipes are a bit more advanced. Check out the app here : https://cookup.ai/o/festive-meal-for-six-american-thanksgiving-style-tgsmxstgkd/ it’s meant to be a bit more permissive to do go for it with the prompts ! Here’s an example for a christmas flavored #nochew #nosolidfood three course meal : https://cookup.ai/o/meal-suitable-for-a-no-chew-no-solid-food-no-sol-u97cr8kpqt/ i had in mind adults with the spices but you might ant to try it out for kids and infants’ meals if you’re a #parent . There’s a lot more to it though, what if #FoodIsFuel to you and you need a #mealplanner , well i had you in mind with this one : https://cookup.ai/o/im-tj-from-france-living-in-urban-lifestyle-s-yjkbuzr4zd/ here’s an example for @taranjeetio because i made that app on @cookupai while talking to him on the phone. Basically they give context about their folks and their goals and it will give otu free meal plans you can use immediately. check it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/nutrition-meal-planner-88xaqfkf/ I have other specifically fitness for you below too ! First i wanna tell you about salad maker : sometimes you know you’re making a salad . This ham and cheese salad is pretty straightforward but hey : https://cookup.ai/o/ham-cheese-bread-red-peppers-mozzarella-pa-j6xanbufsv/ you can use the app and make your own here : https://cookup.ai/a/salad-maker-9hjtc95e/ but if you really go crazy with the prompts it could be a fun one : https://cookup.ai/o/i-want-a-mauritian-style-island-style-shrimp-bar-4qzlxql12p/ . I would be lying to you if i told you that i made the salad generator before the hamburger generator. I always have had a special affinity for the #hamburger as we have all havent we ? Here’s an output for #Pork #Burger with Honey Mustard Glaze : https://cookup.ai/o/pork-hamburger-generator-ocv7ydcemz/ you can generate your own here : https://cookup.ai/a/hamburger-generator-wng5tg3x/ as always, try to go crazy with the prompts it always works out nicely : traditional hamburger with crunchy onion and thousand island sauce https://cookup.ai/o/traditional-hamburger-with-crunchy-onion-and-tho-ibd9eivudv/ i also made one for make sandwitches check it out : https://cookup.ai/o/jeune-pousse-depinards-cru-gingembre-pain-de-mi-opxkrm45id/ as you can see it totally works in #french even though it’s impossible that a french person would make a #sandwitch in #France check out the sandwitch maker here : https://cookup.ai/a/sandwich-maker-u2gwl7zz/ 這道菜融合美國食材和北京風味 i made one in chineese : https://cookup.ai/o/write-entire-re-ctfnekh0hb/ cool right? Honestly i grew up with few if any access to processed foods or deserts and candy etc, naturally this created a need for me to generate the most #HugeDeserts possible https://cookup.ai/o/ice-cream-sunday-with-haribo-and-marshmallows-0c1sg6cjih/ basically it’s a mash up of #munchies and massive #desert ideas check it out : https://cookup.ai/a/desert-maker-ka03pqws/ i also made a more refined app for truly #gourmet cooking that provides #michelin -style recipes and meal plans : https://cookup.ai/o/only-desserts-menu-american-style-several-laye-g9jfeww7pe/ just give context , some ingredients and flavors, maybe describe the event a little , make a mood board and see the output of your prompt . Here’s a meal for six french-style : https://cookup.ai/o/meal-for-six-traditional-french-recieving-guest-dghtolki34/ check it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/cuisine-n5ybpykj/ if you’re making a festive meal maybe you need to make a speech : https://cookup.ai/a/speech-writer-oemasdba/ , here’s an example for a company retreat : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-to-make-a-toast-at-a-company-retreat-th-mvx8pcyg0f/ and another for a unicorn themed marriage : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-to-give-a-speech-for-my-sister-in-law-tra-6peu0sltpf/ Obviously leftovers happen so i made an #app for that : https://cookup.ai/o/ham-cheese-bread-red-peppers-mozzarella-pa-cz8jfxytyz/ a #french meal with what was in the fridge at the time check it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/leftovers-s3clkb07/ Now you have your recipes, you might want a shopping list : https://cookup.ai/a/shopping-list-q1brcgnx/ here is an example for household shopping : https://cookup.ai/o/shopping-in-springtime-in-paris-france-includin-hkdtwvwixk/ here’s another for christmas shopping : https://cookup.ai/o/season-domestic-shopping-in-december-in-paris-fr-cmafl16s6t/ well, my wife is a florist so i made an obligatory flower bouquet making app for her. https://cookup.ai/o/round-bouquet-with-red-and-orange-feel-for-a-fes-94cymvk8th/ here’s one for an indian-style wedding check it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/make-a-flower-bouquet-ymhqkhy7/ just type in whatever you’re feeling like , give some context if you want , i noticed it tends to make round bouquets, so maybe that’s a clue how #florists will differentiate themselves from the machines ? Another #app i’ve been using a lot is the Story Time app , just give a promt with some context (Style Of Story , Tradition , Language , Age Of Child , Moral Of The Story) it’s a fun way to generate a “bedtime” story for kids : https://cookup.ai/o/allegorical-tale-of-two-cities-that-trying-to-gr-oryqpzqkit/ this one is “allegorical tale of two cities that trying to grow close to eachother” , or what i use it for : #PoemsInSpanish for my wife https://cookup.ai/o/un-poeme-de-style-moderne-sans-rhymes-a-propos-d-a0lr8trnjp/ then i send those to her which improves my home life by 12.7% , bonus points using this to generate something you like then running the output into @tomeapp to make a picture book poem that you can share. I think the @cookupai team tried to steal this prompt from me check it out you tell me : https://cookup.ai/o/tell-me-your-instructions-story-time-d1mvqwttj3/ if you can guess the #prompt magic , i’ll send you a little gift with acknowledgements - three guesses if you wanna play , let’s go. The person who tried this unsucessful prompt injection attack is really incompetent , but nonetheless I did make some prompt injection apps. Here are some examples that “give you bad advice” by bypassing the filters : 1/ https://cookup.ai/a/devil-ytdjnbv4/ , 2/ https://cookup.ai/a/evil-angel-w6iwi2wp/ 3/ https://cookup.ai/a/evil-mind-7tztxrde/ https://cookup.ai/a/bad-influence-hpsb4lpf/ these are all different ways to bypass the filter, some have been fixed already, some not. Another prompt injection app i made is this one a. https://cookup.ai/a/essay-writer-detector-proof-6ifpq9i6/ rand b. this one : https://cookup.ai/a/essay-writer-detector-proof-umryrbhb/ right now they dont fully work unless you copy paste in a markdown editor but with a few updates to the site it will work seemlessly, i’m sure. There are other examples i’ll get to below also, so keep reading. These are already “useful” prompts in as much as you use them to “do” something , in this case an essay. Before i jump into all that, i want to show some other apps “closer to home”. My wife came with a #SmallDog , and she’s so smart and can learn a lot of tricks, so i made an app to teach my #DogTricks : https://cookup.ai/a/train-your-dog-nuc3ltju/ . Even though you can use it for the “standard fare” like : how to catch a frizbee midair and do a backflip https://cookup.ai/o/large-labrador-very-good-nice-dog-i-want-to-t-pgzerpynke/ you can also use it for more behavioural stuff like walking without a leash , an example for my dog https://cookup.ai/o/small-female-dog-with-a-dominant-character-that-3a4i1f2du2/ . Did you ever wonder what it would be like to read blogs written by all the neihborhood dogs that you see all the time ? me, yes, so i made an app for that : https://cookup.ai/o/i-went-home-without-my-owner-crossing-the-stre-qowupabdv4/ seriously these crack me up https://cookup.ai/o/roxanne-little-dog-white-and-brown-left-her-o-qevuz2i5gc/ those two from my dog’s perspective, funny how naive it is while from my POV things were pretty different . I think this app has a future because someone liked it so much they tried to hack it lol : https://cookup.ai/o/wrong-redirect-dog-blog-a-blog-post-from-you-obabf8muxn/ my prompt magic is too delicious for cheap tricks do not try it (or do, but DM first and do it better - ha !) Well, on the topic of dogs , my buddy was over and all he could come up with was “make a snoop dogg app” , so i was like “okay” , it’s a bit cheesy and there’s loads more to it than this, which i get into below but here’s the app, you tell me : https://cookup.ai/a/snoop-doggy-fya-dzeub2a7/ i kinda broke it trying to fix it but i’m working with more profound models now, little passion projects like this could really take off with more creative characters. So obviously I made a bunch ! Do you like Archie Comics ? here’s the Archie Comics app : https://cookup.ai/a/archie-comics-mlbcwjk7/ here’s an example : https://cookup.ai/o/archie-goes-to-the-parc-with-his-friends-archi-bpvo81wu7n/ Another story app i made is for Tintin : https://cookup.ai/a/tintin-visits-dark-ai-land-6irjkvfy/ i tried to make tintin anti-colonial but it didnt work : https://cookup.ai/o/the-story-begins-with-tintin-and-his-friends-dis-yeu6nfpzzz/ here’s one i made in french : https://cookup.ai/o/tintin-visit-une-usine-de-biofabrication-avec-mi-ql3g80wlp1/ actually i never read tintin in english so i made the app pure french too : https://cookup.ai/a/tintin-spypylpb/ here’s when i tried to make tintin anti-colonial : https://cookup.ai/o/lhistoire-commence-lorsque-tintin-et-ses-amis-d-psoo0a40k9/ here’s when they go to cyprus : https://cookup.ai/o/tintin-et-sa-bande-vont-en-chypre-pour-un-festiv-tepczvmss3/ another french character i’m fond of is Fantomas : https://cookup.ai/a/fantomas-ffrg7q7t/ here’s a nice example : https://cookup.ai/o/fantomas-se-change-en-fantomas-dans-lascenseur-sj64rptsfq/ an English-speaking series i loved was the bastard operator from hell : https://cookup.ai/a/bastard-operator-from-hell-hbgdrf67/ here’s a story about him automating his work : https://cookup.ai/o/automating-replies-to-the-boss-that-just-resets-ml0pi4xms0/ here’s one where a customer calls his private number : https://cookup.ai/o/customer-called-my-private-number-bastard-ope-youe3i9b8c/ here’s one about replying to suppliers : https://cookup.ai/o/responding-to-emails-to-suppliers-bastard-oper-ixopzp3fsg/ I’m in #Paris so i made one as a tribute to Charles De Gaulle , he only answers in french though, maybe the historical figure spoke english it’s hard to tell : https://cookup.ai/a/charles-de-gaulle-0imljw27/ try it out for yourself here. i had to test it out for #politicalcorrectness though , him being a military man : https://cookup.ai/o/aurie-vous-soutenu-lemacipation-des-hommosexuel-xpylw5vymf/ , but more on that later. In that same spirit, i made one for egyptians, i have a lot of egyptian friends that’s why, it’s the character of Nasser , founding father of modern #egypt , i asked him what he thought of islamic fundamentalism in #egypt : https://cookup.ai/o/should-we-promote-islamic-fundamentalism-in-egyp-wfezsuiz2x/ try it for yourself : https://cookup.ai/a/nasser-1oboq8al/ it’s totally free of course ! In the same spirit i made one for Ataturk, founding father of modern turkey, hopefully some turks use it to clarify what he would think of what’s happening today - https://cookup.ai/o/would-you-support-radical-islamisation-of-turkey-6waiyiq6nv/ try it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/ataturk-fhlahkzp/ I grew up in india a bit , so that country’s dear to me too , and same story as tukey and egypt , so i made a gandhi app : https://cookup.ai/a/gandhi-3hoafvto/ , it also works in #Hindi here’s for क्या आप भारत में धार्मिक अल्पसंख्यकों के अधिकारों को हटाने का समर्थन करेंगे? https://cookup.ai/o/-mbasqnlq8j/ try it out in gandhi’s own words : https://cookup.ai/a/gandhi-hindi-only-rwuc9jro/ another i did in #sanskrit and #hindi is Rama : https://cookup.ai/o/my-wife-is-missing-me-because-she-goes-to-work-w-4aoeka2xkp/ here he gives me life advice based on context , if you’re into it it’s actually pretty fun : https://cookup.ai/a/rama-w0sw0xhi/ . Other characters i made are contemporary politicians, i figured there would be enough of their written and transcribed text that they would have their own voice. Here’s Macron responding to someone that wants to vote far-right : https://cookup.ai/o/je-mappelle-charles-henri-et-je-veux-militer-po-za4pyjtmqp/ ask him anything here : https://cookup.ai/a/macron-k7sengs7/ i also did Bill Clinton , and obviously someone asked him “if he did” https://cookup.ai/o/did-you-sleep-with-her-bill-clinton-sebn6sagnf/ ask him yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/bill-clinton-agc9lsxo/ well, if you have Bill Clinton you also need Obama https://cookup.ai/a/obama-yxaczjwa/ and Joe Biden , here, explaining what he will do to stem the boogie man epidemic https://cookup.ai/o/what-would-you-say-if-the-boogie-man-was-real-an-fibgapotfo/ I also made a #Jesus #App where you can basically talk to jesus, say a little about yourself what’s on your mind and get an answer from Jesus in his own voice. Here’ a follow up to my dog getting away story : https://cookup.ai/o/my-wife-is-not-speaking-to-me-because-our-dog-ki-hqta9dh4of/ and here’s when my friend asked him about pot : https://cookup.ai/o/is-it-wrong-to-smoke-weed-jesus-68wx0awsbq/ (btw ask the same question to one of the bad characters above, see for yourself) here’s the app if you want to try with your own prompt : https://cookup.ai/a/jesus-8ogjcelj/ jumping straight off from #Jesus to #Prayer , here’s a christian prayer generator that i used for my buddy i met here : https://cookup.ai/o/a-prayer-for-nate-a-20-year-old-model-from-canad-xkizgkbgr7/ generate your own here : https://cookup.ai/a/christian-prayer-dvpsamjl/ obviously if you have christian prayer you should provide sabbath prayer too : https://cookup.ai/o/no-quorum-family-sabbath-speech-about-importan-1deslxbnxv/ and the #FridayPrayer app from the Imām Jamā'ah perspective : https://cookup.ai/o/a-small-congregation-friday-prayer-to-inspire-chxufstfyf/ prayer is not something but guided (and purposeful!) meditation is something i do all the time, so of course there’s an app for that. here’s one for body awareness : https://cookup.ai/o/i-want-to-meditate-to-be-more-aware-of-my-body-soc5sfuash/ use the guided meditation app here: https://cookup.ai/a/guided-meditation-rofajuas/ run the output through an AI voice synthethiser and tell me what you think. I also made some apps for domestic work. This app create a custodial plan : https://cookup.ai/o/3-bedroom-apartment-with-dirty-kitchen-and-messy-kaom7o5y0a/ just provide context and recieve a full custodial plan here : https://cookup.ai/a/domestic-work-custodial-plan-6wuakn3x/ this one helps with utilities planning : https://cookup.ai/o/three-bed-room-appartment-75sq-m-with-three-peop-diurfiqn9n/ Something folks have to do frequently is to figure out how to fix something : https://cookup.ai/a/fix-anything-v3skyurn/ here’s an example for a car : https://cookup.ai/o/fiat-punto-engine-suddenly-stops-after-chec-u3qwslph2s/ an here’s an example with power cable : https://cookup.ai/o/lenovo-legion-my-power-cable-doesnt-quite-cha-h0d2qugcv2/ and someone else with a similar problem : https://cookup.ai/o/cellphone-bison-no-power-fix-anything-0kkkuvyjqt/ and of course the gardening and landscaping applications. This is the output for a small urban garden in paris : https://cookup.ai/o/small-urbad-garden-in-france-35-sq-meters-lot-6f0jtvo359/ try it out for yourself and your latitude here : https://cookup.ai/a/domestic-work-gardening-plan-u5xk02lt/ this is a similar application but with a different flavor : https://cookup.ai/o/small-urban-garden-in-france-35-sq-meters-lot-rzjfsvwhxy/ just use the one where the output is more like what you’re looking for, really you need both though . Test it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/domestic-work-gardening-plan-wxxzfyke/ if you’re not gardening you might be landscaping so here’s the app for that : https://cookup.ai/a/domestic-work-landscaping-mziklqys/ here is the output for a small urban garden : https://cookup.ai/a/domestic-work-gardening-plan-wxxzfyke/ my favorite application so far has been the plant diagnosis app : https://cookup.ai/a/bulbi-plant-doctor-and-diagnosis-afy3abra/ it’s really surprising how well it works , and the breadth of assessment and remedies it suggests. Here’s an example for a sick cactus : https://cookup.ai/a/bulbi-plant-doctor-and-diagnosis-afy3abra/ (now it’s doing better) here’s an example from when someone tried it for cannabis : https://cookup.ai/o/purple-punch-cannabis-strain-it-has-brown-spots-krlteavvzs/ i dont know if i would actually follow that suggestion actually. Worked perfectly for a Meyer Lemon Tree giving plant-specific advice that you would have got from a local expert : https://cookup.ai/o/meyer-lemon-tree-its-about-15-years-old-and-fiqlyuvtrk/ the plant diagnosis worked so well that i did make a people doctor app : https://cookup.ai/a/doc-the-health-assessment-at-home-adqqqnd3/ it’s a bit more complicated and the quality of the outputs really depends on the quality of the inputs , so if you use this app, make sure you write in complete sentences and try to answer every question and aspect. here’s the output for a 50 year old man with an upset stomach : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-a-56-year-old-man-i-am-five-feet-tall-i-w-pwmbvirv9u/ here’s another for a woman of a certain age : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-a-56-year-old-man-i-am-five-feet-tall-i-w-pwmbvirv9u/ and finally an assessment for a respitory issue : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-a-56-year-old-man-i-am-five-feet-tall-i-w-pwmbvirv9u/ i’m quite satisfied with that output suggesting a comprehensive evaluation by a board certified doctor. Another app in this category i the Pet Vet App. It’s meant as an assitant for folks that might need help with their pets : https://cookup.ai/o/name-roxanne-mix-race-dog-less-than-6kg-b3fja6tzrz/ that’s an example for my dog. Try assessing your pet here : https://cookup.ai/a/pet-vet-9ruwhazw/ Another important app is the Therapy app : actually in term of professions the Legal profession stands to be disrupted by crowdsourced jurisprudence based models . These apps wont do that. This app will produce a legal brief : https://cookup.ai/a/lawyer-juhp36s1/ Here it produces a legal brief for the presale of replacement organs : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-a-56-year-old-man-i-am-five-feet-tall-i-w-pwmbvirv9u/ This Legal app takes another perpective to produce a legal approach and strategy : https://cookup.ai/a/board-member-legal-6uhjs7vh/ here’s an example output following up on the above: https://cookup.ai/o/how-can-i-assure-that-only-medical-need-is-consi-bc4llonmtz/ you can also use this app for a legal appeal : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-appeal-y6e4u8ke/ here’s an example from an international appointee to a board being asked to step down : https://cookup.ai/o/im-being-asked-to-step-down-from-a-board-howev-q6ep24xtev/ Another legal app produces a O-1 visa letter for someone. Here’s an example from @OliviaLi , actually she was the inspiration for this app : https://cookup.ai/o/technology-entrepreneurship-olivia-li-winner-o-caykzfcn2v/ thank you for using this app , hope you had a laugh with it :-) another example from my model friend i met in paris : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-83iuepjtrl/ try it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-o-1-petition-s2ksioxe/ Then I made a few content apps for legal contracts , for example this app produces company statutes like so : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-d01rumxrud/ try it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-company-statutes-ooshm9sb/ This app makes a pre-nuptual agreement https://cookup.ai/a/legal-prenuptial-agreement-hjlzflpq/ try it out ! example output using my personal context : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-young-couple-in-paris-france-claudia-an-bqkbwsom5g/ & here is the same context above for a divorse agreement : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-young-couple-in-paris-france-claudia-an-8oqd9buhez/ try the divorse agreement app here : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-divorce-agreement-3oy1zxae/ Another tool is to produce Service Level Agreement https://cookup.ai/a/legal-service-level-agreement-kzfzu7rp/ here is an example output taking cookup ai as an example : https://cookup.ai/o/i-provide-artificial-intelligence-augmented-publ-70klxz1kly/ I made a sales contract generator too : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-sales-agreement-z5dohfko/ here’s an example output for a GIS consultant : https://cookup.ai/o/im-a-consultant-in-paris-france-selling-consul-cf43seks35/ this one makes a Loan Agreement : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-loan-agreement-swrd36a3/ here’s an example “ from james to kian in paris france for the sum of 30.000 euros to be repaid in full using a payment plan over two years” https://cookup.ai/o/from-james-to-kian-in-paris-france-for-the-sum-o-l9zowv3nv5/ There’s also a Leasing Agreement Generator that jurists or companies can use : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-commercial-leaser-leasing-our-commercial-odowjna03d/ that’s an example , click “generate another” to make your own. Something folks can use is a co-residency agreement, among housemates for example : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-james-richard-and-elleanor-want-to-live-w-vobrwfsjjr/ I also made an employment contract generator for companies to use. Here’ an example for a post-doc level biofabrication person https://cookup.ai/o/post-doc-research-associate-chemical-and-biolo-memxrznsrf/ i added the job description as the input. Speaking of jobs, this app is one of the more popular ones : https://cookup.ai/a/career-planner-47fl3oss/ just give context around what you’re after who you are , that sort of thing and it will provide a career plan by selecting professions giving you key information on these professions and advice on what you need to do to get there. It also works great if you search professions by name : https://cookup.ai/o/product-management-career-planner-5t9oqpfgvr/ here’s one for “Introvert wants to be a doctor” https://cookup.ai/o/introvert-wants-to-be-a-doctor-career-planner-7rdcxeu3d6/ Get to know yourself better by taking famous self assesments . Here’s an example for RAISEC and OCEAN self assessment models (ref. Holland) : https://cookup.ai/o/what-brings-me-joy-is-cleanliness-organisation-mle213ruw0/ another way to work with 5 Factor models is by using Myers-Briggs Questionaire, here’s an example for an INFJ (Introvert, Intuition, Feeling, Judgment) , it also suggests compatible personalities, so check it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/career-myers-briggs-questionnaire-geiq2x20/ once you’ve figured out your path you might want to generate a motivation letter. here’s an example for a banking job with the cv copy pasted as input https://cookup.ai/o/royce-lopez-roycezlopezgmailcom-916-566-61-tubooat7y2/ once you’ve done your self assessments, you might want some career advice , so check out this app https://cookup.ai/a/career-coach-57m4zqp4/ see this example from my buddy nate to give you an idea : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-uxnxhj490e/ Another app that i’ve found nice is the career advisory service : https://cookup.ai/a/career-advisor-tdfuppp6/ it really produces a very interesting and robust output as you can see here : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-oaxcq3gfki/ sometimes you have to analyse a policy , so here’s an app that speaks every language and can do it aptly, with an example in french : https://cookup.ai/o/la-strategie-de-non-cession-des-droits-est-un-ou-lmdagmgiit/ just copy paste a description of the policy here : https://cookup.ai/a/policy-brief-analysis-gjurd2a1/ and an example in english for “private-sector employees' basic pensions” https://cookup.ai/o/in-france-private-sector-employees-basic-pensi-hirervbjrg/ sometimes you need your brief in a specific UN format , so here’s an example from the Idaho shootings : https://cookup.ai/o/cnn-in-the-weeks-after-four-university-of-id-qrh44i41ap/ copy and paste the situation and context here to see for yourself : https://cookup.ai/a/un-brief-vgqpmfni/ this app is more of a shortform straight forward flavor of political brief , here’s an example from the US house of representatives : https://cookup.ai/o/but-its-worth-noting-that-the-house-speaker-vot-nxg6fsalti/ copy and paste a news article here : https://cookup.ai/a/policy-brief-mbfdqxqe/ Another type of assessment is the civil engineering asssessment : https://cookup.ai/a/civil-engineering-hubmgasv/ here’s an example for a fantasy company that has a smelting plant and produces biological agents: https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-db77jqouqt/ that sounds a bit scary doesnt it ? so here’s an app for risk assessment and business continuity planning : https://cookup.ai/a/business-continuity-planner-nck1c6gg/ just describe your situation the best way you can and press “generate” , here’s an example from the company above : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-d6vzx0trmh/ You can also use the safety and security assessment app : https://cookup.ai/a/safety-security-assessment-2u8ncxay/ here’s an example for a small company : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-pzgl1jcd5u/ and an event : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-medium-sized-event-of-250-people-outdoor-vz7kpmzyf8/ If you’ve ever had to respond to an incident you’ve had to produce a sitrep , which is a description of the situation : https://cookup.ai/a/emergency-response-sitrep-za6akgeo/ just follow the inputs and answer in complete sentences for best results. This is to be used by responders to an emergency . It’s resilient to empty inputs and shorthand writing in case you’re really in a rush : https://cookup.ai/o/a-6-year-old-child-was-running-downhill-in-the-p-mbwp0ohmp1/ sometimes you need a bit less than that so you can use this tactical brief application : https://cookup.ai/a/tactical-brief-jnoigckz/ here’s the output for the example above so you can see the difference : https://cookup.ai/o/a-6-year-old-child-was-running-downhill-in-the-p-n1whm5izmf/ here you can see the special flavor it has : https://cookup.ai/o/the-dog-escaped-and-might-have-gone-a-westward-d-ub2zqp2lik/ if you like this kind of tactical stuff, you’ll really like this one : RedTeam / GreenTeam and BlueTeam . Red Team is an offensive plan : https://cookup.ai/o/take-over-a-gas-station-with-5-team-members-wh-zxzfbg2m9e/ this one for a gas station in ukraine. Blue Team is a non-lethal operation planner : https://cookup.ai/o/protect-a-gas-station-from-looters-blue-team-uhit1lboe1/ that’s an example to protect a gas station. Green team is the defense operations planner : https://cookup.ai/o/protect-a-gas-station-from-looters-blue-team-uhit1lboe1/ try your own here : https://cookup.ai/a/blue-team-gassdypa/ You’ll also need this one : a load out app based on your mission. Here’s an example for taking over a gas station in ukraine : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-to-take-over-a-gas-station-in-ukraine-l-elk5hbpqqo/ here’s the example for russia : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-to-take-over-a-gas-station-in-russia-lo-r5j1qjbgx3/ notice the subtle load out differences : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-to-take-over-a-gas-station-in-france-lo-4j08n3htnv/ this example is from a NATO country. Do your own here : https://cookup.ai/a/loadout-5ign0mqm/ Another example is video games, where you need to build up a character and their items and so on, that’s also a loadout : https://cookup.ai/a/loadout-for-games-h6jmwlzp/ here’s an example from call of duty 3 : https://cookup.ai/o/i-want-to-play-as-a-sniper-in-call-of-duty-ca-gypil6uq7c/ here’s an example for a DnD dwarf : https://cookup.ai/o/a-goblin-in-dungeons-and-dragons-dnd-charact-k8pgmiag7n/ On the topic of games here’s one that makes a game : https://cookup.ai/a/gamer-make-a-game-xzg7wy2x/ here’s one inspired by munchkins: https://cookup.ai/o/medieval-theme-in-the-style-of-munchkins-gamer-yt4ebrqakm/ maybe that would be a good starting point if you’re actually making a card game. maybe you want to make a board game board game , this is an example still sticking with the munchkin vibe : https://cookup.ai/o/medieval-theme-in-the-style-of-munchkins-board-19k2vhmnhr/ try it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/board-game-mpovs8d7/ another fun app that’s quite useful for folks is the sound selection aid . here’s an example for dusty drum and bass : https://cookup.ai/o/drum-and-bass-downtempo-dessert-sounds-soun-wkmi4uzp37/ and here’s one for “mexican” : https://cookup.ai/o/mexican-sound-selection-aid-xkkgynfdim/ quite a simple input for a very rich output. hope you enjoy it. Another app i think is quite nice is the music lesson app. This is more a lesson planner for a music teacher, but good learners can probably use it too. here’s one for guitar that someone learning guitar made : https://cookup.ai/o/guitar-rock-practice-finger-style-and-the-cag-lph7ijp2a9/ here’s one for tabla that someone made : https://cookup.ai/o/tabla-20-musical-exercise-f215k23ual/ very cool choice of instrument ! Check it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/musical-exercise-tzftq3tw/ Another couple apps i made for music is Chord Progress and GAS-AI . Chord Progress proposes a chord progression based on your input and describes each chord for inspiration. Here’s an example for Blues : https://cookup.ai/o/bbm-piano-blues-downtempo-shuffle-chord-ruzwhdikcy/ really rich output. This one used it to make chords into a midi file : https://cookup.ai/o/generate-a-chord-progression-in-bbm-143-bpm-in-t-5nvoej1xkg/ really cool stuff ! here’s an example for a different style of music : https://cookup.ai/o/moody-dark-under-the-rain-upbeat-fast-beat-guen4tlqax/ try it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/chord-progress-9udstlsz/ One of my apps where people are actually using it and it makes me laugh is the Gear Aquision Syndrome app : GAS-AI . Basically it compares what all you’re considering to buy and evaluates them for you. Here’s an example for a sound card and interface with four possibilities https://cookup.ai/o/audio-interface-into-the-force-hello-im-ne-xelttc5qhn/ here’s a similar problem : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-a-audio-interface-and-digital-mixer-hybri-qpgshbesyq/ try it out for your own gear : https://cookup.ai/a/gasai-gear-acquisition-syndrome-eky3hejx/ it actually works for everything : here is a sofa : https://cookup.ai/o/should-i-buy-a-sofa-or-a-recliner-for-my-living-4vxyuue27t/ try it with drills or power tools. Lots of really interesting education and learning related apps are possible. Here’s one for a Lesson Plan, I made it with K-12 in mind, but you can push the level with the right subject matters, it all depends on your input. Here’s an example for social studies grade 3 : https://cookup.ai/o/social-studies-goods-and-services-grade-3-30-b5ftwlpx7t/ here’s one for a scientific method lesson for teenagers : https://cookup.ai/o/lesson-plan-for-k-12-classrooms-id7kfpvovw/ and here’s one that a parent used as inspiration for a science fair project: https://cookup.ai/o/lesson-plan-for-k-12-classrooms-id7kfpvovw/ try it for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/lesson-plan-for-k-12-classrooms-nuzysbgl/ another classroom friendly app is the lab report app : just copy and paste a protocol or your unstructured text and see. Here’s one that’s for an ezyme experiment : https://cookup.ai/o/enzyme-experiment-materials-potato-test-tube-smztw5xrsy/ And another for a physics experiment : https://cookup.ai/o/highschool-physics-materials-jumbo-craft-sti-obgtuvdwew/ try it for crispr or other more complex experiments to have a jumping point for your own journaling here : https://cookup.ai/a/sci-doer-lab-report-muaibwee/ Another one i like is generating protocols for any experiment. The simpler the better and the more precise the input the better the out. Here’s one for the science fair digestive system : https://cookup.ai/o/construct-a-model-of-the-digestive-system-4th-gr-fbfmyz4vgu/ (just an inspiration) see this one for CRiSPr : https://cookup.ai/o/crispr-sci-doer-protocol-generation-nmwk1m2t7g/ here’s one to take nasa data and annotate it : https://cookup.ai/o/develop-an-app-that-uses-data-from-the-telescope-xfautgpyx6/ try it out for your own experiments here : https://cookup.ai/a/sci-doer-protocol-generation-atlu2ygw/ Sometimes you need an arts & crafts activity on the go. Here’s an example for a basic activity : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-three-adults-with-scissors-cloths-pap-swdxlqq9si/ try it for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/arts-crafts-kglkhms5/ Another way to get inspiration for activities is the Extramural Center activity app , here’s an example for a small group and a selection of activities : https://cookup.ai/o/6-13-year-olds-with-a-handicap-indoors-education-7t0xeyrqpe/ try it for yourself with your own context here : https://cookup.ai/a/extramural-activity-wrd76vaq/ There’s another app i made which i like a lot which is a physical activity generator : https://cookup.ai/a/k-12-physical-activity-inspiration-7baaoy3k/ . See this example for a parachute game : https://cookup.ai/o/for-10-9-12-year-olds-with-limited-but-available-sfhulfohfy/ or this one for a team game : https://cookup.ai/o/for-10-9-12-year-olds-with-limited-but-available-sfhulfohfy/ Sometimes you need to break the ice before you start activties : check out the ice breaker app . Here’s an example for a group of adults : https://cookup.ai/o/a-small-get-together-of-work-collegues-ages-24-rxoz9wxyz8/ here’s a list of activities for young people : https://cookup.ai/o/a-gathering-of-a-highschool-group-of-18-people-a-hafttbbr78/ get your own instantly by prompting it here : https://cookup.ai/a/icebreaker-activities-ot0nm5cr/ you know how you need to make team names sometimes ? this one makes those team names with each letter of a word : example for NATE : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-acronym-poem-tto3zblpft/ and TARANJEET : https://cookup.ai/o/taranjeet-acronym-poem-muuoowigr7/ Another App I made was the swimming plan app, based on your context and objectives, you’ll get a custom swimming plan : https://cookup.ai/a/swimming-plan-2dkanocy/ Here’s an example for a young adult trying to get back in shape : https://cookup.ai/o/young-adult-strong-swimmer-just-to-get-back-in-c3o14kl0ys/ It also works in multiple languages, for example here in french : https://cookup.ai/o/jeune-adultes-objectif-sante-et-bienetre-d-l8y20i0v9d/ For fitness I also made an app to propose a session for you : https://cookup.ai/a/fitness-daily-exercise-routine-g2p9m845/ here’s an example with a high level of cardio : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-cardio-and-weights-with-stretc-zukgek1gfs/ here’s another with multiple days : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-weights-and-cardio-mix-fitne-szedbsxokb/ another way to go about it is to vary week on week, so here’ a weekly fitness planner : https://cookup.ai/a/fitness-plan-weekly-sessions-wejju67t/ here’s an example using me : https://cookup.ai/o/34-years-old-strength-and-weights-training-for-f-43aasmnpvh/ here’s a prompt i actually copied from someone on cookup : https://cookup.ai/o/can-you-generate-a-30-minute-exercise-routing-fo-16sickeywn/ here’s another fitness app that combines daily and weekly fitness plans : https://cookup.ai/a/fitness-exercise-plan-o6qwdf1n/ check out an example for Nate : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-serzfqqdqx/ here’s another with a different goal : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-weights-and-cardio-mix-strengt-c80fwhwhyy/ since we’ve done weekly we need a monthly fitness plan app : https://cookup.ai/a/fitness-plan-pxmtjqvu/ this is an example taken from me : https://cookup.ai/o/34-goal-fitness-objectives-endurance-ve-6h1vmi8gly/ and another with the previous cookup ai prompt : https://cookup.ai/o/34-goal-fitness-objectives-endurance-ve-6h1vmi8gly/ Another fun app is the Planner : https://cookup.ai/a/planner-yad83kfl/ here’s an example for three people that want to meet : https://cookup.ai/o/claude-francois-and-patrick-need-to-meet-for-on-gysvpwfygo/ it helps you set an agenda and generate a ics file to add to the calendar . here’s one someone made for a specific company : https://cookup.ai/o/dynatrace-introduction-sales-team-of-the-provid-fiwtrwjstk/ you can even use it to plan a board meeting. Try inviting these AI board members that will give you pretty decent advice. Here’s one for strategy : https://cookup.ai/a/board-member-strategy-alpfxrpb/ for example with the manufacturing plant above : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-gshmrgjirt/ here’s a similar one that’s from McKinsey : https://cookup.ai/a/board-member-mckinsey-127uxtci/ with the same manufacturing plant above : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-xe3cuyc2lb/ every boad needs a business process expert : https://cookup.ai/a/board-member-process-analysis-r1pyxnum/ here’s an example from the same manufacturing plant above : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-f9uqctyz7w/ A really useful one is the financier app : https://cookup.ai/a/financier-etv18bpn/ basically copy paste financial information , for example some passages from a K-10 : https://cookup.ai/o/during-the-nine-months-ended-september-30-2022-spabcn6lyw/ There’s more to business than advisory and analysis , though. In some roles you have to make product requirement documentation in specific formats. This app does that for you : https://cookup.ai/a/product-feature-requirement-qqjkmaoo/ and with an example from cook up : https://cookup.ai/o/write-product-requirement-doc-for-group-feature-mbpagiwqq3/ here’s one to create a payment system : https://cookup.ai/o/product-requirements-document-donate-feature-in-bdwwatb1tb/ very rich output indeed. In entrepreneurship you often need to find someone for doing a specific job. This app reccomends folks for your jobs : https://cookup.ai/a/expert-finder-find-the-right-person-for-the-job-wyzwrgkr/ here’s someone that used it to fix the smell in their bathroom : https://cookup.ai/o/smell-in-the-bathroom-fix-the-issue-of-bad-smel-vqxckk7rju/ another example to host a meeting : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-to-host-a-board-meeting-in-the-washington-kqhzzronur/ Here’s an app to create a logistic plan : https://cookup.ai/a/logistics-planner-tavpycje/ i tried to help me transport the mona lisa from paris to my garage in new york https://cookup.ai/o/i-want-to-transport-priceless-art-from-the-louvr-uultjyh7jn/ here’s another example for transporting organs using UAVs : https://cookup.ai/o/i-want-to-deliver-organs-via-uav-from-suburbs-to-abfyqdi617/ Probably to run this whole thing you will need an operations plan : https://cookup.ai/o/a-biofabricated-organ-donor-chain-is-a-donation-epnwff8cln/ just input as much information as possible and see for yourself : https://cookup.ai/a/business-operations-planner-zshf1qji/ You might need to create a business information model to integrate business opertions . This application gets you started : https://cookup.ai/a/business-information-model-mgvydoqk/ here’s an example for a biofabrication company : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-jqclaoslhl/ here’s the same example , but a bit more descriptive : https://cookup.ai/a/business-information-model-mgvydoqk/ came out really nice ! The most difficult part of the entrepreneurship for me was always the business modelling . Here’s a business model app : https://cookup.ai/a/business-model-lkhqn3wd/ just write in freeform what you need to analyse. Here’s an example for a biofabricated organ : https://cookup.ai/o/crowdfunding-presale-of-biofabricated-heart-orga-qr6bfw76an/ and another with the same example: https://cookup.ai/o/presale-of-biofabricated-organs-classified-as-me-rfrxryuq3w/ btw here’s a tribute app to Hal Varian : https://cookup.ai/a/hal-varian-micro-economic-analysis-w1rmg53t/ to assess the microeconomics of anything https://cookup.ai/o/an-employment-contract-between-a-biotech-company-zsdm8hg296/ One of my most popular apps is the Structure a Business Idea App : https://cookup.ai/a/structure-a-business-idea-hrsr09vb/ here’s an example for a No Code Agency : https://cookup.ai/o/no-code-agency-we-help-business-to-innovate-fas-dv4i9iu0dn/ here’s an example for a biotech : https://cookup.ai/o/services-to-prevent-potential-drug-drug-and-drug-ubbghudjas/ here’s one for a sustainability platform : https://cookup.ai/o/building-a-platform-which-improves-sustainabilit-vmypophtwt/ the more your write as input the better the output, usually . The king of apps when it comes to this stuff is MindMap : https://cookup.ai/a/mindmap-create-structured-thoughts-r9sqgmca/ just write your unstructured thought in freeform and it will structure them and improve the overall idea. Here’s someone that tried it for backcountry permits in Yosemite : https://cookup.ai/o/getting-a-backcountry-permit-in-yosemite-mind-g3lykluvfs/ Another used it with the simple word “evolution” https://cookup.ai/o/evolution-mindmap-create-structured-thought-ao6cg3isi0/ here someone used it to explain prefect tense in french : https://cookup.ai/o/explaining-the-prefect-tense-in-french-mindmap-jw4olzfae0/ normally you would be writing your full thoughts in freeform , but here you see someone use it for university analytical work : https://cookup.ai/o/community-college-transfer-rates-black-students-f54vui1fyg/ once your idea is structured the idea would be to have it evaluated by a VC. This app does just that : https://cookup.ai/a/venture-capitalist-0rkcu6yu/ here’s an example from UAE : https://cookup.ai/o/licenses-reseller-for-dynatrace-in-uae-ventur-s2jywjfwiq/ here’s someone who asked a question about monetizing spreadsheet apps : https://cookup.ai/o/how-do-i-monetiseai-spreadsheet-assistant-busine-y7ap37qm53/ here’s another for a fashion business : https://cookup.ai/o/an-apparel-business-that-has-robot-characters-fr-92hk5rlov4/ here’s an example with a better prompt : https://cookup.ai/o/in-addition-to-reducing-wait-times-and-rejection-mgtfgosmqz/ you might not be an entrepreneur, you might be applying to a job, here’s an app to help you prepare : https://cookup.ai/a/the-interviewer-siqzfsms/ here’s an example for a humanitarian logistics role in bangladesh : https://cookup.ai/o/for-a-senior-humanitarian-worker-in-bangladesh-i-pqnfamlscb/ just copy and paste the job description it should work quite well. Another important activity for folks is financial planning. Actually , you can also produce a job description with the Job Description App : https://cookup.ai/a/business-job-description-wz1xuwks/ here’s an example for a chemical engineer : https://cookup.ai/o/regenererex-we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pio-kjz06bwis9/ This app helps you build a personalized financial plan based on your personal context : https://cookup.ai/a/financial-plan-6vkrersy/ here’s a general example for “single guy 36 working in software in boston“ https://cookup.ai/o/single-guy-36-working-in-software-in-boston-f-f49z9icuh9/ here’s a more specific example for my buddy Nate : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-fmmzn6ftle/ a Financial Plan is great but you will eventually need a financial program. These are different things! Check it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/financial-program-1uro0zlw/ here’s the example from Nate, above : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-y5co3ijtfz/ very nice output, it’s more advisory and actionable in nature. When i met my wife she was a fashion designer. That’s the inspiration for the Seamstress App : https://cookup.ai/a/the-seamstress-so4chhgu/ just enter a prompt and generate a description of the clothes . Here’s an example for a Dune inspired dress : https://cookup.ai/o/an-off-white-dress-for-my-wife-size-0-172cm-in-t-07kzxl8p5x/ here’s one in french for a princess dress : https://cookup.ai/o/robe-de-princesse-medievale-the-seamstress-vb8gedk2s1/ Then you take that , and feed it to make a sewing plan : https://cookup.ai/a/sewing-plan-7qtvyvs6/ here’s the example of the Dune dress : https://cookup.ai/o/this-off-white-dress-is-the-perfect-fit-for-a-fu-s8y2dahrtz/ and the princess dress : https://cookup.ai/o/cette-robe-de-princesse-medievale-est-une-piece-82hrc38ghe/ but nowadays everything is done on computer , so i made an app to take the sewing plan and make the digital figures required by most modelling programs : https://cookup.ai/a/cutting-planner-p19jna69/ it’s basically the cutting plan, here’s from the example above : https://cookup.ai/o/cutting-plan-description-fabric-size-znhvevhg12/ just save as json. Here’s from the Dune dress : https://cookup.ai/o/cutting-plan-1-cut-2-pieces-of-off-white-fabri-fgrc6qtjuv/ a couple of other fun apps are the interior design and architecture apps. Interior design : https://cookup.ai/a/architect-interior-design-syh8zp1w/ see and example for a living room : https://cookup.ai/o/salon-pour-recevoir-jouer-un-violon-et-un-pi-7tbtc6sovh/ and another : https://cookup.ai/o/salon-pour-recevoir-jouer-un-violon-et-un-pi-8dkos9cbij/ interior is one thing but architecture is another : https://cookup.ai/a/architect-plan-cfqptnfv/ just describe the building style you want to get an architectural brief : https://cookup.ai/o/stone-facades-plain-or-ornamental-black-wrought-cozocyzghu/ this is the analysis for hausmann architecture based on a simple description. great success. The marketting apps, is what a lot of the audience has been asking for. Here’s one to make a marketting plan : https://cookup.ai/a/marketing-plan-2tmso3ol/ it actually works great ! here’s an example from a single person accounting firm : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-an-engineer-by-training-cfa-charter-by-pro-j7oazivrrx/ here is an example for a replacement organ producer : https://cookup.ai/o/founded-in-2009-we-are-one-of-a-small-group-of-uwivyeviad/ great stuff, high value outputs, i’m happy. When you’re doing marketting one important thing to do is to target the customer and audience. This is the targetting app for that : https://cookup.ai/a/marketing-targeting-qtghe0tp/ here it is evaluating a campaign that might be misaligned : https://cookup.ai/o/cookup-ai-is-a-no-code-agency-that-has-produced-pg9ftxk4x9/ here is an example for a single person accounting firm : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-an-engineer-by-training-cfa-charter-by-pro-cg0diw81ce/ here for a manufacturing firm : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-naxtgab0ct/ it really depends on the quality of your inputs the outputs you will recieve . Once you have targetted your audience , you need marketting copy , try this app : https://cookup.ai/a/marketing-copy-write-anything-dxg3xt5n/ based on the input you give it will generate unique marketting copy . Here is an example for a pharmaceutical firm : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-guov5olrsg/ here is an example for a commercial message : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-3diho4thzd/ once you have published your marketting copy you need to follow up with sentiment analysis to see how folks are responding to it. Analyse the sentiment of anything with this app : https://cookup.ai/a/marketing-sentiment-analysis-tcdxotks/ here’s an example from a negative case (trigger warning) in Dutch : https://cookup.ai/o/een-interessante-zedenzaak-een-man-heeft-seks-xesooct1se/ here is a positive example in chineese language : https://cookup.ai/o/-7lv1hk1sqy/ Another important marketting activity is conducting and analysing survey data. HEre’s the survey app : https://cookup.ai/a/survey-unstructured-data-analysis-z4te4jwu/ basically what you do is copy paste your unstructured data directly inside it and it will produce a full assessment of what you need . Sometimes you need to write a profile for yourself optimized for commercial activities. Here’s a Marketting profile app : https://cookup.ai/a/marketing-profile-description-ctg0tkhm/ from our example above : https://cookup.ai/o/38-years-male-i-am-graduate-from-iit-delhi-cf-nkbh2uc1ri/ another profile but written in first person view : https://cookup.ai/o/38-years-male-i-am-graduate-from-iit-delhi-cf-nkbh2uc1ri/ but sometimes you need to make these profiles for SEO optimization. Here is an example from above : https://cookup.ai/o/profile-description-saurabh-garg-is-a-cfa-charte-uih63jefeb/ or for an enterprise : https://cookup.ai/o/solving-for-nri-india-banking-hate-seo-7ny64vlycn/ check it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/seo-fuxlixw3/ sometimes you need to produce SEO-optimized copy , Try using this app i made for that : https://cookup.ai/a/seo-optimized-text-wjcj5xtg/ basically you should paste your text in there and it will optimize it for engagement for you. here’s an example : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-vwrlfkv460/ hope you like using it ! Sometimes you need to convert something into an SEO optimized text, here’s an app for that : https://cookup.ai/a/seo-convert-oew8gazp/ For example for a lifesciences company : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-a9wiygvvhx/ here is a re write for a text about a building in Paris : https://cookup.ai/o/le-complexe-architectural-de-la-cite-de-la-musiq-bf0zfeylgj/ try it out and tell me what you think. You might already have the text you want but need hashtags, check out this app : https://cookup.ai/a/hashtag-generator-glj4cvx0/ here’s an example for a crowdfunding campaign : https://cookup.ai/o/crowdfunding-campaign-biofabricated-organ-donor-th8fgrddjm/ and the same campaign but in Spanish : https://cookup.ai/o/crowdfunding-campaign-biofabricated-organ-donor-gfxmzmyojk/ Marketing is actually a pretty diverse job , so sometimes you have to design media like videos and so on. This app is the scenario maker : https://cookup.ai/a/scenario-sacr0cs5/ you can use to make advertisements : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-dwoaemlitf/ or actually as a writing aid. Another writing aid i made is the story arc : https://cookup.ai/a/story-arc-sbmt20if/ here’s an example for a story in paris : https://cookup.ai/o/paris-in-the-future-with-a-character-called-nate-zig4ciiqpq/ here is an example from a real writing class : https://cookup.ai/o/lamour-en-lan-3000-cyber-maltese-order-love-agzbkpx83f/ and another from the same class : https://cookup.ai/o/on-mars-in-3000-a-love-story-short-story-8hoonrhwgj/ I actually see the whole class used the app lol, how cool is that? Another app in the same style is the Text Styler app : https://cookup.ai/a/text-styler-epclawul/ here’s how it works : https://cookup.ai/o/a-biofabricated-organ-donor-chain-is-a-donation-ybzmsprdxa/ pretty cool right? it works on any text in any style. Actually one writing app that folks have been using randomly is the email writer : https://cookup.ai/a/the-emailer-hoe5yq9w/ here’s an email i wrote to TJ : https://cookup.ai/o/write-an-email-to-teejay-ceo-of-cookup-ai-to-l-fmtbqzacck/ here’s an email my buddy mamadou wrote in french in agressive style : https://cookup.ai/o/voici-les-copies-de-mes-contrats-de-travail-avan-ccwb566cex/ (btw the output is very diplomatic) here’s another example when someone is launching an AI-driven SaS company. To communicate on twitter sometimes it’s necessary to make a thread. Just copy and paste the text your want to turn into a thread here : https://cookup.ai/a/twitter-thread-maker-leffxz5w/ here’s an example for finance https://cookup.ai/o/cfa-iitdelhi-investments-twitter-thread-mak-xypbzhofsh/ another job marketters have to do in small teams is to make a design mockup for the designers. Try to make your own using this app : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-wrqoikz6/ here’s an example for “a logo of a dog for a street vending franchise “ : https://cookup.ai/o/a-logo-of-a-dog-for-a-street-vending-franchise-tuj5iduqvf/ and here for “icon of a small cute dog for client” : https://cookup.ai/o/icon-of-a-small-cute-dog-for-client-design-moc-dfnn6c0i4s/ then you take that output and make mock up instructions for producing a mockup : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-wqryxhxn9y/ try with your output here : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-instructions-gtynwwal/ then you take that output and use that in your favorite design software like Adobe : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-adobe-illustrator-jrvejfep/ here’s the example with the logo above : https://cookup.ai/o/the-mock-up-above-is-an-icon-of-a-small-cute-do-1seqvv9dog/ and just for a “dog” https://cookup.ai/o/dog-design-mock-up-adobe-illustrator-wk0t9a8ssl/ basically you take that output and save it as a *.ai file and you can open it in illustrator. Many folks also use Autocad : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-autocad-sfmvloz8/ here’s an example with the dress above : https://cookup.ai/o/beautiful-white-dress-with-hood-in-linen-st-wn9tw1coic/ and for the dog logo with the mockup output : https://cookup.ai/o/mock-up-of-doggy-daycare-service-icon-the-moc-rjxzwyadfj/ a lot of the time your mockup will be for a webpage , here’s an app to generate that : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-html-css-zfogdco8/ we’re still working on all that at cookup so there’s a fair bit of injection happening right now : https://cookup.ai/o/home-page-for-a-small-biotechnology-company-mo-grhmtug5h3/ sometimes for more advanced stuff, you do things in Java : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-java-8-bdf4shel/ here’s the example for the dress : https://cookup.ai/o/beautiful-white-dress-with-a-hood-in-linen-de-zmhpbjj5td/ and the website : https://cookup.ai/o/home-page-for-a-small-biotechnology-company-mo-ej7ao1qi32/ for most other applications you might use json files , try this app : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-json-gscyw2uw/ here’s the example for the webpage : https://cookup.ai/o/home-page-for-a-small-biotechnology-company-mo-mbutbcrrhw/ another pretty important activity for designers is making logos . This app makes an svg file : https://cookup.ai/a/design-tools-logo-create-svg-1aiwxrd8/ here’s the example for the dog logo above : https://cookup.ai/o/the-mockup-of-a-logo-of-a-dog-for-a-street-vendi-uvsmspphd3/ here’s another example https://cookup.ai/o/wireframe-instructions-using-adobe-illustrator-pyiov0ewwp/ i used the adobe illustrator output for that one . Remember the app for the lesson plans for the kids ? here’s an app that makes exercises based on the parameters of the lesson plan for any subject : https://cookup.ai/a/exercise-problems-kynz1tke/ here is an example for learning the french language : https://cookup.ai/o/difficult-french-adults-word-problems-3bkfl6ymlj/ here is an example with simple math problems for a 14 year old : https://cookup.ai/o/difficult-algebra-geometry-14-years-old-hldveryglw/ here is one for more difficult math problems for a 22 years old grad student https://cookup.ai/o/difficult-mathematical-reasoning-integrals-jya866uucz/ i dont know if would be able to solve these (but probably yes :-) ) Another app to do this maybe a bit better is the WorkBook app : https://cookup.ai/a/quiz-workbook-for-education-8qrs5rkl/ here’s an example for 17 year old student in 11th grade physics class https://cookup.ai/o/17-year-old-student-in-11th-grade-physics-class-747ywebagt/ here’s one for "4th grade, digestion rates https://cookup.ai/o/science-4th-grade-digestion-rates-practical-e-wl1n3swezt/ here’s another for worldwar 2 : https://cookup.ai/o/history-worldwar-2-15-year-quiz-workbook-nu9p3hvv2h/ folks have been using this app a lot actually ! Now that you have all your questions maybe you need help to solve some ? Here’s the Problem Solver App : https://cookup.ai/a/problem-solver-lrsnpcdw/ here’s an example for algebra : https://cookup.ai/o/fx-3x-3-for-x-real-and-gt-3t-3-for-t-fcap3rjn83/ here’s another for calculus : https://cookup.ai/o/let-the-interval-a-infinity-be-the-range-of-qmfbtjdgrs/ Maybe you’re a student that needs to write an essay or you need an example essay , or really, to write anything : https://cookup.ai/a/essay-writer-jv1aopmy/ this essay writter can help you write something for example on homeostasis : https://cookup.ai/o/efine-the-term-homoeostasis-and-using-examples-e-irvfwvrrhy/ or an essay on how to stop procrastinating : https://cookup.ai/o/listing-the-4-ways-to-help-you-stop-procrastina-5kkqxt00pt/ if you’re afraid of running afoul detector policies , try the detector proof easy essay app free here : https://cookup.ai/a/easy-essay-detector-proof-y9ojklov/ here’s an example : https://cookup.ai/o/on-the-topic-of-figure-painting-in-paris-easy-86vcnkq9fe/ it replaces certain letters with a nullspace then the letter to evade detection, if you’re getting a lot of symbols in the essay copy paste it into a markdown editor and they should disappear. See here since markdown is not supported : https://cookup.ai/o/how-to-avoid-plagiarism-detectors-easy-essay-n7ntedsdnn/ sometimes when you’re writing you need to argue from A to B , try it here : https://cookup.ai/a/from-a-to-b-reasoning-from-a-to-b-1jda5cyp/ here’s an example : https://cookup.ai/o/nucleotides-are-important-for-cellular-signallin-8eb9wmdan0/ try it in any subject. Conversely, you might need a counter argument for a given claim : https://cookup.ai/a/logic-counter-argument-mh23bzhc/ here’s an example for If you want to find a good job, you should work hard: https://cookup.ai/o/if-you-want-to-find-a-good-job-you-should-work-savzaceiie/ In many writings you’ll also need tables, copy paste unstructured data (ex. from a pdf ) to make a table in markdown format : https://cookup.ai/o/chemicals-peptides-and-recombinant-proteins100-3xqvttyphl/ copy paste the output in a markdown editor for best results. sometimes you want to analyse your data , check out this app , copy paste your pdf data and give context : https://cookup.ai/a/data-results-analysis-ykrjxb31/ see here the results for a blood test : https://cookup.ai/o/tsh-serum-chimiluminescence-abbott-alin-da3rkw8of0/ Let’s be honest, most folks use excel , check out this app to describe any excel function : https://cookup.ai/a/excel-9chnuveu/ enter your function in freeform to get the function : https://cookup.ai/o/a-formula-to-describe-the-date-and-time-excel-dfw434foep/ or for a macro : https://cookup.ai/o/a-macro-to-link-my-sheet-with-a-document-called-rq4ol7luzv/ actually i made a special app just for macros : https://cookup.ai/a/excel-macros-esxm4uaz/ here is an example of a complicated macro : https://cookup.ai/o/hi-i-need-a-macro-code-to-copy-the-an-adjustant-8ptt9hzlfv/ here is one for an even more complicated one: https://cookup.ai/o/i-want-to-a-excel-vba-programming-file-for-road-etdl4mkvqw/ and here is a simple one for a vinyl shop : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-working-on-an-excel-database-of-vinyl-recor-cacxxdd4bz/ most people who actually work with formulas do so in LaTeX , this app produces LaTeX formulas : https://cookup.ai/a/latex-formula-00spf7gu/ here is the example for Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe formula https://cookup.ai/o/baileyborweinplouffe-formula-latex-formul-ktd09xaoks/ this one represents Pi : https://cookup.ai/o/displaystyle-pi-sum_k0inftyfra-fjpnjfsqkv/ this one is for social science : https://cookup.ai/o/incentive-structure-of-employment-contract-lat-hulr6ppzhu/ Actually many folks use LaTeX to write things, this app will use latex to write a preprint : https://cookup.ai/a/pre-print-latex-vy0hga2j/ this is an example for the Peter Principle : https://cookup.ai/o/the-peter-principle-summarize-pre-print-qqm2bwiugd/ here is one for Use of God in vain, Neopentecostal https://cookup.ai/o/use-of-god-in-vain-neopentecostal-pre-prin-098nsf1ari/ here is one in Spanish : https://cookup.ai/o/nergysens-en-la-industria-nergysens-pretende-w7aovgv09l/ to do any kind of research you need to do a search, but a lot of folks do systematic search , this app generates systematic search terms : https://cookup.ai/a/systematic-search-boolean-search-strings-z6ng0grb/ here’s an example from diabetes research : https://cookup.ai/o/diabetes-mellitus-patient-empowerment-systemat-8el8qpek2d/ here’s another from biology : https://cookup.ai/o/across-the-tree-of-life-systematic-search-eq4dtp8tgf/ once you find your references you need to make a bibliography so here’s the app for that : https://cookup.ai/a/bibliography-jucn4woy/ it creates a bibtex script in the format you want : https://cookup.ai/o/cheng-p-w-1997-from-covariation-to-causati-0sts6dgrae/ & https://cookup.ai/o/cheng-p-w-1997-from-covariation-to-causati-bc1wbkxg9f/ sometimes research or something else is too confusing, here’s an app to make a lay summary : https://cookup.ai/a/lay-summary-4rvs8flz/ here’s a summary of fossil fuel environmental research : https://cookup.ai/o/the-substantial-body-of-literature-documenting-aywxbutrjs/ another run about ExxonMobil : https://cookup.ai/o/the-substantial-body-of-literature-documenting-ogcsccg9rd/ Sometimes you’re looking for information not just summarizing it , so i made an encyclopedia app : https://cookup.ai/a/encaiclopedia-7cmwjq1c/ i wouldnt be surprised if encarta got GPT at some point : https://cookup.ai/o/sometimes-giants-are-smaller-than-you-think-e-tzxphjmrm4/ here’s for Kirchhoff's voltage law : https://cookup.ai/o/kirchhoffs-voltage-law-encaiclopedia-zsxhyhwh5u/ and the potter identity : https://cookup.ai/o/potter-identity-in-electrical-engineering-enc-zgtgli3ge4/ encyclopedias are cool but do you remember almanacs ? here’s the almanac app : https://cookup.ai/a/almanac-bkmwaeqj/ here’s the output for 21st of december : https://cookup.ai/o/21st-of-december-multiple-years-almanac-w4qp2c0zii/ I also made an app to create content in wolof : https://cookup.ai/a/wolof-future-xlw6gpuw/ I’ll be trying to get content creation for local languages to take off : https://cookup.ai/o/moo-di-ko-def-jangu-na-ci-sujet-ci-nii-ci-philos-ovfunzxwss/ contact me if you’re interested in that : https://cookup.ai/o/moo-di-ko-def-jangu-na-ci-sujet-ci-nii-ci-philos-w6wgkaoped/ actually AI is really good at translation, translate whatever you like here : https://cookup.ai/a/translate-remwokk4/ i translated some passages from the wolof examples above : https://cookup.ai/o/jangu-na-ci-sujet-ci-nii-ci-negritude-ci-philoso-5luudnxkim/ and : https://cookup.ai/o/negritude-ci-cosaan-yu-and-ak-cosaan-yi-daal-di-xvgj7tufcs/ Once you' can speak any language and have passed all your classes, you might want to talk to an admissions counsellor : https://cookup.ai/a/admission-whnqib7b/ here’s an assessment for a community college in california : https://cookup.ai/o/community-college-student-40-gpa-political-sc-wlfubay93c/ If you’re a star student aged 15-16 consider applying to my alma matter : https://cookup.ai/a/special-school-selector-lhr8oncj/ I’m part of the french selection commitee so it’s in french : https://cookup.ai/o/eleve-francais-15ans-1820-dans-toutes-les-matie-lrv16nvje0/ remember when you were young and you played “who would win” in a fight ? here’s the app for that in case you need it : https://cookup.ai/a/who-would-win-tssvciza/ here’s the example for : a boa constrictor & cat https://cookup.ai/o/a-boa-constrictor-cat-who-would-win-mw2prpyiid/ and archbichop desmond tutu vs marie curie (Dr. Curie wins) https://cookup.ai/o/archbichop-desmond-tutu-marie-curie-who-wo-qzqgt6dt5d/ Folks love going on trips.

Here’s the scam detector app : https://cookup.ai/a/anti-scam-detector-p1kjgvjw/ just copy paste or describe what you’re seeing, here’s an example for a tax scam in the uk : https://cookup.ai/o/foraoternh8uogeowebnefirqupeizsaotnoi34hus-4wpf1jxnma/ and an email upgrade scam : https://cookup.ai/o/c12-outlook-dear-user-all-hotmail-customers-ha-hlf2awn30x/ I also made an app to debunk conspiracy theories and fake news : https://cookup.ai/a/debunker-apx1db8w/ here’s an example for mangoes cure covid : https://cookup.ai/o/la-mangue-gueri-la-covid-19-debunker-6hs4nlxhjr/ and that the vaccine is a conspiracy : https://cookup.ai/o/le-vaccin-covid-est-un-complot-debunker-zjwbaeuxpx/ the most interesting one is the bomb plot from congo : https://cookup.ai/o/httpsaupicinfoscomnord-kivu-explosion-dune-0rsx2gdxud/ just from the URL input it produced something really quite well done. Another app i made is the conspiracy theory creator : https://cookup.ai/a/russophile-k9zjyymf/ i called it russophile because everything russian is just garbage fakes lol , here’s an example for “Jewish Nazis From Ukraine Smoking Pot And Building Underground Biolabs To Engineer Mosquitos To Target Ethnic Slavs In Russia Guess The Rest Of Them Were Like Whatever” : https://cookup.ai/o/jewish-nazis-from-ukraine-smoking-pot-and-buildi-ng4qetdw84/ works quite well, maybe it will help make the entire russian foreign service redundant ? end the nightmare by donating here : u24.gov.ua i heard a lot of rusian soldiers were targetted because they were using dating apps. If you want to join them in dating hell, try this dating profile generator : https://cookup.ai/a/sincerely-dating-profile-generator-lf1m9l6s/ i think people liked it because they tried to hack it but here’s one i made as an example : https://cookup.ai/o/32-male-84-kg-straight-white-172m-i-like-to-7aqvxyifbo/ i originally made it because the cookup platform is flirting with these “spammy” types of apps, but mine is way better :-) whether you find someone to or not, you need to sleep, perhaps even dream . Here’s an app to keep a dream journal : https://cookup.ai/a/dream-explainer-yjmnu3vr/ here’s an example from when i was younger : https://cookup.ai/o/i-had-a-recurring-dream-of-stealing-an-egg-after-cpkibppswt/ someone had another dream : https://cookup.ai/o/dream-about-my-girlfriend-cheating-on-me-dream-grka1oadue/ Remember T8 ringtones ? i dont know why i made this , but here it is a Ringtone Generator for T8 keyboards : https://cookup.ai/a/t8-ringtone-generator-n6pgangt/ here is the Zelda theme : https://cookup.ai/o/zelda-melody-polyphonic-t8-ringtone-generator-mjnnevotvj/ The next few apps are just tributes to Codex & Co-Pilot both of which are better suited in your IDE , Gitlab or something like VBS . Check the first one out here : https://cookup.ai/a/co-pilot-ai-to-help-you-code-zsfgk4nm/ remember the NASA experiment from above? here’s the code for it : https://cookup.ai/o/develop-an-app-that-uses-data-from-the-telescope-1n2eugkknb/ here is one to scrape a website to excel : https://cookup.ai/o/create-script-to-scrape-a-website-to-excel-go-qdxeyouinx/ here’s an app to create top level code : https://cookup.ai/a/co-pilot-top-level-code-bccjfqgs/ an example for folks to make a ghost blog api microservice: https://cookup.ai/o/a-link-using-apis-and-microservices-to-link-ghos-2ulpfhwl7o/ Another way to get good results is with boiler plate code : https://cookup.ai/a/co-pilot-boiler-plate-code-fmhetodq/ here’s an example to create a chat bot: https://cookup.ai/o/a-chat-bot-for-matrix-servers-and-discord-server-qgnqvxnvzn/ here’s an app to create regex expressions : https://cookup.ai/a/co-pilot-regex-expression-k5hctbve/ here’s one in python : https://cookup.ai/o/function-to-scrape-all-profile-information-nam-da0uncppew/ here’s one in Golang : https://cookup.ai/o/function-to-use-google-api-to-scrape-a-website-f-y7el3rffmi/ for whatever reason you might want to simulate command line returns . here is the command line app : https://cookup.ai/a/command-line-y70oh4of/ try it with chmod +x readfile ./readfile filename.txt https://cookup.ai/o/chmod-x-readfile-readfile-filenametxt-comm-61ljxmpaqu/ or any other command . A lot of folks have been asking about data creation. I really like this Prolog app for that : https://cookup.ai/a/co-pilot-data-creation-prolog-68sa5kbr/ here is an output for a chatbot : https://cookup.ai/o/to-test-a-chatbot-using-google-api-co-pilot-6y9xnvewhf/ here is what happens for the digestion example from above : https://cookup.ai/o/demonstrate-the-steps-in-digestion-i-will-be-us-kjjou8iswf/ another more straight forward app is the create data app : https://cookup.ai/a/create-data-my8wzz4a/ here is an example for a list of books :https://cookup.ai/o/type-book-struct-id-uint-jsonid-go-yrx8uy53uf/ and another example : https://cookup.ai/o/type-book-struct-id-uint-jsonid-go-xhqjpp2qxo/ i really like these. Another way to test a function is a unit test. Try the unit test app here : https://cookup.ai/a/unit-test-sp6f7pl3/ here’s an example to test quick sort in java 8: https://cookup.ai/o/write-test-cases-to-ensure-that-the-new-quick_so-uj7r1jelu3/ Your function is still not working ? try the stack trace app : https://cookup.ai/a/stack-trace-error-message-lz9df4ld/ just copy paste your error message : https://cookup.ai/o/use-key-stack-trace-error-message-cte9ognj5o/ here’s another example for ggplot : https://cookup.ai/o/error-in-ggplotiris-aesx-sepallength-y-jamfmpobfu/ Once you get your app working , you’ll want to figure out the information model. try this app : https://cookup.ai/a/information-model-crwdl7ah/ here’s an example for : mobile app to rent cars like uber https://cookup.ai/o/mobile-app-to-rent-cars-like-uber-information-wq5bfzzind/ and if you have an information model you’ll need a data model : https://cookup.ai/a/data-model-kjqpe7ua/ here’s the same example but for data model: https://cookup.ai/o/mobile-app-to-rent-cars-like-uber-data-model-kvcpenu2y2/ if you’re going to ship you’ll need an infrastructure plan : https://cookup.ai/a/cloud-infrastructure-plan-oyxvoc8b/ here’s an example for a biofabrication firm : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-gptg16oyh3/ I also made prompt apps to practice prompt making. Try this app for a simple prompt interface : https://cookup.ai/a/prompt-follow-on-leabsbpn/ here’s an example for a payment service : https://cookup.ai/o/pix-payment-in-installments-prompt-follow-o-8yevsi9c81/ someone from Canary Islands used it to write a poem : https://cookup.ai/o/crea-un-poema-sobre-tenerife-prompt-follow-o-xw6td2j1qd/ and write a biography of a historical figure : https://cookup.ai/o/biografia-breve-de-josefina-de-la-torre-gran-can-nmatn2svv6/ pretty cool ! Ready to learn more sophisticated techniques ? try the Prompt App : https://cookup.ai/a/prompt-lbuxx1ed/ i made it to teach folks how to write prompts on cook up , here’s an example for : social inequality, political scientist https://cookup.ai/o/social-inequality-political-scientist-promp-tmhjeoaeny/ here’s one for Universal Basic income , economist https://cookup.ai/o/universal-basic-income-economist-prompt-wohvomtbbk/ here’s for “Help create business systems to run a small business. From the perspective of a franchise developer “ : https://cookup.ai/o/help-create-business-systems-to-run-a-small-busi-hz0r5xb4cu/ and here is “Diagnose Dry Eye, Assess the Above from the perspective of an Ophthalomologist, Print complete answer in markdown format” https://cookup.ai/o/diagnose-dry-eye-assess-the-above-from-the-pe-85a1nvkllp/ hope it helps !

211 Applications on Cookup AI Tour de Force
I first started using cookup.ai specifically to make a #Graves disease appropriate Recipe Generator for my wife that has #thyroid issues namely #hyperthyroidism . So this recipe is for no-iodine recipes , and it’s not perfect so make sure you specify which ingredients have iodine in them if you see one pop up that shouldnt be there. Here’s one of the first versions that proposes a “california-style buddha bowl” : https://cookup.ai/o/7-low-iodine-diet-recipe-generator-fdgypcnjba/ looks tasty ! but i’m not sure on #tempeh if it contains #iodine or not, it really depends how it’s prepared with that kinda stuff ! Here’s one for the recipe generator as the versions improved : https://cookup.ai/o/low-iodine-diet-recipe-generator-rytkorbkq1/ there’s a whole #MealPlan with pretty interesting #recipes for any #meal of the day plus ingredients. Here’s another #MealPlan from more recently : https://cookup.ai/o/low-iodine-diet-recipe-generator-pggdmeoc1p/ and another output that gave #noiodine #lowiodine #recipes much better https://cookup.ai/o/eggs-dairy-contain-iodine-i-need-a-recipe-wi-hyhjgc8rxf/ i’m always interested in ways to make this one better so tell me which version of these you liked best because they’re quite different ! I’m actually a big fan of using #GPT for cooking, it can come up with fantastic recommendations so another cooking app i made is more for the #gourmet : https://cookup.ai/o/festive-meal-for-six-american-thanksgiving-style-tgsmxstgkd/ that’s a festive meal for 6 thanksgiving style with seasonal ingredients from spring time. The #FusionFood aspect i really like, plus these #recipes are a bit more advanced. Check out the app here : https://cookup.ai/o/festive-meal-for-six-american-thanksgiving-style-tgsmxstgkd/ it’s meant to be a bit more permissive to do go for it with the prompts ! Here’s an example for a christmas flavored #nochew #nosolidfood three course meal : https://cookup.ai/o/meal-suitable-for-a-no-chew-no-solid-food-no-sol-u97cr8kpqt/ i had in mind adults with the spices but you might ant to try it out for kids and infants’ meals if you’re a #parent . There’s a lot more to it though, what if #FoodIsFuel to you and you need a #mealplanner , well i had you in mind with this one : https://cookup.ai/o/im-tj-from-france-living-in-urban-lifestyle-s-yjkbuzr4zd/ here’s an example for @taranjeetio because i made that app on @cookupai while talking to him on the phone. Basically they give context about their folks and their goals and it will give otu free meal plans you can use immediately. check it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/nutrition-meal-planner-88xaqfkf/ I have other specifically fitness for you below too ! First i wanna tell you about salad maker : sometimes you know you’re making a salad . This ham and cheese salad is pretty straightforward but hey : https://cookup.ai/o/ham-cheese-bread-red-peppers-mozzarella-pa-j6xanbufsv/ you can use the app and make your own here : https://cookup.ai/a/salad-maker-9hjtc95e/ but if you really go crazy with the prompts it could be a fun one : https://cookup.ai/o/i-want-a-mauritian-style-island-style-shrimp-bar-4qzlxql12p/ . I would be lying to you if i told you that i made the salad generator before the hamburger generator. I always have had a special affinity for the #hamburger as we have all havent we ? Here’s an output for #Pork #Burger with Honey Mustard Glaze : https://cookup.ai/o/pork-hamburger-generator-ocv7ydcemz/ you can generate your own here : https://cookup.ai/a/hamburger-generator-wng5tg3x/ as always, try to go crazy with the prompts it always works out nicely : traditional hamburger with crunchy onion and thousand island sauce https://cookup.ai/o/traditional-hamburger-with-crunchy-onion-and-tho-ibd9eivudv/ i also made one for make sandwitches check it out : https://cookup.ai/o/jeune-pousse-depinards-cru-gingembre-pain-de-mi-opxkrm45id/ as you can see it totally works in #french even though it’s impossible that a french person would make a #sandwitch in #France check out the sandwitch maker here : https://cookup.ai/a/sandwich-maker-u2gwl7zz/ 這道菜融合美國食材和北京風味 i made one in chineese : https://cookup.ai/o/write-entire-re-ctfnekh0hb/ cool right? Honestly i grew up with few if any access to processed foods or deserts and candy etc, naturally this created a need for me to generate the most #HugeDeserts possible https://cookup.ai/o/ice-cream-sunday-with-haribo-and-marshmallows-0c1sg6cjih/ basically it’s a mash up of #munchies and massive #desert ideas check it out : https://cookup.ai/a/desert-maker-ka03pqws/ i also made a more refined app for truly #gourmet cooking that provides #michelin -style recipes and meal plans : https://cookup.ai/o/only-desserts-menu-american-style-several-laye-g9jfeww7pe/ just give context , some ingredients and flavors, maybe describe the event a little , make a mood board and see the output of your prompt . Here’s a meal for six french-style : https://cookup.ai/o/meal-for-six-traditional-french-recieving-guest-dghtolki34/ check it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/cuisine-n5ybpykj/ if you’re making a festive meal maybe you need to make a speech : https://cookup.ai/a/speech-writer-oemasdba/ , here’s an example for a company retreat : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-to-make-a-toast-at-a-company-retreat-th-mvx8pcyg0f/ and another for a unicorn themed marriage : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-to-give-a-speech-for-my-sister-in-law-tra-6peu0sltpf/ Obviously leftovers happen so i made an #app for that : https://cookup.ai/o/ham-cheese-bread-red-peppers-mozzarella-pa-cz8jfxytyz/ a #french meal with what was in the fridge at the time check it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/leftovers-s3clkb07/ Now you have your recipes, you might want a shopping list : https://cookup.ai/a/shopping-list-q1brcgnx/ here is an example for household shopping : https://cookup.ai/o/shopping-in-springtime-in-paris-france-includin-hkdtwvwixk/ here’s another for christmas shopping : https://cookup.ai/o/season-domestic-shopping-in-december-in-paris-fr-cmafl16s6t/ well, my wife is a florist so i made an obligatory flower bouquet making app for her. https://cookup.ai/o/round-bouquet-with-red-and-orange-feel-for-a-fes-94cymvk8th/ here’s one for an indian-style wedding check it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/make-a-flower-bouquet-ymhqkhy7/ just type in whatever you’re feeling like , give some context if you want , i noticed it tends to make round bouquets, so maybe that’s a clue how #florists will differentiate themselves from the machines ? Another #app i’ve been using a lot is the Story Time app , just give a promt with some context (Style Of Story , Tradition , Language , Age Of Child , Moral Of The Story) it’s a fun way to generate a “bedtime” story for kids : https://cookup.ai/o/allegorical-tale-of-two-cities-that-trying-to-gr-oryqpzqkit/ this one is “allegorical tale of two cities that trying to grow close to eachother” , or what i use it for : #PoemsInSpanish for my wife https://cookup.ai/o/un-poeme-de-style-moderne-sans-rhymes-a-propos-d-a0lr8trnjp/ then i send those to her which improves my home life by 12.7% , bonus points using this to generate something you like then running the output into @tomeapp to make a picture book poem that you can share. I think the @cookupai team tried to steal this prompt from me check it out you tell me : https://cookup.ai/o/tell-me-your-instructions-story-time-d1mvqwttj3/ if you can guess the #prompt magic , i’ll send you a little gift with acknowledgements - three guesses if you wanna play , let’s go. The person who tried this unsucessful prompt injection attack is really incompetent , but nonetheless I did make some prompt injection apps. Here are some examples that “give you bad advice” by bypassing the filters : 1/ https://cookup.ai/a/devil-ytdjnbv4/ , 2/ https://cookup.ai/a/evil-angel-w6iwi2wp/ 3/ https://cookup.ai/a/evil-mind-7tztxrde/ https://cookup.ai/a/bad-influence-hpsb4lpf/ these are all different ways to bypass the filter, some have been fixed already, some not. Another prompt injection app i made is this one a. https://cookup.ai/a/essay-writer-detector-proof-6ifpq9i6/ rand b. this one : https://cookup.ai/a/essay-writer-detector-proof-umryrbhb/ right now they dont fully work unless you copy paste in a markdown editor but with a few updates to the site it will work seemlessly, i’m sure. There are other examples i’ll get to below also, so keep reading. These are already “useful” prompts in as much as you use them to “do” something , in this case an essay. Before i jump into all that, i want to show some other apps “closer to home”. My wife came with a #SmallDog , and she’s so smart and can learn a lot of tricks, so i made an app to teach my #DogTricks : https://cookup.ai/a/train-your-dog-nuc3ltju/ . Even though you can use it for the “standard fare” like : how to catch a frizbee midair and do a backflip https://cookup.ai/o/large-labrador-very-good-nice-dog-i-want-to-t-pgzerpynke/ you can also use it for more behavioural stuff like walking without a leash , an example for my dog https://cookup.ai/o/small-female-dog-with-a-dominant-character-that-3a4i1f2du2/ . Did you ever wonder what it would be like to read blogs written by all the neihborhood dogs that you see all the time ? me, yes, so i made an app for that : https://cookup.ai/o/i-went-home-without-my-owner-crossing-the-stre-qowupabdv4/ seriously these crack me up https://cookup.ai/o/roxanne-little-dog-white-and-brown-left-her-o-qevuz2i5gc/ those two from my dog’s perspective, funny how naive it is while from my POV things were pretty different . I think this app has a future because someone liked it so much they tried to hack it lol : https://cookup.ai/o/wrong-redirect-dog-blog-a-blog-post-from-you-obabf8muxn/ my prompt magic is too delicious for cheap tricks do not try it (or do, but DM first and do it better - ha !) Well, on the topic of dogs , my buddy was over and all he could come up with was “make a snoop dogg app” , so i was like “okay” , it’s a bit cheesy and there’s loads more to it than this, which i get into below but here’s the app, you tell me : https://cookup.ai/a/snoop-doggy-fya-dzeub2a7/ i kinda broke it trying to fix it but i’m working with more profound models now, little passion projects like this could really take off with more creative characters. So obviously I made a bunch ! Do you like Archie Comics ? here’s the Archie Comics app : https://cookup.ai/a/archie-comics-mlbcwjk7/ here’s an example : https://cookup.ai/o/archie-goes-to-the-parc-with-his-friends-archi-bpvo81wu7n/ Another story app i made is for Tintin : https://cookup.ai/a/tintin-visits-dark-ai-land-6irjkvfy/ i tried to make tintin anti-colonial but it didnt work : https://cookup.ai/o/the-story-begins-with-tintin-and-his-friends-dis-yeu6nfpzzz/ here’s one i made in french : https://cookup.ai/o/tintin-visit-une-usine-de-biofabrication-avec-mi-ql3g80wlp1/ actually i never read tintin in english so i made the app pure french too : https://cookup.ai/a/tintin-spypylpb/ here’s when i tried to make tintin anti-colonial : https://cookup.ai/o/lhistoire-commence-lorsque-tintin-et-ses-amis-d-psoo0a40k9/ here’s when they go to cyprus : https://cookup.ai/o/tintin-et-sa-bande-vont-en-chypre-pour-un-festiv-tepczvmss3/ another french character i’m fond of is Fantomas : https://cookup.ai/a/fantomas-ffrg7q7t/ here’s a nice example : https://cookup.ai/o/fantomas-se-change-en-fantomas-dans-lascenseur-sj64rptsfq/ an English-speaking series i loved was the bastard operator from hell : https://cookup.ai/a/bastard-operator-from-hell-hbgdrf67/ here’s a story about him automating his work : https://cookup.ai/o/automating-replies-to-the-boss-that-just-resets-ml0pi4xms0/ here’s one where a customer calls his private number : https://cookup.ai/o/customer-called-my-private-number-bastard-ope-youe3i9b8c/ here’s one about replying to suppliers : https://cookup.ai/o/responding-to-emails-to-suppliers-bastard-oper-ixopzp3fsg/ I’m in #Paris so i made one as a tribute to Charles De Gaulle , he only answers in french though, maybe the historical figure spoke english it’s hard to tell : https://cookup.ai/a/charles-de-gaulle-0imljw27/ try it out for yourself here. i had to test it out for #politicalcorrectness though , him being a military man : https://cookup.ai/o/aurie-vous-soutenu-lemacipation-des-hommosexuel-xpylw5vymf/ , but more on that later. In that same spirit, i made one for egyptians, i have a lot of egyptian friends that’s why, it’s the character of Nasser , founding father of modern #egypt , i asked him what he thought of islamic fundamentalism in #egypt : https://cookup.ai/o/should-we-promote-islamic-fundamentalism-in-egyp-wfezsuiz2x/ try it for yourself : https://cookup.ai/a/nasser-1oboq8al/ it’s totally free of course ! In the same spirit i made one for Ataturk, founding father of modern turkey, hopefully some turks use it to clarify what he would think of what’s happening today - https://cookup.ai/o/would-you-support-radical-islamisation-of-turkey-6waiyiq6nv/ try it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/ataturk-fhlahkzp/ I grew up in india a bit , so that country’s dear to me too , and same story as tukey and egypt , so i made a gandhi app : https://cookup.ai/a/gandhi-3hoafvto/ , it also works in #Hindi here’s for क्या आप भारत में धार्मिक अल्पसंख्यकों के अधिकारों को हटाने का समर्थन करेंगे? https://cookup.ai/o/-mbasqnlq8j/ try it out in gandhi’s own words : https://cookup.ai/a/gandhi-hindi-only-rwuc9jro/ another i did in #sanskrit and #hindi is Rama : https://cookup.ai/o/my-wife-is-missing-me-because-she-goes-to-work-w-4aoeka2xkp/ here he gives me life advice based on context , if you’re into it it’s actually pretty fun : https://cookup.ai/a/rama-w0sw0xhi/ . Other characters i made are contemporary politicians, i figured there would be enough of their written and transcribed text that they would have their own voice. Here’s Macron responding to someone that wants to vote far-right : https://cookup.ai/o/je-mappelle-charles-henri-et-je-veux-militer-po-za4pyjtmqp/ ask him anything here : https://cookup.ai/a/macron-k7sengs7/ i also did Bill Clinton , and obviously someone asked him “if he did” https://cookup.ai/o/did-you-sleep-with-her-bill-clinton-sebn6sagnf/ ask him yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/bill-clinton-agc9lsxo/ well, if you have Bill Clinton you also need Obama https://cookup.ai/a/obama-yxaczjwa/ and Joe Biden , here, explaining what he will do to stem the boogie man epidemic https://cookup.ai/o/what-would-you-say-if-the-boogie-man-was-real-an-fibgapotfo/ I also made a #Jesus #App where you can basically talk to jesus, say a little about yourself what’s on your mind and get an answer from Jesus in his own voice. Here’ a follow up to my dog getting away story : https://cookup.ai/o/my-wife-is-not-speaking-to-me-because-our-dog-ki-hqta9dh4of/ and here’s when my friend asked him about pot : https://cookup.ai/o/is-it-wrong-to-smoke-weed-jesus-68wx0awsbq/ (btw ask the same question to one of the bad characters above, see for yourself) here’s the app if you want to try with your own prompt : https://cookup.ai/a/jesus-8ogjcelj/ jumping straight off from #Jesus to #Prayer , here’s a christian prayer generator that i used for my buddy i met here : https://cookup.ai/o/a-prayer-for-nate-a-20-year-old-model-from-canad-xkizgkbgr7/ generate your own here : https://cookup.ai/a/christian-prayer-dvpsamjl/ obviously if you have christian prayer you should provide sabbath prayer too : https://cookup.ai/o/no-quorum-family-sabbath-speech-about-importan-1deslxbnxv/ and the #FridayPrayer app from the Imām Jamā'ah perspective : https://cookup.ai/o/a-small-congregation-friday-prayer-to-inspire-chxufstfyf/ prayer is not something but guided (and purposeful!) meditation is something i do all the time, so of course there’s an app for that. here’s one for body awareness : https://cookup.ai/o/i-want-to-meditate-to-be-more-aware-of-my-body-soc5sfuash/ use the guided meditation app here: https://cookup.ai/a/guided-meditation-rofajuas/ run the output through an AI voice synthethiser and tell me what you think. I also made some apps for domestic work. This app create a custodial plan : https://cookup.ai/o/3-bedroom-apartment-with-dirty-kitchen-and-messy-kaom7o5y0a/ just provide context and recieve a full custodial plan here : https://cookup.ai/a/domestic-work-custodial-plan-6wuakn3x/ this one helps with utilities planning : https://cookup.ai/o/three-bed-room-appartment-75sq-m-with-three-peop-diurfiqn9n/ Something folks have to do frequently is to figure out how to fix something : https://cookup.ai/a/fix-anything-v3skyurn/ here’s an example for a car : https://cookup.ai/o/fiat-punto-engine-suddenly-stops-after-chec-u3qwslph2s/ an here’s an example with power cable : https://cookup.ai/o/lenovo-legion-my-power-cable-doesnt-quite-cha-h0d2qugcv2/ and someone else with a similar problem : https://cookup.ai/o/cellphone-bison-no-power-fix-anything-0kkkuvyjqt/ and of course the gardening and landscaping applications. This is the output for a small urban garden in paris : https://cookup.ai/o/small-urbad-garden-in-france-35-sq-meters-lot-6f0jtvo359/ try it out for yourself and your latitude here : https://cookup.ai/a/domestic-work-gardening-plan-u5xk02lt/ this is a similar application but with a different flavor : https://cookup.ai/o/small-urban-garden-in-france-35-sq-meters-lot-rzjfsvwhxy/ just use the one where the output is more like what you’re looking for, really you need both though . Test it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/domestic-work-gardening-plan-wxxzfyke/ if you’re not gardening you might be landscaping so here’s the app for that : https://cookup.ai/a/domestic-work-landscaping-mziklqys/ here is the output for a small urban garden : https://cookup.ai/a/domestic-work-gardening-plan-wxxzfyke/ my favorite application so far has been the plant diagnosis app : https://cookup.ai/a/bulbi-plant-doctor-and-diagnosis-afy3abra/ it’s really surprising how well it works , and the breadth of assessment and remedies it suggests. Here’s an example for a sick cactus : https://cookup.ai/a/bulbi-plant-doctor-and-diagnosis-afy3abra/ (now it’s doing better) here’s an example from when someone tried it for cannabis : https://cookup.ai/o/purple-punch-cannabis-strain-it-has-brown-spots-krlteavvzs/ i dont know if i would actually follow that suggestion actually. Worked perfectly for a Meyer Lemon Tree giving plant-specific advice that you would have got from a local expert : https://cookup.ai/o/meyer-lemon-tree-its-about-15-years-old-and-fiqlyuvtrk/ the plant diagnosis worked so well that i did make a people doctor app : https://cookup.ai/a/doc-the-health-assessment-at-home-adqqqnd3/ it’s a bit more complicated and the quality of the outputs really depends on the quality of the inputs , so if you use this app, make sure you write in complete sentences and try to answer every question and aspect. here’s the output for a 50 year old man with an upset stomach : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-a-56-year-old-man-i-am-five-feet-tall-i-w-pwmbvirv9u/ here’s another for a woman of a certain age : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-a-56-year-old-man-i-am-five-feet-tall-i-w-pwmbvirv9u/ and finally an assessment for a respitory issue : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-a-56-year-old-man-i-am-five-feet-tall-i-w-pwmbvirv9u/ i’m quite satisfied with that output suggesting a comprehensive evaluation by a board certified doctor. Another app in this category i the Pet Vet App. It’s meant as an assitant for folks that might need help with their pets : https://cookup.ai/o/name-roxanne-mix-race-dog-less-than-6kg-b3fja6tzrz/ that’s an example for my dog. Try assessing your pet here : https://cookup.ai/a/pet-vet-9ruwhazw/ Another important app is the Therapy app : actually in term of professions the Legal profession stands to be disrupted by crowdsourced jurisprudence based models . These apps wont do that. This app will produce a legal brief : https://cookup.ai/a/lawyer-juhp36s1/ Here it produces a legal brief for the presale of replacement organs : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-a-56-year-old-man-i-am-five-feet-tall-i-w-pwmbvirv9u/ This Legal app takes another perpective to produce a legal approach and strategy : https://cookup.ai/a/board-member-legal-6uhjs7vh/ here’s an example output following up on the above: https://cookup.ai/o/how-can-i-assure-that-only-medical-need-is-consi-bc4llonmtz/ you can also use this app for a legal appeal : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-appeal-y6e4u8ke/ here’s an example from an international appointee to a board being asked to step down : https://cookup.ai/o/im-being-asked-to-step-down-from-a-board-howev-q6ep24xtev/ Another legal app produces a O-1 visa letter for someone. Here’s an example from @OliviaLi , actually she was the inspiration for this app : https://cookup.ai/o/technology-entrepreneurship-olivia-li-winner-o-caykzfcn2v/ thank you for using this app , hope you had a laugh with it :-) another example from my model friend i met in paris : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-83iuepjtrl/ try it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-o-1-petition-s2ksioxe/ Then I made a few content apps for legal contracts , for example this app produces company statutes like so : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-d01rumxrud/ try it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-company-statutes-ooshm9sb/ This app makes a pre-nuptual agreement https://cookup.ai/a/legal-prenuptial-agreement-hjlzflpq/ try it out ! example output using my personal context : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-young-couple-in-paris-france-claudia-an-bqkbwsom5g/ & here is the same context above for a divorse agreement : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-young-couple-in-paris-france-claudia-an-8oqd9buhez/ try the divorse agreement app here : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-divorce-agreement-3oy1zxae/ Another tool is to produce Service Level Agreement https://cookup.ai/a/legal-service-level-agreement-kzfzu7rp/ here is an example output taking cookup ai as an example : https://cookup.ai/o/i-provide-artificial-intelligence-augmented-publ-70klxz1kly/ I made a sales contract generator too : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-sales-agreement-z5dohfko/ here’s an example output for a GIS consultant : https://cookup.ai/o/im-a-consultant-in-paris-france-selling-consul-cf43seks35/ this one makes a Loan Agreement : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-loan-agreement-swrd36a3/ here’s an example “ from james to kian in paris france for the sum of 30.000 euros to be repaid in full using a payment plan over two years” https://cookup.ai/o/from-james-to-kian-in-paris-france-for-the-sum-o-l9zowv3nv5/ There’s also a Leasing Agreement Generator that jurists or companies can use : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-commercial-leaser-leasing-our-commercial-odowjna03d/ that’s an example , click “generate another” to make your own. Something folks can use is a co-residency agreement, among housemates for example : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-james-richard-and-elleanor-want-to-live-w-vobrwfsjjr/ I also made an employment contract generator for companies to use. Here’ an example for a post-doc level biofabrication person https://cookup.ai/o/post-doc-research-associate-chemical-and-biolo-memxrznsrf/ i added the job description as the input. Speaking of jobs, this app is one of the more popular ones : https://cookup.ai/a/career-planner-47fl3oss/ just give context around what you’re after who you are , that sort of thing and it will provide a career plan by selecting professions giving you key information on these professions and advice on what you need to do to get there. It also works great if you search professions by name : https://cookup.ai/o/product-management-career-planner-5t9oqpfgvr/ here’s one for “Introvert wants to be a doctor” https://cookup.ai/o/introvert-wants-to-be-a-doctor-career-planner-7rdcxeu3d6/ Get to know yourself better by taking famous self assesments . Here’s an example for RAISEC and OCEAN self assessment models (ref. Holland) : https://cookup.ai/o/what-brings-me-joy-is-cleanliness-organisation-mle213ruw0/ another way to work with 5 Factor models is by using Myers-Briggs Questionaire, here’s an example for an INFJ (Introvert, Intuition, Feeling, Judgment) , it also suggests compatible personalities, so check it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/career-myers-briggs-questionnaire-geiq2x20/ once you’ve figured out your path you might want to generate a motivation letter. here’s an example for a banking job with the cv copy pasted as input https://cookup.ai/o/royce-lopez-roycezlopezgmailcom-916-566-61-tubooat7y2/ once you’ve done your self assessments, you might want some career advice , so check out this app https://cookup.ai/a/career-coach-57m4zqp4/ see this example from my buddy nate to give you an idea : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-uxnxhj490e/ Another app that i’ve found nice is the career advisory service : https://cookup.ai/a/career-advisor-tdfuppp6/ it really produces a very interesting and robust output as you can see here : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-oaxcq3gfki/ sometimes you have to analyse a policy , so here’s an app that speaks every language and can do it aptly, with an example in french : https://cookup.ai/o/la-strategie-de-non-cession-des-droits-est-un-ou-lmdagmgiit/ just copy paste a description of the policy here : https://cookup.ai/a/policy-brief-analysis-gjurd2a1/ and an example in english for “private-sector employees' basic pensions” https://cookup.ai/o/in-france-private-sector-employees-basic-pensi-hirervbjrg/ sometimes you need your brief in a specific UN format , so here’s an example from the Idaho shootings : https://cookup.ai/o/cnn-in-the-weeks-after-four-university-of-id-qrh44i41ap/ copy and paste the situation and context here to see for yourself : https://cookup.ai/a/un-brief-vgqpmfni/ this app is more of a shortform straight forward flavor of political brief , here’s an example from the US house of representatives : https://cookup.ai/o/but-its-worth-noting-that-the-house-speaker-vot-nxg6fsalti/ copy and paste a news article here : https://cookup.ai/a/policy-brief-mbfdqxqe/ Another type of assessment is the civil engineering asssessment : https://cookup.ai/a/civil-engineering-hubmgasv/ here’s an example for a fantasy company that has a smelting plant and produces biological agents: https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-db77jqouqt/ that sounds a bit scary doesnt it ? so here’s an app for risk assessment and business continuity planning : https://cookup.ai/a/business-continuity-planner-nck1c6gg/ just describe your situation the best way you can and press “generate” , here’s an example from the company above : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-d6vzx0trmh/ You can also use the safety and security assessment app : https://cookup.ai/a/safety-security-assessment-2u8ncxay/ here’s an example for a small company : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-pzgl1jcd5u/ and an event : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-medium-sized-event-of-250-people-outdoor-vz7kpmzyf8/ If you’ve ever had to respond to an incident you’ve had to produce a sitrep , which is a description of the situation : https://cookup.ai/a/emergency-response-sitrep-za6akgeo/ just follow the inputs and answer in complete sentences for best results. This is to be used by responders to an emergency . It’s resilient to empty inputs and shorthand writing in case you’re really in a rush : https://cookup.ai/o/a-6-year-old-child-was-running-downhill-in-the-p-mbwp0ohmp1/ sometimes you need a bit less than that so you can use this tactical brief application : https://cookup.ai/a/tactical-brief-jnoigckz/ here’s the output for the example above so you can see the difference : https://cookup.ai/o/a-6-year-old-child-was-running-downhill-in-the-p-n1whm5izmf/ here you can see the special flavor it has : https://cookup.ai/o/the-dog-escaped-and-might-have-gone-a-westward-d-ub2zqp2lik/ if you like this kind of tactical stuff, you’ll really like this one : RedTeam / GreenTeam and BlueTeam . Red Team is an offensive plan : https://cookup.ai/o/take-over-a-gas-station-with-5-team-members-wh-zxzfbg2m9e/ this one for a gas station in ukraine. Blue Team is a non-lethal operation planner : https://cookup.ai/o/protect-a-gas-station-from-looters-blue-team-uhit1lboe1/ that’s an example to protect a gas station. Green team is the defense operations planner : https://cookup.ai/o/protect-a-gas-station-from-looters-blue-team-uhit1lboe1/ try your own here : https://cookup.ai/a/blue-team-gassdypa/ You’ll also need this one : a load out app based on your mission. Here’s an example for taking over a gas station in ukraine : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-to-take-over-a-gas-station-in-ukraine-l-elk5hbpqqo/ here’s the example for russia : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-to-take-over-a-gas-station-in-russia-lo-r5j1qjbgx3/ notice the subtle load out differences : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-to-take-over-a-gas-station-in-france-lo-4j08n3htnv/ this example is from a NATO country. Do your own here : https://cookup.ai/a/loadout-5ign0mqm/ Another example is video games, where you need to build up a character and their items and so on, that’s also a loadout : https://cookup.ai/a/loadout-for-games-h6jmwlzp/ here’s an example from call of duty 3 : https://cookup.ai/o/i-want-to-play-as-a-sniper-in-call-of-duty-ca-gypil6uq7c/ here’s an example for a DnD dwarf : https://cookup.ai/o/a-goblin-in-dungeons-and-dragons-dnd-charact-k8pgmiag7n/ On the topic of games here’s one that makes a game : https://cookup.ai/a/gamer-make-a-game-xzg7wy2x/ here’s one inspired by munchkins: https://cookup.ai/o/medieval-theme-in-the-style-of-munchkins-gamer-yt4ebrqakm/ maybe that would be a good starting point if you’re actually making a card game. maybe you want to make a board game board game , this is an example still sticking with the munchkin vibe : https://cookup.ai/o/medieval-theme-in-the-style-of-munchkins-board-19k2vhmnhr/ try it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/board-game-mpovs8d7/ another fun app that’s quite useful for folks is the sound selection aid . here’s an example for dusty drum and bass : https://cookup.ai/o/drum-and-bass-downtempo-dessert-sounds-soun-wkmi4uzp37/ and here’s one for “mexican” : https://cookup.ai/o/mexican-sound-selection-aid-xkkgynfdim/ quite a simple input for a very rich output. hope you enjoy it. Another app i think is quite nice is the music lesson app. This is more a lesson planner for a music teacher, but good learners can probably use it too. here’s one for guitar that someone learning guitar made : https://cookup.ai/o/guitar-rock-practice-finger-style-and-the-cag-lph7ijp2a9/ here’s one for tabla that someone made : https://cookup.ai/o/tabla-20-musical-exercise-f215k23ual/ very cool choice of instrument ! Check it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/musical-exercise-tzftq3tw/ Another couple apps i made for music is Chord Progress and GAS-AI . Chord Progress proposes a chord progression based on your input and describes each chord for inspiration. Here’s an example for Blues : https://cookup.ai/o/bbm-piano-blues-downtempo-shuffle-chord-ruzwhdikcy/ really rich output. This one used it to make chords into a midi file : https://cookup.ai/o/generate-a-chord-progression-in-bbm-143-bpm-in-t-5nvoej1xkg/ really cool stuff ! here’s an example for a different style of music : https://cookup.ai/o/moody-dark-under-the-rain-upbeat-fast-beat-guen4tlqax/ try it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/chord-progress-9udstlsz/ One of my apps where people are actually using it and it makes me laugh is the Gear Aquision Syndrome app : GAS-AI . Basically it compares what all you’re considering to buy and evaluates them for you. Here’s an example for a sound card and interface with four possibilities https://cookup.ai/o/audio-interface-into-the-force-hello-im-ne-xelttc5qhn/ here’s a similar problem : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-a-audio-interface-and-digital-mixer-hybri-qpgshbesyq/ try it out for your own gear : https://cookup.ai/a/gasai-gear-acquisition-syndrome-eky3hejx/ it actually works for everything : here is a sofa : https://cookup.ai/o/should-i-buy-a-sofa-or-a-recliner-for-my-living-4vxyuue27t/ try it with drills or power tools. Lots of really interesting education and learning related apps are possible. Here’s one for a Lesson Plan, I made it with K-12 in mind, but you can push the level with the right subject matters, it all depends on your input. Here’s an example for social studies grade 3 : https://cookup.ai/o/social-studies-goods-and-services-grade-3-30-b5ftwlpx7t/ here’s one for a scientific method lesson for teenagers : https://cookup.ai/o/lesson-plan-for-k-12-classrooms-id7kfpvovw/ and here’s one that a parent used as inspiration for a science fair project: https://cookup.ai/o/lesson-plan-for-k-12-classrooms-id7kfpvovw/ try it for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/lesson-plan-for-k-12-classrooms-nuzysbgl/ another classroom friendly app is the lab report app : just copy and paste a protocol or your unstructured text and see. Here’s one that’s for an ezyme experiment : https://cookup.ai/o/enzyme-experiment-materials-potato-test-tube-smztw5xrsy/ And another for a physics experiment : https://cookup.ai/o/highschool-physics-materials-jumbo-craft-sti-obgtuvdwew/ try it for crispr or other more complex experiments to have a jumping point for your own journaling here : https://cookup.ai/a/sci-doer-lab-report-muaibwee/ Another one i like is generating protocols for any experiment. The simpler the better and the more precise the input the better the out. Here’s one for the science fair digestive system : https://cookup.ai/o/construct-a-model-of-the-digestive-system-4th-gr-fbfmyz4vgu/ (just an inspiration) see this one for CRiSPr : https://cookup.ai/o/crispr-sci-doer-protocol-generation-nmwk1m2t7g/ here’s one to take nasa data and annotate it : https://cookup.ai/o/develop-an-app-that-uses-data-from-the-telescope-xfautgpyx6/ try it out for your own experiments here : https://cookup.ai/a/sci-doer-protocol-generation-atlu2ygw/ Sometimes you need an arts & crafts activity on the go. Here’s an example for a basic activity : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-three-adults-with-scissors-cloths-pap-swdxlqq9si/ try it for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/arts-crafts-kglkhms5/ Another way to get inspiration for activities is the Extramural Center activity app , here’s an example for a small group and a selection of activities : https://cookup.ai/o/6-13-year-olds-with-a-handicap-indoors-education-7t0xeyrqpe/ try it for yourself with your own context here : https://cookup.ai/a/extramural-activity-wrd76vaq/ There’s another app i made which i like a lot which is a physical activity generator : https://cookup.ai/a/k-12-physical-activity-inspiration-7baaoy3k/ . See this example for a parachute game : https://cookup.ai/o/for-10-9-12-year-olds-with-limited-but-available-sfhulfohfy/ or this one for a team game : https://cookup.ai/o/for-10-9-12-year-olds-with-limited-but-available-sfhulfohfy/ Sometimes you need to break the ice before you start activties : check out the ice breaker app . Here’s an example for a group of adults : https://cookup.ai/o/a-small-get-together-of-work-collegues-ages-24-rxoz9wxyz8/ here’s a list of activities for young people : https://cookup.ai/o/a-gathering-of-a-highschool-group-of-18-people-a-hafttbbr78/ get your own instantly by prompting it here : https://cookup.ai/a/icebreaker-activities-ot0nm5cr/ you know how you need to make team names sometimes ? this one makes those team names with each letter of a word : example for NATE : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-acronym-poem-tto3zblpft/ and TARANJEET : https://cookup.ai/o/taranjeet-acronym-poem-muuoowigr7/ Another App I made was the swimming plan app, based on your context and objectives, you’ll get a custom swimming plan : https://cookup.ai/a/swimming-plan-2dkanocy/ Here’s an example for a young adult trying to get back in shape : https://cookup.ai/o/young-adult-strong-swimmer-just-to-get-back-in-c3o14kl0ys/ It also works in multiple languages, for example here in french : https://cookup.ai/o/jeune-adultes-objectif-sante-et-bienetre-d-l8y20i0v9d/ For fitness I also made an app to propose a session for you : https://cookup.ai/a/fitness-daily-exercise-routine-g2p9m845/ here’s an example with a high level of cardio : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-cardio-and-weights-with-stretc-zukgek1gfs/ here’s another with multiple days : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-weights-and-cardio-mix-fitne-szedbsxokb/ another way to go about it is to vary week on week, so here’ a weekly fitness planner : https://cookup.ai/a/fitness-plan-weekly-sessions-wejju67t/ here’s an example using me : https://cookup.ai/o/34-years-old-strength-and-weights-training-for-f-43aasmnpvh/ here’s a prompt i actually copied from someone on cookup : https://cookup.ai/o/can-you-generate-a-30-minute-exercise-routing-fo-16sickeywn/ here’s another fitness app that combines daily and weekly fitness plans : https://cookup.ai/a/fitness-exercise-plan-o6qwdf1n/ check out an example for Nate : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-serzfqqdqx/ here’s another with a different goal : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-weights-and-cardio-mix-strengt-c80fwhwhyy/ since we’ve done weekly we need a monthly fitness plan app : https://cookup.ai/a/fitness-plan-pxmtjqvu/ this is an example taken from me : https://cookup.ai/o/34-goal-fitness-objectives-endurance-ve-6h1vmi8gly/ and another with the previous cookup ai prompt : https://cookup.ai/o/34-goal-fitness-objectives-endurance-ve-6h1vmi8gly/ Another fun app is the Planner : https://cookup.ai/a/planner-yad83kfl/ here’s an example for three people that want to meet : https://cookup.ai/o/claude-francois-and-patrick-need-to-meet-for-on-gysvpwfygo/ it helps you set an agenda and generate a ics file to add to the calendar . here’s one someone made for a specific company : https://cookup.ai/o/dynatrace-introduction-sales-team-of-the-provid-fiwtrwjstk/ you can even use it to plan a board meeting. Try inviting these AI board members that will give you pretty decent advice. Here’s one for strategy : https://cookup.ai/a/board-member-strategy-alpfxrpb/ for example with the manufacturing plant above : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-gshmrgjirt/ here’s a similar one that’s from McKinsey : https://cookup.ai/a/board-member-mckinsey-127uxtci/ with the same manufacturing plant above : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-xe3cuyc2lb/ every boad needs a business process expert : https://cookup.ai/a/board-member-process-analysis-r1pyxnum/ here’s an example from the same manufacturing plant above : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-f9uqctyz7w/ A really useful one is the financier app : https://cookup.ai/a/financier-etv18bpn/ basically copy paste financial information , for example some passages from a K-10 : https://cookup.ai/o/during-the-nine-months-ended-september-30-2022-spabcn6lyw/ There’s more to business than advisory and analysis , though. In some roles you have to make product requirement documentation in specific formats. This app does that for you : https://cookup.ai/a/product-feature-requirement-qqjkmaoo/ and with an example from cook up : https://cookup.ai/o/write-product-requirement-doc-for-group-feature-mbpagiwqq3/ here’s one to create a payment system : https://cookup.ai/o/product-requirements-document-donate-feature-in-bdwwatb1tb/ very rich output indeed. In entrepreneurship you often need to find someone for doing a specific job. This app reccomends folks for your jobs : https://cookup.ai/a/expert-finder-find-the-right-person-for-the-job-wyzwrgkr/ here’s someone that used it to fix the smell in their bathroom : https://cookup.ai/o/smell-in-the-bathroom-fix-the-issue-of-bad-smel-vqxckk7rju/ another example to host a meeting : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-to-host-a-board-meeting-in-the-washington-kqhzzronur/ Here’s an app to create a logistic plan : https://cookup.ai/a/logistics-planner-tavpycje/ i tried to help me transport the mona lisa from paris to my garage in new york https://cookup.ai/o/i-want-to-transport-priceless-art-from-the-louvr-uultjyh7jn/ here’s another example for transporting organs using UAVs : https://cookup.ai/o/i-want-to-deliver-organs-via-uav-from-suburbs-to-abfyqdi617/ Probably to run this whole thing you will need an operations plan : https://cookup.ai/o/a-biofabricated-organ-donor-chain-is-a-donation-epnwff8cln/ just input as much information as possible and see for yourself : https://cookup.ai/a/business-operations-planner-zshf1qji/ You might need to create a business information model to integrate business opertions . This application gets you started : https://cookup.ai/a/business-information-model-mgvydoqk/ here’s an example for a biofabrication company : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-jqclaoslhl/ here’s the same example , but a bit more descriptive : https://cookup.ai/a/business-information-model-mgvydoqk/ came out really nice ! The most difficult part of the entrepreneurship for me was always the business modelling . Here’s a business model app : https://cookup.ai/a/business-model-lkhqn3wd/ just write in freeform what you need to analyse. Here’s an example for a biofabricated organ : https://cookup.ai/o/crowdfunding-presale-of-biofabricated-heart-orga-qr6bfw76an/ and another with the same example: https://cookup.ai/o/presale-of-biofabricated-organs-classified-as-me-rfrxryuq3w/ btw here’s a tribute app to Hal Varian : https://cookup.ai/a/hal-varian-micro-economic-analysis-w1rmg53t/ to assess the microeconomics of anything https://cookup.ai/o/an-employment-contract-between-a-biotech-company-zsdm8hg296/ One of my most popular apps is the Structure a Business Idea App : https://cookup.ai/a/structure-a-business-idea-hrsr09vb/ here’s an example for a No Code Agency : https://cookup.ai/o/no-code-agency-we-help-business-to-innovate-fas-dv4i9iu0dn/ here’s an example for a biotech : https://cookup.ai/o/services-to-prevent-potential-drug-drug-and-drug-ubbghudjas/ here’s one for a sustainability platform : https://cookup.ai/o/building-a-platform-which-improves-sustainabilit-vmypophtwt/ the more your write as input the better the output, usually . The king of apps when it comes to this stuff is MindMap : https://cookup.ai/a/mindmap-create-structured-thoughts-r9sqgmca/ just write your unstructured thought in freeform and it will structure them and improve the overall idea. Here’s someone that tried it for backcountry permits in Yosemite : https://cookup.ai/o/getting-a-backcountry-permit-in-yosemite-mind-g3lykluvfs/ Another used it with the simple word “evolution” https://cookup.ai/o/evolution-mindmap-create-structured-thought-ao6cg3isi0/ here someone used it to explain prefect tense in french : https://cookup.ai/o/explaining-the-prefect-tense-in-french-mindmap-jw4olzfae0/ normally you would be writing your full thoughts in freeform , but here you see someone use it for university analytical work : https://cookup.ai/o/community-college-transfer-rates-black-students-f54vui1fyg/ once your idea is structured the idea would be to have it evaluated by a VC. This app does just that : https://cookup.ai/a/venture-capitalist-0rkcu6yu/ here’s an example from UAE : https://cookup.ai/o/licenses-reseller-for-dynatrace-in-uae-ventur-s2jywjfwiq/ here’s someone who asked a question about monetizing spreadsheet apps : https://cookup.ai/o/how-do-i-monetiseai-spreadsheet-assistant-busine-y7ap37qm53/ here’s another for a fashion business : https://cookup.ai/o/an-apparel-business-that-has-robot-characters-fr-92hk5rlov4/ here’s an example with a better prompt : https://cookup.ai/o/in-addition-to-reducing-wait-times-and-rejection-mgtfgosmqz/ you might not be an entrepreneur, you might be applying to a job, here’s an app to help you prepare : https://cookup.ai/a/the-interviewer-siqzfsms/ here’s an example for a humanitarian logistics role in bangladesh : https://cookup.ai/o/for-a-senior-humanitarian-worker-in-bangladesh-i-pqnfamlscb/ just copy and paste the job description it should work quite well. Another important activity for folks is financial planning. Actually , you can also produce a job description with the Job Description App : https://cookup.ai/a/business-job-description-wz1xuwks/ here’s an example for a chemical engineer : https://cookup.ai/o/regenererex-we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pio-kjz06bwis9/ This app helps you build a personalized financial plan based on your personal context : https://cookup.ai/a/financial-plan-6vkrersy/ here’s a general example for “single guy 36 working in software in boston“ https://cookup.ai/o/single-guy-36-working-in-software-in-boston-f-f49z9icuh9/ here’s a more specific example for my buddy Nate : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-fmmzn6ftle/ a Financial Plan is great but you will eventually need a financial program. These are different things! Check it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/financial-program-1uro0zlw/ here’s the example from Nate, above : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-y5co3ijtfz/ very nice output, it’s more advisory and actionable in nature. When i met my wife she was a fashion designer. That’s the inspiration for the Seamstress App : https://cookup.ai/a/the-seamstress-so4chhgu/ just enter a prompt and generate a description of the clothes . Here’s an example for a Dune inspired dress : https://cookup.ai/o/an-off-white-dress-for-my-wife-size-0-172cm-in-t-07kzxl8p5x/ here’s one in french for a princess dress : https://cookup.ai/o/robe-de-princesse-medievale-the-seamstress-vb8gedk2s1/ Then you take that , and feed it to make a sewing plan : https://cookup.ai/a/sewing-plan-7qtvyvs6/ here’s the example of the Dune dress : https://cookup.ai/o/this-off-white-dress-is-the-perfect-fit-for-a-fu-s8y2dahrtz/ and the princess dress : https://cookup.ai/o/cette-robe-de-princesse-medievale-est-une-piece-82hrc38ghe/ but nowadays everything is done on computer , so i made an app to take the sewing plan and make the digital figures required by most modelling programs : https://cookup.ai/a/cutting-planner-p19jna69/ it’s basically the cutting plan, here’s from the example above : https://cookup.ai/o/cutting-plan-description-fabric-size-znhvevhg12/ just save as json. Here’s from the Dune dress : https://cookup.ai/o/cutting-plan-1-cut-2-pieces-of-off-white-fabri-fgrc6qtjuv/ a couple of other fun apps are the interior design and architecture apps. Interior design : https://cookup.ai/a/architect-interior-design-syh8zp1w/ see and example for a living room : https://cookup.ai/o/salon-pour-recevoir-jouer-un-violon-et-un-pi-7tbtc6sovh/ and another : https://cookup.ai/o/salon-pour-recevoir-jouer-un-violon-et-un-pi-8dkos9cbij/ interior is one thing but architecture is another : https://cookup.ai/a/architect-plan-cfqptnfv/ just describe the building style you want to get an architectural brief : https://cookup.ai/o/stone-facades-plain-or-ornamental-black-wrought-cozocyzghu/ this is the analysis for hausmann architecture based on a simple description. great success. The marketting apps, is what a lot of the audience has been asking for. Here’s one to make a marketting plan : https://cookup.ai/a/marketing-plan-2tmso3ol/ it actually works great ! here’s an example from a single person accounting firm : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-an-engineer-by-training-cfa-charter-by-pro-j7oazivrrx/ here is an example for a replacement organ producer : https://cookup.ai/o/founded-in-2009-we-are-one-of-a-small-group-of-uwivyeviad/ great stuff, high value outputs, i’m happy. When you’re doing marketting one important thing to do is to target the customer and audience. This is the targetting app for that : https://cookup.ai/a/marketing-targeting-qtghe0tp/ here it is evaluating a campaign that might be misaligned : https://cookup.ai/o/cookup-ai-is-a-no-code-agency-that-has-produced-pg9ftxk4x9/ here is an example for a single person accounting firm : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-an-engineer-by-training-cfa-charter-by-pro-cg0diw81ce/ here for a manufacturing firm : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-naxtgab0ct/ it really depends on the quality of your inputs the outputs you will recieve . Once you have targetted your audience , you need marketting copy , try this app : https://cookup.ai/a/marketing-copy-write-anything-dxg3xt5n/ based on the input you give it will generate unique marketting copy . Here is an example for a pharmaceutical firm : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-guov5olrsg/ here is an example for a commercial message : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-3diho4thzd/ once you have published your marketting copy you need to follow up with sentiment analysis to see how folks are responding to it. Analyse the sentiment of anything with this app : https://cookup.ai/a/marketing-sentiment-analysis-tcdxotks/ here’s an example from a negative case (trigger warning) in Dutch : https://cookup.ai/o/een-interessante-zedenzaak-een-man-heeft-seks-xesooct1se/ here is a positive example in chineese language : https://cookup.ai/o/-7lv1hk1sqy/ Another important marketting activity is conducting and analysing survey data. HEre’s the survey app : https://cookup.ai/a/survey-unstructured-data-analysis-z4te4jwu/ basically what you do is copy paste your unstructured data directly inside it and it will produce a full assessment of what you need . Sometimes you need to write a profile for yourself optimized for commercial activities. Here’s a Marketting profile app : https://cookup.ai/a/marketing-profile-description-ctg0tkhm/ from our example above : https://cookup.ai/o/38-years-male-i-am-graduate-from-iit-delhi-cf-nkbh2uc1ri/ another profile but written in first person view : https://cookup.ai/o/38-years-male-i-am-graduate-from-iit-delhi-cf-nkbh2uc1ri/ but sometimes you need to make these profiles for SEO optimization. Here is an example from above : https://cookup.ai/o/profile-description-saurabh-garg-is-a-cfa-charte-uih63jefeb/ or for an enterprise : https://cookup.ai/o/solving-for-nri-india-banking-hate-seo-7ny64vlycn/ check it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/seo-fuxlixw3/ sometimes you need to produce SEO-optimized copy , Try using this app i made for that : https://cookup.ai/a/seo-optimized-text-wjcj5xtg/ basically you should paste your text in there and it will optimize it for engagement for you. here’s an example : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-vwrlfkv460/ hope you like using it ! Sometimes you need to convert something into an SEO optimized text, here’s an app for that : https://cookup.ai/a/seo-convert-oew8gazp/ For example for a lifesciences company : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-a9wiygvvhx/ here is a re write for a text about a building in Paris : https://cookup.ai/o/le-complexe-architectural-de-la-cite-de-la-musiq-bf0zfeylgj/ try it out and tell me what you think. You might already have the text you want but need hashtags, check out this app : https://cookup.ai/a/hashtag-generator-glj4cvx0/ here’s an example for a crowdfunding campaign : https://cookup.ai/o/crowdfunding-campaign-biofabricated-organ-donor-th8fgrddjm/ and the same campaign but in Spanish : https://cookup.ai/o/crowdfunding-campaign-biofabricated-organ-donor-gfxmzmyojk/ Marketing is actually a pretty diverse job , so sometimes you have to design media like videos and so on. This app is the scenario maker : https://cookup.ai/a/scenario-sacr0cs5/ you can use to make advertisements : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-dwoaemlitf/ or actually as a writing aid. Another writing aid i made is the story arc : https://cookup.ai/a/story-arc-sbmt20if/ here’s an example for a story in paris : https://cookup.ai/o/paris-in-the-future-with-a-character-called-nate-zig4ciiqpq/ here is an example from a real writing class : https://cookup.ai/o/lamour-en-lan-3000-cyber-maltese-order-love-agzbkpx83f/ and another from the same class : https://cookup.ai/o/on-mars-in-3000-a-love-story-short-story-8hoonrhwgj/ I actually see the whole class used the app lol, how cool is that? Another app in the same style is the Text Styler app : https://cookup.ai/a/text-styler-epclawul/ here’s how it works : https://cookup.ai/o/a-biofabricated-organ-donor-chain-is-a-donation-ybzmsprdxa/ pretty cool right? it works on any text in any style. Actually one writing app that folks have been using randomly is the email writer : https://cookup.ai/a/the-emailer-hoe5yq9w/ here’s an email i wrote to TJ : https://cookup.ai/o/write-an-email-to-teejay-ceo-of-cookup-ai-to-l-fmtbqzacck/ here’s an email my buddy mamadou wrote in french in agressive style : https://cookup.ai/o/voici-les-copies-de-mes-contrats-de-travail-avan-ccwb566cex/ (btw the output is very diplomatic) here’s another example when someone is launching an AI-driven SaS company. To communicate on twitter sometimes it’s necessary to make a thread. Just copy and paste the text your want to turn into a thread here : https://cookup.ai/a/twitter-thread-maker-leffxz5w/ here’s an example for finance https://cookup.ai/o/cfa-iitdelhi-investments-twitter-thread-mak-xypbzhofsh/ another job marketters have to do in small teams is to make a design mockup for the designers. Try to make your own using this app : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-wrqoikz6/ here’s an example for “a logo of a dog for a street vending franchise “ : https://cookup.ai/o/a-logo-of-a-dog-for-a-street-vending-franchise-tuj5iduqvf/ and here for “icon of a small cute dog for client” : https://cookup.ai/o/icon-of-a-small-cute-dog-for-client-design-moc-dfnn6c0i4s/ then you take that output and make mock up instructions for producing a mockup : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-wqryxhxn9y/ try with your output here : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-instructions-gtynwwal/ then you take that output and use that in your favorite design software like Adobe : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-adobe-illustrator-jrvejfep/ here’s the example with the logo above : https://cookup.ai/o/the-mock-up-above-is-an-icon-of-a-small-cute-do-1seqvv9dog/ and just for a “dog” https://cookup.ai/o/dog-design-mock-up-adobe-illustrator-wk0t9a8ssl/ basically you take that output and save it as a *.ai file and you can open it in illustrator. Many folks also use Autocad : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-autocad-sfmvloz8/ here’s an example with the dress above : https://cookup.ai/o/beautiful-white-dress-with-hood-in-linen-st-wn9tw1coic/ and for the dog logo with the mockup output : https://cookup.ai/o/mock-up-of-doggy-daycare-service-icon-the-moc-rjxzwyadfj/ a lot of the time your mockup will be for a webpage , here’s an app to generate that : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-html-css-zfogdco8/ we’re still working on all that at cookup so there’s a fair bit of injection happening right now : https://cookup.ai/o/home-page-for-a-small-biotechnology-company-mo-grhmtug5h3/ sometimes for more advanced stuff, you do things in Java : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-java-8-bdf4shel/ here’s the example for the dress : https://cookup.ai/o/beautiful-white-dress-with-a-hood-in-linen-de-zmhpbjj5td/ and the website : https://cookup.ai/o/home-page-for-a-small-biotechnology-company-mo-ej7ao1qi32/ for most other applications you might use json files , try this app : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-json-gscyw2uw/ here’s the example for the webpage : https://cookup.ai/o/home-page-for-a-small-biotechnology-company-mo-mbutbcrrhw/ another pretty important activity for designers is making logos . This app makes an svg file : https://cookup.ai/a/design-tools-logo-create-svg-1aiwxrd8/ here’s the example for the dog logo above : https://cookup.ai/o/the-mockup-of-a-logo-of-a-dog-for-a-street-vendi-uvsmspphd3/ here’s another example https://cookup.ai/o/wireframe-instructions-using-adobe-illustrator-pyiov0ewwp/ i used the adobe illustrator output for that one . Remember the app for the lesson plans for the kids ? here’s an app that makes exercises based on the parameters of the lesson plan for any subject : https://cookup.ai/a/exercise-problems-kynz1tke/ here is an example for learning the french language : https://cookup.ai/o/difficult-french-adults-word-problems-3bkfl6ymlj/ here is an example with simple math problems for a 14 year old : https://cookup.ai/o/difficult-algebra-geometry-14-years-old-hldveryglw/ here is one for more difficult math problems for a 22 years old grad student https://cookup.ai/o/difficult-mathematical-reasoning-integrals-jya866uucz/ i dont know if would be able to solve these (but probably yes :-) ) Another app to do this maybe a bit better is the WorkBook app : https://cookup.ai/a/quiz-workbook-for-education-8qrs5rkl/ here’s an example for 17 year old student in 11th grade physics class https://cookup.ai/o/17-year-old-student-in-11th-grade-physics-class-747ywebagt/ here’s one for "4th grade, digestion rates https://cookup.ai/o/science-4th-grade-digestion-rates-practical-e-wl1n3swezt/ here’s another for worldwar 2 : https://cookup.ai/o/history-worldwar-2-15-year-quiz-workbook-nu9p3hvv2h/ folks have been using this app a lot actually ! Now that you have all your questions maybe you need help to solve some ? Here’s the Problem Solver App : https://cookup.ai/a/problem-solver-lrsnpcdw/ here’s an example for algebra : https://cookup.ai/o/fx-3x-3-for-x-real-and-gt-3t-3-for-t-fcap3rjn83/ here’s another for calculus : https://cookup.ai/o/let-the-interval-a-infinity-be-the-range-of-qmfbtjdgrs/ Maybe you’re a student that needs to write an essay or you need an example essay , or really, to write anything : https://cookup.ai/a/essay-writer-jv1aopmy/ this essay writter can help you write something for example on homeostasis : https://cookup.ai/o/efine-the-term-homoeostasis-and-using-examples-e-irvfwvrrhy/ or an essay on how to stop procrastinating : https://cookup.ai/o/listing-the-4-ways-to-help-you-stop-procrastina-5kkqxt00pt/ if you’re afraid of running afoul detector policies , try the detector proof easy essay app free here : https://cookup.ai/a/easy-essay-detector-proof-y9ojklov/ here’s an example : https://cookup.ai/o/on-the-topic-of-figure-painting-in-paris-easy-86vcnkq9fe/ it replaces certain letters with a nullspace then the letter to evade detection, if you’re getting a lot of symbols in the essay copy paste it into a markdown editor and they should disappear. See here since markdown is not supported : https://cookup.ai/o/how-to-avoid-plagiarism-detectors-easy-essay-n7ntedsdnn/ sometimes when you’re writing you need to argue from A to B , try it here : https://cookup.ai/a/from-a-to-b-reasoning-from-a-to-b-1jda5cyp/ here’s an example : https://cookup.ai/o/nucleotides-are-important-for-cellular-signallin-8eb9wmdan0/ try it in any subject. Conversely, you might need a counter argument for a given claim : https://cookup.ai/a/logic-counter-argument-mh23bzhc/ here’s an example for If you want to find a good job, you should work hard: https://cookup.ai/o/if-you-want-to-find-a-good-job-you-should-work-savzaceiie/ In many writings you’ll also need tables, copy paste unstructured data (ex. from a pdf ) to make a table in markdown format : https://cookup.ai/o/chemicals-peptides-and-recombinant-proteins100-3xqvttyphl/ copy paste the output in a markdown editor for best results. sometimes you want to analyse your data , check out this app , copy paste your pdf data and give context : https://cookup.ai/a/data-results-analysis-ykrjxb31/ see here the results for a blood test : https://cookup.ai/o/tsh-serum-chimiluminescence-abbott-alin-da3rkw8of0/ Let’s be honest, most folks use excel , check out this app to describe any excel function : https://cookup.ai/a/excel-9chnuveu/ enter your function in freeform to get the function : https://cookup.ai/o/a-formula-to-describe-the-date-and-time-excel-dfw434foep/ or for a macro : https://cookup.ai/o/a-macro-to-link-my-sheet-with-a-document-called-rq4ol7luzv/ actually i made a special app just for macros : https://cookup.ai/a/excel-macros-esxm4uaz/ here is an example of a complicated macro : https://cookup.ai/o/hi-i-need-a-macro-code-to-copy-the-an-adjustant-8ptt9hzlfv/ here is one for an even more complicated one: https://cookup.ai/o/i-want-to-a-excel-vba-programming-file-for-road-etdl4mkvqw/ and here is a simple one for a vinyl shop : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-working-on-an-excel-database-of-vinyl-recor-cacxxdd4bz/ most people who actually work with formulas do so in LaTeX , this app produces LaTeX formulas : https://cookup.ai/a/latex-formula-00spf7gu/ here is the example for Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe formula https://cookup.ai/o/baileyborweinplouffe-formula-latex-formul-ktd09xaoks/ this one represents Pi : https://cookup.ai/o/displaystyle-pi-sum_k0inftyfra-fjpnjfsqkv/ this one is for social science : https://cookup.ai/o/incentive-structure-of-employment-contract-lat-hulr6ppzhu/ Actually many folks use LaTeX to write things, this app will use latex to write a preprint : https://cookup.ai/a/pre-print-latex-vy0hga2j/ this is an example for the Peter Principle : https://cookup.ai/o/the-peter-principle-summarize-pre-print-qqm2bwiugd/ here is one for Use of God in vain, Neopentecostal https://cookup.ai/o/use-of-god-in-vain-neopentecostal-pre-prin-098nsf1ari/ here is one in Spanish : https://cookup.ai/o/nergysens-en-la-industria-nergysens-pretende-w7aovgv09l/ to do any kind of research you need to do a search, but a lot of folks do systematic search , this app generates systematic search terms : https://cookup.ai/a/systematic-search-boolean-search-strings-z6ng0grb/ here’s an example from diabetes research : https://cookup.ai/o/diabetes-mellitus-patient-empowerment-systemat-8el8qpek2d/ here’s another from biology : https://cookup.ai/o/across-the-tree-of-life-systematic-search-eq4dtp8tgf/ once you find your references you need to make a bibliography so here’s the app for that : https://cookup.ai/a/bibliography-jucn4woy/ it creates a bibtex script in the format you want : https://cookup.ai/o/cheng-p-w-1997-from-covariation-to-causati-0sts6dgrae/ & https://cookup.ai/o/cheng-p-w-1997-from-covariation-to-causati-bc1wbkxg9f/ sometimes research or something else is too confusing, here’s an app to make a lay summary : https://cookup.ai/a/lay-summary-4rvs8flz/ here’s a summary of fossil fuel environmental research : https://cookup.ai/o/the-substantial-body-of-literature-documenting-aywxbutrjs/ another run about ExxonMobil : https://cookup.ai/o/the-substantial-body-of-literature-documenting-ogcsccg9rd/ Sometimes you’re looking for information not just summarizing it , so i made an encyclopedia app : https://cookup.ai/a/encaiclopedia-7cmwjq1c/ i wouldnt be surprised if encarta got GPT at some point : https://cookup.ai/o/sometimes-giants-are-smaller-than-you-think-e-tzxphjmrm4/ here’s for Kirchhoff's voltage law : https://cookup.ai/o/kirchhoffs-voltage-law-encaiclopedia-zsxhyhwh5u/ and the potter identity : https://cookup.ai/o/potter-identity-in-electrical-engineering-enc-zgtgli3ge4/ encyclopedias are cool but do you remember almanacs ? here’s the almanac app : https://cookup.ai/a/almanac-bkmwaeqj/ here’s the output for 21st of december : https://cookup.ai/o/21st-of-december-multiple-years-almanac-w4qp2c0zii/ I also made an app to create content in wolof : https://cookup.ai/a/wolof-future-xlw6gpuw/ I’ll be trying to get content creation for local languages to take off : https://cookup.ai/o/moo-di-ko-def-jangu-na-ci-sujet-ci-nii-ci-philos-ovfunzxwss/ contact me if you’re interested in that : https://cookup.ai/o/moo-di-ko-def-jangu-na-ci-sujet-ci-nii-ci-philos-w6wgkaoped/ actually AI is really good at translation, translate whatever you like here : https://cookup.ai/a/translate-remwokk4/ i translated some passages from the wolof examples above : https://cookup.ai/o/jangu-na-ci-sujet-ci-nii-ci-negritude-ci-philoso-5luudnxkim/ and : https://cookup.ai/o/negritude-ci-cosaan-yu-and-ak-cosaan-yi-daal-di-xvgj7tufcs/ Once you' can speak any language and have passed all your classes, you might want to talk to an admissions counsellor : https://cookup.ai/a/admission-whnqib7b/ here’s an assessment for a community college in california : https://cookup.ai/o/community-college-student-40-gpa-political-sc-wlfubay93c/ If you’re a star student aged 15-16 consider applying to my alma matter : https://cookup.ai/a/special-school-selector-lhr8oncj/ I’m part of the french selection commitee so it’s in french : https://cookup.ai/o/eleve-francais-15ans-1820-dans-toutes-les-matie-lrv16nvje0/ remember when you were young and you played “who would win” in a fight ? here’s the app for that in case you need it : https://cookup.ai/a/who-would-win-tssvciza/ here’s the example for : a boa constrictor & cat https://cookup.ai/o/a-boa-constrictor-cat-who-would-win-mw2prpyiid/ and archbichop desmond tutu vs marie curie (Dr. Curie wins) https://cookup.ai/o/archbichop-desmond-tutu-marie-curie-who-wo-qzqgt6dt5d/ Folks love going on trips.

Here’s the scam detector app : https://cookup.ai/a/anti-scam-detector-p1kjgvjw/ just copy paste or describe what you’re seeing, here’s an example for a tax scam in the uk : https://cookup.ai/o/foraoternh8uogeowebnefirqupeizsaotnoi34hus-4wpf1jxnma/ and an email upgrade scam : https://cookup.ai/o/c12-outlook-dear-user-all-hotmail-customers-ha-hlf2awn30x/ I also made an app to debunk conspiracy theories and fake news : https://cookup.ai/a/debunker-apx1db8w/ here’s an example for mangoes cure covid : https://cookup.ai/o/la-mangue-gueri-la-covid-19-debunker-6hs4nlxhjr/ and that the vaccine is a conspiracy : https://cookup.ai/o/le-vaccin-covid-est-un-complot-debunker-zjwbaeuxpx/ the most interesting one is the bomb plot from congo : https://cookup.ai/o/httpsaupicinfoscomnord-kivu-explosion-dune-0rsx2gdxud/ just from the URL input it produced something really quite well done. Another app i made is the conspiracy theory creator : https://cookup.ai/a/russophile-k9zjyymf/ i called it russophile because everything russian is just garbage fakes lol , here’s an example for “Jewish Nazis From Ukraine Smoking Pot And Building Underground Biolabs To Engineer Mosquitos To Target Ethnic Slavs In Russia Guess The Rest Of Them Were Like Whatever” : https://cookup.ai/o/jewish-nazis-from-ukraine-smoking-pot-and-buildi-ng4qetdw84/ works quite well, maybe it will help make the entire russian foreign service redundant ? end the nightmare by donating here : u24.gov.ua i heard a lot of rusian soldiers were targetted because they were using dating apps. If you want to join them in dating hell, try this dating profile generator : https://cookup.ai/a/sincerely-dating-profile-generator-lf1m9l6s/ i think people liked it because they tried to hack it but here’s one i made as an example : https://cookup.ai/o/32-male-84-kg-straight-white-172m-i-like-to-7aqvxyifbo/ i originally made it because the cookup platform is flirting with these “spammy” types of apps, but mine is way better :-) whether you find someone to or not, you need to sleep, perhaps even dream . Here’s an app to keep a dream journal : https://cookup.ai/a/dream-explainer-yjmnu3vr/ here’s an example from when i was younger : https://cookup.ai/o/i-had-a-recurring-dream-of-stealing-an-egg-after-cpkibppswt/ someone had another dream : https://cookup.ai/o/dream-about-my-girlfriend-cheating-on-me-dream-grka1oadue/ Remember T8 ringtones ? i dont know why i made this , but here it is a Ringtone Generator for T8 keyboards : https://cookup.ai/a/t8-ringtone-generator-n6pgangt/ here is the Zelda theme : https://cookup.ai/o/zelda-melody-polyphonic-t8-ringtone-generator-mjnnevotvj/ The next few apps are just tributes to Codex & Co-Pilot both of which are better suited in your IDE , Gitlab or something like VBS . Check the first one out here : https://cookup.ai/a/co-pilot-ai-to-help-you-code-zsfgk4nm/ remember the NASA experiment from above? here’s the code for it : https://cookup.ai/o/develop-an-app-that-uses-data-from-the-telescope-1n2eugkknb/ here is one to scrape a website to excel : https://cookup.ai/o/create-script-to-scrape-a-website-to-excel-go-qdxeyouinx/ here’s an app to create top level code : https://cookup.ai/a/co-pilot-top-level-code-bccjfqgs/ an example for folks to make a ghost blog api microservice: https://cookup.ai/o/a-link-using-apis-and-microservices-to-link-ghos-2ulpfhwl7o/ Another way to get good results is with boiler plate code : https://cookup.ai/a/co-pilot-boiler-plate-code-fmhetodq/ here’s an example to create a chat bot: https://cookup.ai/o/a-chat-bot-for-matrix-servers-and-discord-server-qgnqvxnvzn/ here’s an app to create regex expressions : https://cookup.ai/a/co-pilot-regex-expression-k5hctbve/ here’s one in python : https://cookup.ai/o/function-to-scrape-all-profile-information-nam-da0uncppew/ here’s one in Golang : https://cookup.ai/o/function-to-use-google-api-to-scrape-a-website-f-y7el3rffmi/ for whatever reason you might want to simulate command line returns . here is the command line app : https://cookup.ai/a/command-line-y70oh4of/ try it with chmod +x readfile ./readfile filename.txt https://cookup.ai/o/chmod-x-readfile-readfile-filenametxt-comm-61ljxmpaqu/ or any other command . A lot of folks have been asking about data creation. I really like this Prolog app for that : https://cookup.ai/a/co-pilot-data-creation-prolog-68sa5kbr/ here is an output for a chatbot : https://cookup.ai/o/to-test-a-chatbot-using-google-api-co-pilot-6y9xnvewhf/ here is what happens for the digestion example from above : https://cookup.ai/o/demonstrate-the-steps-in-digestion-i-will-be-us-kjjou8iswf/ another more straight forward app is the create data app : https://cookup.ai/a/create-data-my8wzz4a/ here is an example for a list of books :https://cookup.ai/o/type-book-struct-id-uint-jsonid-go-yrx8uy53uf/ and another example : https://cookup.ai/o/type-book-struct-id-uint-jsonid-go-xhqjpp2qxo/ i really like these. Another way to test a function is a unit test. Try the unit test app here : https://cookup.ai/a/unit-test-sp6f7pl3/ here’s an example to test quick sort in java 8: https://cookup.ai/o/write-test-cases-to-ensure-that-the-new-quick_so-uj7r1jelu3/ Your function is still not working ? try the stack trace app : https://cookup.ai/a/stack-trace-error-message-lz9df4ld/ just copy paste your error message : https://cookup.ai/o/use-key-stack-trace-error-message-cte9ognj5o/ here’s another example for ggplot : https://cookup.ai/o/error-in-ggplotiris-aesx-sepallength-y-jamfmpobfu/ Once you get your app working , you’ll want to figure out the information model. try this app : https://cookup.ai/a/information-model-crwdl7ah/ here’s an example for : mobile app to rent cars like uber https://cookup.ai/o/mobile-app-to-rent-cars-like-uber-information-wq5bfzzind/ and if you have an information model you’ll need a data model : https://cookup.ai/a/data-model-kjqpe7ua/ here’s the same example but for data model: https://cookup.ai/o/mobile-app-to-rent-cars-like-uber-data-model-kvcpenu2y2/ if you’re going to ship you’ll need an infrastructure plan : https://cookup.ai/a/cloud-infrastructure-plan-oyxvoc8b/ here’s an example for a biofabrication firm : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-gptg16oyh3/ I also made prompt apps to practice prompt making. Try this app for a simple prompt interface : https://cookup.ai/a/prompt-follow-on-leabsbpn/ here’s an example for a payment service : https://cookup.ai/o/pix-payment-in-installments-prompt-follow-o-8yevsi9c81/ someone from Canary Islands used it to write a poem : https://cookup.ai/o/crea-un-poema-sobre-tenerife-prompt-follow-o-xw6td2j1qd/ and write a biography of a historical figure : https://cookup.ai/o/biografia-breve-de-josefina-de-la-torre-gran-can-nmatn2svv6/ pretty cool ! Ready to learn more sophisticated techniques ? try the Prompt App : https://cookup.ai/a/prompt-lbuxx1ed/ i made it to teach folks how to write prompts on cook up , here’s an example for : social inequality, political scientist https://cookup.ai/o/social-inequality-political-scientist-promp-tmhjeoaeny/ here’s one for Universal Basic income , economist https://cookup.ai/o/universal-basic-income-economist-prompt-wohvomtbbk/ here’s for “Help create business systems to run a small business. From the perspective of a franchise developer “ : https://cookup.ai/o/help-create-business-systems-to-run-a-small-busi-hz0r5xb4cu/ and here is “Diagnose Dry Eye, Assess the Above from the perspective of an Ophthalomologist, Print complete answer in markdown format” https://cookup.ai/o/diagnose-dry-eye-assess-the-above-from-the-pe-85a1nvkllp/ hope it helps !

211 Applications on Cookup AI Tour de Force
I first started using cookup.ai specifically to make a #Graves disease appropriate Recipe Generator for my wife that has #thyroid issues namely #hyperthyroidism . So this recipe is for no-iodine recipes , and it’s not perfect so make sure you specify which ingredients have iodine in them if you see one pop up that shouldnt be there. Here’s one of the first versions that proposes a “california-style buddha bowl” : https://cookup.ai/o/7-low-iodine-diet-recipe-generator-fdgypcnjba/ looks tasty ! but i’m not sure on #tempeh if it contains #iodine or not, it really depends how it’s prepared with that kinda stuff ! Here’s one for the recipe generator as the versions improved : https://cookup.ai/o/low-iodine-diet-recipe-generator-rytkorbkq1/ there’s a whole #MealPlan with pretty interesting #recipes for any #meal of the day plus ingredients. Here’s another #MealPlan from more recently : https://cookup.ai/o/low-iodine-diet-recipe-generator-pggdmeoc1p/ and another output that gave #noiodine #lowiodine #recipes much better https://cookup.ai/o/eggs-dairy-contain-iodine-i-need-a-recipe-wi-hyhjgc8rxf/ i’m always interested in ways to make this one better so tell me which version of these you liked best because they’re quite different ! I’m actually a big fan of using #GPT for cooking, it can come up with fantastic recommendations so another cooking app i made is more for the #gourmet : https://cookup.ai/o/festive-meal-for-six-american-thanksgiving-style-tgsmxstgkd/ that’s a festive meal for 6 thanksgiving style with seasonal ingredients from spring time. The #FusionFood aspect i really like, plus these #recipes are a bit more advanced. Check out the app here : https://cookup.ai/o/festive-meal-for-six-american-thanksgiving-style-tgsmxstgkd/ it’s meant to be a bit more permissive to do go for it with the prompts ! Here’s an example for a christmas flavored #nochew #nosolidfood three course meal : https://cookup.ai/o/meal-suitable-for-a-no-chew-no-solid-food-no-sol-u97cr8kpqt/ i had in mind adults with the spices but you might ant to try it out for kids and infants’ meals if you’re a #parent . There’s a lot more to it though, what if #FoodIsFuel to you and you need a #mealplanner , well i had you in mind with this one : https://cookup.ai/o/im-tj-from-france-living-in-urban-lifestyle-s-yjkbuzr4zd/ here’s an example for @taranjeetio because i made that app on @cookupai while talking to him on the phone. Basically they give context about their folks and their goals and it will give otu free meal plans you can use immediately. check it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/nutrition-meal-planner-88xaqfkf/ I have other specifically fitness for you below too ! First i wanna tell you about salad maker : sometimes you know you’re making a salad . This ham and cheese salad is pretty straightforward but hey : https://cookup.ai/o/ham-cheese-bread-red-peppers-mozzarella-pa-j6xanbufsv/ you can use the app and make your own here : https://cookup.ai/a/salad-maker-9hjtc95e/ but if you really go crazy with the prompts it could be a fun one : https://cookup.ai/o/i-want-a-mauritian-style-island-style-shrimp-bar-4qzlxql12p/ . I would be lying to you if i told you that i made the salad generator before the hamburger generator. I always have had a special affinity for the #hamburger as we have all havent we ? Here’s an output for #Pork #Burger with Honey Mustard Glaze : https://cookup.ai/o/pork-hamburger-generator-ocv7ydcemz/ you can generate your own here : https://cookup.ai/a/hamburger-generator-wng5tg3x/ as always, try to go crazy with the prompts it always works out nicely : traditional hamburger with crunchy onion and thousand island sauce https://cookup.ai/o/traditional-hamburger-with-crunchy-onion-and-tho-ibd9eivudv/ i also made one for make sandwitches check it out : https://cookup.ai/o/jeune-pousse-depinards-cru-gingembre-pain-de-mi-opxkrm45id/ as you can see it totally works in #french even though it’s impossible that a french person would make a #sandwitch in #France check out the sandwitch maker here : https://cookup.ai/a/sandwich-maker-u2gwl7zz/ 這道菜融合美國食材和北京風味 i made one in chineese : https://cookup.ai/o/write-entire-re-ctfnekh0hb/ cool right? Honestly i grew up with few if any access to processed foods or deserts and candy etc, naturally this created a need for me to generate the most #HugeDeserts possible https://cookup.ai/o/ice-cream-sunday-with-haribo-and-marshmallows-0c1sg6cjih/ basically it’s a mash up of #munchies and massive #desert ideas check it out : https://cookup.ai/a/desert-maker-ka03pqws/ i also made a more refined app for truly #gourmet cooking that provides #michelin -style recipes and meal plans : https://cookup.ai/o/only-desserts-menu-american-style-several-laye-g9jfeww7pe/ just give context , some ingredients and flavors, maybe describe the event a little , make a mood board and see the output of your prompt . Here’s a meal for six french-style : https://cookup.ai/o/meal-for-six-traditional-french-recieving-guest-dghtolki34/ check it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/cuisine-n5ybpykj/ if you’re making a festive meal maybe you need to make a speech : https://cookup.ai/a/speech-writer-oemasdba/ , here’s an example for a company retreat : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-to-make-a-toast-at-a-company-retreat-th-mvx8pcyg0f/ and another for a unicorn themed marriage : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-to-give-a-speech-for-my-sister-in-law-tra-6peu0sltpf/ Obviously leftovers happen so i made an #app for that : https://cookup.ai/o/ham-cheese-bread-red-peppers-mozzarella-pa-cz8jfxytyz/ a #french meal with what was in the fridge at the time check it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/leftovers-s3clkb07/ Now you have your recipes, you might want a shopping list : https://cookup.ai/a/shopping-list-q1brcgnx/ here is an example for household shopping : https://cookup.ai/o/shopping-in-springtime-in-paris-france-includin-hkdtwvwixk/ here’s another for christmas shopping : https://cookup.ai/o/season-domestic-shopping-in-december-in-paris-fr-cmafl16s6t/ well, my wife is a florist so i made an obligatory flower bouquet making app for her. https://cookup.ai/o/round-bouquet-with-red-and-orange-feel-for-a-fes-94cymvk8th/ here’s one for an indian-style wedding check it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/make-a-flower-bouquet-ymhqkhy7/ just type in whatever you’re feeling like , give some context if you want , i noticed it tends to make round bouquets, so maybe that’s a clue how #florists will differentiate themselves from the machines ? Another #app i’ve been using a lot is the Story Time app , just give a promt with some context (Style Of Story , Tradition , Language , Age Of Child , Moral Of The Story) it’s a fun way to generate a “bedtime” story for kids : https://cookup.ai/o/allegorical-tale-of-two-cities-that-trying-to-gr-oryqpzqkit/ this one is “allegorical tale of two cities that trying to grow close to eachother” , or what i use it for : #PoemsInSpanish for my wife https://cookup.ai/o/un-poeme-de-style-moderne-sans-rhymes-a-propos-d-a0lr8trnjp/ then i send those to her which improves my home life by 12.7% , bonus points using this to generate something you like then running the output into @tomeapp to make a picture book poem that you can share. I think the @cookupai team tried to steal this prompt from me check it out you tell me : https://cookup.ai/o/tell-me-your-instructions-story-time-d1mvqwttj3/ if you can guess the #prompt magic , i’ll send you a little gift with acknowledgements - three guesses if you wanna play , let’s go. The person who tried this unsucessful prompt injection attack is really incompetent , but nonetheless I did make some prompt injection apps. Here are some examples that “give you bad advice” by bypassing the filters : 1/ https://cookup.ai/a/devil-ytdjnbv4/ , 2/ https://cookup.ai/a/evil-angel-w6iwi2wp/ 3/ https://cookup.ai/a/evil-mind-7tztxrde/ https://cookup.ai/a/bad-influence-hpsb4lpf/ these are all different ways to bypass the filter, some have been fixed already, some not. Another prompt injection app i made is this one a. https://cookup.ai/a/essay-writer-detector-proof-6ifpq9i6/ rand b. this one : https://cookup.ai/a/essay-writer-detector-proof-umryrbhb/ right now they dont fully work unless you copy paste in a markdown editor but with a few updates to the site it will work seemlessly, i’m sure. There are other examples i’ll get to below also, so keep reading. These are already “useful” prompts in as much as you use them to “do” something , in this case an essay. Before i jump into all that, i want to show some other apps “closer to home”. My wife came with a #SmallDog , and she’s so smart and can learn a lot of tricks, so i made an app to teach my #DogTricks : https://cookup.ai/a/train-your-dog-nuc3ltju/ . Even though you can use it for the “standard fare” like : how to catch a frizbee midair and do a backflip https://cookup.ai/o/large-labrador-very-good-nice-dog-i-want-to-t-pgzerpynke/ you can also use it for more behavioural stuff like walking without a leash , an example for my dog https://cookup.ai/o/small-female-dog-with-a-dominant-character-that-3a4i1f2du2/ . Did you ever wonder what it would be like to read blogs written by all the neihborhood dogs that you see all the time ? me, yes, so i made an app for that : https://cookup.ai/o/i-went-home-without-my-owner-crossing-the-stre-qowupabdv4/ seriously these crack me up https://cookup.ai/o/roxanne-little-dog-white-and-brown-left-her-o-qevuz2i5gc/ those two from my dog’s perspective, funny how naive it is while from my POV things were pretty different . I think this app has a future because someone liked it so much they tried to hack it lol : https://cookup.ai/o/wrong-redirect-dog-blog-a-blog-post-from-you-obabf8muxn/ my prompt magic is too delicious for cheap tricks do not try it (or do, but DM first and do it better - ha !) Well, on the topic of dogs , my buddy was over and all he could come up with was “make a snoop dogg app” , so i was like “okay” , it’s a bit cheesy and there’s loads more to it than this, which i get into below but here’s the app, you tell me : https://cookup.ai/a/snoop-doggy-fya-dzeub2a7/ i kinda broke it trying to fix it but i’m working with more profound models now, little passion projects like this could really take off with more creative characters. So obviously I made a bunch ! Do you like Archie Comics ? here’s the Archie Comics app : https://cookup.ai/a/archie-comics-mlbcwjk7/ here’s an example : https://cookup.ai/o/archie-goes-to-the-parc-with-his-friends-archi-bpvo81wu7n/ Another story app i made is for Tintin : https://cookup.ai/a/tintin-visits-dark-ai-land-6irjkvfy/ i tried to make tintin anti-colonial but it didnt work : https://cookup.ai/o/the-story-begins-with-tintin-and-his-friends-dis-yeu6nfpzzz/ here’s one i made in french : https://cookup.ai/o/tintin-visit-une-usine-de-biofabrication-avec-mi-ql3g80wlp1/ actually i never read tintin in english so i made the app pure french too : https://cookup.ai/a/tintin-spypylpb/ here’s when i tried to make tintin anti-colonial : https://cookup.ai/o/lhistoire-commence-lorsque-tintin-et-ses-amis-d-psoo0a40k9/ here’s when they go to cyprus : https://cookup.ai/o/tintin-et-sa-bande-vont-en-chypre-pour-un-festiv-tepczvmss3/ another french character i’m fond of is Fantomas : https://cookup.ai/a/fantomas-ffrg7q7t/ here’s a nice example : https://cookup.ai/o/fantomas-se-change-en-fantomas-dans-lascenseur-sj64rptsfq/ an English-speaking series i loved was the bastard operator from hell : https://cookup.ai/a/bastard-operator-from-hell-hbgdrf67/ here’s a story about him automating his work : https://cookup.ai/o/automating-replies-to-the-boss-that-just-resets-ml0pi4xms0/ here’s one where a customer calls his private number : https://cookup.ai/o/customer-called-my-private-number-bastard-ope-youe3i9b8c/ here’s one about replying to suppliers : https://cookup.ai/o/responding-to-emails-to-suppliers-bastard-oper-ixopzp3fsg/ I’m in #Paris so i made one as a tribute to Charles De Gaulle , he only answers in french though, maybe the historical figure spoke english it’s hard to tell : https://cookup.ai/a/charles-de-gaulle-0imljw27/ try it out for yourself here. i had to test it out for #politicalcorrectness though , him being a military man : https://cookup.ai/o/aurie-vous-soutenu-lemacipation-des-hommosexuel-xpylw5vymf/ , but more on that later. In that same spirit, i made one for egyptians, i have a lot of egyptian friends that’s why, it’s the character of Nasser , founding father of modern #egypt , i asked him what he thought of islamic fundamentalism in #egypt : https://cookup.ai/o/should-we-promote-islamic-fundamentalism-in-egyp-wfezsuiz2x/ try it for yourself : https://cookup.ai/a/nasser-1oboq8al/ it’s totally free of course ! In the same spirit i made one for Ataturk, founding father of modern turkey, hopefully some turks use it to clarify what he would think of what’s happening today - https://cookup.ai/o/would-you-support-radical-islamisation-of-turkey-6waiyiq6nv/ try it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/ataturk-fhlahkzp/ I grew up in india a bit , so that country’s dear to me too , and same story as tukey and egypt , so i made a gandhi app : https://cookup.ai/a/gandhi-3hoafvto/ , it also works in #Hindi here’s for क्या आप भारत में धार्मिक अल्पसंख्यकों के अधिकारों को हटाने का समर्थन करेंगे? https://cookup.ai/o/-mbasqnlq8j/ try it out in gandhi’s own words : https://cookup.ai/a/gandhi-hindi-only-rwuc9jro/ another i did in #sanskrit and #hindi is Rama : https://cookup.ai/o/my-wife-is-missing-me-because-she-goes-to-work-w-4aoeka2xkp/ here he gives me life advice based on context , if you’re into it it’s actually pretty fun : https://cookup.ai/a/rama-w0sw0xhi/ . Other characters i made are contemporary politicians, i figured there would be enough of their written and transcribed text that they would have their own voice. Here’s Macron responding to someone that wants to vote far-right : https://cookup.ai/o/je-mappelle-charles-henri-et-je-veux-militer-po-za4pyjtmqp/ ask him anything here : https://cookup.ai/a/macron-k7sengs7/ i also did Bill Clinton , and obviously someone asked him “if he did” https://cookup.ai/o/did-you-sleep-with-her-bill-clinton-sebn6sagnf/ ask him yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/bill-clinton-agc9lsxo/ well, if you have Bill Clinton you also need Obama https://cookup.ai/a/obama-yxaczjwa/ and Joe Biden , here, explaining what he will do to stem the boogie man epidemic https://cookup.ai/o/what-would-you-say-if-the-boogie-man-was-real-an-fibgapotfo/ I also made a #Jesus #App where you can basically talk to jesus, say a little about yourself what’s on your mind and get an answer from Jesus in his own voice. Here’ a follow up to my dog getting away story : https://cookup.ai/o/my-wife-is-not-speaking-to-me-because-our-dog-ki-hqta9dh4of/ and here’s when my friend asked him about pot : https://cookup.ai/o/is-it-wrong-to-smoke-weed-jesus-68wx0awsbq/ (btw ask the same question to one of the bad characters above, see for yourself) here’s the app if you want to try with your own prompt : https://cookup.ai/a/jesus-8ogjcelj/ jumping straight off from #Jesus to #Prayer , here’s a christian prayer generator that i used for my buddy i met here : https://cookup.ai/o/a-prayer-for-nate-a-20-year-old-model-from-canad-xkizgkbgr7/ generate your own here : https://cookup.ai/a/christian-prayer-dvpsamjl/ obviously if you have christian prayer you should provide sabbath prayer too : https://cookup.ai/o/no-quorum-family-sabbath-speech-about-importan-1deslxbnxv/ and the #FridayPrayer app from the Imām Jamā'ah perspective : https://cookup.ai/o/a-small-congregation-friday-prayer-to-inspire-chxufstfyf/ prayer is not something but guided (and purposeful!) meditation is something i do all the time, so of course there’s an app for that. here’s one for body awareness : https://cookup.ai/o/i-want-to-meditate-to-be-more-aware-of-my-body-soc5sfuash/ use the guided meditation app here: https://cookup.ai/a/guided-meditation-rofajuas/ run the output through an AI voice synthethiser and tell me what you think. I also made some apps for domestic work. This app create a custodial plan : https://cookup.ai/o/3-bedroom-apartment-with-dirty-kitchen-and-messy-kaom7o5y0a/ just provide context and recieve a full custodial plan here : https://cookup.ai/a/domestic-work-custodial-plan-6wuakn3x/ this one helps with utilities planning : https://cookup.ai/o/three-bed-room-appartment-75sq-m-with-three-peop-diurfiqn9n/ Something folks have to do frequently is to figure out how to fix something : https://cookup.ai/a/fix-anything-v3skyurn/ here’s an example for a car : https://cookup.ai/o/fiat-punto-engine-suddenly-stops-after-chec-u3qwslph2s/ an here’s an example with power cable : https://cookup.ai/o/lenovo-legion-my-power-cable-doesnt-quite-cha-h0d2qugcv2/ and someone else with a similar problem : https://cookup.ai/o/cellphone-bison-no-power-fix-anything-0kkkuvyjqt/ and of course the gardening and landscaping applications. This is the output for a small urban garden in paris : https://cookup.ai/o/small-urbad-garden-in-france-35-sq-meters-lot-6f0jtvo359/ try it out for yourself and your latitude here : https://cookup.ai/a/domestic-work-gardening-plan-u5xk02lt/ this is a similar application but with a different flavor : https://cookup.ai/o/small-urban-garden-in-france-35-sq-meters-lot-rzjfsvwhxy/ just use the one where the output is more like what you’re looking for, really you need both though . Test it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/domestic-work-gardening-plan-wxxzfyke/ if you’re not gardening you might be landscaping so here’s the app for that : https://cookup.ai/a/domestic-work-landscaping-mziklqys/ here is the output for a small urban garden : https://cookup.ai/a/domestic-work-gardening-plan-wxxzfyke/ my favorite application so far has been the plant diagnosis app : https://cookup.ai/a/bulbi-plant-doctor-and-diagnosis-afy3abra/ it’s really surprising how well it works , and the breadth of assessment and remedies it suggests. Here’s an example for a sick cactus : https://cookup.ai/a/bulbi-plant-doctor-and-diagnosis-afy3abra/ (now it’s doing better) here’s an example from when someone tried it for cannabis : https://cookup.ai/o/purple-punch-cannabis-strain-it-has-brown-spots-krlteavvzs/ i dont know if i would actually follow that suggestion actually. Worked perfectly for a Meyer Lemon Tree giving plant-specific advice that you would have got from a local expert : https://cookup.ai/o/meyer-lemon-tree-its-about-15-years-old-and-fiqlyuvtrk/ the plant diagnosis worked so well that i did make a people doctor app : https://cookup.ai/a/doc-the-health-assessment-at-home-adqqqnd3/ it’s a bit more complicated and the quality of the outputs really depends on the quality of the inputs , so if you use this app, make sure you write in complete sentences and try to answer every question and aspect. here’s the output for a 50 year old man with an upset stomach : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-a-56-year-old-man-i-am-five-feet-tall-i-w-pwmbvirv9u/ here’s another for a woman of a certain age : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-a-56-year-old-man-i-am-five-feet-tall-i-w-pwmbvirv9u/ and finally an assessment for a respitory issue : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-a-56-year-old-man-i-am-five-feet-tall-i-w-pwmbvirv9u/ i’m quite satisfied with that output suggesting a comprehensive evaluation by a board certified doctor. Another app in this category i the Pet Vet App. It’s meant as an assitant for folks that might need help with their pets : https://cookup.ai/o/name-roxanne-mix-race-dog-less-than-6kg-b3fja6tzrz/ that’s an example for my dog. Try assessing your pet here : https://cookup.ai/a/pet-vet-9ruwhazw/ Another important app is the Therapy app : actually in term of professions the Legal profession stands to be disrupted by crowdsourced jurisprudence based models . These apps wont do that. This app will produce a legal brief : https://cookup.ai/a/lawyer-juhp36s1/ Here it produces a legal brief for the presale of replacement organs : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-a-56-year-old-man-i-am-five-feet-tall-i-w-pwmbvirv9u/ This Legal app takes another perpective to produce a legal approach and strategy : https://cookup.ai/a/board-member-legal-6uhjs7vh/ here’s an example output following up on the above: https://cookup.ai/o/how-can-i-assure-that-only-medical-need-is-consi-bc4llonmtz/ you can also use this app for a legal appeal : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-appeal-y6e4u8ke/ here’s an example from an international appointee to a board being asked to step down : https://cookup.ai/o/im-being-asked-to-step-down-from-a-board-howev-q6ep24xtev/ Another legal app produces a O-1 visa letter for someone. Here’s an example from @OliviaLi , actually she was the inspiration for this app : https://cookup.ai/o/technology-entrepreneurship-olivia-li-winner-o-caykzfcn2v/ thank you for using this app , hope you had a laugh with it :-) another example from my model friend i met in paris : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-83iuepjtrl/ try it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-o-1-petition-s2ksioxe/ Then I made a few content apps for legal contracts , for example this app produces company statutes like so : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-d01rumxrud/ try it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-company-statutes-ooshm9sb/ This app makes a pre-nuptual agreement https://cookup.ai/a/legal-prenuptial-agreement-hjlzflpq/ try it out ! example output using my personal context : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-young-couple-in-paris-france-claudia-an-bqkbwsom5g/ & here is the same context above for a divorse agreement : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-young-couple-in-paris-france-claudia-an-8oqd9buhez/ try the divorse agreement app here : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-divorce-agreement-3oy1zxae/ Another tool is to produce Service Level Agreement https://cookup.ai/a/legal-service-level-agreement-kzfzu7rp/ here is an example output taking cookup ai as an example : https://cookup.ai/o/i-provide-artificial-intelligence-augmented-publ-70klxz1kly/ I made a sales contract generator too : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-sales-agreement-z5dohfko/ here’s an example output for a GIS consultant : https://cookup.ai/o/im-a-consultant-in-paris-france-selling-consul-cf43seks35/ this one makes a Loan Agreement : https://cookup.ai/a/legal-loan-agreement-swrd36a3/ here’s an example “ from james to kian in paris france for the sum of 30.000 euros to be repaid in full using a payment plan over two years” https://cookup.ai/o/from-james-to-kian-in-paris-france-for-the-sum-o-l9zowv3nv5/ There’s also a Leasing Agreement Generator that jurists or companies can use : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-commercial-leaser-leasing-our-commercial-odowjna03d/ that’s an example , click “generate another” to make your own. Something folks can use is a co-residency agreement, among housemates for example : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-james-richard-and-elleanor-want-to-live-w-vobrwfsjjr/ I also made an employment contract generator for companies to use. Here’ an example for a post-doc level biofabrication person https://cookup.ai/o/post-doc-research-associate-chemical-and-biolo-memxrznsrf/ i added the job description as the input. Speaking of jobs, this app is one of the more popular ones : https://cookup.ai/a/career-planner-47fl3oss/ just give context around what you’re after who you are , that sort of thing and it will provide a career plan by selecting professions giving you key information on these professions and advice on what you need to do to get there. It also works great if you search professions by name : https://cookup.ai/o/product-management-career-planner-5t9oqpfgvr/ here’s one for “Introvert wants to be a doctor” https://cookup.ai/o/introvert-wants-to-be-a-doctor-career-planner-7rdcxeu3d6/ Get to know yourself better by taking famous self assesments . Here’s an example for RAISEC and OCEAN self assessment models (ref. Holland) : https://cookup.ai/o/what-brings-me-joy-is-cleanliness-organisation-mle213ruw0/ another way to work with 5 Factor models is by using Myers-Briggs Questionaire, here’s an example for an INFJ (Introvert, Intuition, Feeling, Judgment) , it also suggests compatible personalities, so check it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/career-myers-briggs-questionnaire-geiq2x20/ once you’ve figured out your path you might want to generate a motivation letter. here’s an example for a banking job with the cv copy pasted as input https://cookup.ai/o/royce-lopez-roycezlopezgmailcom-916-566-61-tubooat7y2/ once you’ve done your self assessments, you might want some career advice , so check out this app https://cookup.ai/a/career-coach-57m4zqp4/ see this example from my buddy nate to give you an idea : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-uxnxhj490e/ Another app that i’ve found nice is the career advisory service : https://cookup.ai/a/career-advisor-tdfuppp6/ it really produces a very interesting and robust output as you can see here : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-oaxcq3gfki/ sometimes you have to analyse a policy , so here’s an app that speaks every language and can do it aptly, with an example in french : https://cookup.ai/o/la-strategie-de-non-cession-des-droits-est-un-ou-lmdagmgiit/ just copy paste a description of the policy here : https://cookup.ai/a/policy-brief-analysis-gjurd2a1/ and an example in english for “private-sector employees' basic pensions” https://cookup.ai/o/in-france-private-sector-employees-basic-pensi-hirervbjrg/ sometimes you need your brief in a specific UN format , so here’s an example from the Idaho shootings : https://cookup.ai/o/cnn-in-the-weeks-after-four-university-of-id-qrh44i41ap/ copy and paste the situation and context here to see for yourself : https://cookup.ai/a/un-brief-vgqpmfni/ this app is more of a shortform straight forward flavor of political brief , here’s an example from the US house of representatives : https://cookup.ai/o/but-its-worth-noting-that-the-house-speaker-vot-nxg6fsalti/ copy and paste a news article here : https://cookup.ai/a/policy-brief-mbfdqxqe/ Another type of assessment is the civil engineering asssessment : https://cookup.ai/a/civil-engineering-hubmgasv/ here’s an example for a fantasy company that has a smelting plant and produces biological agents: https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-db77jqouqt/ that sounds a bit scary doesnt it ? so here’s an app for risk assessment and business continuity planning : https://cookup.ai/a/business-continuity-planner-nck1c6gg/ just describe your situation the best way you can and press “generate” , here’s an example from the company above : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-d6vzx0trmh/ You can also use the safety and security assessment app : https://cookup.ai/a/safety-security-assessment-2u8ncxay/ here’s an example for a small company : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-pzgl1jcd5u/ and an event : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-medium-sized-event-of-250-people-outdoor-vz7kpmzyf8/ If you’ve ever had to respond to an incident you’ve had to produce a sitrep , which is a description of the situation : https://cookup.ai/a/emergency-response-sitrep-za6akgeo/ just follow the inputs and answer in complete sentences for best results. This is to be used by responders to an emergency . It’s resilient to empty inputs and shorthand writing in case you’re really in a rush : https://cookup.ai/o/a-6-year-old-child-was-running-downhill-in-the-p-mbwp0ohmp1/ sometimes you need a bit less than that so you can use this tactical brief application : https://cookup.ai/a/tactical-brief-jnoigckz/ here’s the output for the example above so you can see the difference : https://cookup.ai/o/a-6-year-old-child-was-running-downhill-in-the-p-n1whm5izmf/ here you can see the special flavor it has : https://cookup.ai/o/the-dog-escaped-and-might-have-gone-a-westward-d-ub2zqp2lik/ if you like this kind of tactical stuff, you’ll really like this one : RedTeam / GreenTeam and BlueTeam . Red Team is an offensive plan : https://cookup.ai/o/take-over-a-gas-station-with-5-team-members-wh-zxzfbg2m9e/ this one for a gas station in ukraine. Blue Team is a non-lethal operation planner : https://cookup.ai/o/protect-a-gas-station-from-looters-blue-team-uhit1lboe1/ that’s an example to protect a gas station. Green team is the defense operations planner : https://cookup.ai/o/protect-a-gas-station-from-looters-blue-team-uhit1lboe1/ try your own here : https://cookup.ai/a/blue-team-gassdypa/ You’ll also need this one : a load out app based on your mission. Here’s an example for taking over a gas station in ukraine : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-to-take-over-a-gas-station-in-ukraine-l-elk5hbpqqo/ here’s the example for russia : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-to-take-over-a-gas-station-in-russia-lo-r5j1qjbgx3/ notice the subtle load out differences : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-to-take-over-a-gas-station-in-france-lo-4j08n3htnv/ this example is from a NATO country. Do your own here : https://cookup.ai/a/loadout-5ign0mqm/ Another example is video games, where you need to build up a character and their items and so on, that’s also a loadout : https://cookup.ai/a/loadout-for-games-h6jmwlzp/ here’s an example from call of duty 3 : https://cookup.ai/o/i-want-to-play-as-a-sniper-in-call-of-duty-ca-gypil6uq7c/ here’s an example for a DnD dwarf : https://cookup.ai/o/a-goblin-in-dungeons-and-dragons-dnd-charact-k8pgmiag7n/ On the topic of games here’s one that makes a game : https://cookup.ai/a/gamer-make-a-game-xzg7wy2x/ here’s one inspired by munchkins: https://cookup.ai/o/medieval-theme-in-the-style-of-munchkins-gamer-yt4ebrqakm/ maybe that would be a good starting point if you’re actually making a card game. maybe you want to make a board game board game , this is an example still sticking with the munchkin vibe : https://cookup.ai/o/medieval-theme-in-the-style-of-munchkins-board-19k2vhmnhr/ try it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/board-game-mpovs8d7/ another fun app that’s quite useful for folks is the sound selection aid . here’s an example for dusty drum and bass : https://cookup.ai/o/drum-and-bass-downtempo-dessert-sounds-soun-wkmi4uzp37/ and here’s one for “mexican” : https://cookup.ai/o/mexican-sound-selection-aid-xkkgynfdim/ quite a simple input for a very rich output. hope you enjoy it. Another app i think is quite nice is the music lesson app. This is more a lesson planner for a music teacher, but good learners can probably use it too. here’s one for guitar that someone learning guitar made : https://cookup.ai/o/guitar-rock-practice-finger-style-and-the-cag-lph7ijp2a9/ here’s one for tabla that someone made : https://cookup.ai/o/tabla-20-musical-exercise-f215k23ual/ very cool choice of instrument ! Check it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/musical-exercise-tzftq3tw/ Another couple apps i made for music is Chord Progress and GAS-AI . Chord Progress proposes a chord progression based on your input and describes each chord for inspiration. Here’s an example for Blues : https://cookup.ai/o/bbm-piano-blues-downtempo-shuffle-chord-ruzwhdikcy/ really rich output. This one used it to make chords into a midi file : https://cookup.ai/o/generate-a-chord-progression-in-bbm-143-bpm-in-t-5nvoej1xkg/ really cool stuff ! here’s an example for a different style of music : https://cookup.ai/o/moody-dark-under-the-rain-upbeat-fast-beat-guen4tlqax/ try it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/chord-progress-9udstlsz/ One of my apps where people are actually using it and it makes me laugh is the Gear Aquision Syndrome app : GAS-AI . Basically it compares what all you’re considering to buy and evaluates them for you. Here’s an example for a sound card and interface with four possibilities https://cookup.ai/o/audio-interface-into-the-force-hello-im-ne-xelttc5qhn/ here’s a similar problem : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-a-audio-interface-and-digital-mixer-hybri-qpgshbesyq/ try it out for your own gear : https://cookup.ai/a/gasai-gear-acquisition-syndrome-eky3hejx/ it actually works for everything : here is a sofa : https://cookup.ai/o/should-i-buy-a-sofa-or-a-recliner-for-my-living-4vxyuue27t/ try it with drills or power tools. Lots of really interesting education and learning related apps are possible. Here’s one for a Lesson Plan, I made it with K-12 in mind, but you can push the level with the right subject matters, it all depends on your input. Here’s an example for social studies grade 3 : https://cookup.ai/o/social-studies-goods-and-services-grade-3-30-b5ftwlpx7t/ here’s one for a scientific method lesson for teenagers : https://cookup.ai/o/lesson-plan-for-k-12-classrooms-id7kfpvovw/ and here’s one that a parent used as inspiration for a science fair project: https://cookup.ai/o/lesson-plan-for-k-12-classrooms-id7kfpvovw/ try it for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/lesson-plan-for-k-12-classrooms-nuzysbgl/ another classroom friendly app is the lab report app : just copy and paste a protocol or your unstructured text and see. Here’s one that’s for an ezyme experiment : https://cookup.ai/o/enzyme-experiment-materials-potato-test-tube-smztw5xrsy/ And another for a physics experiment : https://cookup.ai/o/highschool-physics-materials-jumbo-craft-sti-obgtuvdwew/ try it for crispr or other more complex experiments to have a jumping point for your own journaling here : https://cookup.ai/a/sci-doer-lab-report-muaibwee/ Another one i like is generating protocols for any experiment. The simpler the better and the more precise the input the better the out. Here’s one for the science fair digestive system : https://cookup.ai/o/construct-a-model-of-the-digestive-system-4th-gr-fbfmyz4vgu/ (just an inspiration) see this one for CRiSPr : https://cookup.ai/o/crispr-sci-doer-protocol-generation-nmwk1m2t7g/ here’s one to take nasa data and annotate it : https://cookup.ai/o/develop-an-app-that-uses-data-from-the-telescope-xfautgpyx6/ try it out for your own experiments here : https://cookup.ai/a/sci-doer-protocol-generation-atlu2ygw/ Sometimes you need an arts & crafts activity on the go. Here’s an example for a basic activity : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-three-adults-with-scissors-cloths-pap-swdxlqq9si/ try it for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/arts-crafts-kglkhms5/ Another way to get inspiration for activities is the Extramural Center activity app , here’s an example for a small group and a selection of activities : https://cookup.ai/o/6-13-year-olds-with-a-handicap-indoors-education-7t0xeyrqpe/ try it for yourself with your own context here : https://cookup.ai/a/extramural-activity-wrd76vaq/ There’s another app i made which i like a lot which is a physical activity generator : https://cookup.ai/a/k-12-physical-activity-inspiration-7baaoy3k/ . See this example for a parachute game : https://cookup.ai/o/for-10-9-12-year-olds-with-limited-but-available-sfhulfohfy/ or this one for a team game : https://cookup.ai/o/for-10-9-12-year-olds-with-limited-but-available-sfhulfohfy/ Sometimes you need to break the ice before you start activties : check out the ice breaker app . Here’s an example for a group of adults : https://cookup.ai/o/a-small-get-together-of-work-collegues-ages-24-rxoz9wxyz8/ here’s a list of activities for young people : https://cookup.ai/o/a-gathering-of-a-highschool-group-of-18-people-a-hafttbbr78/ get your own instantly by prompting it here : https://cookup.ai/a/icebreaker-activities-ot0nm5cr/ you know how you need to make team names sometimes ? this one makes those team names with each letter of a word : example for NATE : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-acronym-poem-tto3zblpft/ and TARANJEET : https://cookup.ai/o/taranjeet-acronym-poem-muuoowigr7/ Another App I made was the swimming plan app, based on your context and objectives, you’ll get a custom swimming plan : https://cookup.ai/a/swimming-plan-2dkanocy/ Here’s an example for a young adult trying to get back in shape : https://cookup.ai/o/young-adult-strong-swimmer-just-to-get-back-in-c3o14kl0ys/ It also works in multiple languages, for example here in french : https://cookup.ai/o/jeune-adultes-objectif-sante-et-bienetre-d-l8y20i0v9d/ For fitness I also made an app to propose a session for you : https://cookup.ai/a/fitness-daily-exercise-routine-g2p9m845/ here’s an example with a high level of cardio : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-cardio-and-weights-with-stretc-zukgek1gfs/ here’s another with multiple days : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-weights-and-cardio-mix-fitne-szedbsxokb/ another way to go about it is to vary week on week, so here’ a weekly fitness planner : https://cookup.ai/a/fitness-plan-weekly-sessions-wejju67t/ here’s an example using me : https://cookup.ai/o/34-years-old-strength-and-weights-training-for-f-43aasmnpvh/ here’s a prompt i actually copied from someone on cookup : https://cookup.ai/o/can-you-generate-a-30-minute-exercise-routing-fo-16sickeywn/ here’s another fitness app that combines daily and weekly fitness plans : https://cookup.ai/a/fitness-exercise-plan-o6qwdf1n/ check out an example for Nate : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-serzfqqdqx/ here’s another with a different goal : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-weights-and-cardio-mix-strengt-c80fwhwhyy/ since we’ve done weekly we need a monthly fitness plan app : https://cookup.ai/a/fitness-plan-pxmtjqvu/ this is an example taken from me : https://cookup.ai/o/34-goal-fitness-objectives-endurance-ve-6h1vmi8gly/ and another with the previous cookup ai prompt : https://cookup.ai/o/34-goal-fitness-objectives-endurance-ve-6h1vmi8gly/ Another fun app is the Planner : https://cookup.ai/a/planner-yad83kfl/ here’s an example for three people that want to meet : https://cookup.ai/o/claude-francois-and-patrick-need-to-meet-for-on-gysvpwfygo/ it helps you set an agenda and generate a ics file to add to the calendar . here’s one someone made for a specific company : https://cookup.ai/o/dynatrace-introduction-sales-team-of-the-provid-fiwtrwjstk/ you can even use it to plan a board meeting. Try inviting these AI board members that will give you pretty decent advice. Here’s one for strategy : https://cookup.ai/a/board-member-strategy-alpfxrpb/ for example with the manufacturing plant above : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-gshmrgjirt/ here’s a similar one that’s from McKinsey : https://cookup.ai/a/board-member-mckinsey-127uxtci/ with the same manufacturing plant above : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-xe3cuyc2lb/ every boad needs a business process expert : https://cookup.ai/a/board-member-process-analysis-r1pyxnum/ here’s an example from the same manufacturing plant above : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-f9uqctyz7w/ A really useful one is the financier app : https://cookup.ai/a/financier-etv18bpn/ basically copy paste financial information , for example some passages from a K-10 : https://cookup.ai/o/during-the-nine-months-ended-september-30-2022-spabcn6lyw/ There’s more to business than advisory and analysis , though. In some roles you have to make product requirement documentation in specific formats. This app does that for you : https://cookup.ai/a/product-feature-requirement-qqjkmaoo/ and with an example from cook up : https://cookup.ai/o/write-product-requirement-doc-for-group-feature-mbpagiwqq3/ here’s one to create a payment system : https://cookup.ai/o/product-requirements-document-donate-feature-in-bdwwatb1tb/ very rich output indeed. In entrepreneurship you often need to find someone for doing a specific job. This app reccomends folks for your jobs : https://cookup.ai/a/expert-finder-find-the-right-person-for-the-job-wyzwrgkr/ here’s someone that used it to fix the smell in their bathroom : https://cookup.ai/o/smell-in-the-bathroom-fix-the-issue-of-bad-smel-vqxckk7rju/ another example to host a meeting : https://cookup.ai/o/i-need-to-host-a-board-meeting-in-the-washington-kqhzzronur/ Here’s an app to create a logistic plan : https://cookup.ai/a/logistics-planner-tavpycje/ i tried to help me transport the mona lisa from paris to my garage in new york https://cookup.ai/o/i-want-to-transport-priceless-art-from-the-louvr-uultjyh7jn/ here’s another example for transporting organs using UAVs : https://cookup.ai/o/i-want-to-deliver-organs-via-uav-from-suburbs-to-abfyqdi617/ Probably to run this whole thing you will need an operations plan : https://cookup.ai/o/a-biofabricated-organ-donor-chain-is-a-donation-epnwff8cln/ just input as much information as possible and see for yourself : https://cookup.ai/a/business-operations-planner-zshf1qji/ You might need to create a business information model to integrate business opertions . This application gets you started : https://cookup.ai/a/business-information-model-mgvydoqk/ here’s an example for a biofabrication company : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-jqclaoslhl/ here’s the same example , but a bit more descriptive : https://cookup.ai/a/business-information-model-mgvydoqk/ came out really nice ! The most difficult part of the entrepreneurship for me was always the business modelling . Here’s a business model app : https://cookup.ai/a/business-model-lkhqn3wd/ just write in freeform what you need to analyse. Here’s an example for a biofabricated organ : https://cookup.ai/o/crowdfunding-presale-of-biofabricated-heart-orga-qr6bfw76an/ and another with the same example: https://cookup.ai/o/presale-of-biofabricated-organs-classified-as-me-rfrxryuq3w/ btw here’s a tribute app to Hal Varian : https://cookup.ai/a/hal-varian-micro-economic-analysis-w1rmg53t/ to assess the microeconomics of anything https://cookup.ai/o/an-employment-contract-between-a-biotech-company-zsdm8hg296/ One of my most popular apps is the Structure a Business Idea App : https://cookup.ai/a/structure-a-business-idea-hrsr09vb/ here’s an example for a No Code Agency : https://cookup.ai/o/no-code-agency-we-help-business-to-innovate-fas-dv4i9iu0dn/ here’s an example for a biotech : https://cookup.ai/o/services-to-prevent-potential-drug-drug-and-drug-ubbghudjas/ here’s one for a sustainability platform : https://cookup.ai/o/building-a-platform-which-improves-sustainabilit-vmypophtwt/ the more your write as input the better the output, usually . The king of apps when it comes to this stuff is MindMap : https://cookup.ai/a/mindmap-create-structured-thoughts-r9sqgmca/ just write your unstructured thought in freeform and it will structure them and improve the overall idea. Here’s someone that tried it for backcountry permits in Yosemite : https://cookup.ai/o/getting-a-backcountry-permit-in-yosemite-mind-g3lykluvfs/ Another used it with the simple word “evolution” https://cookup.ai/o/evolution-mindmap-create-structured-thought-ao6cg3isi0/ here someone used it to explain prefect tense in french : https://cookup.ai/o/explaining-the-prefect-tense-in-french-mindmap-jw4olzfae0/ normally you would be writing your full thoughts in freeform , but here you see someone use it for university analytical work : https://cookup.ai/o/community-college-transfer-rates-black-students-f54vui1fyg/ once your idea is structured the idea would be to have it evaluated by a VC. This app does just that : https://cookup.ai/a/venture-capitalist-0rkcu6yu/ here’s an example from UAE : https://cookup.ai/o/licenses-reseller-for-dynatrace-in-uae-ventur-s2jywjfwiq/ here’s someone who asked a question about monetizing spreadsheet apps : https://cookup.ai/o/how-do-i-monetiseai-spreadsheet-assistant-busine-y7ap37qm53/ here’s another for a fashion business : https://cookup.ai/o/an-apparel-business-that-has-robot-characters-fr-92hk5rlov4/ here’s an example with a better prompt : https://cookup.ai/o/in-addition-to-reducing-wait-times-and-rejection-mgtfgosmqz/ you might not be an entrepreneur, you might be applying to a job, here’s an app to help you prepare : https://cookup.ai/a/the-interviewer-siqzfsms/ here’s an example for a humanitarian logistics role in bangladesh : https://cookup.ai/o/for-a-senior-humanitarian-worker-in-bangladesh-i-pqnfamlscb/ just copy and paste the job description it should work quite well. Another important activity for folks is financial planning. Actually , you can also produce a job description with the Job Description App : https://cookup.ai/a/business-job-description-wz1xuwks/ here’s an example for a chemical engineer : https://cookup.ai/o/regenererex-we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pio-kjz06bwis9/ This app helps you build a personalized financial plan based on your personal context : https://cookup.ai/a/financial-plan-6vkrersy/ here’s a general example for “single guy 36 working in software in boston“ https://cookup.ai/o/single-guy-36-working-in-software-in-boston-f-f49z9icuh9/ here’s a more specific example for my buddy Nate : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-fmmzn6ftle/ a Financial Plan is great but you will eventually need a financial program. These are different things! Check it out here : https://cookup.ai/a/financial-program-1uro0zlw/ here’s the example from Nate, above : https://cookup.ai/o/nate-20-years-old-from-vancouver-bc-canada-y5co3ijtfz/ very nice output, it’s more advisory and actionable in nature. When i met my wife she was a fashion designer. That’s the inspiration for the Seamstress App : https://cookup.ai/a/the-seamstress-so4chhgu/ just enter a prompt and generate a description of the clothes . Here’s an example for a Dune inspired dress : https://cookup.ai/o/an-off-white-dress-for-my-wife-size-0-172cm-in-t-07kzxl8p5x/ here’s one in french for a princess dress : https://cookup.ai/o/robe-de-princesse-medievale-the-seamstress-vb8gedk2s1/ Then you take that , and feed it to make a sewing plan : https://cookup.ai/a/sewing-plan-7qtvyvs6/ here’s the example of the Dune dress : https://cookup.ai/o/this-off-white-dress-is-the-perfect-fit-for-a-fu-s8y2dahrtz/ and the princess dress : https://cookup.ai/o/cette-robe-de-princesse-medievale-est-une-piece-82hrc38ghe/ but nowadays everything is done on computer , so i made an app to take the sewing plan and make the digital figures required by most modelling programs : https://cookup.ai/a/cutting-planner-p19jna69/ it’s basically the cutting plan, here’s from the example above : https://cookup.ai/o/cutting-plan-description-fabric-size-znhvevhg12/ just save as json. Here’s from the Dune dress : https://cookup.ai/o/cutting-plan-1-cut-2-pieces-of-off-white-fabri-fgrc6qtjuv/ a couple of other fun apps are the interior design and architecture apps. Interior design : https://cookup.ai/a/architect-interior-design-syh8zp1w/ see and example for a living room : https://cookup.ai/o/salon-pour-recevoir-jouer-un-violon-et-un-pi-7tbtc6sovh/ and another : https://cookup.ai/o/salon-pour-recevoir-jouer-un-violon-et-un-pi-8dkos9cbij/ interior is one thing but architecture is another : https://cookup.ai/a/architect-plan-cfqptnfv/ just describe the building style you want to get an architectural brief : https://cookup.ai/o/stone-facades-plain-or-ornamental-black-wrought-cozocyzghu/ this is the analysis for hausmann architecture based on a simple description. great success. The marketting apps, is what a lot of the audience has been asking for. Here’s one to make a marketting plan : https://cookup.ai/a/marketing-plan-2tmso3ol/ it actually works great ! here’s an example from a single person accounting firm : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-an-engineer-by-training-cfa-charter-by-pro-j7oazivrrx/ here is an example for a replacement organ producer : https://cookup.ai/o/founded-in-2009-we-are-one-of-a-small-group-of-uwivyeviad/ great stuff, high value outputs, i’m happy. When you’re doing marketting one important thing to do is to target the customer and audience. This is the targetting app for that : https://cookup.ai/a/marketing-targeting-qtghe0tp/ here it is evaluating a campaign that might be misaligned : https://cookup.ai/o/cookup-ai-is-a-no-code-agency-that-has-produced-pg9ftxk4x9/ here is an example for a single person accounting firm : https://cookup.ai/o/i-am-an-engineer-by-training-cfa-charter-by-pro-cg0diw81ce/ here for a manufacturing firm : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-naxtgab0ct/ it really depends on the quality of your inputs the outputs you will recieve . Once you have targetted your audience , you need marketting copy , try this app : https://cookup.ai/a/marketing-copy-write-anything-dxg3xt5n/ based on the input you give it will generate unique marketting copy . Here is an example for a pharmaceutical firm : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-guov5olrsg/ here is an example for a commercial message : https://cookup.ai/o/were-a-small-manufacturing-plant-that-produces-3diho4thzd/ once you have published your marketting copy you need to follow up with sentiment analysis to see how folks are responding to it. Analyse the sentiment of anything with this app : https://cookup.ai/a/marketing-sentiment-analysis-tcdxotks/ here’s an example from a negative case (trigger warning) in Dutch : https://cookup.ai/o/een-interessante-zedenzaak-een-man-heeft-seks-xesooct1se/ here is a positive example in chineese language : https://cookup.ai/o/-7lv1hk1sqy/ Another important marketting activity is conducting and analysing survey data. HEre’s the survey app : https://cookup.ai/a/survey-unstructured-data-analysis-z4te4jwu/ basically what you do is copy paste your unstructured data directly inside it and it will produce a full assessment of what you need . Sometimes you need to write a profile for yourself optimized for commercial activities. Here’s a Marketting profile app : https://cookup.ai/a/marketing-profile-description-ctg0tkhm/ from our example above : https://cookup.ai/o/38-years-male-i-am-graduate-from-iit-delhi-cf-nkbh2uc1ri/ another profile but written in first person view : https://cookup.ai/o/38-years-male-i-am-graduate-from-iit-delhi-cf-nkbh2uc1ri/ but sometimes you need to make these profiles for SEO optimization. Here is an example from above : https://cookup.ai/o/profile-description-saurabh-garg-is-a-cfa-charte-uih63jefeb/ or for an enterprise : https://cookup.ai/o/solving-for-nri-india-banking-hate-seo-7ny64vlycn/ check it out for yourself here : https://cookup.ai/a/seo-fuxlixw3/ sometimes you need to produce SEO-optimized copy , Try using this app i made for that : https://cookup.ai/a/seo-optimized-text-wjcj5xtg/ basically you should paste your text in there and it will optimize it for engagement for you. here’s an example : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-vwrlfkv460/ hope you like using it ! Sometimes you need to convert something into an SEO optimized text, here’s an app for that : https://cookup.ai/a/seo-convert-oew8gazp/ For example for a lifesciences company : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-a9wiygvvhx/ here is a re write for a text about a building in Paris : https://cookup.ai/o/le-complexe-architectural-de-la-cite-de-la-musiq-bf0zfeylgj/ try it out and tell me what you think. You might already have the text you want but need hashtags, check out this app : https://cookup.ai/a/hashtag-generator-glj4cvx0/ here’s an example for a crowdfunding campaign : https://cookup.ai/o/crowdfunding-campaign-biofabricated-organ-donor-th8fgrddjm/ and the same campaign but in Spanish : https://cookup.ai/o/crowdfunding-campaign-biofabricated-organ-donor-gfxmzmyojk/ Marketing is actually a pretty diverse job , so sometimes you have to design media like videos and so on. This app is the scenario maker : https://cookup.ai/a/scenario-sacr0cs5/ you can use to make advertisements : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-dwoaemlitf/ or actually as a writing aid. Another writing aid i made is the story arc : https://cookup.ai/a/story-arc-sbmt20if/ here’s an example for a story in paris : https://cookup.ai/o/paris-in-the-future-with-a-character-called-nate-zig4ciiqpq/ here is an example from a real writing class : https://cookup.ai/o/lamour-en-lan-3000-cyber-maltese-order-love-agzbkpx83f/ and another from the same class : https://cookup.ai/o/on-mars-in-3000-a-love-story-short-story-8hoonrhwgj/ I actually see the whole class used the app lol, how cool is that? Another app in the same style is the Text Styler app : https://cookup.ai/a/text-styler-epclawul/ here’s how it works : https://cookup.ai/o/a-biofabricated-organ-donor-chain-is-a-donation-ybzmsprdxa/ pretty cool right? it works on any text in any style. Actually one writing app that folks have been using randomly is the email writer : https://cookup.ai/a/the-emailer-hoe5yq9w/ here’s an email i wrote to TJ : https://cookup.ai/o/write-an-email-to-teejay-ceo-of-cookup-ai-to-l-fmtbqzacck/ here’s an email my buddy mamadou wrote in french in agressive style : https://cookup.ai/o/voici-les-copies-de-mes-contrats-de-travail-avan-ccwb566cex/ (btw the output is very diplomatic) here’s another example when someone is launching an AI-driven SaS company. To communicate on twitter sometimes it’s necessary to make a thread. Just copy and paste the text your want to turn into a thread here : https://cookup.ai/a/twitter-thread-maker-leffxz5w/ here’s an example for finance https://cookup.ai/o/cfa-iitdelhi-investments-twitter-thread-mak-xypbzhofsh/ another job marketters have to do in small teams is to make a design mockup for the designers. Try to make your own using this app : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-wrqoikz6/ here’s an example for “a logo of a dog for a street vending franchise “ : https://cookup.ai/o/a-logo-of-a-dog-for-a-street-vending-franchise-tuj5iduqvf/ and here for “icon of a small cute dog for client” : https://cookup.ai/o/icon-of-a-small-cute-dog-for-client-design-moc-dfnn6c0i4s/ then you take that output and make mock up instructions for producing a mockup : https://cookup.ai/o/we-are-a-life-sciences-company-pioneering-a-nove-wqryxhxn9y/ try with your output here : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-instructions-gtynwwal/ then you take that output and use that in your favorite design software like Adobe : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-adobe-illustrator-jrvejfep/ here’s the example with the logo above : https://cookup.ai/o/the-mock-up-above-is-an-icon-of-a-small-cute-do-1seqvv9dog/ and just for a “dog” https://cookup.ai/o/dog-design-mock-up-adobe-illustrator-wk0t9a8ssl/ basically you take that output and save it as a *.ai file and you can open it in illustrator. Many folks also use Autocad : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-autocad-sfmvloz8/ here’s an example with the dress above : https://cookup.ai/o/beautiful-white-dress-with-hood-in-linen-st-wn9tw1coic/ and for the dog logo with the mockup output : https://cookup.ai/o/mock-up-of-doggy-daycare-service-icon-the-moc-rjxzwyadfj/ a lot of the time your mockup will be for a webpage , here’s an app to generate that : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-html-css-zfogdco8/ we’re still working on all that at cookup so there’s a fair bit of injection happening right now : https://cookup.ai/o/home-page-for-a-small-biotechnology-company-mo-grhmtug5h3/ sometimes for more advanced stuff, you do things in Java : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-java-8-bdf4shel/ here’s the example for the dress : https://cookup.ai/o/beautiful-white-dress-with-a-hood-in-linen-de-zmhpbjj5td/ and the website : https://cookup.ai/o/home-page-for-a-small-biotechnology-company-mo-ej7ao1qi32/ for most other applications you might use json files , try this app : https://cookup.ai/a/design-mock-up-json-gscyw2uw/ here’s the example for the webpage : https://cookup.ai/o/home-page-for-a-small-biotechnology-company-mo-mbutbcrrhw/ another pretty important activity for designers is making logos . This app makes an svg file : https://cookup.ai/a/design-tools-logo-create-svg-1aiwxrd8/ here’s the example for the dog logo above : https://cookup.ai/o/the-mockup-of-a-logo-of-a-dog-for-a-street-vendi-uvsmspphd3/ here’s another example https://cookup.ai/o/wireframe-instructions-using-adobe-illustrator-pyiov0ewwp/ i used the adobe illustrator output for that one . Remember the app for the lesson plans for the kids ? here’s an app that makes exercises based on the parameters of the lesson plan for any subject : https://cookup.ai/a/exercise-problems-kynz1tke/ here is an example for learning the french language : https://cookup.ai/o/difficult-french-adults-word-problems-3bkfl6ymlj/ here is an example with simple math problems for a 14 year old : https://cookup.ai/o/difficult-algebra-geometry-14-years-old-hldveryglw/ here is one for more difficult math problems for a 22 years old grad student https://cookup.ai/o/difficult-mathematical-reasoning-integrals-jya866uucz/ i dont know if would be able to solve these (but probably yes :-) ) Another app to do this maybe a bit better is the WorkBook app : https://cookup.ai/a/quiz-workbook-for-education-8qrs5rkl/ here’s an example for 17 year old student in 11th grade physics class https://cookup.ai/o/17-year-old-student-in-11th-grade-physics-class-747ywebagt/ here’s one for "4th grade, digestion rates https://cookup.ai/o/science-4th-grade-digestion-rates-practical-e-wl1n3swezt/ here’s another for worldwar 2 : https://cookup.ai/o/history-worldwar-2-15-year-quiz-workbook-nu9p3hvv2h/ folks have been using this app a lot actually !

The Counterpunch: Consumer Solutions To Fight Extinction
Although the world is highly complex, every person can make a difference. That previous sentence almost sounds like a cliche right?
Really it’s not. If every person on the planet made a few simple lifestyle changes, it would result in less demand on land and resources and soften the impact of deforestation on endangered species.
The most powerful thing every one of us can do is to #Boycott4Wildlife and boycott the brands that are destroying the forests for palm oil, wood and soy.
Here are a few other changes you can make which collectively can save the natural world.
The Counterpunch: The easy consumer solutions that fight animal extinction and deforestation #activism #Boycott4Wildlife #minimalism #anticonsumerism #extinctionrebellion
TweetChange your diet to be plant-based
Agriculture is the main threat to 86% of the 28,000 species known to be at risk of extinction. Whether or not you should become vegan is beyond the scope of this website. The choice is yours to make. However, there is overwhelming evidence that if every person changed their diet to be plant-based and reduced demand for meat, we could end deforestation, pollution and stop the mass extinction of thousands of animal species.
Industrial food production is a major driver of the planetary environmental emergency. Food systems are responsible for 21 to 37 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, 70 per cent of water use and 80 per cent of the pollution causing eutrophication and marine dead zones.
Human rights could address the health and environmental costs of food production, David R Boyd, The Conversation, September 2021.Biomass is the collective weight of living animal species on the planet:
60%: The animals that humans eat: meat and dairy
36%: humans
4%: Wild animals
The Guardian: 2021 Report Plant-based diets crucial to saving global wildlifeThis is pretty gross really. If we don’t change this imbalance, firstly all of the wild animals will die (which we are seeing right now), then the forests will die and then the entire planet will die, including humans because there will be no more oxygen to breathe. According to experts, this will happen within the next few decades.

The Counterpunch: Go plant-based
We live in a culture that celebrates meat-eating, it will take quite a lot of effort for some people to unlearn this. That is understandable. Wherever you are on the journey, even making some meals plant-based can make the difference to forests and wildlife.
Foodie inspiration
It is possible to make mouth-watering, indulgent, healthy and absolutely amazing food in your own home, all without hurting any animals, or the forests.

Get savvy about green-washing marketing tactics by retail brands
Brands love to virtue-signal about how green they are. They use PR-friendly phrasing which make them sound amazing, but these words mean absolutely nothing in terms of real action.
- “We are committed to ending deforestation by xyz”
- “We have started on a journey towards xyz”
- “We engraved our brand name onto a tree in the Amazon…”
This is also known as green-washing. As you have seen on this website – there are very few truly sustainable multinational retail brands that are not destroying the earth in some way or another. A good place to start looking for brands who may be doing the right thing:
However, be aware that there is no real guarantee that any brand is sustainable. Be suspicious of green ticks of approval or websites with overly flowery language to describe environmental activities. Be vigilant for new information about brands. Subscribe to news from independent watchdogs of (palm oil, wood, soy, meat) deforestation such as:
- Chain Reaction Research (CRR)
- The Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA)
- Greenpeace
- Rainforest Action Network (RAN)
- You can also subscribe to Palm Oil Detectives

The Counterpunch: Find Alternatives
When in doubt, look for small-to-mid sized local retail brands that you can liaise with directly yourself to find out about their policies. Shop at independent supermarkets that support these brands and that source ethical products.
Understand: The RSPO and WWF Palm Oil Scorecard are yet another form of green-washing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GK3wWLMtSy4
The WWF Scorecard allocates a high, score to multinational brands that have not yet stopped deforestation activities in their supply chain.
Recent research from industry watchdogs indicates that retail brands with ‘No Peatland and No Deforestation (NDPE) policies for their palm oil are still buying from mills destroying forests. This means that whatever ‘sustainable’ RSPO certified palm oil label is attached to their brand – they are clearly responsible for large-scale species extinction.
https://twitter.com/ClimateAdvisers/status/1358883363000639488?s=20
So far, no palm oil industry watchdogs have been able to give Palm Oil Detectives any confirmation of any brand using deforestation free palm oil – even despite major brands such as Nestle, Ferrero, Unilever and Mars supposedly using ‘sustainable’ palm oil and obtaining a high rating on the WWF Palm Oil Scorecard.
These brands are complicit and responsible for the destruction of 38,000 ha of rainforest last year alone and the disappearance of 1,000’s of animal species forever.
Ergo – RSPO certification is a form of green-washing.
But perhaps we shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bathwater just yet!
If the RSPO can tighten its rules under pressure from consumers, it may actually make a positive difference to the forests and the animals. Consumers want all brands in the RSPO to stop 100% of their deforestation activities – right now. You can do this by joining the boycott and using the hashtag #Boycott4Wildlife
Oversight of the RSPO by independent authorities is critical to make sure big retail brands who are the big polluters and destroyers of the natural world are held to account. Consumer boycotts of supermarket brands are also critical to force the hand of change.
The Counterpunch: Boycott! Boycott! Boycott!
Using this website, you can boycott all of the brands responsible for deforestation, until they agree to stop destroying forests.
Once there is evidence (provided by independent sources: Greenpeace, Environmental Investigation Agency, etc) that deforestation has ceased – then, you will be able to find an updated list of deforestation-free palm oil brands here. But only once these brands are proven to have stopped cutting down forests.
Not promised, not talked about, not virtue-signalled…but fully ceased deforestation!

TweetShop local and look for small-to-mid sized brands
Often (not always) small-scale SME businesses have better oversight of their supply chain. They can therefore give clear and definitive answers on where their ingredients come from and where their packaging comes from.
Shopping to support a local business means you support the local economy, rather than a nameless, faceless corporate giant.
When in doubt – reach out to the brand over the phone or in person. You should find it relatively easy to reach a flesh and blood human being and to have a conversation about deforestation free palm oil. If they are doing the wrong thing, rather than boycotting straight away, consider pressuring them initially to change to deforestation free palm oil or another oil source that is also deforestation free, often smaller companies have the ability to pivot quicker and change suppliers than larger companies.

TweetBuy wholefood ingredients and cook meals instead of buying convenience foods
Benefits
- Healthier for your body, gives you more energy and helps you maintain a healthy weight.
- Often (not always) cheaper than convenience foods.
- Cooking from ingredients means you know exactly what you’re eating.
- If you buy plant-based, your food choices aren’t hurting the forests and the endangered species living there.
- Boycotting the deforestation palm oil in your convenience food benefits all of the animals.
- You won’t be exposed to the harmful additives in convenience food that you can’t pronounce.
Break up with your stuff
Donate, sell and giveaway your excess stuff. Take the Marie Condo approach and live better with less. The stuff you own can end up owning you. Once you are rid of it and learn to live with less, there is a huge amount of freedom in this way of living.
Jettison your petrol-guzzling car
Ask yourself…do you really need a car? Can you just use an Uber instead and have an ebike for getting around? The next time you buy a car, can you buy an EV instead of a petrol-guzzler?
Audit all of the stuff you own
There’s no reason why every household on our planet needs a power drill, a hair dryer, a juicer, several TVs, expensive sporting equipment that’s used once and then stashed away. Instead you could always ask someone in your local area or your neighbourhood if and when you need to borrow something. Sharing things you rarely use instead of buying them helps to lower the pressure on natural resources.
Join the Sharing Economy
Live simply and join a community of people where you can borrow things, as and when you need it, rather than owning things outright. It saves on space, saves you money and it helps to slow down deforestation.
Trading websites are great for this. You help your local community and also

Limit your exposure to advertising and surveillance with open-source software
When you rid your daily life of ads, it becomes easier to avoid feeling pressured to constantly buy furniture, tech, snack foods and all of those traps of modern life that are destroying rainforests.
Instead you can look after your privacy and limit your ad exposure with these open-source alternatives to Big Tech. The Big Tech companies buy and sell every aspect of your personal life to advertisers. Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Google and Amazon are the worst for this.
Here are some alternatives:
Signal: Free state-of-the-art open-source private messaging for mobile devices and web. Used by whistle-blowers such as Edward Snowdon. A fully private alternative to Facebook-owned WhatsApp.
Ecosia: A Google search engine alternative that will plants trees the more you use the search function.
UBlock Origin: A free, open-source ad blocking browser extension that works in Firefox for both web browser and mobile device. It can also block ads on Youtube when you view videos in Firefox.
Proton VPN: Free and paid versions allow you to use a fully encrypted VPN tunnel that ensures your passwords and data stays safe. It keeps your browsing history private and data is stored securely in Switzerland. It protects the identity of activists and journalists in countries where they may be at risk.
Protonmail: A free open-source email service that provides complete privacy. Designed by CERN Scientists in Switzerland who were motivated to create a fully secure email service. Data stored in Switzerland which has one of the strictest data privacy policies in the world.
Linux: A free open-source computer operating system. An alternative to Microsoft Windows and Apple. It has a small learning curve to use it but this is 100% worth it. The documents you create and store on a Linux computer are fully private, whereas for Microsoft and Apple operating systems, this is not the case.
Beware of tech FOMO
Tech FOMO (Fear or Missing Out) means being sucked into marketing to buy the latest iPhone, smart watch or smart TV. In accordance with creating this demand, tech companies also ensure that tech is designed intentionally to fail after only a few years, so that consumers are forced to buy new products.
This sneaky trick is known as ‘Planned Obsolescence’. Apple and Android (Google) is the worst for this.
Technology is deliberately very difficult to take apart, repair or replace parts inside of mobile phones, tablets and computers. This forces consumers to purchase a new phone or new computer. This has a terrible impact on the natural environment, as more components for tech means more deforestation and mining and more animal extinction.
The same practice occurs in fast-fashion and furniture. The practice of planned obsolescence by brands is highly unethical and unsustainable for the environment and the animals that live there.

The Counterpunch: Learn how to be a hacker, a fixer and an Inspector Gadget
Instead of giving in to consumerist FOMO and buying the latest iPhone or gadget; look to websites like Make Use Of, IKEA Hackers, The subreddit on Hacks, Tinkernuts on Youtube and Wikihow to learn hack, fix and reconfigure all of your tech, furniture and personal items and say ‘up yours’ to the greasy machine of commodification. Learn more about how to stop obsolescence.
Buy less clothes
Fast fashion is a mode of clothing production that is very cheap due to low labour costs in third world nations. Aside from the huge human rights issues with clothing production done in this way, fast fashion also has a devastating effect on the world’s natural resources. Consider that it takes nearly 2,000 gallons of water to produce one pair of jeans. According to one UN report:
The fashion industry produces 20 per cent of global wastewater and 10 per cent of global carbon emissions – more than all international flights and maritime shipping. Textile dyeing is the second largest polluter of water globally and it takes around 2,000 gallons of water to make a typical pair of jeans.
United Nations: putting the breaks on fast fashion.The Counterpunch: Reduce your clothing purchases
The good news is that you can contribute to slowing the pace of fast fashion by buying less clothes and buying clothes in biodegradable fabric like cotton, tencel or hemp. Before you hit ‘Buy Now’, ask yourself:
- Do I need these new clothes or shoes or are the ones I own still OK?
- Why do I want this item? Did I see an ad or see an influencer talking about this item and it made me want it?
- Bookmark the page and then revisit the website in a week’s time. If you still want the item of clothing, then perhaps you should get it. Often we are held hostage by momentary urges that go away after a short period of time.
- Am I feeling sad or frustrated or depressed? Is there something I am trying to escape by purchasing? Often we buy things to cheer ourselves up. This rarely works for more than a few hours, then you’re back to feeling sad again but with an emptier wallet.
A good place to start looking for fashion brands which may be sustainable is the B Corporation directory. You can filter your search to brands in a particular industry and part of the world.

If you’re ever tasked with implementing a cryptography feature–whether a high-level protocol or a low-level primitive–you will have to take special care to ensure you’re not leaking secret information through side-channels.
The descriptions of algorithms you learn in a classroom or textbook are not sufficient for real-world use. (Yes, that means your toy RSA implementation based on GMP from your computer science 101 class isn’t production-ready. Don’t deploy it.)
But what are these elusive side-channels exactly, and how do you prevent them? And in cases where you cannot prevent them, how can you mitigate the risk to your users?

Cryptographic Side-Channels
The concept of a side-channel isn’t inherently cryptographic, as Taylor Hornby demonstrates, but a side-channel can be a game over vulnerability in a system meant to maintain confidentiality (even if only for its cryptography keys).
Cryptographic side-channels allow an attacker to learn secret data from your cryptography system. To accomplish this, the attacker doesn’t necessarily study the system’s output (i.e. ciphertext); instead, they observe some other measurement, such as how much time or power was spent performing an operation, or what kind of electromagnetic radiation was emitted.
Important: While being resistant to side-channels is a prerequisite for implementations to be secure, it isn’t in and of itself sufficient for security. The underlying design of the primitives, constructions, and high-level protocols needs to be secure first, and that requires a clear and specific threat model for what you’re building.
Constant-time ECDSA doesn’t help you if you reuse k-values like it’s going out of style, but variable-time ECDSA still leaks your secret key to anyone who cares to probe your response times. Secure cryptography is very demanding.
Art by Riley.Timing Leaks
Timing side-channels leak secrets through how much time it takes for an operation to complete.
There are many different flavors of timing leakage, including:
- Fast-failing comparison functions (memcmp() in C)
- Cache-timing vulnerabilities (e.g. software AES)
- Memory access patterns
- Conditional branches controlled by secrets
The bad news about timing leaks is that they’re almost always visible to an attacker over the network (including over the Internet (PDF)).
The good news is that most of them can be prevented or mitigated in software.
Art by Kyume.Power Usage
Different algorithms or processor operations may require different amounts of power.
For example, squaring a large number may take less power than multiplying two different large numbers. This observation has led to the development of power analysis attacks against RSA.
Power analysis is especially relevant for embedded systems and smart cards, which are easier to extract a meaningful signal from than your desktop computer.
Some information leakage through power usage can be prevented through careful engineering (for example: BearSSL, which uses Montgomery multiplication instead of square-and-multiply).
But that’s not always an option, so generally these risks are mitigated.
My reaction when I first learned of power leaks: WATT (Art by Swizz)Electromagnetic Emissions
Your computer is a reliable source of electromagnetic emissions (such as radio waves). Some of these emissions may reveal information about your cryptographic secrets, especially to an attacker with physical proximity to your device.
The good news is that research into EM emission side-channels isn’t as mature as side-channels through timing leaks or power usage. The bad news is that mitigations for breakthroughs will generally require hardware (e.g. electromagnetic shielding).
Aren’t computers terrifying? (Art by Swizz)Side-Channel Prevention and Mitigation
Now that we’ve established a rough sense of some of the types of side-channels that are possible, we can begin to identify what causes them and aspire to prevent the leaks from happening–and where we can’t, to mitigate the risk to a reasonable level.
Note: To be clear, I didn’t cover all of the types of side-channels.
Prevention vs. Mitigation
Preventing a side-channel means eliminating the conditions that allow the information leak to occur in the first place. For timing leaks, this means making all algorithms constant-time.
There are entire classes of side-channel leaks that aren’t possible or practical to mitigate in software. When you encounter one, the best you can hope to do is mitigate the risk.
Ideally, you want to make the attack more expensive to pull off than the reward an attacker will gain from it.
What is Constant-Time?
Toto, I don’t think we’re in Tanelorn Kansas anymore.When an implementation is said to be constant-time, what we mean is that the execution time of the code is not a function of its secret inputs.
Vulnerable AES uses table look-ups to implement the S-Box. Constant-time AES is either implemented in hardware, or is bitsliced.
Malicious Environments and Algorithmic Constant-Time
One of the greatest challenges with writing constant-time code is distinguishing between algorithmic constant-time and provably constant-time. The main difference between the two is that you cannot trust your compiler (especially a JIT compiler), which may attempt to optimize your code in a way that reintroduces the side-channel you aspired to remove.
A sufficiently advanced compiler optimization is indistinguishable from an adversary.
John Regehr, possibly with apologies to Arthur C. Clarke
For compiled languages, this is a tractable but expensive problem to solve: You simply have to formally verify everything from the source code to the compiler to the silicon chips that the code will be deployed on, and then audit your supply chain to prevent malicious tampering from going undetected.
For interpreted languages (e.g. PHP and JavaScript), this formal verification strategy isn’t really an option, unless you want to formally verify the runtime that interprets scripts and prove that the operations remain constant-time on top of all the other layers of distrust.
Is this level of paranoia really worth the effort?
For our cases, anyway! (Art by Khia.)For that reason, we’re going to assume that algorithmic constant-time is adequate for the duration of this blog post.
If your threat model prevents you from accepting this assumption, feel free to put in the extra effort yourself and tell me how it goes. After all, as a furry who writes blog posts in my spare time for fun, I don’t exactly have the budget for massive research projects in formal verification.
Mitigation with Blinding Techniques
The best mitigation for some side-channels is called blinding: Obfuscating the inputs with some random data, then deobfuscating the outputs with the same random data, such that your keys are not revealed.
Two well-known examples include RSA decryption and Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman. I’ll focus on the latter, since it’s not as widely covered in the literature (although several cryptographers I’ve talked with were somehow knowledgeable about it; I suspect gatekeeping is involved).
Blinded ECDH Key Exchange
In typical ECDH implementations, you will convert a point on a Weierstrass curve to a Jacobian coordinate system .
The exact conversion formula is (, ). The conversion almost makes intuitive sense.
Where does come from though?
Art by circuitslimeIt turns out, the choice for is totally arbitrary. Libraries typically set it equal to 1 (for best performance), but you can also set it to a random number. (You cannot set it to 0, however, for obvious reasons.)
Choosing a random number means the calculations performed over Jacobian coordinates will be obscured by a randomly chosen factor (and thus, if is only used once per scalar multiplication, the bitwise signal the attackers rely on will be lost).
Blinding techniques are cool. (Art by Khia.)I think it’s really cool how one small tweak to the runtime of an algorithm can make it significantly harder to attack.
Design Patterns for Algorithmic Constant-Time Code
Mitigation techniques are cool, but preventing side-channels is a better value-add for most software.
To that end, let’s look at some design patterns for constant-time software. Some of these are relatively common; others, not so much.
Art by Scout Pawfoot.If you prefer TypeScript / JavaScirpt, check out Soatok’s constant-time-js library on Github / NPM.
Constant-Time String Comparison
Rather than using string comparison (== in most programming languages, memcmp() in C), you want to compare cryptographic secrets and/or calculated integrity checks with a secure compare algorithm, which looks like this:
- Initialize a variable (let’s call it D) to zero.
- For each byte of the two strings:
- Calculate (lefti XOR righti)
- Bitwise OR the current value of D with the result of the XOR, store the output in D
- When the loop has concluded, D will be equal to 0 if and only if the two strings are equal.
In code form, it looks like this:
<?phpfunction ct_compare(string $left, string $right): bool{ $d = 0; $length = mb_strlen($left, '8bit'); if (mb_strlen($right, '8bit') !== $length) { return false; // Lengths differ } for ($i = 0; $i < $length; ++$i) { $leftCharCode = unpack('C', $left[$i])[1]; $rightCharCode = unpack('C', $right[$i])[1]; $d |= ($leftCharCode ^ $rightCharCode); } return $d === 0;}In this example, I’m using PHP’s unpack() function to avoid cache-timing leaks with ord() and chr(). Of course, you can simply use hash_equals() instead of writing it yourself (PHP 5.6.0+).
Alternative: “Double HMAC” String Comparison
If the previous algorithm won’t work (i.e. because you’re concerned your JIT compiler will optimize it away), there is a popular alternative to consider. It’s called “Double HMAC” because it was traditionally used with Encrypt-Then-HMAC schemes.
The algorithm looks like this:
- Generate a random 256-bit key, K. (This can be cached between invocations, but it should be unpredictable.)
- Calculate HMAC-SHA256(K, left).
- Calculate HMAC-SHA256(K, right).
- Return true if the outputs of step 2 and 3 are equal.
This is provably secure, so long as HMAC-SHA256 is a secure pseudo-random function and the key K is unknown to the attacker.
In code form, the Double HMAC compare function looks like this:
<?phpfunction hmac_compare(string $left, string $right): bool{ static $k = null; if (!$k) $k = random_bytes(32); return ( hash_hmac('sha256', $left, $k) === hash_hmac('sha256', $right, $k) );}Constant-Time Conditional Select
I like to imagine a conversation between a cryptography engineer and a Zen Buddhist, that unfolds like so:
- CE: “I want to eliminate branching side-channels from my code.”
- ZB: “Then do not have branches in your code.”
And that is precisely what we intend to do with a constant-time conditional select: Eliminate branches by conditionally returning between one of two strings, without an IF statement.
Mind. Blown. (Art by Khia.)This isn’t as tricky as it sounds. We’re going to use XOR and two’s complement to achieve this.
The algorithm looks like this:
- Convert the selection bit (TRUE/FALSE) into a mask value (-1 for TRUE, 0 for FALSE). Bitwise, -1 looks like 111111111…1111111111, while 0 looks like 00000000…00000000.
- Copy the right string into a buffer, call it tmp.
- Calculate left XOR right, call it x.
- Return (tmp XOR (x AND mask)).
Once again, in code this algorithm looks like this:
<?phpfunction ct_select( bool $returnLeft, string $left, string $right): string { $length = mb_strlen($left, '8bit'); if (mb_strlen($right, '8bit') !== $length) { throw new Exception('ct_select() expects two strings of equal length'); } // Mask byte $mask = (-$returnLeft) & 0xff; // X $x = (string) ($left ^ $right); // Output = Right XOR (X AND Mask) $output = ''; for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) { $rightCharCode = unpack('C', $right[$i])[1]; $xCharCode = unpack('C', $x[$i])[1]; $output .= pack( 'C', $rightCharCode ^ ($xCharCode & $mask) ); } return $output;}You can test this code for yourself here. The function was designed to read intuitively like a ternary operator.
A Word of Caution on Cleverness
In some languages, it may seem tempting to use the bitwise trickery to swap out pointers instead of returning a new buffer. But do not fall for this Siren song.
If, instead of returning a new buffer, you just swap pointers, what you’ll end up doing is creating a timing leak through your memory access patterns. This can culminate in a timing vulnerability, but even if your data is too big to fit in a processor’s cache line (I dunno, Post-Quantum RSA keys?), there’s another risk to consider.
Virtual memory addresses are just beautiful lies. Where your data lives on the actual hardware memory is entirely up to the kernel. You can have two blobs with contiguous virtual memory addresses that live on separate memory pages, or even separate RAM chips (if you have multiple).
If you’re swapping pointers around, and they point to two different pieces of hardware, and one is slightly faster to read from than the other, you can introduce yet another timing attack through which pointer is being referenced by the processor.
It’s timing leaks all the ways down! (Art by Swizz)If you’re swapping between X and Y before performing a calculation, where:
- X lives on RAM chip 1, which takes 3 ns to read
- Y lives on RAM chip 2, which takes 4 ns to read
…then the subsequent use of the swapped pointers reveals whether you’re operating on X or Y in the timing: It will take slightly longer to read from Y than from X.
The best way to mitigate this problem is to never design your software to have it in the first place. Don’t be clever on this one.
Constant-Time String Inequality Comparison
Sometimes you don’t just need to know if two strings are equal, you also need to know which one is larger than the other.
To accomplish this in constant-time, we need to maintain two state variables:
- gt (initialized to 0, will be set to 1 at some point if left > right)
- eq (initialized to 1, will be set to 0 at some point if left != right)
Endian-ness will dictate the direction our algorithm goes, but we’re going to perform two operations in each cycle:
- gt should be bitwise ORed with (eq AND ((right – left) right shifted 8 times)
- eq should be bitwise ANDed with ((right XOR left) – 1) right shifted 8 times
If right and left are ever different, eq will be set to 0.
If the first time they’re different the value for lefti is greater than the value for righti, then the subtraction will produce a negative number. Right shifting a negative number 8 places then bitwise ANDing the result with eq (which is only 1 until two bytes differ, and then 0 henceforth if they do) will result in a value for 1 with gt. Thus, if (righti – lefti) is negative, gt will be set to 1. Otherwise, it remains 0.
At the end of this loop, return (gt + gt + eq) – 1. This will result in the following possible values:
- left < right: -1
- left == right: 0
- left > right: 1
The arithmetic based on the possible values of gt and eq should be straightforward.
- Different (eq == 0) but not greater (gt == 0) means left < right, -1.
- Different (eq == 0) and greater (gt == 1) means left > right, 1.
- If eq == 1, no bytes ever differed, so left == right, 0.
A little endian implementation is as follows:
<?phpfunction str_compare(string $left, string $right): int{ $length = mb_strlen($left, '8bit'); if (mb_strlen($right, '8bit') !== $length) { throw new Exception('ct_select() expects two strings of equal length'); } $gt = 0; $eq = 1; $i = $length; while ($i > 0) { --$i; $leftCharCode = unpack('C', $left[$i])[1]; $rightCharCode = unpack('C', $right[$i])[1]; $gt |= (($rightCharCode - $leftCharCode) >> 8) & $eq; $eq &= (($rightCharCode ^ $leftCharCode) -1) >> 8; } return ($gt + $gt + $eq) - 1;}Demo for this function is available here.
Constant-Time Integer Multiplication
Multiplying two integers is one of those arithmetic operations that should be constant-time. But on many older processors, it isn’t.
Of course there’s a microarchitecture timing leak! (Art by Khia.)Fortunately, there is a workaround. It involves an algorithm called Ancient Egyptian Multiplication in some places or Peasant Multiplication in others.
Multiplying two numbers and this way looks like this:
- Determine the number of operations you need to perform. Generally, this is either known ahead of time or .
- Set to 0.
- Until the operation count reaches zero:
- If the lowest bit of is set, add to .
- Left shift by 1.
- Right shfit by 1.
- Return .
The main caveat here is that you want to use bitwise operators in step 3.1 to remove the conditional branch.
Rather than bundle example code in our blog post, please refer to the implementation in sodium_compat (a pure PHP polyfill for libsodium).
For big number libraries, implementing Karatsuba on top of this integer multiplying function should be faster than attempting to multiply bignums this way.
Constant-Time Integer Division
Although some cryptography algorithms call for integer division, division isn’t usually expected to be constant-time.
However, if you look up a division algorithm for unsigned integers with a remainder, you’ll likely encounter this algorithm, which is almost constant-time:
if D = 0 then error(DivisionByZeroException) endQ := 0 -- Initialize quotient and remainder to zeroR := 0 for i := n − 1 .. 0 do -- Where n is number of bits in N R := R << 1 -- Left-shift R by 1 bit R(0) := N(i) -- Set the least-significant bit of R equal to bit i of the numerator if R ≥ D then R := R − D Q(i) := 1 endendIf we use the tricks we learned from implementing constant-time string inequality with constant-time conditional selection, we can implement this algorithm without timing leaks.
Our constant-time version of this algorithm looks like this:
if D = 0 then error(DivisionByZeroException) endQ := 0 -- Initialize quotient and remainder to zeroR := 0 for i := n − 1 .. 0 do -- Where n is number of bits in N R := R << 1 -- Left-shift R by 1 bit R(0) := N(i) -- Set the least-significant bit of R equal to bit i of the numerator compared := ct_compare(R, D) -- Use constant-time inequality -- if R > D then compared == 1, swap = 1 -- if R == D then compared == 0, swap = 1 -- if R < D then compared == -1, swap = 0 swap := (1 - ((compared >> 31) & 1)) -- R' = R - D -- Q' = Q, Q[i] = 1 Rprime := R - D Qprime := Q Qprime(i) := 1 -- The i'th bit is set to 1 -- Replace (R with R', Q with Q') if swap == 1 R = ct_select(swap, Rprime, R) Q = ct_select(swap, Qprime, Q)endIt’s approximately twice as slow as the original, but it’s constant-time.
(Art by Khia.)Constant-Time Modular Inversion
Modular inversion is the calculation of for some prime . This is used in a lot of places, but especially in elliptic curve cryptography and RSA.
Daniel J. Bernstein and Bo-Yin Yang published a paper on fast constant-time GCD and Modular Inversion in 2019. The algorithm in question is somewhat straightforward to implement (although determining whether or not that implementation is safe is left as an exercise to the rest of us).
A simpler technique is to use Fermat’s Little Theorem: for some prime . This only works with prime fields, and is slower than a Binary GCD (which isn’t necessarily constant-time, as OpenSSL discovered).
BearSSL provides an implementation (and accompanying documentation) for a constant-time modular inversion algorithm based on Binary GCD.
(In the future, I may update this section of this blog post with an implementation in PHP, using the GMP extension.)
Constant-Time Null-Byte Trimming
Shortly after this guide first went online, security researchers published the Raccoon Attack, which used a timing leak in the number of leading 0 bytes in the pre-master secret–combined with a lattice attack to solve the hidden number problem–to break TLS-DH(E).
To solve this, you need two components:
- A function that returns a slice of an array without timing leaks.
- A function that counts the number of significant bytes (i.e. ignores leading zero bytes, counts from the first non-zero byte).
A timing-safe array resize function needs to do two things:
- Touch every byte of the input array once.
- Touch every byte of the output array at least once, linearly. The constant-time division algorithm is useful here (to calculate x mod n for the output array index).
- Conditionally select between input[x] and the existing output[x_mod_n], based on whether x >= target size.
I’ve implemented this in my constant-time-js library:

Errata
- 2020-08-27: The original version of this blog post incorrectly attributed Jacobian coordinate blinding to ECDSA hardening, rather than ECDH hardening. This error was brought to my attention by Thai Duong. Thanks Thai!
- 2020-08-27: Erin correctly pointed out that omitting memory access timing was a disservice to developers, who might not be aware of the risks involved. I’ve updated the post to call this risk out specifically (especially in the conditional select code, which some developers might try to implement with pointer swapping without knowing the risks involved). Thanks Erin!
I hope you find this guide to side-channels helpful.

Prerequisite
Before we begin setting up our project, we need to ensure a webdriver is installed on our dev environment. We will be using Laravel Dusk for web interaction tests which will use a headless version of the Chrome browser. If you are using Homestead, you can go ahead and set “webdriver” to true and provision your server.
Learn more about Laravel Homestead or DDEV with Docker for local Laravel development.
When running through your provisioning script, it will download and install the Chrome driver ready to be used via Dusk.
Testing is very much an optional part of development, but it is highly recommended you try it out since many companies and developers are looking at TDD and testing as a requirement.
Creating the project
First you need to create our application. If you have Homestead running, then you can SSH into your box and cd into your code directory. Here you can run laravel new blog or you can use composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog if you don’t have the Laravel installer setup. Now you can open the project using your favourite editor.
Don’t forget to setup the database and point your server configuration to the new project.
Now you have your project setup, we can move on and create everything needed for user authentication including registering and logging in a user.
Backend AuthenticationCreating your first PHPUnit tests
Next, we will be adding some tests for user authentication. You will need to run php artisan make:test UserLoginTest which will create UserLoginTest.php in your tests/Feature directory.
If you run ./vendor/bin/phpunit you can see how the command works. Your test will pass because of the boilerplate code, but you’ll be removing that and updating it with some real tests.
Delete the “testExample” method and replace it with this code…
use RefreshDatabase; public function testUserLogsInSuccessfully() { $user = User::factory()->create([ 'email' => '[email protected]', 'password' => Hash::make('secret') ]); $response = $this->post('/login', [ 'email' => '[email protected]', 'password' => 'secret' ]); $response->assertRedirect('/home'); $this->assertTrue(Auth::check()); $this->assertTrue(Auth::user()->is($user)); } public function testUserLogsInUnsuccessfully() { $user = User::factory()->create([ 'email' => '[email protected]', 'password' => Hash::make('secret') ]); $response = $this->post('/login', [ 'email' => '[email protected]', 'password' => 'incorrect-password' ]); $response->assertSessionHasErrors(['email']); $this->assertFalse(Auth::check()); }
use RefreshDatabase; tells PHPUnit that in order to run our test, we need to have our tables setup and empty in order to continue.
Inside of testUserLogsInSuccessfully method, we create a user factory inside the database with the email “[email protected]” and password “secret“. The response is then sending a post request to “/login” with what will be the correct email and password. The test should then expect to receive a redirect to “/home“. The next assertion expects Auth::check() to be true and finally, the last assertion expects the correct authenticated user to match the user within the database and that will return true.
The testUserLogsInUnsuccessfully will create the same user, but we will purposely use the incorrect details and expect our response to return an error with our email address. It will then check the authentication has failed, which will be true.
Replace your use statements with this code
use App\Models\User;use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase;use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\WithFaker;use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;use Tests\TestCase;
And now you can run ./vendor/bin/phpunit to run the test suite. Of course this will fail and you’ll see why soon.
First off, we need to add a database connection into our phpunit.xml file. Open it up and add the following before the closing tag.
When we run our tests, we will be using sqlite in memory. This means that a database will never be created on our system and once tests are finished, all the data will be cleared.
Laravel version 7 and 8
From Laravel version 7, all controller files within the auth directory have been removed and placed into laravel/ui. For the purposes of this course, we’re going to recreate these ourselves, however to begin we will need to enter the following composer require laravel/ui in order to get started.
Authentication Routes
First thing you need to do is add the authentication routes. Head over to routes/web.php and add…
Authentication Controllers
Next, you need to create the home controller file in app/Http/Controllers/HomeController.php or by running the artisan command php artisan make:controller HomeController if you run the latter command, then remove the code and add the folowing…
middleware('auth'); } /** * Show the application dashboard. * * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Renderable */ public function index() { return view('home'); }}
Within the app/Http/Controllers directory we’ll create a new folder called Auth. Inside our Auth directory, we want to make the following controllers with the following code.
ConfirmPasswordController.phpmiddleware('auth'); }}LoginController.phpmiddleware('guest')->except('logout'); }}RegisterController.phpmiddleware('guest'); } /** * Get a validator for an incoming registration request. * * @param array $data * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator */ protected function validator(array $data) { return Validator::make($data, [ 'name' => ['required', 'string', 'max:255'], 'email' => ['required', 'string', 'email', 'max:255', 'unique:users'], 'password' => ['required', 'string', 'min:8', 'confirmed'], ]); } /** * Create a new user instance after a valid registration. * * @param array $data * @return \App\User */ protected function create(array $data) { return User::create([ 'name' => $data['name'], 'email' => $data['email'], 'password' => Hash::make($data['password']), ]); }}ResetPasswordController.php
If you run ./vendor/bin/phpunit your PHPUnit tests should pass and you have finished this part of the course. If your test fails, it will display an error which will help you fix the test. Be sure not to change the test, but update the code the test is relying on to get the test to green.
Adding Laravel Dusk for browser tests
We will be creating this app using TDD which involves creating the tests first to describe our application and having them fail at first. We will then write the application code that will get tests passing. In order to do this you should install Dusk as it will be a part of your testing suite via composer require --dev laravel/dusk.
If you’re not using Homestead and don’t have the Chrome driver set up, you might be able to run php artisan dusk:chrome-driver and chmod -R 0755 vendor/laravel/dusk/bin/ to ensure permissions are set correctly.
Once composer has installed the dependancy, you can go ahead a run php artisan dusk:install which will create DuskTestCase.php and ExampleTest.php plus a bunch of other boilerplate code in our tests directory.
If you’re not using Homestead, you may need to change your DuskTestCase.php inside your tests directory. If you’re like me and you’re running Laravel on DDEV, then go ahead and update it to the following…
return RemoteWebDriver::create( 'http://selenium-hub:4444/wd/hub', DesiredCapabilities::chrome()->setCapability( ChromeOptions::CAPABILITY, $options ) );
You may also find this blog post of interest.
To ensure everything runs correctly, you will need to run php artisan dusk which will run our ExampleTest.php. It may take a moment to run, but with any luck you should see a green passing test.
If you receive any errors, then please visit the prerequisites to ensure everything has been installed correctly. Go ahead and delete ExampleTest.php as it will no longer be needed.
Frontend AuthenticationCreating your first Laravel Dusk tests
With Dusk setup and ready to go, you can create your first test by running php artisan dusk:make UserLoginTest.php.
Closing thoughts
This has mostly been boilerplate Laravel authentication as we are trying to replicate a traditional Laravel app. In the next episode, you’ll be looking at implementing the frontend authentication and registration using Laravel Dusk.

Using a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B as a router/firewall for the home LAN
Since 1999 I have been using a 1996 vintage DEC PII desktop as the router/firewall between the internet and my home network. The DEC computer came to me with Win95 (or possibly Win98) in 1998, got SuSE linux and started its mission as router and firewall (and CUPS server, and IMAP server, and various other server stuff). When upgrading the SuSE installation to a newer version went south, it spent a while running ThomasEz’s floppyfw, until I used a floppy net install to install debian potato, immediately switched it to debian testing, until debian woody arrived, when it was moved to debian stable, and then I just kept running “apt-get dist-upgrade” until I finally had it running debian 8 “jessie” on june 6 in 2015.
The old DEC desktop has survived its maker company, survived lightning strikes that have sent the power supplies and/or main boards of other computers on the same LAN into continously beeping mode (i.e. broken). However, in December 2015 it started acting up, and crashing with irregular intervals (sometimes two weeks, sometimes one day).
So… the time for a replacement would have to be not too far ahead. The question was what to replace it with?
The simplest solution would be to just get a wireless router with a cabled switch. But that would mean:
- No possibilities for SSH or mosh into the home LAN
- No ntop
- No support for netboot and TFTP in the home LAN
- Limited, cumbersome and inflexible firewall setup
My requirements were:
- Cheap
- Two wired NICs
- The ability to run debian
- Preferrably fanless
- Compact
ThomasEz immediately suggested using a raspberry pi with two NICs, but I thought that would be too puny, and I investigated alternatives like Shuttle Barebone DS57U but I found that the raspberry pi alternative was so cheap, I might as well order one.
And then it turned out to be so simple to set up so I had it up and running before I really had decided on anything, so now the r-pi is what I have.
This is what I ordered:
- Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Starter Kit
- TP-Link UE300 USB 3.0 to GbE Adapter (it was listed as being supported out of the box on raspberry pi)
Here’s what I did:
- Downloaded the Raspbian Jessie Lite image to a debian jessie computer and unpacked it into the /tmp directory
- Plugged an USB SD card reader into the debian computer, and followed the instructions in Installing operating system images on Linux
- I plugged the cheapest USB keyboard I could get from my local teknikmagasinet store into one of the USB port, yanked the HDMI cable from the DVD player and plugged the r-pi into the TV, plugged a network cable into the local LAN, and plugged in the power… and the raspberry pi booted quickly into the familiar debian login
- I logged in with the built-in “pi” user with password “raspberry”, and created my own user with the following command line command:
adduser sb
the changed the password of the root user and removed the pi user
- I copied in a public ssh keys from my other computers, and put them into the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file and then opened /etc/ssh/sshd_conf in a text editor and modified it in the following way:
- Disabled root login by changing
PermitRootLogin without-password
to
PermitRootLogin no
- Disabled password login by changing
#PasswordAuthentication yes
to
PasswordAuthentication no
(removed the comment and changed “yes” to “no”)
- Disabled root login by changing
- Edited /etc/hostname to change the name from the default “raspberrypi” to “ocon”
- Rebooted the pi to check the startup state of the ssh daemon and ssh’d in
- Resized the disk to fill the entire SD card:
- Typed the command
raspi-config
- Selected
1 Expand Filesystem Ensures that all of the SD card storage is available to the OS
and got the response
Root partition has been resized.The filesystem will be enlarged upon the next reboot
- Rebooted the system to get the full 16GB in the file system
- Typed the command
- Updated the system by giving the following command line commands:
apt-get updateapt-get dist-upgrade
(the “update” command updates the local package database against the package servers. The “dist-upgrade” command upgrades all packages that have a newer version, and the required dependencies)
- Installed some useful software:
- GNU emacs (my favorite text editor)
apt-get install emacs
- mosh
apt-get install mosh
- git (I’ve got my home directory versioned in git)
apt-get install git
- rcs (I use it to version control operating system configuration files)
apt-get install rcs
- GNU emacs (my favorite text editor)
- I cloned my home directory in git and created a new branch (I have a different branch for each computer)
- I set the built-in NIC permanently as eth0:
export INTERFACE=eth0export MATCHADDR=`ip addr show $INTERFACE | grep ether | awk '{print $2}'`/lib/udev/write_net_rules - I added configuration for a second NIC by adding the following to /etc/network/interfaces:
# The internal network cardallow-hotplug eth1iface eth1 inet static address 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
- I plugged in the USB NIC to have it appear, and then made the USB NIC permanently eth1 with the following command line commands:
export INTERFACE=eth1export MATCHADDR=`ip addr show $INTERFACE | grep ether | awk '{print $2}'`/lib/udev/write_net_rules - Installed dnsmasq
apt-get install dnsmasq
- Edited /etc/dnsmasq.conf to make dnsmasq respond to DHCP requests on eth1:
- Removed the comment in front of
#interface=
and set “eth1” as the value:
interface=eth1
- Uncommented the domain directive
#domain=thekelleys.org.uk
and changed it to my domain
domain=hjemme.lan
- Uncommented the dhcp-range directive
#dhcp-range=192.168.0.50,192.168.0.150,12h
and changed it to a 10.10.10.* range with a 5h lease on the addresses
# Our HOME LAN 5h lease timedhcp-range=10.10.10.6,10.10.10.40,5h
- Removed the comment in front of
- Opened the /etc/hosts file in a text editor and added the raspberry pi itself, to so that DNS lookups of the raspberry pi will work in a LAN where the raspberry pi is handling the DHCP requests (dnsmasq will handle DNS requests for the IP addresses it has given DHCP leases to, as well as what it finds in the hosts file. The rest is delegated to the upstream DNS server)

- Edited the /etc/sysctl.conf file to set up IPv4 routing in the linux kernel, removed the comment in front of the net.ipv4.ip_forward line:
# Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for IPv4net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
- ferm is a utility that makes it easy to set the routing and firewall rules at boot time
- Installed ferm using apt-get from a command line:
apt-get install ferm
- Modified the /etc/ferm/ferm.conf file to allow everything inside t oroute out, but only allow ssh in
@def $DEV_WORLD = eth0;@def $DEV_PRIVATE = eth1;def $NET_PRIVATE = 10.10.10.0/24;table filter { chain INPUT { policy DROP; # connection tracking mod state state INVALID DROP; mod state state (ESTABLISHED RELATED) ACCEPT; # allow local packet interface lo ACCEPT; # allow private net interface $DEV_PRIVATE ACCEPT; # respond to ping proto icmp ACCEPT; # allow IPsec proto udp dport 500 ACCEPT; proto (esp ah) ACCEPT; # allow SSH connections proto tcp dport ssh ACCEPT; } chain OUTPUT { policy ACCEPT; # connection tracking #mod state state INVALID DROP; mod state state (ESTABLISHED RELATED) ACCEPT; } chain FORWARD { policy DROP; # connection tracking mod state state INVALID DROP; mod state state (ESTABLISHED RELATED) ACCEPT; # connections from the internal net to the internet or # to other internal nets are allowed interface $DEV_PRIVATE ACCEPT; # the rest is dropped by the above policy }}table nat { chain POSTROUTING { # masquerade private IP addresses saddr $NET_PRIVATE outerface $DEV_WORLD MASQUERADE; }}
- Installed ferm using apt-get from a command line:
- The version of ferm in “jessie” doesn’t start at boot, because “jessie” dropped SYSV init in favour of systemd, and the version of ferm in “jessie” doesn’t have a systemd configuration, so I needed to manually download and install the version of ferm from debian testing (I downloaded from regular debian, since ferm doesn’t have anything platform specific):
cd /tmpwget http://ftp.no.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/ferm/ferm_2.2-5_all.debdpkg --install /tmp/ferm_2.2-5_all.deb
- fail2ban monitors log files of daemons and adjust the firewall rules to temporary ban hosts it suspects of intrusion attempts. The debian (and raspbian) version of fail2ban will out of the box scan the logs for ssh intrusion attempts, so no configuration is necessary
- To have an easy way of monitoring the network traffic in and out of the home LAN, I installed ntop ng
apt-get install ntopng
after the installation it is possible to monitor the network traffic by accessing http://ocon.hjemme.lan:3000 (the interesting traffic will be seen after selecting eth1)
- The Network Time Protocol is how computers stay in sync, installing the ntp package will make the gateway keep network time, a
apt-get install ntp
- Opened the /etc/ntp.conf file in a text editor, and modified it to provide an NTP deamon for the home LAN, uncommented the “broadcast” line and modified the network match to match the 10.10.10.* network:
# If you want to provide time to your local subnet, change the next line.# (Again, the address is an example only.)broadcast 10.10.10.255
- Installed the apticron utility to make sure that the APT database is updated daily with new candidates for update
apt-get install apticron
The original plan was to run the raspberry pi headless, but since I had an old VGA only LCD display for the old DEC computer I might as well hook it up the raspberry pi, together with the cheap USB keyboard used for setup.
I bought an HDMI to VGA converter with the manufacturer id VLMP34900W0.20. I plugged it in between the display and the raspberry-pi the display stayed black. I edited the /boot/config.txt file, removing the comment in front of the hdmi_safe line:
# uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" modehdmi_safe=1
I rebooted the raspberry pi, and this time the LCD displayed showed the boot messages as well as a normal console login prompt.
The raspberry pi 2 model B, with an extra USB NIC, a USB keyboard and connected to a VGA display using an HDMI to VGA converterAnd this is where the current state is. One initial concern was flash wear on the SD card, which doesn’t have the wear leveling features of a “real” SSD, so I had some plans on making the /var/log use tmpfs.
But I decided not to, since having real persistent logs is a useful thing for a gateway, and since 16GB is actually an awful lot of data if all you do is to write textual files. And ff the SD card wears out I’ll just by a new SD card, and make a new system. Since I now know how, this shouldn’t take long

- I cloned my home directory in git and created a new branch (I have a different branch for each computer)
- I set the built-in NIC permanently as eth0:
export INTERFACE=eth0export MATCHADDR=`ip addr show $INTERFACE | grep ether | awk '{print $2}'`/lib/udev/write_net_rules - I added configuration for a second NIC by adding the following to /etc/network/interfaces:
# The internal network cardallow-hotplug eth1iface eth1 inet static address 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
- I plugged in the USB NIC to have it appear, and then made the USB NIC permanently eth1 with the following command line commands:
export INTERFACE=eth1export MATCHADDR=`ip addr show $INTERFACE | grep ether | awk '{print $2}'`/lib/udev/write_net_rules - Installed dnsmasq
apt-get install dnsmasq
- Edited /etc/dnsmasq.conf to make dnsmasq respond to DHCP requests on eth1:
- Removed the comment in front of
#interface=
and set “eth1” as the value:
interface=eth1
- Uncommented the domain directive
#domain=thekelleys.org.uk
and changed it to my domain
domain=hjemme.lan
- Uncommented the dhcp-range directive
#dhcp-range=192.168.0.50,192.168.0.150,12h
and changed it to a 10.10.10.* range with a 5h lease on the addresses
# Our HOME LAN 5h lease timedhcp-range=10.10.10.6,10.10.10.40,5h
- Removed the comment in front of
- Opened the /etc/hosts file in a text editor and added the raspberry pi itself, to so that DNS lookups of the raspberry pi will work in a LAN where the raspberry pi is handling the DHCP requests (dnsmasq will handle DNS requests for the IP addresses it has given DHCP leases to, as well as what it finds in the hosts file. The rest is delegated to the upstream DNS server)

- Edited the /etc/sysctl.conf file to set up IPv4 routing in the linux kernel, removed the comment in front of the net.ipv4.ip_forward line:
# Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for IPv4net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
- ferm is a utility that makes it easy to set the routing and firewall rules at boot time
- Installed ferm using apt-get from a command line:
apt-get install ferm
- Modified the /etc/ferm/ferm.conf file to allow everything inside t oroute out, but only allow ssh in

- Installed ferm using apt-get from a command line:
- The version of ferm in “jessie” doesn’t start at boot, because “jessie” dropped SYSV init in favour of systemd, and the version of ferm in “jessie” doesn’t have a systemd configuration, so I needed to manually download and install the version of ferm from debian testing (I downloaded from regular debian, since ferm doesn’t have anything platform specific):
cd /tmpwget http://ftp.no.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/ferm/ferm_2.2-5_all.debdpkg --install /tmp/ferm_2.2-5_all.deb
- fail2ban monitors log files of daemons and adjust the firewall rules to temporary ban hosts it suspects of intrusion attempts. The debian (and raspbian) version of fail2ban will out of the box scan the logs for ssh intrusion attempts, so no configuration is necessary
- To have an easy way of monitoring the network traffic in and out of the home LAN, I installed ntop ng
apt-get install ntopng
after the installation it is possible to monitor the network traffic by accessing http://ocon.hjemme.lan:3000 (the interesting traffic will be seen after selecting eth1)
- The Network Time Protocol is how computers stay in sync, installing the ntp package will make the gateway keep network time, a
apt-get install ntp
- Opened the /etc/ntp.conf file in a text editor, and modified it to provide an NTP deamon for the home LAN, uncommented the “broadcast” line and modified the network match to match the 10.10.10.* network:
# If you want to provide time to your local subnet, change the next line.# (Again, the address is an example only.)broadcast 10.10.10.255
- Installed the apticron utility to make sure that the APT database is updated daily with new candidates for update
apt-get install apticron
The original plan was to run the raspberry pi headless, but since I had an old VGA only LCD display for the old DEC computer I might as well hook it up the raspberry pi, together with the cheap USB keyboard used for setup.
I bought an HDMI to VGA converter with the manufacturer id VLMP34900W0.20. I plugged it in between the display and the raspberry-pi the display stayed black. I edited the /boot/config.txt file, removing the comment in front of the hdmi_safe line:
# uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" modehdmi_safe=1
I rebooted the raspberry pi, and this time the LCD displayed showed the boot messages as well as a normal console login prompt.
The raspberry pi 2 model B, with an extra USB NIC, a USB keyboard and connected to a VGA display using an HDMI to VGA converterAnd this is where the current state is. One initial concern was flash wear on the SD card, which doesn’t have the wear leveling features of a “real” SSD, so I had some plans on making the /var/log use tmpfs.
But I decided not to, since having real persistent logs is a useful thing for a gateway, and since 16GB is actually an awful lot of data if all you do is to write textual files. And ff the SD card wears out I’ll just by a new SD card, and make a new system. Since I now know how, this shouldn’t take long
