A web app that reads game save files to recap the story so far
After forgetting where he was in Baldur's Gate 3, the maker had Claude help reverse-engineer the save file, then turned it into a recap site for several games.

The full story
The maker wanted to return to a Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough but could not remember what he had been doing. With Claude's help he reverse-engineered the save file and used its flags and variables to generate a recap of his story choices.
He then added support for more games, including RimWorld, Crusader Kings 3, Disco Elysium and Cyberpunk 2077. A Go server parses the save and sends only the extracted story data to the Claude API, where Sonnet writes the recap for roughly $0.04 to $0.13. He warns that spoilers can still slip in.
