DailyWorks is a weekly show about using AI every day and showing our working. What it's really like to work with these tools, the catches and the corrections, not the demo version. Plus building small apps and books out in the open: the wins, the modest disasters, and the numbers behind them. And the week's AI news, only the parts worth your time and only after they've been checked by me. Warm, wry and unhurried, with your host Peter Hunter. Kettle's on, let's have a tea.

This week: the day I switched off a content machine that had been running perfectly for nine months. Eight hundred and fifteen posts across four platforms, seventy-nine thousand views, twenty followers and no book sales, and what the shape of those numbers actually turned out to mean. Including a correction to my own headline figure, which was wrong. Plus TabletMinder's onboarding rebuild and the 6,015 line file that is the real reason it keeps not happening. The book's chapter seven, "It Has...

The Number I Didn't Check
This week: how I actually checked the AI-built website from last episode, which turned out to be Claude checking Claude.

Same model, t...

The Website That Looked Finished
This week: I let an AI website builder put up a whole site for a friend's business, and then did the unglamorous half of the job, going back to fetch the real live output and check it, where I found the tool's own logo still in the browser tab, brand colours quietly drifted off the official pack, a stray wrong colour the find-replace missed, and the literal words "Body paragraph placeholder" dressed up as finished copy. None of it broken. All of it just looked done. Plus a short beat on rebui...

The Green Tick That Lied
This week, the verdict on the expensive AI I switched off: the free engine wins, though not for the reason I hoped. A machine of mine that reported success every night for a week while doing nothing at all, and what it taught me about trusting a green tick. One idea from the book on the confident fool that can never say "I don't know." Plus the week's AI news, checked before it's aired.

The AI I Switched Off
This week I switched off an artificial intelligence. An expensive one, about a hundred pounds a month, and the app it was meant to be promoting may be doing better without it. A build log from Utter List, one idea from the book, and the week's AI news that actually matters, checked before it's aired.
