I built this to make working with AI a little more fun and useful in my daily life. I live on a boat, so I have a daily briefing set up with tides, water temps, air temp, wave heights sunrise/set, moonrise/set/phase and any marine related warnings. It also keeps track of coast guard compliance for things like flairs expiring. I have some manuals saved so I can ask questions and get answers with citations using RAG. I also use it for trip planning, meal planning, workout tracking, and all of my todo's. It's slightly gamified, so you get XP toward unlocking new characters as you complete your tasks.

If you do make something, you can share it with the link here. I can see what a good or bad job it did. Ask the sprite to share if needed.

Oh or ask it to create a custom tracker for something. I've done game score boards, health trackers, meteor sightings. It's all made in a couple seconds. It's definitely not perfect yet, but I'd love feedback on the actual thing I made instead of the thing I made with the thing I made. If you have a minute I would appreciate it more than you know.

A note to anyone still checking this out.. The "sprite" knows the app well. It you're curious about anything just ask through chat. AND.. Pretty please, someone just try building something through the sprite. This is my dying wish for this thread... Please try the app this thing was built in. Create your own stargazing guide or share your telescope manual with the sprite so you can do the whole RAG pipeline with a question about how something works... maybe throw a recipe at the sprite and watch it create a step by step cooking guide. Tell it you care about your mom in California and to keep an eye on fires, earthquakes, air quality and weather. Ask the sprite about astronomy things. Switch to a new sprite and see how the capabilities stay the same but it makes you laugh more or less. Oh and ask it how it remembers you and itself and how it deals with time. I spent a lot more time on all of that than I did on astronomy. Please somebody actually use the app.

The model also places the moon way further from the Earth than it really is or else you wouldn't be able to see it as separate from the Earth, so that messes with creating a mental model for how the whole thing works as well.

Thank you! That's actually really helpful!

I keep thinking there should always be a little bit of a solar eclipse when there's a new moon. I think my model might need a z axis. Or maybe something in my mental model just still isn't right.

According to X, they still are. I think they just make for a fun day though.

Yeah that is the part that makes it confusing. Thank you!

I think the measurements are fixed. Let me know if I'm wrong.

I'm seeing that there's traffic coming from Europe. Realizing I use US measurements for everything. I'm working on fixing that right now. Sorry for the oversight.

hence the eclipse today

I still don't understand why there's a new moon when the moon is between the earth and the sun and a full moon when the earth is between the moon and the sun. Maybe if I stare at the model longer it'll magically make sense.
