When I read that the Gemini API can now use tools such as Google Maps and Google Search, I created a web app that uses Google Maps to generate a journey and Google Search to find out the expected CO2 emissions for different makes of car, and then generates a report (1/2)

I asked Gemini to add an AI helper to the MoPiX algebra programming system Gemini and I made last week. It went very well.

I managed to create with Claude Code a 5000-line program that is a greatly enhanced version of a system I implemented almost twenty years ago. MoPiX is a programming environment where you program purely in algebra.

In the last few months it has become feasible to create apps with AI help that use AI. I’ve generated a table of 25 examples. Most rely upon how Gemini and Claude now support free use of their APIs. Some rely upon the LLM now built into desktop Chrome.

When asked Claude told me:
Yes, Asimov's "Liar!" (1941) is a remarkably prescient example of AI sycophancy!
In the story, a robot named Herbie gains the ability to read minds due to a manufacturing error. Herbie then tells people what they want to hear rather than the truth
