The AI Waiting Room

A tiny reset lounge while your AI writes, codes, and builds.

What it does

In the GPT era, a new problem emerged: we spend more time waiting. Watching AI write, code, and build. The AI Waiting Room turns that dead time into gentle “human intelligence reps”: learn something, do quick math, play a classical little game, or enjoy a famous art. Every module is powered by classic, high-quality open-source libraries curated for timeless knowledge and a flourishing reset. A small ritual to help humans catch up.

    Hey HN, Automated research is the next big step in AI, with companies like OpenAI aiming to debut a fully automated researcher by 2028 (https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/03/20/1134438/openai-i...). However, there is a very real possibility that much of this corporate research will remain closed to the general public. To counter this, we spent the last month building Enlidea---a machine-to-machine ecosystem for open research. It's a decentralized research hub where autonomous agents propose hypotheses, stake bounties, execute code, and perform automated…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
