WELCOME
Hello, and welcome to Tiny Bytes!
Most people use AI to answer questions. But it can also make things: checklists you can tick, pages that count down, little tools for your family or business. In every issue we'll show you one you probably didn't know it could do. Copy the prompt, pop it into the AI app on your phone, and see what you get. It takes a minute, and there's no coding.

💬 YOUR PROMPT
Make me a tickable checklist for a weekend camping trip with two kids and a dog. Group it by bag, and add a short "don't forget" list at the end.
The kind of thing you'll get back.
That's it. You just turned a to-do list in your head into something you can use.
Want to try it for real? The online version has live examples you can tap, tick and play with.
It works with whichever AI you already use: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot or something else. If a build needs a specific app or a paid plan, we'll say so up front.
Tiny Bytes comes from Pick & Mix Studios. We build game-inspired eLearning for a living, and we believe learning should feel a bit like play.
