This page shows practical examples of how AI and ChatGPT have been used as a creative and technical collaborator in real projects — from quick experiments to long-running, complex systems.
Some projects here really did start from a single, well-defined prompt — especially when the task was based on a well-known concept, such as recreating a classic game. In those cases, the result can feel almost magical.
Other projects emerged through long-term dialogue: asking questions, testing ideas, correcting mistakes, exploring alternatives, and gradually shaping ideas into working software and hardware over weeks or months.
In many cases, I already knew what I wanted to build — but AI helped me get there faster, avoid common traps, explore more options, and stay motivated. The result is not less human creativity, but more of it, amplified by a tireless partner that can brainstorm, explain, and code at any hour.
AI excels when the problem space is well understood — and becomes a collaborator when the problem is not.
TETRIS
PROMPT: Make a Tetris type game (a nice copy clone as a dev test) that is fully playable, using the arrow keys for moving and space for rotating and enter for fast drop. The game should be able to run in a browser. high score needs to be saved, but server side is not needed, local is enough. colors and over all look of the UI and the game is up to you, as long as it feels like a Tetris clone. after each 30 rows destroyed, the level increase and the dropping speed as well, where level 10 is the hardest level.
COMMENT: The fully playable Tetris game above was generated as working code within about 10 seconds. All I needed to do was save the output as an HTML file and open it in a browser to start playing.
REACH
This project was not just one prompt, but hundreds over about a 6 months period, where me and ChatGPT collaborated to create a Robot Arm. I had never ever built a robot before very recent, and ChatGPT was very helpful, both in pointing out traps not to walk into, but also to speed up development with firmware and software and help solve various problems along the way.
COMMENT: I could probably have finished this project without ChatGPT, but it would most likely have taken more than twice the time — and involved far more trial and error.
RPG Book Game
This project was not just one prompt either, but once again hundreds over a long period of time, where me and ChatGPT collaborated to create a Online Role Playing Book Adventure Game. ChatGPT helped with brainstorming of ideas, image and video generation and a lot of code support.
COMMENT: I technically built this game on my own, based on the original analogue books, but with ChatGPT it felt much more like working in a small, creative team.
Echelon Vector
Mystery Game
This project was neither just one prompt, but once again hundreds or more over a long period of time, where me and ChatGPT collaborated to create a Mystery Puzzle Online Game. ChatGPT helped with brainstorming of ideas, image and video generation and a lot of code support.
COMMENT: This is entirely my original idea, but AI reduced the path from concept to realization to roughly 25% of the time it would normally have taken. I was also quite surprised at the time how sophisticated its brainstorming and imagination had become to help me come up with clever solutions.
Conveyor Belt
This project was work related with the purpose to create a modularized conveyor belt for easy and cheap assembly using basically only a 3D printer. I designed all parts myself, but ChatGPT was very helpful with feedback and proper mechanical engineering information, as well as speeding up the coding of the controller board and suggesting proper wiring.
COMMENT: At this point I have become so fluent in ChatGPT communication that it almost finish my sentences in projects like this. It kind of know what I want before I even ask for it.
