The full story

Parrot is a free, open-source meeting recorder for Mac with a live assistant built in. It notices when a call starts, records it and suggests answers from your own documents during the call, not afterwards. A London entrepreneur with a self-described terrible memory built it with Claude for his own daily calls.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.
