AI Coding Agents can be Useful

AI is everywhere and looks like it will stick with us.

I’m learning AI to leverage my engineering skills. Currently experimenting heavely with Claude Code and enjoying the experience.

Like everyone else I had issues to track my todos, including house related stuff like shopping lists, bills etc.. To solve this I’m developing a super super basic and simple todo app called “Assistant”.

My goal is to develop it to fit my personal needs, and I started with todos.

Todo list

It is easy to add new todos.

Adding todo items

Everything stored in a local sqlite database in the device. I can export and import the database if needed. Most of the updates can delete the database so this feature helps a lot.

Export and import database

This app is built using Kotlin and I don’t know how to write Kotlin, but thanks to Claude Code I managed to build something I enjoy. Claude Code is amazing but forces you to use Anthropic models. Found this amazing blog post (how to build a coding agent: free workshop) written by Geoffrey Huntley and it is a super basic introduction to building ai coding agents.
