20yrs building for the web. https://t.co/7n1zkfYSNT and https://t.co/ck3JQS3Wrh + shipping indie tools.



✨ I built a Cursor-style right sidebar on my site Photo AI which is a regular AI chatbot BUT it can fully control my app! It can take photos of you, or shoot videos, run photo packs, remix content you upload etc. anything you see in the interface. Like an AI photographer that does everything for you inside the web app The convo history is stored in localStorage, and the chat uses @xAI Grok 4 to send messages, there I define the tools it can use, and when it gets a response JS controls the site like prompt textareas, or photo pack section, or take photo button It also knows what's on your screen, so you can say you want to mix the blue jacket from one photo and the red hair from the other A few weeks ago I told @yasser_elsaid_ it'd be cool if Chatbase (an AI customer support pop up chat) would be able to fully control my site too, and this week I saw @FarzaTV building an AI desktop app that fully controls his computer too so I think that's where things are going, you don't see it on the web that much though Very fun to build and hopefully useful for people!!!



#pixelart character design. exploring new faces, forms and expressions --- little shotgun-piggy is my favorite :D
