Wouldn't it be neat if you could use LLMs to create little personal utility apps as the need arises? Here's a story where I did just that...| www.geoffreylitt.com
Welcome! I work on malleable software: computing environments where anyone can adapt their software to meet their needs with minimal friction. To see what that means to me, read this essay or listen to this interview.| www.geoffreylitt.com
What if we thought of LLMs as tools for inspiring human creativity, not giving us answers? A meta-conversation with ChatGPT| www.geoffreylitt.com
A lot of people say AI will make us all “managers” or “editors”…but I think this is a dangerously incomplete view!| www.geoffreylitt.com
I want to tell you about a neat experience I had with AI-assisted programming this week. What’s unusual here is: the AI didn’t write a single line of my code. Instead, I used AI to build a custom debugger UI… which made it more fun for me to do the coding myself.| www.geoffreylitt.com

There’s a lot of hype these days around patterns for building with AI. Agents, memory, RAG, assistants—so many buzzwords! But the reality is, you don’t need fancy techniques or libraries to build useful personal tools with LLMs.| www.geoffreylitt.com
