I build AI-powered tools every week
and show you exactly how I make them.
Apps, automations, agents, templates — and the occasional thing that probably shouldn't work but does. Follow the journey from build #1.
Newsletter #1 drops this week.
What to expect
A new build every week
Tools, apps, templates, automations — each one solving a real problem. Some for business, some for fun, all built with AI. The catalogue grows every week.
The honest breakdown
What I built, why I built it, how it actually works, and what I'd do differently. No "10x your productivity" nonsense. Just the real process.
Free tools along the way
Not everything has a price tag. Some of the most interesting builds are free — and they're yours to use.
What I've been building
New tools ship weekly. Here's what's live.
Built by Ian
I am a solopreneur living in Totnes, Devon, UK. I have started Bright Sparks AI to turn my love of tech, side projects and AI tools into real products, with real utility — shipped weekly and built in public.
I work a 9-5 and have a busy week as a Dad to two wonderful kids, so I mainly build on evenings and weekends. The plan is to ship something every week for a year and see what happens.
