Dan Calin — Developer · Building with & into AI

01 The approach

I work both ends of modern software — using AI to build, and building AI into what I ship. Each is a loop I've learned to run well. Watch the signal move through them.

01

Building with AI

AI as a pair-programmer. It drafts fast — the craft is in the judgment.

idea AI drafts I judge refine ship

↻ refine feeds back to draft — fast iterations, kept honest

02

Building AI in

Voice, reasoning and tool-calls wired into the product — agents that act.

listen intent tool-call act speak

↻ the result is spoken back — then it listens again

Flagship // building AI in

A Windows voice assistant powered by Gemini Live that controls the PC, Discord, the web and your files — entirely by voice. It ships a FastAPI tool-server, so external agents can call its tools too.
