AI Experiments

Carefully scoped AI helpers, summarizers, content tools, review workflows, and experiments where the AI has to earn its keep instead of just waving jazz hands.

Featured experiment

Real data, cleaner summaries

The strongest AI projects are not magic tricks. They take messy inputs, process them clearly, and give people something easier to understand.

Featured AI experiment

WMATA Incident Summarizer

A split frontend/backend experiment for turning WMATA transit incident data into cleaner human-readable summaries.

Prototype

Active experiments

Summaries, processors, and content helpers

Current experiments focused on summarization, data cleanup, workflow support, and turning rough inputs into more useful output.

Python / AI

Weather Summary Tool

An Open-Meteo and AI summarizer experiment for turning raw weather data into readable daily summaries.

Prototype

Python / AI / Web

WMATA Incident Summarizer

A practical AI summarization project built around real transit incident data, backend processing, and a separate frontend.

Prototype

Content workflow

Social Media Post Generator

A helper for turning project notes and structured inputs into cleaner social posts, descriptions, and reusable copy.

Planned experiments

Ideas for later, not distractions for today

These are AI-assisted workflows that could become genuinely useful once the surrounding projects are mature enough to justify them.

Moderation / Review

CraftForge Image Review

A future helper for flagging uploaded images that may contain protected IP, hate symbols, or questionable custom requests before production.

Planned

Shop workflow

Product Listing Assistant

A practical assistant for turning real product specs, materials, print time, and pricing notes into clearer listings and posts.

Planned

Portfolio workflow

Project Writeup Assistant

A helper for turning README files, commit notes, and project decisions into human-readable build notes and portfolio posts.

AI rules

The experiment has to have a job

AI is useful when it is scoped, testable, and attached to a real workflow. Otherwise it becomes a very confident fog machine.

Rule

Useful before clever

The AI part has to reduce real work, clean up messy information, or make a workflow easier. Otherwise it is just expensive glitter.

Always

Rule

Human review stays in the loop

For moderation, content, business, and public-facing decisions, AI should assist and flag. It should not blindly approve things that can cause trouble.

Always

Rule

Small scope wins

The best experiments are narrow enough to test, debug, and explain without needing a whiteboard, a grant, and a nap.
