You cannot imagine anything too crazy

During a training session about agents, someone literally said: 'I have a lot of ideas, but I do not know where to stop.' You might recognise that. You have seen what agents can do, and now it is bubbling. And at the same time, you do not quite dare to start on it at work yet, because there everything has to be right immediately.

There is a place where that is not necessary, and that is at home. A small project for yourself, that nobody is waiting for and nobody has an opinion on. That day I also showed a few of such crazy ideas. They had nothing to do with work. Yet I think they show better than a demo what is possible today.

At the bottom of this article you will find a prompt that helps you turn your own crazy idea into a plan. Feel free to copy it.

A colleague and his solar panels

A colleague of mine had solar panels installed. And he actually just wanted to know what his consumption was like. Do I need to draw power now, or am I giving it back to the grid? You probably ask yourself that kind of question sometimes too, and usually it stops there.

He started a conversation with an agent. He told it what type of solar panel he had, what brand his inverter was and which energy supplier he was with. And the agent built a dashboard out of it. Now he sees live what his panels generate, what he gives to the grid and what he has to draw. There is even a price calculator attached to it.

I have not done that myself yet, and I fear it is now on my list of weekend projects. He just had a question that occupied his mind, and he gave that question to an agent. Nothing more was actually needed to start.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be able to program to make such a project?

That is not necessary. You describe in plain language what you want, and an agent builds it for you. You ask the questions, look at the result and adjust.

Where do I start if I have a lot of ideas?

Choose a question that has occupied your mind for a long time and that you can finish in a weekend. Let your AI ask you questions first and make a plan before it starts building.

Why should I build something for myself first?

With your own project there is no client and no deadline, so you dare to try more. Meanwhile, you learn the same things as at work, such as briefing, having things looked up and adjusting.

Where can I practise this together with others?

In the Vibe Coding with AI training you build with agents yourself, step by step. If you want to go from idea to working prototype in two days, then look at the AI Builder Hackathon. You can find all dates at Workshops & Events.
