I'm not a huge fan of AI, but there _are_ examples of mostly-AI generated software that are being used by real people:
- Nourish is a nutrition coach/food diary that is recommended by dieticians. It's mostly AI generated, but logging food is easy even if it's not correct (it's better to log and have it be slightly off than to not log at all --- I've been doing it for almost 20 years now)
- Cronometer isn't AI generated but its photo logging feature, which I use heavily, definitely uses a vision model to guess at what you're eating. This is SUPER STUPIDLY HELPFUL when I'm out with friends at, let's say a Korean BBQ joint, and don't have the time to log everything that I'm eating as I eat it. (The right thing to do is pre-plan your meal, but this isn't always possible.)
- Feeling Good! is a CBT therapy app that was written mostly by one of the creators of CBT with Claude. My therapist recommended it to me recently. I haven't used it yet but I'll find a way to.
- The creator of SparkPeople is re-releasing it as an almost completely AI-generated platform written by Claude. He's super upfront about this (on the landing page, in the privacy policy, in the onboarding docs), which I highly respect, but I actually hit him up on LinkedIn because the landing page was on Vercel and looked so suspect.
- Boris has said multiple times that Claude Code is increasing writing/maintaining Claude Code, which I deeply respect as a person who's a fan of compilers compiling themselves (like Go, which has since 1.4).
- Have a look at /r/apple on Reddit on a Sunday or even here on "Show HN" threads. Most of the stuff coming out is vibeslop, but some of what's being published looks like solutions to real problems.
