“What’s your hobby, Mr. Bond?”
“Resurrection.”
Me too, Mr. Bond. And generative AI enables that.
Here’s an example. Once upon a time, there was an amazing Google Chrome tab extension that let you set up different time zones in new tabs, like a world clock. It was pretty, it was effective, it was… bloated. The company that built it tied it to a server backend and then starting charging money for it.
Then asked for more money. More money.
And eventually went out of business. Poof. Gone.
The idea was good. Their implementation was less good.
So I sat down with generative AI and rebuilt the idea from scratch, my way:
- No back end – completely local.
- No data collected – completely private.
- No tracking codes.
- 1 ad, a blue link at the very bottom.
- And most of all, forever free and open source because let’s be honest, it’s a clock.
I resurrected it from the grave and did it my way. Now I have the thing I want, and it can never, ever be taken away from me.
But here’s the thing: you can do this too.
I’m not a Chrome developer.
I ask good questions. I know how to use Deep Research tools. I can operate an AI coding tool (Cline). I have a good process.
I do all the thinking.
AI does all the typing.
We are stronger together.
So here’s the question for you: what perfectly good ideas that died of bad implementation do you know? How could you resurrect them?
