Writer Eliot Peper builds and ships Dialed to the App Store, an app that delivers hyperlocal surf forecasts for the San Francisco Bay Area.
Dialed is extremely simple. All it does is bring data from different public sources into one place to help you decide when and where to surf along this beautiful stretch of coastline.
With its global scale, it would never make sense for Surfline to do something this niche, nor would the teeny, tiny addressable market for Dialed justify the time or investment required to build it without AI tools. But with those tools, I was able to create a piece of software to solve my own weirdly specific problem, and offer it to others who might find it useful.
I love this so much, for obvious reasons.
