SiebeGPT

When ChatGPT arrived I did not just want to use it, I wanted to know what building on top of these models felt like. So I built my own: SiebeGPT. And not just chat. Conversation, image generation, video, music and code generation, each in its own room of one dashboard.

The stack was Next.js, Postgres and the OpenAI API, with real auth in front so my credits would survive my friends. And here is the detail I enjoy most in hindsight: I built almost all of it without any AI helping me. That dates the project better than any timestamp could.

I never planned to release it. ChatGPT was free and I would have been paying for everyone's tokens, which is a short story with a sad ending. The point was to learn how AI fits inside a product. It was my first time putting AI in an application. It would not be the last.
