If you use OpenCode https://opencode.ai and use their Big Pickle model, it is free. I didn't find it all that great compared to Claude, but I'm sure if you put the time and effort into it, it can bemrcoollion wrote: Fri Aug 14, 2026 10:44 am Step 1: Use any good AI e.g. https://gemini.google.com/ . Be aware that AI usage is not free. I found Google to be affordable.

Re: Is LiveCode still Alive ?
Thanks. I did think you meant LC's AI but your explanation is valuable regardless. I also use Google's Gemini for a number of things. Last week I asked it to create a personal app and was amazed at how quickly it did it. There was one glitch where I needed an API key and it misdirected me until it corrected itself. I had a fully functioning web app in an afternoon, written in PHP, a language I don't know.
Here is my prompt:
I want to create an inventory of objects in my house. It can run in a browser for now. The app should allow me to take a photo of an object. It will analyze the object, define it, assess its probable date of origin and if possible, assess its current value. It should allow me to verify or edit the data. Once verified, put the image and the data into a spreadsheet in Google Sheets.
Now I can walk around the house, snapping photos, and everything else happens automatically. I wouldn't have had any idea what API I needed or how to get the free version. I'm limited to the number of items I can scan daily for free but that's okay.
I think I retired at the right time. I read that the App Store is being flooded with vibe-coded apps lately.
