AI Tools Dashboard

A web app that pulls AI tools mentioned in my newsletters and builds a filterable dashboard.

The Problem

As I started learning about AI, I subscribed to daily newsletters. One of these newsletters has a list promoted tools. Occasionally they sounded interesting and sparked ideas, but I'd forget about them as quickly as I discovered them.

The Solution

I built a simple dashboard that reads my emails tagged "AI" and pulls the tools listed. Then Claude tags them. The UI dedupes the list of tools and lets me filter by tags. I then added the ability to favorite tools I want to come back to later.

How AI Is Used

Claude helped me figure out what to build, which tool to use (this led me to using Cursor for the first time), and troubleshoot bugs. In the app, Claude tags and summarizes the tools.

What I Learned

Although the app is simple, it taught me I was capable of building a functioning app within an extraordinarily short amount of time.
