A tech lover built six personal AI apps that now run from their phone
Six personal AI apps, starting with a phone image generator that delivers a picture in under a minute, built with Make.com and Apple Shortcuts.
This student has always loved what technology can do, and the AI Mastery courses turned that love into working tools. Starting with one small wish, a quick image or a mood lift, they went on to build six custom apps that live on their phone. It is a clear picture of how far curiosity can go once the tools feel within reach.
Before
They had always been passionate about technology and automation as a way to bring big ideas to life. Still, shaping that technology to fit their own daily needs was something to imagine rather than something they did. The possibilities were there, but not yet in their hands.
“AI mastery courses completely changed the way I approach innovations in my daily life.”
In their own words
The turning point
The AI Mastery courses changed how they approached innovation in daily life. Suddenly, understanding technology and adapting it to their needs felt easy. They began with one small, personal need: a quick way to make a nice image or lift their mood.
“It has never been so easy to understand and adapt technology to one’s needs.”
In their own words
After
Their first build was a Flux image generator: a custom Make.com app with three modules connected to the Replicate API, opened from an Apple Shortcut that asks for a prompt and sends a notification with the image in under a minute. Five more followed: a text-to-video GIF generator, an expense tracker built with Airtable forms, alerts for trading price movements, a tool that scrapes and summarises trading result pictures, and a chatbot built from vectorised AI Mastery transcripts using Pinecone and Carrd.
What it lets people do
Each app turns a small daily task into a single tap on the phone. They can create images and GIFs on the go, log expenses, keep an eye on market movements, and ask questions of their course material through their own chatbot.
What they learned
They discovered they could do far more than they expected, and that this knowledge can lift both productivity and creativity. In their words, AI has made everything smarter, faster and more accessible.
“I have truly surprised myself with what I’ve been able to create - and the impact this knowledge can have on our productivity and creativity.”
