Show HN: Paint AI – MS Paint without any tools (until AI creates them for you) (paintai.groupmind.co.uk)
3 points by quasiuna 893 days ago
This is my first ever Show HN so please go easy! Demo is also hosted on a $6/mo VM!

I've created a basic Paint program with no pens, brushes or other drawing tools. Instead you get the AI to create the painting tools for you and it writes, tests and deploys the JavaScript for you live, usually within 30 seconds.

It only uses OpenAI's gpt-3.5-turbo model too which I've found to be fast enough and good enough for this use case.

Paint AI could be a world's first, at least I've not yet seen anything quite like it, but would love to see anything else in this space in the comments.

Try the demo at https://paintai.groupmind.co.uk/

Thousands of software developers are using AI chat and code-completion tools to help them write code. Paint AI takes this one step further, getting AI to write, test and deploy code without any human involvement!

This is a super neat idea! Worked really well for creating brush and spray paint tools. Not so much for a marquee / selection tool, however.

Found a UI bug as well - when you refresh the page, then click a tool, try to use it, then click 'load all', it duplicates the initial tool you chose.

Thanks for the report!
Very cool idea!
Cheers!
