I experiment and build things to understand them.
I'm Rick Rindertsma, from Wijchen in the Netherlands. Background in photography (Fotoacademie) and education (teacher training). I work in Learning & Development, where I design online learning. Father of two.
Everything on this site was built by AI, with me directing. I'm not a developer. No knowledge of code, no patience for code. But a creative with too many ideas and too little patience to wait. AI turned out to be the way to actually get all those ideas working.
Why do I do this? The gap between what AI can do and what most people know about it grows every day. I want to close that gap, preferably through learning and education.
My second brain. Speak a thought and Joi files it away. A personal AI that takes the load off my head. And quietly on its way to something like Samantha from Her.
Live, privateA mini e-learning about the building blocks of a good prompt. No jargon, in ten minutes. Built because I wanted to understand it myself, and noticed most people prompt fine but don't realise why it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.
LiveA maths game with a brainrot theme, built for my son Wouter (8). Practising times tables gets more fun when Skibidi Toilet cheers you on. Learning and laughing at the same time.
LiveAn AI that explains AI with metaphors. From technology to the kitchen, the hardware store, the theme park. Password required. (In Dutch.)
Live prototypeEvery single day: "what are we eating tonight?". Recipes, shopping lists and a Picnic (grocery delivery) integration. Built out of pure necessity, because that question was driving me mad.
LiveA personal iOS app with a Custom GPT that knows my diet. Daily score, macro tracking, weekly overviews. Not built to sell. Built to live healthier. From a 3.2/10 average to 8.0/10.
TestFlight betaSpeak your thoughts and AI sorts them: groceries, reminders, ideas, appointments. Everything ends up in the right place.

Why the world isn't ready for superintelligence. On the growing distance between what AI can do and what most people realise.
On AI in education, the convenience society, and the feeling that no one around you understands what you're talking about.
