Visit live product

Problem

Most AI chat tools are either generic assistants or opaque enterprise stacks. People need a focused place to brainstorm, discuss, and pressure-test ideas — with a real choice of models and fresh web context when it matters.

Approach

  • Center the product on brainstorming and natural conversation, not command menus.
  • Let people choose OpenAI or Anthropic so the model fits the task.
  • Integrate web search when answers need current information.
  • Ship as a living product at codingburo.com on a modern Angular + Spring AI stack.

Outcome

  • A free-to-join AI brainstorm buddy with multi-provider chat and web search.
  • Clear product story: discuss ideas, keep context, share direction.
  • Demonstrates end-to-end AI product delivery beyond demos and slides.
