I want some kind of LLM workflow tool.• Ability to manage a set of input files (Markdown or similar), plus other general-purpose context.• With real-time collaboration. (And maybe some concept of snapshots or VCS integration.)• And the ability to create/manage a inference…— Patrick Collison (@patrickc) June 6, 2026

As much as I struggle with on-device processing and the quality of its output compared to server models, I am excited by some of the APIs that are being built into browsers that are backed by LLMs and other AI inference models. For example, the prompt API, along with a multi-modal version that can take any arbitrary combination of text, image, and audio and run prompts against them. These APIs are neat but not yet web-exposed and many developers struggle to know what to do with a generic prompt. It’s not a solution that is natural to many people yet.

introducing Oat - a tiny meeting recorder for your macnotetakers like granola are overkill. i wanted something to record & transcribe meetings locally, and then save a markdown file to my machine so Claude/Codex can do the rest. no signups & free. bring your own agent… pic.twitter.com/lDlFlZeDcp— Razberry (@RazberryChai) September 3, 2026

The Obsidian heads were right.
Codifying a ChatGPT workflow into a malleable GUI
Wouldn't it be neat if you could use LLMs to create little personal utility apps as the need arises? Here's a story where I did just that...

How to Add Copy to Clipboard Buttons to Code Blocks in Hugo
A small quality of life improvement for programming-related websites is to add copy to clipboard buttons to code blocks. When a visitor wants to copy a code example or a shell command, it’s nice to be able to just hit a button rather than manually select the text, right click, and press copy.

Guardian Angels: LLM Personalization for Productivity and Security
I propose an approach for highly personalized LLMs, for near-future productivity gains and personal info/cybersecurity against increasingly powerful LLMs: they should, in the spirit of uploading, try to emulate the user’s values and preferences in order to amplify the principal—not replace them. I discuss a package of techniques and proposals to accomplish such ‘guardian angels’; dynamic evaluation of LLMs combined with active learning and elicitation and heavy inner-monologue search/data-augmentation.

One of the best examples of LLM developer tooling I've heard is from a team that supports software from the 80s-90s. Their only source of documentation is *video interviews* with retired employees. So they feed them into transcription software and get summarized searchable notes out the other end.
